"Yeah." Tang Tang swallowed the rice in her mouth and said indistinctly, "So, shall we keep looking or what?"
She hadn't eaten much all afternoon and had done a lot of work. Now that she finally had some hot food, she ate rather quickly.
Although Tang Tang was extremely hungry, her eating manner was still quite gentle.
Zuo Mu felt sorry that Tang Tang hadn't eaten much all day. He only ate a little and then stopped.
Instead, he watched her eat. Tang Tang loved shrimp but was too lazy to peel them, so he picked up the shrimps one by one and started peeling.
Tang Tang was concentrating on stuffing white rice into her mouth when suddenly a tender, white shrimp was put into her rice bowl. She was so shocked that some rice hung on her lips. She looked up at Zuo Mu's face as he carefully peeled the shrimps. Suddenly, she felt her heart beating a little faster.
Zuo Mu was patiently struggling with the shrimp in his hand when suddenly the person opposite him seemed to stop moving and even seemed to be in a daze looking at him.
Zuo Mu stopped peeling the shrimp and looked up at Tang Tang.
Tang Tang blushed deeply and quickly lowered her head to continue eating.
Zuo Mu smiled silently and put the peeled shrimp into Tang Tang's bowl.
"Thank you, Brother Zuo Mu." Tang Tang blushed as she picked up the freshly peeled shrimp and stuffed it into her mouth in one go.
Chew, chew, chew.
Well, it was really sweet. It tasted much better than the ones she peeled herself.
Zuo Mu looked at Tang Tang lovingly and told her, "Eat more."
Tang Tang looked into Zuo Mu's eyes. The love in them was so overwhelming that she felt like she had drunk several jars of good wine. The atmosphere was almost intoxicating.
"Yesterday Once More..."
The melodious and long - lasting singing voice rang out, breaking the charming atmosphere between the two of them.
It was Zuo Mu's phone ringing.
Tang Tang knew that Zuo Mu liked this song very much. There was even an album CD of this female singer in his car.
Tang Tang watched as Zuo Mu answered the phone. It was probably the night - shift doctor encountering some problems and communicating with him.
Zuo Mu calmly gave instructions.
"Yes, the general condition of this patient is normal. If it can't be controlled well, try replacing it with xxx medicine."
"It's okay. Check the situation half an hour later. If it doesn't work, contact me again."
Zuo Mu was a doctor. Almost all his time was spent in the hospital.
Since his home was cold and empty, even if he had an afternoon or morning off, he didn't want to go back.
Now that there was a little follower, Zuo Mu's frequency of going home had obviously increased.
Just like now, if it were in the past, in most cases, when Zuo Mu didn't have a night shift, he would just take a nap in the lounge for an afternoon, and then the other doctors on the night shift wouldn't have to call to ask.
Tang Tang watched Zuo Mu in a semi - working state. He had sword - shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, his hair was neat, and there was a faint smell of cologne on him. There must be a lot of people chasing such a Zuo Mu. Thinking of this, Tang Tang suddenly felt a little jealous. Thinking that she would no longer be the exclusive passenger in Zuo Mu's front passenger seat in the future, a faint sense of discomfort welled up in her heart.
After giving all the relevant instructions, Zuo Mu hung up the phone. He noticed Tang Tang who had been staring at him and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
The restaurant seemed about to close.
Just then, the wind chime at the door suddenly rang.
Were there guests later than them? Tang Tang looked curiously towards the door.
She found that it was actually a little girl in her teens. The little girl looked very smart. She was wearing a little yellow hat just like the one worn by Maruko, and she was very cute.
However, nothing was as eye - catching as what she was carrying.
The little girl was carrying a basket with several roses in it.
Probably because it was too late, the petals of the roses were all wilted due to withering, and some of the petals had even turned black.
The little girl had been selling them outside all night but hadn't sold many. It was so late, so she decided to come into the restaurant to take a chance.
Probably because there were few people in the store, the store owner unexpectedly didn't drive her away.
The little girl looked around the restaurant. Seeing that there were almost no people, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly heard a cry.
"Are you selling roses?"
The voice was gentle and magnetic, like a clear spring flowing over pine trees and rocks.
The little girl was a little lost in it. She looked towards the direction of the voice and found a very good - looking big brother sitting in the corner, looking at her gently. There seemed to be a little sister opposite him. The little girl, who had endured a lot of cold words, felt her eyes getting hot. She stood on tiptoe and ran over quickly.
"Big brother, big sister, do you need roses?"
Tang Tang looked at this little one. If it weren't out of desperation, who would be willing to let their child suffer like this so late at night?
"How many are left? I'll take them all." Zuo Mu said as he took out his wallet.
The little girl looked at Zuo Mu. Suddenly, she blushed. She lowered her head and looked at her shabby clothes. A sense of embarrassment welled up.
Tang Tang seemed to notice and warmly greeted her, "Little sister, your hat is very nice. It suits you very well. You're super cute."
The little girl was then distracted. She touched her hat and proudly said, "It was a birthday present from my mom."
"Really?" Tang Tang smiled faintly, stroked the little girl's head and said, "You're amazing."
The little girl felt a little shy.
The big brother and the big sister were both very nice people. She didn't want to cheat them. She rolled her eyes, lowered her head and counted on her fingers, "The appearance of these roses is not very good, but they can still look good for a few days if you put them in a vase when you get home. And big sister is as beautiful as a rose. I sold them for eight yuan each before, but now I'll sell them for five yuan each. This is the purchase price."
"Moreover," the little girl secretly glanced at the two of them again and said, "Big brother and big sister look very well - matched."
"Y - you don't misunderstand." Tang Tang stammered and quickly waved her hand, "W - we're not in that kind of relationship."
Zuo Mu didn't say a word. He took out a pink bill and said, "I'll take them all."
The little girl looked at such a large - denomination bill and thought she had said something wrong.
But she had sold so many roses to couples. There was no reason. The two of them sitting together just looked very well - matched. It made her think of the phrase "a perfect match".
"It's okay. You don't need to give me the change." Seeing the little girl looking a little panicked, Zuo Mu showed a faint smile on his face. "I'll take your good word. Brother is still waiting for that moment."
"Ah!" The little girl's eyes immediately lit up.
"So, you can just take this money." Looking at the little girl who was looking for change, Zuo Mu calmly explained.
Maybe the big brother was still in the process of pursuing the big sister.
The little girl smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, big brother. I wish big brother and big sister will hold hands soon."
Then she put away the money, carefully wrapped the roses and gave them to Zuo Mu. She waved her hand and skipped out of the restaurant.
Tang Tang blushed deeply again.
"W - why did you say that?"
