Chapter 218 - A Bad Day
Chapter 218 – A Bad Day
"Hi!" Zhai Kuijun waved at her in response.
"What are you doing here?" asked Mu Chenyan.
"If you can come to see Xiang Weimin, why can't I?" retorted Zhai Kuijun.
"Who said I'm here to see Xiang Weimin? Wait? Xiang Weimin is here? Why? Is he injured?"
Seeing her acting like that Xiang Hulin pursed his lips to suppress his smile while Zhai Kuijun snorted, "Even her acting skills haven't changed in these years." To him, her acting was just as bad as it had been before. There wasn't the slightest improvement. None that he could see for sure!
Mu Chenyan didn't care about his comment at all. She plainly smiled at him before turning towards her car. But frowned when she didn't see Yue Yue.
"Yue!" she called out. Then she looked around the car but still didn't find her. "Yue Yue?! Yue Yue?!"
"Who are you looking for?" asked Xiang Hulin.
"I came with my friend. I thought she was in the car, where did she go?" Mu Chenyan tried to call her but the call couldn't connect. She craned her neck to look around the parking lot but couldn't see her. So, she chose to jump over the roof of the jeep to get a better view of the parking lot.
She didn't care what she looked like right now. She was really worried about Yue Yue. She only left her here because she thought Yue Yue won't randomly go out. It was also dangerous to randomly walk around a military hospital.
Xiang Hulin rubbed his temples, "Chen Chen, get down here!" On his side, Zhai Kuijun was also shaking his head thinking about how Mu Chenyan really didn't change in all these years.
"Let me find her first," replied Mu Chenyan.
*Beep!*
She checked her phone and seeing the text was from Yue, she hurriedly jumped down and got in the jeep. "Found her! I'll take my leave now! Ciao!"
Seeing her car moving away, Zhai Kuijun asked, "You didn't even ask her to stay."
"She won't stay even if I asked her," replied Xiang Hulin. Recalling something, he joked with Zhai Kuijun, "By the way, it's such a coincidence that your wife's younger sister's name is also Yue Yue." Not hearing a reply from him, Xiang Hulin turned to look at Zhai Kuijun who seemed to be in a daze. "Do I remember it wrong?"
Zhai Kuijun shook his head, "Not really. Her name is indeed Yue Yue." He sighed out, "It's just that people usually don't talk about her so I was a little taken aback."
…..
Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan stopped the car at the far end of the parking lot and found Yue Yue sitting on the wooden bench beside a flower bed. There seemed to be someone else there as well but before Mu Chenyan could get a look at that person, Yue Yue has already jumped in the car and signaled her to start driving.
"Why did you come all the way here?" asked Mu Chenyan as they drove out of the hospital premises.
Yue Yue pressed her lips together and closed her eyes trying to avoid answering that question.
Earlier when she had confirmed that Zhai Kuijun was there, she had sprinted off to hide behind another car. But not feeling safe, she continued to walk further and further away from her original position as she continued to check if anyone saw her.
But how would she know she had a stroke of bad luck for today. Because a car suddenly came right in front of her and…
*Screech!*
Although the car stopped quite some distance away from her, however, she was already feeling on edge, and because of that, she fell down. The driver came out to check up on her and asked, "Are you okay?"
Yue Yue rubbed her chest to calm her fast beating heart as she waved her hand as if to say it was nothing. But since the other person couldn't understand her, she looked for her phone that also fell down with her. Looking at the cracked screen, she tried to turn it on.
The driver helped her up and asked again, "Miss, are you really okay?"
Yue Yue nodded her head and looked up but froze when she saw the face before her eyes. Her eyes moved to the crisp uniform-clad around the man's body before her eyes stopped on the name written on his chest pocket, Zhai Yanjun.
She groaned inwardly, today was really a bad day for her.
Zhai Yanjun also looked at her and his brows furrowed up a little.
Yue Yue instantly lowered her head and tried to turn on her phone again. As it turned on, she hurriedly typed, 'I'm alright. You don't have to worry at all.'
Zhai Yanjun's frown deepened when he read the words she typed on her phone. "Are you sure?" he still asked.
Yue Yue nodded once again at him while typing a message to send to Mu Chenyan asking her to hurry up and get her from here.
"How about you sit down here for a while then?" suggested Zhai Yanjun as he pointed at the bench. Yue Yue followed his suggestion and sat down for a while.
When Mu Chenyan approached, Yue Yue waved him goodbye and ran off as fast as she could. She really didn't think her luck was so bad to run into both father and son on the very same day! Also, at the very same place as well!
Behind her, Zhai Yanjun had a complicated look in his eyes. He couldn't seem to recall her face but the way she looked at him then avoided her eyes made him feel strange.
Shaking these thoughts out of his head, he got back inside the car and parked it on the side carefully. He had only taken a day off to come here because he heard about Xiang Weimin's accident. And he had to get back to his battalion as soon as possible. He couldn't waste time here thinking about random stuff.
