Chapter 52 - Surprise
Translator: MiraiSaesang
That night, Chen Ruo Yu slept particularly well.
The next morning, she couldn't help but send a text message to Meng Gu while on the bus. ~Good morning, a new day begins. Dr. Meng, liven up and work hard to help the dying and heal the sick.~
The text message was sent and there was no reply received from Meng Gu. Chen Ruo Yu did not mind, looking at the time, Meng Gu should be in making rounds in the ward. She couldn't help but smile when she thought of him wearing his white coat.
The bus ride was a bit boring, she had seen enough of the streets and the crowd on the bus weren't interesting. Chen Ruo Yu looked around for a bit, and then brought out a small book that she had with her. She recorded yesterday's date and wrote: Tyrannosaurus messed up his words, not as astute as before - there is a change.
En, she looked at it and felt satisfied. The lightest written words are better than memory, it is still better to write these down.
Thinking about it, she remembered: Ended the call without saying goodbye, rude - no change.
At that time, she received a reply from Meng Gu, ~Is this striking up a conversation, Miss?~
Chen Ruo Yu smiled, could not think of what to say and so did not reply.
After a while, Meng Gu sent another text message, ~Do you want to ask me out? It's not so easy to get an appointment with me.~
Chen Ruo Yu laughed and thought about it and added another one to the book. Still arrogant and self-important - No change.
She looked at it again and added today's date in front of this.
She thought about it, and in fact, she should arrange a date, so that more can be observed on contact, and she needs to talk to him about the matter between them and their future.
After sitting down for a while, she finally arrived at her destination. As she got off the bus, she heard her text message tone ring out. It was also from Meng Gu, it said, ~Such great character, Not replying me now? You're taking the imposing route today, huh? Are you going to ignore me after work too?~
Chen Ruo Yu laughed and thought for a while about what to reply, she typed in ~Young man, work hard.~ and hit the send button, but soon regretted it. She should have taken care to note her expression and tone, otherwise her serious demeanor and tone in her mind, she wasn't sure whether it could be sent through to his mind with that sentence.
If he doesn't get it, then it would not amusing.
Ah, the more she thought about it, the more ineffective the remark seemed. Chen Ruo Yu bit her lip and was annoyed.
Meng Gu did not reply to the text message. Chen Ruo Yu went to work, still thinking about what other things she can tease him about. She sat down and dropped her bag, poured herself a glass of water, turned on her computer and had not yet delved into work, when she heard her phone's text message notification rang again.
She quickly picked it up and checked it, he wrote: ~I should be able to get off work early today.~
Chen Ruo Yu grinned and thought about her schedule for the day. Well, actually it would be okay to go to the two stores she planned for today, tomorrow. She really hasn't seen Mr. Peach blossom forest for a long time.
She calmed down and thought but could not come up with any wonderful words, so simply replied, ~Me too.~
Should she have clearly and loftily expressed her meaning, right?
Throughout the whole day, Chen Ruo Yu was somewhat distracted and her work was not efficient. From time to time, she glanced at her phone, Meng Gu did not send her a text message again, nor did he call. However, Chen Ruo Yu felt that they set up a date for this evening. She was a little happy, somewhat anxious and excited.She was looking forward to getting off work soon.
Thinking on it again, should she go home and change clothes?
In the end, she decided not to do anything. Anyway, she looks like this anyway, clothes can only add on a bit of beauty. She still will not be as beautiful as Qi Yao or Nurse Tian.
If she wants to go steady in a relationship with him, then it is best to have him adapt to her level of beauty.
Chen Ruo Yu got off work in the afternoon, she couldn't sit still. She lied to her manager that she had a client to meet in the afternoon and left the company early. She was a little excited and was blushing. She jumped on the bus and went straight to the hospital. If Meng Gu got off work and saw her waiting for him downstairs, he would be startled, right?
She imagined his expression and felt even more spirited.
Chen Ruo Yu arrived at the hospital and ran to the lobby on the first floor of the surgical department. She looked at her watch and it was 2 minutes to 6 pm. Meng Gu was about to get off work soon.
She relaxed and was glad that she was just in time.
Chen Ruo Yu waited for a while and realized that she could only see one side of the elevator doors, what if he exited on the opposite door?
So she switched to a position to one where she could see both sides of the doors, but she farther one she still couldn't see it, so she had to keep stretching her neck.
Chen Ruo Yu was stretching her neck, when she suddenly saw Nurse Tian and two other familiar nurses. She sharply jerked back, her neck hurt and sucked in her breath.
At this time the building is most crowded, people are coming and going, staff switching shifts, visiting families, patients coming down, patient's families coming to deliver food...The front of the elevator is crowded with people.
After the wave of people left, Chen Ruo Yu still did not see Meng Gu's figure. She was somewhat worried that she had missed him. She waited and waited and finally planned to call him. As she just pulled out her phone, it rang.
It was Meng Gu calling.
"Chen Ruo Yu, have you got off work?"
