Chapter 2464: Going on a Date

Seeing that Zhou Li was silent and staring at the phone screen, Shen Ting was slightly confused. “Dr Zhou?”

Zhou Li regained his senses and put his phone aside. “Hm?”

“The female classmate you brought to the villa last time, what type do you think she likes?” Shen Ting brushed away the hair on his forehead. “Do you think there’s a chance for me?”

Zhou Li lowered his head and ate, then looked up at Shen Ting and said, “No chance.”

Seeing Zhou Li’s serious expression, Shen Ting raised his eyebrows. “I know there’s no chance, but I don’t want to give up just like that! That female classmate of yours seems quite easygoing when we talk in person, but after adding her on WeChat, I took the initiative to talk to her a few times, but she ignored me.”

“I feel that she’s hot on the outside but cold on the inside.”

“No.” Zhou Li’s usually warm voice turned cold. “She’s fine.”

Shen Ting clicked his tongue. “I was just saying. You don’t have to be so protective of your classmate!”

Shen Ting was a carefree person and did not see anything unusual with Zhou Li. After eating quickly, he ran out to make a call.

Within a few minutes, Shen Ting ran in in a good mood and patted Zhou Li’s thin but broad shoulders. “Doctor Zhou, I’m lucky today.”

Zhou Li looked at Shen Ting, who was grinning from ear to ear, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. “What happened?”

“I went out to send a voice message to your classmate and asked her out for dinner tonight. I didn’t expect her to agree!”

Shen Ting was overjoyed. An Rui was the first girl he cared about after graduating.

Recently, he would leave messages for her when he had time. Although she did not reply much, his heart was still moved.

“Do you think I should book a western restaurant or a Chinese restaurant tonight?”

Zhou Li’s handsome face was tense and his expression was slightly serious. “Up to you.”

Zhou Li had already stood up and left.

Shen Ting looked at Zhou Li’s back and touched his nose, feeling puzzled.

As his colleague, wasn’t he happy that he had arranged to meet An Rui?

When An Rui received Shen Ting’s call, she was distraught.

After a morning, Zhou Li had not sent her any WeChat messages or calls.

Although he did not take the initiative to contact her in the past, he should at least have a statement after that kiss last night, right?

Did he not care because he treated that kiss as nothing?

An Rui was still sulking when Shen Ting sent a voice message.

Shen Ting said that he was having lunch with Zhou Li in the canteen and was talking about her, so he came out to call her and asked if she was free tonight.

An Rui knew that if she agreed, Shen Ting would definitely tell Zhou Li, so she agreed to his invitation.

An Rui returned to her apartment in the afternoon.

She had dressed up again. She was wearing a long fairy dress that hugged her waist, revealing her slender and fair legs. Her long hair was slightly curled and she had exquisite makeup on her face. She looked even better than when she went out in the morning.

Before going out, she posted a selfie on her social media.

With the caption, “Come, let’s compare our lives!”

The moment she posted it, she received many likes.

Ye Tian: “You’re dressed so nicely. Are you on a date?”

Qi Yuan: “Where did this little fairy come from?”

Shen Ting: “Ah, did you dress up for me?”

…

…

An Rui took a taxi to the restaurant Shen Ting had sent her.

While waiting for the traffic light, she opened her feed.

There were almost a hundred likes and comments, but she did not see any likes or comments from Zhou Li.

She remembered that in the past, he would like her posts.

This time, he did not even like it.

An Rui was furious.

Looking at his attitude, he was probably going to cut ties with her.

Shen Ting was waiting for An Rui at the entrance of the restaurant. Seeing her coming over, he welcomed her with a smile.

“Miss An.”

“Dr Shen.”

“I heard that you like Chinese food. I’ve booked a private room. Let’s go in!”

An Rui followed Shen Ting into the room. Shen Ting was a humorous and talkative person, so the atmosphere was not cold.

Halfway through the conversation, they mentioned relationship problems. An Rui confessed to Shen Ting directly. “Dr Shen, to be honest, I have someone I like. I came to meet you today because I wanted to make it clear to you in person. We can be friends, but we definitely can’t be lovers.”

Shen Ting was stunned for a moment. When he regained his senses, he was disappointed but also admired An Rui’s confession.

Many young and beautiful girls like her were vain. Even if they did not like a certain pursuer, they might not refuse directly and would always leave some room for imagination.

On the other hand, she did not like him and did not give him any chance.

“I understand.” Shen Ting was not angry. Feelings were consensual and could not be forced. “Then let’s be friends in the future. Let’s eat this meal happily.”

“Sure.”

After dinner, they played King for more than an hour in the room.

Seeing that An Rui had no intention of going back, Shen Ting invited her to continue at the internet cafe. An Rui did not refuse.

So when they came out of the internet cafe, it was nearly eleven o’clock.

“Hahaha, I’m so happy today. Miss An, come and play at the internet cafe again next time!”

“Come when you have the chance.”

Shen Ting drove An Rui home.

When they arrived at the entrance of the district, Shen Ting ran to the front passenger seat and opened the door for her in a gentlemanly manner.

An Rui thanked him and got out of the car.

From the corner of her eye, a tall and thin figure suddenly walked out of the convenience store.

Zhou Li.

An Rui gritted her teeth. It was already so late and he was still in the mood to buy instant noodles?

Shen Ting also saw Zhou Li. He was about to greet him when he suddenly saw An Rui’s expression.

Although he was carefree, he seemed to have understood something in a flash.

The person Miss An liked was Doctor Zhou!

When Zhou Li looked over, Shen Ting suddenly pulled An Rui into his arms.

An Rui did not expect this and struggled subconsciously after being pulled into Shen Ting’s arms. Shen Ting’s low voice sounded in her ear. “Dr Zhou is looking at us.”

An Rui froze and stopped struggling.

Shen Ting remained gentlemanly and did not hug her tightly. There was some distance between them.

But from Zhou Li’s point of view, the two of them were undoubtedly hugging each other tightly.

Zhou Li furrowed his eyebrows tightly.

He walked towards them.

Shen Ting let go of An Rui and patted her shoulder lightly. “Today’s date was too pleasant. If Miss An has time next time, let’s go out together.”

An Rui smiled and made an OK gesture to Shen Ting.

After Shen Ting got into the car and left, An Rui walked forward.

Zhou Li stood not far away, his dark eyes looking at her calmly.

An Rui pretended not to see him and walked forward with her chin slightly raised.

After entering the elevator and closing the door, a slender and fair hand reached in and opened the elevator door that was about to close.Zhou Li walked in with a serious expression.
