During this time, work had just ended and the customers had not come up yet. The restaurant was still a little empty.
Zheng Ren found a table and sat down before taking a look around. The shop’s decorations were a mix-and-match style. The table was made of wood. It was deliberately made to look old. There were soft lights shining on it, with a few Japanese-style dishes neatly arranged.
“One serving of wasabi squid and two... No, three servings of foie gras sushi. How fresh is the salmon here?”
“Miss, it was just flown in today.”
“One serving of, um...salmon belly. ” Xie Yiren looked at the menu attentively. Zheng Ren could see her love for food.
“Girardeau raw oysters, two... Zheng Ren, do you like raw oysters?” Xie Yiren asked.
“I’m alright with them.” Zheng Ren’s experience with oysters was only from the barbecued oysters from Tycoon Xiao Chuan. He did not like to eat them very much. However, he did not particularly dislike them either.
“Then I want six,” Xie Yiren said.
“Miss, our oysters are French Girardeau oysters flown in from France. The price...” The waiter kindly reminded her.
Xie Yiren glanced at the price and said, “Oh, it’s sixty-nine for one. That’s fine. The Girardeau oysters here are pretty good. I’ve been here a few times and they’re all very fresh. You can try them.”
Zheng Ren was at a loss and nodded.
“One serving of sweet prawns.”
Xie Yiren did not order much but all her choices were very exquisite.
When the dishes were served, Xie Yiren had to introduce each dish to Zheng Ren.
Girardeau raw oysters were named the Rolls Royce of raw oysters. They were the best concave type of oysters and the best ones had to be air-flown in. When eating them, one had to drink the seawater inside first. It was slightly fishy and salty. Once you got used to it, you would be fine.
Next was the sweet prawns, which were a specialty from Hokkaido. They had a sticky texture to them. It was not that the food had gone bad, but it had a very special taste.
Zheng Ren was confused as he listened. He only kept nodding his head as he answered, “Yes, yes, yes.”
When the dishes were all served, Xie Yiren realized that she had forgotten something.
She looked into Zheng Ren’s eyes and whispered, “While eating Japanese food, you have to drink sake. Do you want to drink some with me?”
“Uh...” Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment. He still needed to perform three surgeries tomorrow.
He still remembered Professor Rudolf Wagner’s bloodshot eyes the next day.
“That’s great then,” Xie Yiren clasped her hands together and said cheerfully. “Waiter, give me a bottle and two cups.”
Zheng Ren broke into a cold sweat.
However, Xie Yiren knew that Zheng Ren could not drink, so she only poured him a glass of wine glass. The wine glass itself was very textured. The drink floated in the glass, and there was no pungent smell of alcohol.
“I like to drink plum wine but it’s a pity that we don’t really have it at home,” Xie Yiren raised her glass and smiled. “To the success of Ji Fei’er’s surgery tomorrow and her newlywed happiness. Cheers!”
Ji Fei’er was the patient who had a blood coagulation disorder the moment she became pregnant. Zheng Ren was a little distressed by this but Xie Yiren was in high spirits. Therefore, Zheng Ren did not want to disappoint her.
The wine glasses clinked lightly. After taking a sip, Zheng Ren asked, “You’re not supposed to drive after drinking. Are you our designated driver?”
“I don’t like others touching my car. I’ve thought it through. We can walk back later or take the bus,” Xie Yiren said.
The lights were a little dim, the fragrance of the wine faintly lingering. Zheng Ren was already dizzy.
Every food had its own characteristics. The foie gras was fragrant, and the oysters were fresh and fat. The two of them chatted and ate as they laughed. In the blink of an eye, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening.
Zheng Ren rushed to pay the bill. He glanced at the bill. It was more than 1,300 yuan. Zheng Ren clicked his tongue.
It seemed that he would have to earn more money in the future. He always felt that it was wrong to think that there was no place to spend money, Zheng Ren thought to himself.
