Absolutely Spoiled - Chapter 57.1

Chapter 57.1 -Tingyu x Luobai 3
After a few days in the hospital, Wen Bin began to feel anxious about the upcoming surgery. “I’m not sure if I can go home this time.”
Wen Bin hadn’t faced a surgery before, though he was lucky not to go through something like a surgery. For him, this was the first time, and facing the surgery room, the patient was truly afraid.
Although Wen Tingyu couldn’t say any comfort words, her presence in the past two days helped to improve Wen Bin’s mood a lot.
When Wen Tingyu took the empty lunchbox to the washbasin to give it a wash, the patients in the next beds all praised her.
“Your daughter is so good to you, filial and sensible.”
With pride, Wen Bin said, “Of course.”
“How old is your daughter this year? Is she dating someone?”
Wen Bin sprung to attention right away and asked, “Why are you asking these questions?”
The patient leaned half of his body out and lifted the curtain. “As I previously mentioned, I have a 25-year-old nephew who is tall and handsome and has a good personality. He has a secure career, and his family owns a house and a car…”
Wen Bin waved his hand and said, “My daughter hasn’t even graduated from college yet; what are you thinking about?”
“She should be over 20 years old and capable of falling in love even if she hasn’t completed her college education. Isn’t it popular among young people nowadays to fall in love and build relationships?” The patient tried hard to “sell” his nephew.
Wen Bin thought about it and shook his head.
Seeing that he was not very willing, his fellow patient sighed.
Wen Tingyu returned to the ward with the cleaned lunch box and said to her father, “Dad, I’m going out to eat.” She felt a little hungry.
Wen Bin nodded repeatedly while saying, “Go ahead.”
Wen Tingyu put the things in place before leaving.
Seeing the graceful figure of the young woman, the patient next bed was determined to introduce his nephew. He secretly called his relatives and asked his nephew to take time out to visit him in the hospital.
The hospital corridor had a faint smell of disinfectant, and Wen Tingyu habitually used the quick-drying disinfectant at the door of the ward.
After walking for a few steps, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of the nurse’s desk.
‘Wow! This was indeed a chance encounter.’
She waited until Shen Luobai finished talking with the nurse. When Shen Luobai turned around, their eyes met in the air.
“Doctor Shen, have you eaten?” Wen Tingyu boldly asked as she moved forward.
Shen Luobai gently responded, lowering his gaze a little as he placed the pen between his fingers in the pocket of his white coat. “I still have work.”
Like practicing physicians, interns must eat at different times due to their busyness. But she didn’t know if Shen Luobai said that because he was really busy or to avoid her.
She gave a small nod of comprehension and added, “I’ll wait for you.”
With a little tightening of his grip on the notebook, Shen Luobai continued, “No need.”
Wen Tingyu did not answer but just stood there waiting for him.
Shen Luobai returned to the room.
After returning from the cafeteria, another intern was getting ready to put on his white coat. When he spotted Shen Luobai, he reminded him, “Shen Luobai, go eat quickly.”
Shen Luobai gave a nod, took off his white coat hurriedly, hung it up on the door’s wall hook, and went out.
The intern looked back after putting on his white coat, and Shen Luobai was gone.”Did I take too long to eat today?” the intern muttered to himself as he glanced left and right. “Did I really trigger his hunger?” After giving it some thought, he grabbed his phone and looked at it. It was the regular time. ‘Even I have come a few minutes earlier than other days.’
The intern shook his head, took out a transparent bag from the drawer, put the phone in it, and put it in his white coat.
****
Wen Tingyu was unsure of the duration of her wait and whether the man would actually join her for a meal. She was really starting to get hungry. From the corner of her eye, she noticed someone approaching her as she lowered her head to look at her phone.
It’s him.
After putting aside her phone, Wen Tingyu asked, “Where are we going to eat?”
“Canteen,” said Shen Luobai subconsciously, but he regretted that decision instantly.
“Good.” She really wanted to be at the cafeteria.
The public was welcome to eat in the hospital cafeteria. Physicians could choose superior food at the same price as everyone else, and they were provided with staff lunches and meal cards.
Normally, Shen Luobai paid for staff meals with the meal card, but today he took Wen Tingyu and left right away.
Wen Tingyu abruptly grabbed his and stated, “I want to try your hospital’s staff meal. Will you treat me, Dr. Shen?”
“You’re not used to it.” Luobai Shen declined.
“I’ve eaten in the school cafeteria for many years, but I’ve never tried the hospital cafeteria.” Wen Tingyu held him and refused to let go.
Shen Luobai sighed softly and finally followed her choice.
’It turns out that the food in the hospital cafeteria is better than that in school.’
Selecting a vacant seat on the side, the two took a seat across from one another.
They remained silent the entire lunch.
“Shen Luobai, is there no one at your table?” A girl approached carrying a platter of food.
‘Oh, she actually knows him. Her identity could not be determined from her appearance, but judging from her tone, she might be an intern like Shen Luobai, or he might be a full-time doctor in the hospital.
Shen Luobai simply replied, “No one.”
Wen Tingyu made a sound and poked the plate when she was picking up food with chopsticks.
The girl chose to take a seat beside Shen Luobai.
When Wen Tingyu saw that, she appeared calm, but her jaws were clenched.
Shen Luobai immediately shifted from being across from her to being next to her at this point, pushing his plate in her direction.
It was this that startled the two girls.
Wen Tingyu was not very happy just now. After all, she had been pursuing the person for a long time but failed to catch him. Any person of the opposite sex around him could be a rival in love. But in this situation, she would not show it casually.
The other girl thought Wen Tingyu was just a passerby.
And when she realised what Shen Luobai did, it was like a slap in her face.
She understood why Shen Luobai did this. The girl asked tentatively, “Shen Luobai, is this your girlfriend?”
Shen Luobai replied in a very light voice, “No.”
Hearing this, Wen Tingyu sneered, took out a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, and confidently added. “Soon.”
Shen Luobai: “…”
Although silent, he did not refute.
Have a nice day!
