My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 14

Chapter 14

"Yes, Head Nurse . "

"I told you to get me some surgical masks . Have you gone deaf?"

"Yes, I'll go get them now . "

"Mian, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind? Do you need to take the day off? I feel like you've been distracted all day," the new nurse, Huang Yue, asked with a hint of concern .

Exhausted, Huo Mian shook her head .

She had been listless this entire day . What was worse was that it wasn't even because of the cold-war situation with Ning Zhiyuan .

She had been thinking about the man that she shouldn't be thinking about .

Was he really back? What happened last night wasn't a dream, was it?

Her daze lasted until her shift ended . Huo Mian changed from her white nurse's uniform into a pastel-blue dress . Grabbing her bag, she walked out .

She was just in time to catch sight of Ning Zhiyuan's white Chevrolet, which was parked outside of the front entrance .

He had just bought it last month . Since they were planning on getting married, Ning Zhiyuan's parents had helped pay for the car . This, along with their own salaries, summed up to over a hundred thousand Yuan . It was a pretty good-looking ride .

The license plate read 0510, which was Ning Zhiyuan's birthday . It was him for sure .

Did he stop here to wait for her?

Just as Huo Mian was about to walk over and ask, she saw He Man, who was wearing a miniskirt . She sprinted over to the car and, after quickly opening the door, hopped onto the passenger seat .

Then, the car sped off . . .

Light drained from Huo Mian's eyes, bit by bit . She unhurriedly pulled out her cell phone and made a call .

"What is it?" On the other end, Ning Zhiyuan sounded annoyed .

"Is your shift over? I need a ride home . "
 
"Not yet . I have another surgery . I'll be working overtime so you can go home first . Don't call me for no reason . Bye . "

With that, Ning Zhiyuan hung up the phone .

Huo Mian smiled wryly; she knew why Ning Zhiyuan was lying . He was trying to get revenge on her .

However, what he did was just low .

Huo Mian suddenly got the feeling that the ordinary man she had dated for three years was no longer ordinary .

She looked up at the sky . It was grey, just like her mood .

Then, Zhu Lingling called . . .

"Mian, are you off work now?"

"Yeah . "

"Come to my place, I'm off today and made something yummy for you . It's marinated pork trotters!"

"That's good, I happen to be hungry too . Wait for me . " Hanging up, Huo Mian flagged down a cab and headed towards Zhu Lingling's home .

Zhu Lingling's parents lived by the city outskirts . To make her commute to work easier, she had rented a cozy little place near the airport .

Whenever she had the time, Huo Mian would go over to mooch off her food . It seemed that, aside from home and the hospital, that was the only place she could go .

Setting the pork trotters on the table, Zhu Lingling began rambling off before Huo Mian even had the chance to eat . She was asking about what happened yesterday .

Unable to bear the bombardment, Huo Mian recounted the events for her in a relatively detailed fashion…

Of course, she kept some of the more provocative details, such as the forced kiss, to herself, only brushing over them .

"That's what happened . You're welcome to comment, Miss Zhu Lingling . "

Huo Mian stared at Zhu Lingling with pursed lips and big wet doe-eyes . It was a cute look .

"Gosh, that's intense . So, what you're saying is Mr . Blueblood Qin Chu proposed to you yesterday?" Zhu Lingling stared back at her with a look of surprise .

"Girl, please . That's not the issue here . The issue is that Zhiyuan doesn't trust me anymore and wants to break up . . . " Huo Mian complained .

"Mian, tell me the truth . Do you still love Qin Chu?" Zhu Lingling asked, dead serious .

Huo Mian froze upon hearing this question . . .
