Chapter 145 She and I Are More Than Friends
Qi Shuo and Zhou Wenguang were sitting together, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became a little cold. Cheng Wenwen, who was drinking a cold drink nearby, couldn't help but feel it.
Cheng Wenwen wanted to introduce the two people, but Zhou Wenguang asked her first: "Miss Cheng, is this a guest in your house?"
Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "Yes, he is my friend, staying in the mansion, his name is Qi Shuo."
Then, Cheng Wenwen looked at Qi Shuo and introduced him, "This is Zhou Wenguang, Doctor Zhou, and also my friend."
Qi Shuo felt unhappy when he heard the word "friend". He was her friend, and this man named Zhou was also her friend. Didn't she have too many friends?
Are they still boyfriends?
If Cheng Wenwen heard this word in Qi Shuo's mind, she would definitely spit out the cold drink she had just drunk. In ancient times, there was no distinction between boyfriend and male friend.
However, Cheng Wenwen didn't know what Qi Shuo was thinking. After she finished the introduction, she entertained Zhou Wenguang and said, "Doctor Zhou, have some cool drinks. The children should be out soon."
Cheng Wenwen asked Pei'er to go to the backyard and call a few children out, but she didn't know why they hadn't come yet.
Zhou Wenguang just said: "It's okay, no rush, it's good for me to rest a little longer."
Zhou Wenguang began to taste the cold drinks in Cheng Wenwen's house, and couldn't help but praise: "The cold drinks in your house are really unique. I have never tasted them before. They are cool and delicious."
Cheng Wenwen smiled modestly: "Not at all."
She just wanted to drink milk tea, so she taught the cook how to make these milk teas and fruit teas, which were refreshing to drink when she came back from outside in the summer.
Qi Shuo listened to Zhou Wenguang praising it and thought it was normal that he had never tasted it before. Only Cheng Wenwen could make such exquisite and delicious food.
However, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. In the past, Cheng Wenwen would only cook for herself, Qi Xing and Qi Qi, but that might not be the case in the future.
Qi Shuo picked up the cold drink sullenly, lowered his head and began to drink it.
Cheng Wenwen noticed it from the side and saw that he seemed to like it very much, so she called someone over: "Go to the kitchen and bring more."
"Yes!"
The servants went downstairs and brought the food quickly. Cheng Wenwen asked them to put it on Qi Shuo's table.
Qi Shuo couldn't help but look at her in confusion.
Cheng Wenwen said to him, "If you like to drink, drink more. You can ask the cooks to make it for you at home. Don't be restrained."
Cheng Wenwen thought that he was embarrassed to trouble the cook at home, so he didn't get to drink the cold drinks.
But Qi Shuo never thought about eating and drinking. Only when she was around would he be in the mood to enjoy them.
However, Cheng Wenwen was concerned about him, and Qi Shuo was also pleased. He nodded and said, "Of course I won't be polite with you."
Zhou Wenguang could naturally see some ambiguous relationship between the two.
But he could also see that it was Qi Shuo's wishful thinking, as if Cheng Wenwen did not accept his wishful thinking.
Zhou Wenguang saw through all this and smiled slightly.
"Miss Cheng, I really like your cold drink. I would like to ask my cook to teach me how to make it. I would like to ask your cooks to teach me how to make it. Is that okay?"
Cheng Wenwen nodded immediately: "Of course!"
"Thank you very much, Miss Cheng!"
Cheng Wenwen shook her head: "It's just some cold drinks, it's not a big deal, no need to thank me."
Zhou Wenguang looked at her and smiled. She was indeed kind-hearted and had no defenses against others. If these cold drink recipes were sold to major restaurants, they would surely be sold out, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Zhou Wenguang then asked, "Is the calming incense I gave you useful? If there is anything wrong with it, please point it out so that I can go back and improve it."
Cheng Wenwen said: "It's very useful. I slept very well last night!"
Zhou Wenguang smiled and said, "Don't be shy to give me suggestions! If there are any flaws, please tell me so that I can improve the recipe."
"Doctor Zhou, you are not using me as a guinea pig, are you?"
Cheng Wenwen had previously felt a little embarrassed to accept Zhou Wenguang’s things, but from what Zhou Wenguang showed, it seemed as if he was concocting a recipe and looking for someone to experiment with it.
"What little white mouse?" Zhou Wenguang didn't understand. Was she saying that he was a cat? Cats set up traps to catch mice, so she saw through his thoughts?
Zhou Wenguang felt a little nervous for a moment.
Cheng Wenwen thought that Zhou Wenguang didn't know modern terms, so she smiled and explained, "Some doctors use mice for experiments when prescribing medicine, so I'm likening it to Doctor Zhou using me as a guinea pig!"
Zhou Wenguang suddenly relaxed after hearing this and said, "So that's how it is... But I've never heard of a doctor catching mice to make prescriptions. Mice are full of evil spirits and I'm afraid they can't be touched. Doctors mostly use chickens, ducks, and pigs for experiments, right?"
Cheng Wenwen said guiltily, "Yes, yes. I have seen a wandering doctor before. He raised mice for experiments. They are much cleaner than wild mice. I heard that mice have high IQs, so using mice for experiments is more accurate than using chickens and ducks."
"I see! I'll try it this way next time."
Zhou Wenguang suddenly felt that Cheng Wenwen was different from many women in this world. She could plan her own life and understood many things that ordinary people did not understand. She was indeed a unique woman.
Qi Shuo listened to the two people talking and laughing, and couldn't help but want to interrupt them and said, "I haven't been sleeping well these days. Doctor Zhou, can you give me some calming incense?"
Zhou Wenguang didn't expect Qi Shuo to ask for it from him. He was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Of course, Brother Qi is Miss Cheng's friend, so he is also my friend."
Qi Shuo smiled insincerely and said, "Thank you, Doctor Zhou."
Zhou Wenguang said: "I will send it over tomorrow."
Both men looked at each other with a smile, but neither of them felt comfortable in their hearts.
Cheng Wenwen didn't pay attention to these small details, and said to Qi Shuo: "I'll give you some calming incense first, so you can have a good sleep today."
Cheng Wenwen thought that Qi Shuo must have had trouble sleeping during these days of suffering in the cell. Now that he was out, it must have had some impact on him, so she took great care of him, after all, he was still injured.
When Qi Shuo heard Cheng Wenwen say this, he smiled and said, "Okay!"
While responding to Cheng Wenwen, he also looked at Zhou Wenguang.
However, Zhou Wenguang did not show any unhappiness and still had a gentle expression.
"Why hasn't Pei'er called Zhou Yaozhen out yet? Let me go check it out!"
Cheng Wenwen stood up and walked towards the backyard.
At this moment, only Qi Shuo and Zhou Wenguang were sitting in the living room.
Zhou Wenguang just drank the cold drink and didn't show any expression.
But Qi Shuo looked at Zhou Wenguang and found him particularly annoying.
"Don't pay attention to her." Qi Shuo warned him.
Zhou Wenguang raised his eyes, the gentleness in his eyes disappeared, and his smile faded. He said, "Brother Qi, this is not something a friend should be involved in, right?"
Cheng Wenwen said that Qi Shuo was just her friend, and friends couldn't be so controlling.
Qi Shuo said coldly: "What if she and I are more than just friends?"
