Chapter 182 Su Jingsi Calls
When Xu Lingfeng and Ouyang Mengmian were having lunch together, Ouyang Mengmian's cell phone on the table suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and found that it was Su Jingsi calling.
Seeing Su Jingsi's number, Ouyang Mengmian immediately remembered that Su Jingsi's wound had reopened because of her, and she was worried. She was afraid that Su Jingsi might have another problem at this time, so she hurriedly pressed the answer button.
"Hello? You are calling me now. Is there something wrong?" Ouyang Mengmian's voice revealed a hint of anxiety.
Su Jingsi's low voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mengmian, I...I feel a little uncomfortable."
Ouyang Mengmian's heart immediately hung in the air: "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
"No... no need, you should accompany... Mr. Xu for dinner. If... it is convenient, can you help me order lunch? I... am a little hungry..." Su Jingsi's tone was a little weak and inexplicably nostalgic, which made Ouyang Mengmian suddenly feel extremely guilty - she and Xu Lingfeng were enjoying delicious food here, but they forgot about Su Jingsi, a patient.
But in fact, Ouyang Mengmian had always been thinking about ordering food for Su Jingsi, but because she had just woken up and saw Xu Lingfeng for the first time, she inadvertently forgot about it.
Hearing Su Jingsi's words, she suddenly felt apologetic and said softly, "I'm sorry, I forgot for a moment. I'll give you some right away, just wait a moment..."
"Well, thank you, Mengmian." Su Jingsi replied in a soft voice.
After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Mengmian immediately opened the mobile phone ordering app, found a restaurant with good ratings, selected light but delicious food and placed an order. After ordering the food, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Who knew that she had just raised her head when she bumped into Xu Lingfeng's inquiring eyes. There seemed to be countless questions hidden in his eyes, but he did not ask immediately, but quietly observed Ouyang Mengmian, waiting for her to take the initiative to speak.
"A friend called." Ouyang Mengmian spoke softly, as if explaining, or as if talking to himself, "He was not feeling well, and asked me to order lunch for him."
Ouyang Mengmian didn't want Xu Lingfeng to know that she was harassed in the bar. She didn't want him to worry about her, and she didn't want him to know that she had met Li Xin. That's why she concealed from Xu Lingfeng that Su Jingsi was injured because of her and that she lived in Su Jingsi's house to take care of him.
After hearing Ouyang Mengmian's explanation, Xu Lingfeng nodded and said nothing, but in his heart he was silently analyzing the information he had just heard.
Xu Lingfeng knew that Ouyang Mengmian had been in City A for two years. He had been to City A so many times, but he had never heard Ouyang Mengmian talk about her close friends. However, this time, there was suddenly someone so close to Ouyang Mengmian that she even needed Ouyang Mengmian to order food for her personally.
He couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity about this person. More importantly, he wanted to determine the other person's gender and purpose of appearing next to Ouyang Mengmian, so as to avoid the appearance of people and things like Li Xin around Ouyang Mengmian again.
Xu Lingfeng watched Ouyang Mengmian take a bite of the taro meatball, and then he said casually, "Is it your friend? Since he is not feeling well, how can we just eat? Why don't we take him to the hospital after we finish eating?"
Ouyang Mengmian couldn't help but feel a little flustered after hearing what Xu Lingfeng said. She knew that Xu Lingfeng was concerned about her, but the situation she was facing and Su Jingsi's situation were not that complicated, and did not require Xu Lingfeng's intervention.
She didn't want to cause trouble to Xu Lingfeng because of her personal affairs, and she didn't want him to be involved in her current life. Since she had no interest in him, she shouldn't let him get too involved in her affairs. Ouyang Mengmian had always known this and had always insisted on it.
Ouyang Mengmian gently put down her chopsticks, turned her head slightly to look at Xu Lingfeng, a smile of apology and gratitude on her face.
Her voice was gentle but firm, as if she was trying to suppress some emotion in her heart: "Xu Lingfeng, thank you for your concern. But don't worry, my friend is just suffering from a minor illness. He has already taken medicine and now he just needs to rest and eat something. I have just ordered a meal for him and it should be delivered soon. So let's not think about these things anymore and just enjoy this delicious meal peacefully!"
Ouyang Mengmian's words made Xu Lingfeng's expression suddenly startled. He had never expected Ouyang Mengmian to say this, and an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart. For some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He was already full of endless curiosity... and hostility towards the person who could make Ouyang Mengmian so concerned and even personally order food for him.
However, reason told him that since Ouyang Mengmian was unwilling to say more, he should not continue to ask. He knew that everyone had their own privacy and areas that they did not want to be touched, and forced interference would only make both parties embarrassed.
However, the gradually heavy feeling followed him like a shadow, and could not be erased from his heart no matter what. He stared at Ouyang Mengmian silently, trying to find some answers from her eyes, but her eyes were always as calm as water, making it impossible to see through her true thoughts.
Under Ouyang Mengmian's calm and determined gaze, Xu Lingfeng finally nodded slightly, and his face returned to his usual gentle smile, as if the uneasiness just now was just a brief episode.
