Chapter 227 Women disguised as men
"Doctor Chen, my mother went to the Good Luck Restaurant and packed some of her specialties for us. How about we dine together?"
Seeing this, Xie Tianyi couldn't help but feel a subtle emotion in his heart, and he was more curious and puzzled about Ma Jin's appearance in the back room of the clinic.
"Doctor Chen, do you have any other patients who need your care? If so, please go ahead and do your own thing."
Before Chen Xi could speak, Xie Tianyi eagerly explained, "I'm not here to see a doctor, but to invite Doctor Chen to have dinner with me."
Ma Jin suddenly realized what was going on and said with a smile, "So you are Doctor Chen's family member. That's great. The dishes my mother prepared are very rich, enough for us to share."
Chen Xi wanted to decline politely, after all, the food at Good Luck was not new to her. But before she could open her mouth, Xie Tianyi had already agreed, with a look of determination that would not tolerate rejection.
Chen Xi looked at him in surprise, secretly guessing his intentions in her heart, but since Xie Tianyi had already agreed, she could no longer refuse, so she had to tell Mo Hua and Mo Qin to remember to lock the door when they left.
On the dining table, six delicious dishes were neatly arranged, with a fragrant aroma.
"Doctor Chen, who is this?"
Ma Jin's mother, Aunt Hu, asked curiously.
"Aunt Hu, this is... my family."
Chen Xi answered casually, laughing in his heart. Ma Jin's previous misunderstanding was not a big deal.
Aunt Hu nodded in understanding, her eyes full of smiles.
"Doctor Chen, you are only 19 years old this year. You are really young and promising. Your future is limitless."
Chen Xi responded with a smile, waved his hands modestly, and repeatedly said that he was not worthy of it.
At the dinner table, several people were eating and chatting in a harmonious atmosphere.
Xie Tianyi casually asked why Aunt Hu and Ma Jin were temporarily staying in the clinic. His words and actions were just right, making people feel comfortable and not abrupt.
Upon learning that it was for the treatment of an illness, Xie Tianyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Doctor Chen, I didn't expect you to be one year younger than me. It's really admirable."
Although this meal is simple, it is full of warmth and harmony.
However, as the dinner was coming to an end, Xie Tianyi frowned slightly because Aunt Hu suddenly proposed to be a matchmaker for Chen Xi.
"Doctor Chen, have you ever married?"
Aunt Hu asked with concern, her eyes sparkling with eagerness.
Chen Xi answered frankly that he was not married yet.
This answer seemed to ignite Aunt Hu's enthusiasm.
"Oh, I know a lot of good girls around your age, with cheerful personalities and kind hearts. If Doctor Chen is interested, I can introduce one or two to you."
At this moment, Aunt Hu has completely transformed into a warm-hearted matchmaker.
Chen Xi waved her hands quickly, with a helpless smile: "Aunt Hu, thank you for your kindness, but I really have no plans to start a family at the moment, so forget it."
Aunt Hu was not willing to give up easily. She insisted, "You should start with a family and then a career. The girls I know are all virtuous and will definitely be able to help you."
Chen Xi declined again, with a gentle but firm attitude.
Seeing this, Aunt Hu knew that Chen Xi had made up his mind, so she had to give up. She just muttered in private: "If Doctor Chen was a girl, it would be great if she was directly betrothed to my filial son. It would really suit my heart."
This unexpected dinner ended with laughter and Aunt Hu's slight regret, and a seed called fate was quietly planted in everyone's heart, waiting for the day in the future when it would bloom into an unexpected flower.
When Chen Xi heard this, a warm feeling suddenly surged in his throat, and the clear water that he was about to swallow almost became the culprit of choking.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, Oh my god, this joke is a bit too much, it's going to put people directly in an embarrassing situation.
When Xie Tianyi heard this, a layer of gloom instantly covered his handsome face, like dark clouds covering the sun, completely obscuring his originally gentle expression.
He had mixed feelings in his heart. He had not yet had a chance to express his feelings for Chen Xi, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway and caught him off guard.
"I'm done eating. How about you? Do you want to leave?"
In order to escape from this suffocating atmosphere as quickly as possible, Chen Xi hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and stood up almost as if escaping, attempting to end this sudden turmoil with action.
Aunt Hu seemed to realize her slip of the tongue, a trace of regret flashed across her face, and she quickly gave Chen Xi an apologetic smile, her eyes full of requests for forgiveness.
Ma Jin, who was standing by, also quickly agreed, saying sincerely, "My mother really has no ill intentions. Doctor Chen, please don't take it to heart. Besides, I really have no interest in men."
When he spoke the last few words, two red clouds appeared on Ma Jin's face, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito's buzz, but it fell clearly into the ears of Chen Xi and Xie Tianyi.
Xie Tianyi's expression became increasingly gloomy, as if he was regretting his impulsive intervention.
He didn't say much, but just gently took Chen Xi's hand and walked towards home with firm steps.
Chen Xi did not object to this, but instead felt inexplicably relieved. After all, staying in the clinic for one more second would be like sinking deeper and deeper into an awkward quagmire.
The cool night breeze gently brushed across their cheeks as they returned, and seemed to blow away the irritability in Xie Tianyi's heart.
He began to reflect, perhaps his reaction just now was indeed too intense.
"I'm sorry, I mean no harm, I'm just afraid they'll say more inappropriate things."
Xie Tianyi tilted his head and explained to Chen Xi with gentle eyes.
Chen Xi didn't seem to mind at all, and was even grateful to Xie Tianyi for his timely rescue.
"It's okay, we're just walking together, let's continue."
Her words were light, as if nothing was worth mentioning.
Under the moonlight, the two people's figures sometimes intertwined and sometimes overlapped, performing a silent story on the ground with the rhythm of their footsteps.
Xie Tianyi inadvertently glanced at the shadow on the ground, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and an indescribable joy surged in his heart.
When Xiaoyang and Xiaochen saw Xie Tianyi return, the joy of reunion almost overflowed from their eyes. After all, there were only a few days each month when they could be together with their father.
That night, the two children were in a dilemma as they wanted to sleep with their father but couldn't bear to leave their mother.
Finally, they made a naive yet heartwarming decision - the three of them would sleep together.
Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh inwardly, he was both moved and amused by the children's innocent kindness.
Ever since Xie Tianyi proposed marriage, she found it increasingly difficult to face the delicate relationship between them.
However, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen's commotion unexpectedly confirmed some of her thoughts.
After bathing and changing clothes, Chen Xi neatly arranged for Xiaoyang, Xiaochen and Xie Tianyi to sleep together, while he himself enjoyed the rare time alone.
Wouldn't it be more comfortable to lie on such a big bed alone?
