Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2166: Chapter 2161: Burning Jealousy

All these years, she had never seen Hua Jin smile so brightly.

This smile was different from the smiles he gave to them; it was a smile that came from deep within his heart.

A smile that was very natural, without any pretense.

Zhao Dong finally caught up with Yuan Yunong and felt very strange seeing her standing motionless at the intersection.

Following Yuan Yunong’s gaze, he surprisingly saw An Hao walking with a man towards Nanguofeng.

The two were talking and laughing, appearing as if they had known each other for a long time.

”What are you looking at?” Zhao Dong asked.

”Nothing.” Yuan Yunong snapped back to reality, but the coldness in her eyes had not dissipated.

”What’s wrong with you?” Zhao Dong looked at her in surprise.

Yuan Yunong’s demeanor now was completely different from just moments ago. The Yuan Yunong of before seemed as gentle as a spring breeze, but now she felt as piercing as a cold winter.

This cold, cold gaze made one’s blood feel frozen.

”Zhao Dong,” Yuan Yunong adjusted her emotions and said, ”let’s end our relationship. Don’t look for me anymore.”

”Yunong, what’s wrong? I chased you all the way here, and now you’re saying you want to break up with me! Can you tell me why?” Zhao Dong pressed.

”I don’t have feelings for you.” Yuan Yunong said bluntly.

Zhao Dong immediately felt like countless sharp swords pierced through his heart, the pain unbearable: ”Is what you’re saying true? Were all your previous kind acts towards me just my illusion?”

”Not entirely. But now, consider it as a dream. I tried being with you, but I found that we just aren’t compatible. I don’t love you!” Yuan Yunong said decisively.

Zhao Dong looked at Yuan Yunong for a long time before slowly saying, ”Is it true then, like the rumors say, that you’ve fallen for Captain Qin?”

”What if I say yes?”

”But he’s already married!” Zhao Dong, having somewhat guessed this, wasn’t surprised to hear the answer.

”I don’t care. Go away and don’t look for me again!” Yuan Yunong finished speaking and turned decisively towards Nanguofeng.

Watching her leave, Zhao Dong walked away in a daze.

In the restaurant.

An Hao chose a relatively quiet corner and sat down with Hua Jin.

The waiter came over and handed them the menu.

An Hao took the menu directly and smiled at Hua Jin, ”Let me order. I promise you’ll be satisfied!”

”I’ll follow your lead.”

An Hao quickly ordered a few signature dishes and two bowls of rice.

During the wait for the food, An Hao asked to see his surgical summary.

”I didn’t write it,” Hua Jin said.

”What? You didn’t write it?” An Hao exclaimed in surprise, but then she quickly understood, ”Come on! Open up your mind and let me see.”

”I’ll open it right for you! I’ll ask the waiter to bring a knife.” Hua Jin curved his mouth into a smile and waved the waiter over.

”Sir, is there anything else you need?”

”A pen and a sheet of paper, please. Thank you.”

”Just a moment!”

It didn’t take long for the waiter to bring the paper and pen. Hua Jin took the pen and drew a cross-section of a heart on the paper: ”Come on! I’ll explain it to you! Can’t let you treat me to a meal for nothing.”

From a distant place in the restaurant, Yuan Yunong quietly watched all of this, her hands tightly gripping the water glass.
