59: C59 Mao Dou Restaurant

C59 Mao Dou Restaurant

When his figure disappeared around the corner, Dr. Lu stopped in his tracks.

He adjusted his angle and hid behind Su Xiaoxiao's blind spot, secretly observing her actions.

Su Xiaoxiao watched Dr. Lu go upstairs with her eyes and carefully laid the painting of the two on the coffee table.

She seemed to be in a good mood. She unfolded a new piece of paper, dipped it in ink, and started to draw seriously.

After observing for a while, Dr. Lu withdrew his gaze.

He came to Qi Jincheng's place.

After knocking on the door, the two of them sat opposite each other in the room.

"How is it?"

Qi Jincheng observed Dr. Lu's expression for a long time before asking in a low voice.

Dr. Lu thought for a while and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked a question in his heart.

"You told me that Miss Su did not know you for long. When you first met, did she also be cautious and alert?"

Qi Jincheng tilted his head and thought for a moment and shook his head lightly.

"No. At that time, she thought we were playing a game and asked to join us."

"In other words, she has never been vigilant and distant towards you?"

Qi Jincheng nodded.

He was cold by nature and did not like to interact with others. If Su Xiaoxiao had not pestered him several times and touched his heart many times, he would not have taken the initiative to treat a person well.

Dr. Lu also understood Qi Jincheng's temper.

After pondering for a moment, he threw out another question.

"Then what do you think is the reason why she is not cautious of you, but relies on you on her own initiative?"

Dr. Lu thought that Qi Jincheng and Su Xiaoxiao had the most contact, so he should know a little about her.

"Because she is the auntie and you are Xiaoxiao's husband."

"Mom told Xiaoxiao that husband will always be good to Xiaoxiao, except for mother who loves Xiaoxiao the most."

"He is Xiaoxiao's family."

Suddenly, such words resounded in Qi Jincheng's mind.

Along with these words, there was also the desolate look in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes at that time.

He took a deep breath and cast aside the strange emotions that had appeared in his heart.

"In her heart, I am her husband and her family."

After hearing Qi Jincheng's words, Dr. Lu had a clear understanding of the situation.

"That makes sense."

Dr. Lu crossed his arms in front of him and leaned forward. This was the usual posture he used when he was thinking.

"Before you appeared, there was someone who taught her that you were her husband. She thought that you were the closest person to her and would not hurt her. That was why she took the initiative to get close to you."

" In the future, when she makes a decision, she will even take the initiative to ask for your opinion. Perhaps in her eyes, you were more like a parent."

Dr. Lu did not notice that when he heard these words, Qi Jincheng's expression changed slightly.

A parent?

If that was the case, then after she got drunk, she took the initiative to kiss him and flirted with him. Was she also treating him as a parent?

No...

He rejected this analysis in his heart, but for some reason, he did not say it out loud.

"What is the reason for this kind of mentality?"

Qi Jincheng asked.

Dr. Lu thought for a while, but did not give a definite answer. "Now I have little contact with Miss Su, and I do not know much about her past and living environment. However, in many cases, there are many reasons for this illness."

"For example, she had been stimulated by something beyond her tolerance range. For example, she had been in an abnormal environment for a long time, and she had created a type of self-protection. For example, she had escaped from herself. When she was five or six years old, she could not feel happiness."

Self-escaping...

"What is the probability of curing this illness?"

Qi Jincheng subconsciously stroked his hair. Dr. Lu had seen his actions, but he did not say anything.

"It is hard to say, but I will try my best."

Dr. Lu stood up and looked at Qi Jincheng. "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I will not accompany you. Tomorrow is still the same time, I will come over."

In his view, Su Xiaoxiao's illness was not a small challenge.

He was even curious. When Su Xiaoxiao recovered to normal, would she still be so dependent on Qi Jincheng after she truly understood him?

When Dr. Lu went downstairs, Su Xiaoxiao had already finished drawing a painting quickly. However, on the painting paper, without exception, there were butterflies, cats and other small animals that she was familiar with.

Su Xiaoxiao liked Dr. Lu very much, so she took the initiative to follow him to the entrance and watched him leave.

It was just that she never stepped out of that threshold. It was like the long line in her heart forever separated her from others.

Qi Jincheng stood on the escalator and looked at Su Xiaoxiao's cautious posture from behind.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was carefully hiding behind the door and quietly sticking out her little head to watch Dr. Lu leave. His heart suddenly hurt.

If it was really because she had suffered unbearable stimuli in the past, she would be willing to stop thinking about her childhood.

Then what exactly had Su Xiaoxiao experienced in her childhood?

When Dr. Lu left, Su Xiaoxiao looked back. She was originally a little disappointed, but when she saw Qi Jincheng, she immediately smiled.

She jumped and ran towards Qi Jincheng, holding his big hand and shaking it left and right.

"Beautiful brother, Dr. Lu just told Xiaoxiao that there is a very delicious western restaurant."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao carefully observed Qi Jincheng.

She had just started to have an improvement in her cold. Doctor Zhang instructed that even though there was no need for infusion, the medicine still needed to be eaten for a few more days.

She just did not know if Qi Jincheng was willing to take her out for a meal.1

If she did not go...

"Which house?"

Unusual, Qi Jincheng asked Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao originally thought that Qi Jincheng would refuse, but the light in her eyes had dimmed. She looked up at him in surprise.

Perhaps because she was too excited, she immediately jumped up.

But when she thought of the restaurant's name, she subconsciously bit her finger.

Su Xiaoxiao's big eyes rolled around as she seriously thought about it.

Time slowly passed. Qi Jincheng patiently waited on the escalator.

He was observing Su Xiaoxiao.

After a long time, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have thought of something. She pointed her index finger in the air and said happily, "Xiaoxiao remembered! That restaurant is called Mao Dou Restaurant!"

Qi Jincheng,... ""

He could be considered a native of Binhai.

He had heard a little about the restaurants in the west, especially those that were very unique. He would often visit them.

However, he had never heard of a restaurant called Mao Dou.

Seeing Qi Jincheng's puzzled expression, Qi Bei, who was standing at the side, coughed lightly and reminded him in a low voice.

"Young Master, Young Madam might be talking about Edamame."

As a butler, Qi Dong often dealt with some difficult matters. Thus, through Su Xiaoxiao's homophone, he immediately thought of this.

Edamame was one of the famous western restaurants in Binhai, especially the small pastries, which was a special feature.

From the beginning to the end, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qi Jincheng with a silly smile. She did not realize how much damage her bean restaurant had caused him.
