You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 133

Liu Yan was waving and shouting at Bai Rong as soon as she stepped outside, “Rong! Rong! My Rong!”

Bai Rong smiled as well when she saw Liu Yan.

It had been six months since they last saw each other, and Liu Yan was still as lively and cheerful as ever.

She walked towards Liu Yan who then took over her luggage and placed it in the trunk of her car. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Rong, it’s been so long! You’ve gotten prettier!”

“Being with you is like being fed with honey everyday. You’re as sweet as ever! And have gotten prettier too!” They gave each other a hug.

“Then why did you leave this place for Jinyang City?” Liu Yan sighed.

The look in Bai Rong’s eyes went cold, “Sometimes you need to work hard for something in order to realize that you’re not suitable for it.”

Liu Yan laughed, “Thanks for comforting me. You should stay the night at my place! It’s been so long since we’ve spent time together!”

“Alright.” Bai Rong got into the car and fastened her seat belt as she looked out the window.

A City hadn’t changed much.

“That was so mean of you, not contacting me ever since you left the hospital like that. I was so sad and thought I didn’t have friends anymore.” Liu Yan said in a childish tone.

“You’re my only best friend. I was just too busy to contact you, that’s all.” Bai Rong consoled her.

“When are you being assigned back here again? I’ve missed you so much! Don’t go back to Jinyang City after New Year!”

Gu Mingchen was going to take over the job at Jinyang City. Even if he wasn’t, he would have sent someone more capable than her to do so anyway.

There was indeed no need for her to return there anymore.

Bai Rong leaned against the window as she looked at Liu Yan, “We’ll see. How about you? Have you gotten a boyfriend yet?”

“Sigh, I have joined the military base in hopes of finding a boyfriend. But a fierce woman there keeps ordering me around all day every day. I didn’t see any handsome military officers either. Isn’t it supposed to be the Special Forces military base? There should be plenty of handsome soldiers!” Liu Yan sighed.

Bai Rong laughed, “Shen Yiyan is quite handsome.”

“Don’t even start. That man is handsome but he’s an idiot.” Liu Yan rejected Shen Yiyan immediately.

“So, it seems that Yan is one who seeks inner beauty.”

“And for that, I’d need to have a chance to see their inner beauty first! It’s very strict in the military base, and a lot of areas are restricted unless you have permission to enter. All the military officers are mostly busy with work, so I only get to interact with the low-ranking ones at the moment. On top of that, I don’t even have much chance to socialize with those low-ranking officers. The hierarchy there is very clear- cut. For example, it’s incredibly difficult for me to meet Gu Mingchen even though we are both in the same base, let alone the highest-ranking officers.” Liu Yan complained.

“Fate cannot be forced.” Bai Rong said casually.

Liu Yan stared at Bai Rong and wanted to ask her about Gu Mingchen; but seeing that her friend didn’t want to talk about him, she held her tongue.

Soon after, Liu Yan brought Bai Rong to a newly-opened restaurant.

“This is now a well-known restaurant. It’s the only Michelin 3-star restaurant in A City, and usually requires us to make a reservation about two weeks in advance in order to get a table.” Liu Yan introduced as she got out of the car.

“So, it seems you are someone ‘unusual’ then.” Bai Rong quipped.

“No, I actually made a reservation two weeks ago and was planning to come eat alone, but you happened to come back at the same time. What a coincidence, eh?”

Bai Rong let out a slight smile.

It was very crowded inside the restaurant, and there were a lot of people queueing up outside the entrance.

Business was really good.

Liu Yan told the waiter the last few digits of her mobile number, and followed the waiter to her table.

Bai Rong picked up the menu and they both ordered about a dozen dishes from it.

“That’s quite a lot. Is anyone else coming?” Bai Rong asked out of curiosity.

“No, I’ve been eating in the military base cafeteria every day. Now that I’ve gotten a chance to come out, I want to enjoy all the good food I can get! By the way, I joined the army because I thought it’s easy work, but I was wrong! Although there aren’t any surgeries to perform, there are lots of minor injuries to treat. They would often carry out training late at night, and I’m always on the night shift, so I would often

get a lot of wounded soldiers. More importantly, I have to take a lot of tests! On top of that, I heard that doctors have to accompany them when they go on missions! I have this feeling that I’ve doomed myself.” Liu Yan was depressed.

“Don’t worry, they’ll only look for highly-skilled doctors to accompany them on missions. They won’t have you slow them down.” Bai Rong kept a straight face as she said that jokingly.

“I think so too. That Su Wanning has been training hard every day together with the soldiers, while I am enjoying the air-conditioning in the infirmary.”

Liu Yan was a talkative person and her topics went from her life at the military base to her previous colleagues at the hospital, and finally to her university life.

“Have you found a boyfriend in Jinyang City?” Liu Yan asked curiously.

Bai Rong shook her head, “After experiencing the best, I will not put up with any less as doing so would only bring harm to others. I will live alone instead. Perhaps this is the best outcome for me.”

Liu Yan held Bai Rong’s hand as she consoled her, “Rong, you’re such an excellent person with great academic achievements, high intelligence, beautiful face, amazing figure, gentle personality, skills in housework and you care about others. A goddess like yourself will definitely find the best man for you.”

“You’re inflating my ego now. Why haven’t I noticed all those things about me?” Bai Rong tapped Liu Yan on the nose.

“I’m so happy to see you today! Let’s have a drink, shall we?” Liu Yan said in a childish voice.

“Alright, it’s my treat tonight.”

“No way, you think I don’t know how poor you are? Waiter!” Liu Yan shouted.

“I’ve made quite a lot of money working as a prosecutor in Jinyang City as I was specially assigned from A City to inspect them. I’ve even gotten a year-end bonus of a hundred thousand! My accomodation over there is the presidential suite at a six-star hotel, by the way.” Bai Rong explained.

“A presidential suite, eh? That’s nice. I live in the military dormitory and sleep in a bunk bed with others. I don’t even make a hundred thousand in six months. I think I want to be a prosecutor like you now.” Liu Yan scratched her head as she felt even more depressed now.

“Your misfortune might just be a blessing in disguise. You would only know what it is like after you do it. Don’t regret it, try to adapt and improvise instead!” Bai Rong said.

“Right, I’ll apply to the CCDI as soon as possible! I still prefer working with you. We’ll do everything together!” Liu Yan gripped Bai Rong’s hand tightly.

Bai Rong let out a smile.

Her smile was beautiful and put others at ease, yet carried an unspeakable sadness within.

“You again? You’re eating here too?” A man’s voice was heard.

Bai Rong looked to her side and saw that it was the man from the train, Mu Xiaosheng.

“This is the second time we’ve met today. Talk about fate, huh?” Mu Xiaosheng smiled.

“Fate isn’t always a good thing.” Bai Rong shot back.

“And it isn’t always a bad thing either. For example, I discovered a secret about the man who was with you after you got off the train.”
