Chapter 23 Time is like that thing
Tang Xiaofeng's injured left hand was severely criticized by Director Zhu, Director Sun and others. Director Zhu even removed the bandage from Tang Xiaofeng's left hand, repeatedly examining it to find that the palm and thumb were not damaged nerves or tendons. After that, he scolded Tang Xiaofeng again. "After all, a doctor's hands are their second pair of eyes. If a doctor's hands..." As a doctor, Tang Xiaofeng understood the importance of his hands more than anyone else. Director Zhu's nagging did not make him feel any resentment, but rather a sense of closeness. Tang Xiaofeng smiled at Director Zhu all along, until finally, Director Zhu waved his hand and gave Tang Xiaofeng two days off, sending him out of the office to rest.
Tang Xiaofeng felt that he had recovered well, and said that his left hand was originally fine, it's just that he couldn't overexert himself to pull the healing wound. However, Director suddenly chased him out of the emergency room. Tang Xiaofeng smiled helplessly, thinking that he didn't have anywhere else to go, so he might as well go home? But he didn't want to go home because his old man would be sitting in front of him all day, nagging and urging him to get married quickly, saying things like "I'm waiting for you to give me a grandson". Tang Xiaofeng finally thought of a place where it was quiet and he could rest while also broadening his horizons.
Just leaving the hospital, Tang Xiao Feng immediately plunged into the Tengyang City People's Library, starting to read through the library's newspapers from the 1990s, including party papers, commercial papers, medical papers, and legal papers. In the room, Tang Xiao Feng rubbed his tired eyes, feeling that these newspapers could provide some information but were mostly dull and tasteless things. Just as he was about to get up and return to the library to find some valuable books, his pager suddenly beeped "beep, beep, beep". Under the gaze of everyone in the room, Tang Xiao Feng awkwardly pulled out his pager, and the screen displayed: "Where are you? Has your hand healed?" Tang Xiao Feng saw that it was Li Na who had sent the page, and without even bothering to find a book, he got up and walked towards the telephone booth outside the library. He dialed the number left on the message, but it was busy or unavailable for several times, and it wasn't until the fourth try that the call went through.
"Hello?" came Li Na's voice from the other end of the phone.
Tang Xiaofeng smiled and said: "What's wrong? I dialed the phone number several times, but it was always busy."
"I'm outside the Galaxy Mall. Someone was just here making a phone call and wouldn't stop, it's so annoying." Li Na replied.
"Who's made our little miss angry? Where are you? I'll go and teach him a lesson!" Tang Xiao Feng shouted loudly.
Li Na smiled softly: "You always think of teaching others, how's your hand? Still a doctor, I think your self-care attitude is not as good as ordinary people." Li Na paused for a moment: "Where are you, there are too many people near the business district, it's crowded and don't bump into your hand, I'll go find you instead."
"I'm at the city library." "What are you doing there?" "Reading a book."
"Okay, wait for me outside the library gate, I'll be there in about ten minutes." Li Na hung up the phone with a smile on her face. She had originally wanted to use the excuse of thanking Tang Xiao Feng to meet him once and see what kind of person he was. But after last night when Tang Xiao Feng grabbed the dagger, her calm heart had been stirred up and she couldn't calm down. She had always thought she was a calm and rational girl, but after last night, she lost her composure. This feeling made her happy, yet also made her feel a little shy.
She attributed her expectation of meeting Tang Xiaofeng to a kind of friendship, but deep down she reminded herself that there was a bit of self-deception. Li Na took a taxi from the train station and arrived at the city library. From afar, she saw Tang Xiaofeng's tall figure standing in front of the library entrance, wearing a white T-shirt, light blue jeans, and a pair of black sports shoes.
Seeing Li Na coming over, Tang Xiaofeng hurriedly went forward to greet her and grabbed the taxi fare.
Li Na's straight and beautiful black long hair fell on her shoulders, her face slightly red, seeing Tang Xiao Feng's mischievous smile, Li Na's eyes slightly frowned. Li Na lightly got out of the taxi, her white long dress fluttering like a cloud in the sky, looking at Tang Xiao Feng's shameless smile, Li Na couldn't help but laugh, revealing a set of snow-white and neat teeth. Tang Xiao Feng took over Li Na's handbag and asked: "What do you want from me?"
"I want you to go shopping with me!"
This made Tang Xiaofeng feel a bit surprised, wasn't she just casually saying that while shopping? But seeing Li Na's serious expression, it didn't seem like she was being deliberate either. However, men generally have one common problem - not many are willing to accompany women shopping, and Tang Xiaofeng was no exception.
"Hey! Are you going or not?" Li Na was getting impatient, in her opinion Tang Xiao Feng didn't like her proposal.
Tang Xiaofeng seemed a bit hesitant, they were originally standing in front of the library, and some passersby nearby heard the commotion and looked over at the excitement from afar.
"Haven't eaten yet?" Tang Xiao Feng replied evasively.
Li Na nodded.
Tang Xiao Feng saw that the taxi from earlier was still there, parked in front of a small store buying things. He beckoned to it and he and Li Na opened the door and got back in. They headed to Food King Congee House near Pedestrian Street Square. The congee here is very famous. Tang Xiao Feng chose a window seat on the second floor, ordered two bowls of lean pork and egg congee, two baskets of crystal dumplings, and had the server brew a pot of green tea. He and Li Na chatted as they ate.
Tang Xiao Feng learned that Tang Xiao Feng's hand was not seriously injured, and in the morning, he was scolded by the director of the department, who carefully examined his left hand again and again. He was then given two days off and chased out of the emergency room, which made Li Na feel amused and a little guilty, after all, Tang Xiao Feng's hand was injured for her sake. Her pretty face became even more rosy and charming, making Tang Xiao Feng's heart skip a beat.
Li Na apparently felt the scorching gaze of Tang Xiao Feng, her beautiful eyes cast towards the pedestrian square outside the glass window, trying to escape Tang Xiao Feng's line of sight. She said softly: "I heard from colleagues that every year when the lotus flowers in Danyang Lake are in full bloom, it's very beautiful."
Tang Xiaofeng had been in Tengyang City for some time, but he really hadn't visited Tengyang Lake. When Li Na said this, she took the initiative to invite him: "If you have time, I'll take you to play at Tengyang Lake a few days later, okay?"
Li Na's long black eyelashes drooped down, flickered lightly for a moment, and finally made up her mind to nod slightly: "I'll see if I can find some time in the next few days."
"It's settled then, I'll wait for your call." Tang Xiao Feng said unequivocally.
Li Na hesitated: "Well, I'll call you in advance and try to arrange a good time." Tang Xiao Feng laughed: "You're not some big boss who's that busy. There's a saying that goes like this - time is like a woman's cleavage, squeeze it a bit and there will be some."
One sentence made Li Na's pretty face blush to the roots of her ears, and she whispered: "Tang Xiao Feng, you are indeed a thorough scoundrel!" However, she found that Tang Xiao Feng's gaze was intentionally or unintentionally scanning her chest, and Li Na subconsciously made a shrinking motion, this scoundrel's eyes were simply too lewd.
