Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred

He couldn’t help but sigh, "The love between young couples really is enviable!"

But he forgot that he was still young himself.

Since he planned to go out for dinner that afternoon, after returning to his dormitory, he picked up a medical book to read.

Time simply flew by while he was reading.

At five-forty, Tan Xiaofeng came back from work:

"Doctor Lu, you haven’t left yet?"

Lu Jing had just come out to drink some water and nodded:

"Didn’t we agree on six o’clock?"

The place they had planned wasn’t far, just a few minutes away.

"Right, almost time, I’ll change my outfit, and then we can head out together!"

"Okay!"

...

Five minutes later, Dr. Tan had changed into an emerald green dress, wearing small wedge leather shoes, and even let her usually tied-up hair down, cascading over her shoulders. In such a short time, she had even put on light makeup.

Lu Jing, on the other hand, hadn’t done any of that; just a T-shirt and jeans.

As for makeup, let’s not even go there—she hadn’t even put on lipstick.

Basically, unless necessary, Lu Jing didn’t wear makeup, just basic skincare.

But even without makeup, she still outshone most people!

There’s no helping it, her natural beauty spoke for itself!

In the elevator, Tan Xiaofeng glanced several times at the person beside her and finally sighed heavily:

"I’m so jealous!"

Huh?

"Jealous?"

"Yeah, yeah, Doctor Lu, what did you eat while growing up? Did you grow up drinking dew like a fairy?"

Pfft—

"I grew up eating food."

So, definitely not a fairy.

The two chatted back and forth, and before long, they arrived at the address Dr. Jia had given.

It was a newly opened hotpot restaurant that had become extremely popular, reportedly owned by several big celebrities.

Every day, many fans came to patronize and check-in, making the business very booming.

It wasn’t even six o’clock yet, and there was already a long queue outside the hotpot restaurant.

Luckily, Dr. Jia and her boyfriend had come early and already secured a spot.

When the waitstaff saw them walking directly inside, they quickly called out:

"Good evening ladies, you’ll need to line up."

"We have a reservation."

"Ladies, which table did you reserve?"

"39."

"Right this way, please."

The hotpot restaurant had three floors, each elegantly decorated and cleverly designed with partitions between the tables for privacy.

"Doctor Lu, Dr. Tan, over here!"

Jia Yuqing, with her keen eyes, had already spotted them from upstairs and called out.

The waitress leading the way was no longer needed.

"No trouble, we’ll go up ourselves."

"Ok, ladies, call us if you need anything."

...

On the third floor, as soon as they reached the top of the stairs, Jia Yuqing came running over and directly grabbed their wrists:

"Quick, quick, sit down."

At the table, Jia Yuqing’s boyfriend had already stood up to greet them with a nod and a smile.

"Dr. Jia, wouldn’t you introduce us?"

Tan Xiaofeng deliberately spoke up to tease.

Jia Yuqing, who had already sat by her boyfriend, now stood up again:

"Alright, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Peng Zifeng, the technical supervisor at X Pharmaceutical."

Then she turned to her boyfriend:

"Zifeng, these are my roommates. This is Dr. Tan, an emergency room doctor, and this is Doctor Lu, an orthopedist, quite remarkable, just returned from studying abroad!"

Both parties nodded again in greeting and finally sat down.

"X Pharmaceutical? My boyfriend seems to have a lot of collaborations with your company!" Tan Xiaofeng suddenly said.

"Oh? Dr. Tan, could you tell me his name? Maybe I actually know your boyfriend!"

"His name is Ye Ge!"

Pfft—

Peng Zifeng just took a sip of tea and suddenly choked.

"Ye Ge?"

There was total surprise and shock in his tone.

Tan Xiaofeng nodded:

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Sss—

Peng Zifeng’s expression turned odd before he slowly said, "If the Ye Ge you are talking about is the one I know, well, we were college roommates!"
