Chapter 864: with translation of chapter title
Xie Yiren hung up the phone, no longer having that previous burst of enthusiasm. Especially when Xie Ning said he would come back, Xie Yiren and Zheng Ren each had their own thoughts.
In the pitch-black room, they embraced again; that surge of fervor had vanished, leaving only a faint warmth and tranquility.
"Yi Ren, is your father easy to talk to?" Zheng Ren asked, somewhat worried.
"My dad's pretty good."
"What does he require of your boyfriend?"
"Hmm..." Xie Yiren pondered; Zheng Ren lightly kissed her ear, Xiao Yi Ren laughed and said, "It tickles, don't mess around."
Xie Yiren walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the opposite side's pitch-black, monster-like postmodern ugly building, lost in thought.
"Yi Ren, I'm asking you: what does your father require of your boyfriend?" Zheng Ren walked up beside Xie Yiren, stood shoulder to shoulder at the window, looking at the quiet night, and asked softly.
"There's no special requirement; my dad once said he doesn't demand matching social status. Financially, there's no need to consider it either, because boys of suitable age almost never have more money than I do." Xie Yiren said. (Note 1)
Zheng Ren thought of the twenty million euros lying in the public account. Although he now had money, he definitely wouldn't have as much as Xiao Yi Ren.
"As long as you're honest and decent, willing to treat me well, that's enough." Xie Yiren said softly: "The most important thing is..."
Xie Yiren paused for a few seconds; for Zheng Ren, those few seconds were agonizing.
"What is the most important thing?" Zheng Ren worriedly asked.
"You must be the best surgeon!" Xie Yiren said with a laugh while pushing Zheng Ren out of the room, "Hurry back to sleep; in a bit, if Yue Jie comes back and sees us here with the lights off, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Being pushed out the door, Zheng Ren felt helpless.
The father-in-law's call came at a truly bad time. Zheng Ren gave a wry smile, standing in the hallway, looking at Xie Yiren's features like a painting, the flush on her cheeks not yet fully faded, his heart fluttered.
He took a step forward, but Xiao Yi Ren chuckled and directly shut the door.
"Go rest early!" Xiao Yi Ren's voice came from behind the door, somewhat muffled.
"..." Zheng Ren sighed, knowing he wouldn't be getting in tonight.
This won't do; Chang Yue lives on this side, and Xiao Yi Ren's schedule is also a fixed routine between two points; we definitely need to find an opportunity.
If there's no opportunity, we'll have to create one ourselves.
Zheng Ren frowned, pondering hard, but his brain simply couldn't figure this out.
Or we could wait for Su Yun to come back and ask; that guy definitely has a way.
Returning to his residence, Zheng Ren began washing up.
Just as he finished showering, Su Yun returned, looking unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Ren asked in surprise.
"I just ordered skewers, and then that thing came to pack up the stall." Su Yun sighed; obviously, his condition today is just right—he hasn't had enough to drink.
"Don't be gloomy; there are plenty of opportunities." Zheng Ren comforted him.
Su Yun went to change clothes; Zheng Ren followed behind in his pajamas.
"What are you doing?" Su Yun turned back, frowned and asked, "Boss, you're acting strange today."
"I have a question for you." Zheng Ren hesitated a bit.
Su Yun took out a pack of 95 Supreme from his pocket, threw one to Zheng Ren, didn't go back inside, but came to the living room, sat on the sofa, looked seriously at Zheng Ren, waiting for him to ask.
"I want to create a romantic environment to be alone with Yi Ren; any good recommendations?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Cough cough cough..." Su Yun choked on a mouthful of smoke and kept coughing.
Zheng Ren looked at Su Yun in surprise.
He took a sip of water, recovered after nearly a minute; Su Yun felt a bit better. He looked at Zheng Ren like he was looking at an idiot, blew out a breath, his black forehead hair fluttering.
"Boss, can you have some proper business?" Su Yun asked.
"I don't have proper business? Tonight I'm doing emergency; Director Luo said the day after tomorrow we need to admit a few more patients, have us do a surgery live broadcast." Zheng Ren said.
"..." Su Yun's eyes lit up, "Really? Director Luo is pretty generous."
"Yeah, in the evening the patient vomited a lot of blood, blood sprayed onto the room." Zheng Ren said, "Emergency TIPS surgery; I estimate besides me, no one dares to guarantee they can pull it off."
Su Yun wanted to retort, to throw Zheng Ren's fart back at him. But this statement is solid truth.
Wanting to refute, he couldn't find words to say.
Su Yun smiled, looked at Zheng Ren, and said, "You just want to have a two-person world with Xiao Yi Ren, go out and fool around."
"It's romantic."
"Tch." Su Yun scorned, "Do you want to stay in Di Du or go out?"
"Hmm..." Zheng Ren didn't expect there to be so many options, he pondered a bit.
"Let's put it this way: if we leave Di Du, it's also quite convenient. I estimate you'll soon be able to sprint with the flying knife; by then you can take the instrument nurse and go, and I won't follow." Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren with a smug smile and said.
"This isn't romantic." Zheng Ren directly denied.
"Just let you be stupid to death." Su Yun mercilessly despised Zheng Ren, this intellectually diminished idiot, "If we're in Di Du, it's also simple: go see the sunrise, or go see the sea. Setting off from this point, arriving at the seaside, we can just catch the sunrise."
Zheng Ren pondered, this plan is good.
"If it's just about watching the sunrise, there are mountains around Di Du. However, not recommended; generally speaking, the weather is bad, so the chance to see the sunrise is low. Moreover, mostly couples go to watch the sunrise. Imagine, couple after couple sitting on the mountain, how embarrassing it would be. Blowing in the cold wind. If it suddenly rains, you won't see the sunrise and might catch a cold." Su Yun chattered on and on.
"Um..."
"The night wind on the mountain is damn cold; you still have to give your clothes to Yi Ren to keep warm. If a light rain comes, it's especially soul-stirring."
Zheng Ren felt that Su Yun this guy must have had similar experiences, otherwise he wouldn't feel so heart-wrenching.
However, his suggestion is actually good: go to the seaside to watch the sunrise over the sea?
Hmm, that's very romantic.
In Zheng Ren's mind, the definition of romance is limited to things like watching the sunrise; anything more, he racks his brain, but comes up with nothing.
"I'll work out a set of strategies for you, all sincere advice; remember to read it word by word, and really absorb it." Su Yun said.
Zheng Ren recalled how he taught himself to notice the small details of movie theater armrests, and nodded repeatedly.
In this regard, Su Yun is my teacher; I must listen carefully.
"Alright, I'm going to sleep." Su Yun was a bit tired, saying: "The Shou Bing workload might increase soon, Boss, you okay?"
"I'm definitely fine; just get things sorted on your end."
"As a flawless assistant, what could possibly be wrong with me?" Su Yun scoffed, yawned, reeking of alcohol, went to sleep, too exhausted to even take a shower.
……
……
Note 1: Sicong Gongzi's remark was refuted as soon as he said it. Among his friends, there are still people richer than him or just as wealthy. So Xiao Yi Ren should also keep a low profile.
