Chapter 971: Celebration
Chapter 971: Celebration
"Why do you need to eat when you're fine?"
"Didn't Zhang Kaifeng just get out of the hospital? I want to celebrate for him. It's been a while since we've gotten together, so let's have a meal together."
"That's a good idea," Xiao Kui nodded. "Everyone's been very nervous after what happened a while ago. It's time to relax a bit. Sister Yu Wei, you definitely can't handle so much by yourself. Why didn't you ask me for help before?"
"I saw that you were all busy, and I was the only one free, so I prepared it by myself. Besides, I didn't expect that having a meal would be so troublesome."
As Yu Wei spoke, she was inwardly impressed by Lin Yuqing's ability. Every time she saw her preparing a banquet for guests, she seemed so relaxed, and everything was ready in no more than three days. But when it was her turn, five days had already passed, and she was still like an ant on the hot pan.
However, it is always a good thing to have someone to help, so Yu Wei discussed with Xiao Kui and assigned the remaining tasks.
Although Yu Wei felt that she was clumsy, Xiao Kui looked at the schedule that Yu Wei had completed and praised her sincerely: "Sister Yu Wei, you are really amazing. You have accomplished so many things by yourself."
"Actually, I met a great person this time who helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would still be searching all over the streets for a suitable chef."
After hearing Yu Wei's words, Xiao Kui didn't think much about it, but asked, "What else do you need me to do now?"
"Hmm...help me find a suitable place in the clinic, preferably open air, big enough for two tables."
"Ok."
After receiving the mission, Xiao Kui left excitedly. With an ally, Yu Wei felt a lot more relaxed. Once someone relaxes, their appetite also increases. Yu Wei, who had no appetite for fruit just now, was now hungry.
There was no other way. The body was the capital of the revolution, and only when one was well fed could one continue to work. So Yu Wei decided to give herself a break and have a good meal.
But it was this sudden decision that made Yu Wei meet Si Wen again.
Sitting by the window, Yu Wei was munching on a hamburger without much ceremony. Suddenly, she saw a young man walk in from the doorway. Yu Wei recognized him immediately and quickly reached out and called out, "Si Wen!"
The moment he saw Yu Wei, Si Wen seemed stunned. After a moment of recollection, he walked over to Yu Wei with a smile and said, "What a coincidence."
"That's right. I've been so busy these past few days that I only came out to eat today. I didn't expect to run into you."
Looking at Si Wen's sketchbook, Yu Wei asked, "Are you sketching?"
"Well, I went to the mountains to sketch with some new friends today. I didn't expect to run into you just when I got back."
"This is fate." Yu Wei smiled and asked Si Wen to place the order while she helped him watch the food.
Si Wen's backpack was huge, and Yu Wei was worried that it would block other people's way, so she pushed the backpack inwards. But unexpectedly, a scroll fell out of it.
Yu Wei stuck out her tongue and hurriedly bent down to pick up the scroll, trying to put it back into her backpack. However, she accidentally left her oily fingerprints on the paper, and couldn't help but cry out "Oops!"
Just then, Si Wen came back with a tray, sat in front of Yu Wei and smiled at her.
Looking at Si Wen with self-blame, Yu Wei placed the painting on the table and said, "I'm sorry. I was trying to help you pick up the painting, but I accidentally stained it with oil. How about I compensate you with a painting?"
Yu Wei thought that Mark must have a lot of paintings, so she could just pick one to compensate Si Wen.
But Si Wen smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's just a portrait sketch, it's unimportant. Besides, I'm not very satisfied with this work because I haven't found a suitable model yet."
At this point, Si Wen suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He looked up at Yu Wei, who was confused, and said, "If you really want to compensate me, then be my model!"
"Me?" Yu Wei pointed at herself in disbelief, then waved her hands and said, "Forget it. Last time, I asked a little kid to draw my portrait, and I almost went crazy. I can't sit still."
"Is that so?" Si Wen seemed disappointed. He took a sip of his drink and said, "Then I'll look for a model after I'm cured. Unfortunately, it's really hard to find a suitable model. I don't know when I'll find one. And even if I do find one, they might still reject me."
Hearing Si Wen's mumbling, Yu Wei felt even more embarrassed.
I think about how much help he has given me, but I don't even agree to be his model. This seems a bit unreasonable.
There was no choice but Yu Wei had to agree. The two of them agreed to meet here at this time tomorrow, and then find a studio to solve Si Wen's sketching problem.
Although this would waste half a day, Yu Wei felt relieved because she no longer owed Si Wen a favor.
Later, Yu Wei and Si Wen chatted about all sorts of things. They found that they had similar hobbies and before they knew it, they were chatting until very late.
When Yu Wei returned to the clinic, it was already dark. She hurried back to the door of her room. Just as she was about to go in, she saw Lin Yuqing wearing a coat and standing at the door calling Yu Wei.
"Mark just called you and said he couldn't get through to your cell phone."
Yu Wei hurriedly took it out to check, raised her phone and shook it, saying, "I wonder when it ran out of battery."
"Really? If the power is out, come back earlier. Look how worried Mark is." Lin Yuqing shook her head and said.
"Oh, you said it as if I could lose it."
Seeing Yu Wei's tired face, Lin Yuqing asked, "What have you been secretly busy with these past few days? Are you planning your own wedding and wanting to get married?"
Yu Wei snorted, rolled her eyes at Lin Yuqing, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just helping you."
"Help me?" Lin Yuqing asked, puzzled, "How come I don't know what I need your help with?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Yu Wei smiled mysteriously, then said, "By the way, I've been running into a boy recently. He's very nice and polite, and we get along very well. It's really a shame we met too late. I'll introduce him to you when I have time."
Lin Yuqing rarely saw Yu Wei praising someone like this, so she couldn't help but ask, "Do you like her?"
"You must be joking!" Yu Wei said seriously, "That boy is four or five years younger than me! I just like him purely like a younger brother. If you see him, you will definitely like him too."
Lin Yuqing was not interested in these things and just said, "I think you should call Mark. He seemed very anxious just now."