"Have you got off work?"
The two asked in unison.
"Yes. What about you? Are you on your way home?" Meng Gu answered first.
"Are you coming down?" Chen Ruo Yu did not answer.
"Coming down?" Meng Gu's tone sounded a bit confused, then he asked, "Are you at the hospital?"
"No, no. I was just casually asking." Chen Ruo Yu subconsciously shrank back, she still wants to surprise him.
"When will you get home?" He didn't continue to pursue it, but it sounded like he wanted to go on a date with her, could this be considered a meeting of the minds? She was a little happy.
"I won't be home for a while." She covertly laughed, and simply stood up and looked at both doors of the elevator, "When you get off work, hurry home and rest." She said that on purpose with the hope of shocking him.
"Okay, then you have to also hurry home and rest." He unexpectedly followed her words.
"Bye then." Chen Ruo Yu spat out and happily hung up the phone first. He should be coming down soon, she is a little excited.
The two doors of the elevator went up and down, the doors opened and closed, and Meng Gu's trace could still not be seen. Chen Ruo Yu suspiciously frowned, what is this guy doing? Why is he still upstairs, not coming down?She was debating calling him, when Meng Gu called again.
"Are you downstairs at the hospital?"
"Ah?" Was she discovered? Chen Ruo Yu looked around, "Did you see me? But where are you? How come I haven't seen you?"
"You idiot."
"You're the idiot." She was doubtful, and she turned around but could not see him, "Where are you hiding?"
"Ai!" Meng Gu heavily sighed over the phone, "I am downstairs at your apartment."
"Ah?" Chen Ruo Yu was dumbfounded.
"You idiot, I just asked you, why did you lie that you are not at the hospital? If I didn't think something was off and call you back, how long would we have waited for each other?"
"What are doing downstairs at my apartment? And you didn't say you were there either!"
"Did you ask?" Meng Gu sounded very annoyed, "I asked you when you were getting home, you said it will be a while, and I followed your words and said for you to go home soon, where am I wrong?"
"Then where am I wrong for waiting for you here? When I arrived, it was obviously two minutes before you get off work. How come you disappeared so quickly?"
"Nothing was going on, so I left early."
"Why did you leave early? I deliberately left work early to wait for you, I wanted to surprise you!"
"Me too!" Meng Gu's voice was vigorous, Chen Ruo Yu suddenly blushed.
He did too! She was so happy!
"That, that..." So they had both missed each other?
"That's what is idiotic, you wait there! Don't run around anymore!" Meng Gu finished the conversation and hung up.
Chen Ruo Yu received a good phone call and couldn't help but laugh for a while, she was so happy, really happy, even though she was scolded, she was still happy.
Although she knew that Meng Gu would not arrive for a while, she ran to the hospital entrance. At this time, it was peak period as people were getting off work, there was a lot of traffic on the road. She looked at the cars on the road and thought that he would take a long time to arrive.
But she didn't feel hurried, she was in a good mood. So she began to sing.
"If not because of loving you, how can I stay downstairs waiting for you?
After waiting for a long time, I miss you, miss you, want to see you.
If not because of loving you, how can I get off work to come to pick you up?
The cars on the road are very much. I miss you, miss you, want to see you.
Love is something that torments people. An accident arising from many causes of good and bad.
Driving, driving, don't worry, thinking of you in my heart."
She changed the lyrics of Karen Mok's song, "Love" to a mess to suit their situation and happily sang it. But after singing it again and again, she suddenly felt that her talent was simply overflowing.
This is also Meng Gu's state of mind ah! So she helped Meng Gu compose to compose a love song too!
As she thought about it, she quickly wrote down the lyrics and she decided to teach Meng Gu to sing this song, sing her this version to show his sincerity towards her.
She looked at the lyrics again and then sang it again. Good, it's very smooth and very consistent with Meng Gu's current mood. She was so happy that she snickered and then heard the sound of the car horn.
She looked up and saw Meng Gu.
Chen Ruo Yu happily flew over, opened the door and sat in, the actions were completed swiftly and smoothly in glee. Meng gu suspiciously looked at her, "What happened?"
"A good thing!"
"How come I have an ominous feeling?"
"Who knows?" Chen Ruo Yu shrugged.
Meng Gu stared at her and after looking at her for a long time, asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"If I can have a durian all you can buffet then I will be extremely happy!"
Meng Gu did not say anything and just gave her a 'what are you trying to do?' look. CHen Ruo Yu cook head and thought up another proposal, "How about that small restaurant you took me to last night, where they sell ramen and sake?"
She thinks that this is the place where her relationship with him made an important turning point. It was also the first time the first they enjoyed each other's company. It is very memorable, so today's official first date should be there again.
And, the most important point is that she needs to drink a little sake to be brave enough to teach him to sing the love song, "I want to see Chen Ruo Yu."
MiraiSaesang's Notes: LOL these two lovesick fools ??...Do you guys think he's really going to sing? Maybe if she got him drunk enough ??....