Walking out of Kobayashi Kaoru Sushi, the cold wind was biting at him.
Xie Yiren’s smiling face was red. She had only drunk a quarter of the bottle before becoming unable to drink anymore. On the other hand, Zheng Ren did not drink much but was still a little tipsy.
“Ah, it’s the bus!” A bus suddenly appeared in front of them. Xie Yiren was a little tipsy. She did not care about which direction the bus was going. She held Zheng Ren’s hand and the two of them jumped onto the bus.
At this time, it was the last bus to Sea City.
There were many seats as it was quite empty.
As the bus was not very warm, it was chilly inside, especially with the hard, plastic chairs. They felt as cold as ice. Xie Yiren did not sit on them. Instead, she hugged Zheng Ren’s arm and whispered, “Zheng Ren, they say that the last bus is haunted.”
Zheng Ren was speechless.
He had never seen a ghost before. However, the bloody scene left behind in typical horror stories had always left an impression on him. When he was in school, he participated in an autopsy with a pathology teacher and an autopsy teacher.
The bodies were even fatter than the Girardeau oysters he had eaten today.
“It’s okay. Even ghosts are afraid of evil people.” Zheng Ren put on a fierce look and smiled. “I’m here.”
“You?” Xie Yi was intoxicated. Her cheeks were flushed. She tapped Zheng Ren lightly with her fingers and said, “You’ve already been delivered to me. You want to be the best surgeon. You can’t just go on and exorcise ghosts.”
Her fingers were soft and tender. Zheng Ren’s heart skipped a beat.
Xie Yiren chuckled softly and let go of Zheng Ren. Her feet were in front of her, her knees slightly bent.
Zheng Ren saw her strange posture. He did not know what she was going to do.
“Zheng Ren, this is my first time taking the bus.” Xie Yiren smiled and said, “I knew it. Standing behind the bus without holding onto the handrail is like stepping on a giant snowboard.”
As the bus jolted to a stop, Xie Yiren’s body swayed slightly.
Fortunately, it was the last bus. Only one passenger was sitting at the front, so Xie Yiren could have some fun.
“It’s like skiing in the Swiss Alps. Zheng Ren, it’s the exact same feeling!” Xie Yi lowered her voice as she said that, amusing herself in her excitement.
Looking at Xie Yiren, Zheng Ren felt that his heart was so happy. Perhaps, this was happiness.
The only unfortunate thing about this bus ride was that it did not go to Sea City General Hospital.
The further away from the front they sat, the crazier Xie Yiren became. She became tipsy and hugged Zheng Ren’s arm, feeling drowsy.
Xie Yiren was dressed in thin clothes. If they were sitting in the Volvo, the weather would not have mattered. However, this was the bus and the biting, cold wind was everywhere.
Zheng Ren was worried that Xie Yi would catch a cold, so he found a stop to get off and took a taxi back to the villa complex.
The security there was particularly strict. Private cars had access cards, so taxis could not enter.
At the gate, Zheng Ren carried Xie Yiren down. Seeing that her place was not far away, he carried Xie Yiren on his back and took her home.
It was very cold and the wind was strong, but his heart felt extremely hot.
Zheng Ren walked very slowly. He heard Xie Yiren’s slightly heavy breathing. There were wisps of Xie Yiren’s black hair on his temples, his nose filled with her refreshing fragrance.
If only he could continue walking like this forever.
The lights at Xie Yiren’s house were on. Zheng Ren hesitated for a few seconds. He did not want to carry Xie Yiren back to the villa he lived at. Instead, he went to Xie Yiren’s house.
Zheng Ren knocked on the door. Chu Yanran opened the door. She was staying at Xie Yiren’s house for the anesthesia preparation class tonight.
When the door opened, Chu Yanran saw Zheng Ren carrying Xie Yiren back. She was shocked at first, but then she smiled. She reached out her hand and gave him a thumbs up.
“Good job, Zheng Ren!”
