CHAPTER 860: CHAPTER 862: A LITTLE STRANGE

So Tang Rong began to wash up and put on makeup and such. It took her less than half an hour in total, which Xiao Yifei found a bit strange about women.

Whenever he saw Shi Miaomiao and Tang Rong going out together, they both needed at least an hour to get ready. Even so, they were still not satisfied. How come today they got ready in such a short time?

Curiously, he asked, "I see you usually spend over an hour getting ready when you go shopping. What’s going on today?"

"You just don’t get it. Anyway, the reasons within cannot be explained to you, just remember that I can get completely ready in twenty minutes, and today since we were in a rush to go out, I just casually put on some makeup. I didn’t even properly get ready!"

"So, how do I look?" Tang Rong asked Xiao Yifei and took out her pocket mirror to check again.

"Of course, you’re too beautiful. My Rongrong is the most beautiful, even without makeup." Xiao Yifei carefully looked at Tang Rong’s face. However, he didn’t notice any difference in the casual makeup compared to before. Anyway, in his heart, Tang Rong had always been the most beautiful.

"Come on, you say such nice things, but looking at you, I know you definitely didn’t notice any difference!" Tang Rong said, "There’s no difference whether I put on makeup or not, since you can’t tell." Naturally, Tang Rong couldn’t understand why Xiao Yifei couldn’t see such a big difference.

"Forget it, let’s not discuss this topic anymore. If you’re ready, let’s head out," Xiao Yifei knew that if this topic continued, who knows what it would turn into. The most important thing right now was to buy a car.

Walking on the street, passersby couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at Tang Rong. She was not only pretty but also knew how to dress and groom herself, her beauty could easily rival that of a celebrity. Seeing the continuous glances from others, Xiao Yifei, who was initially just holding Tang Rong’s hand casually, pulled her closer and wrapped his arm tightly around her waist, as if declaring his ownership to those who were looking.

Tang Rong chuckled and said to Xiao Yifei, "Is it necessary? They’re just looking at me a bit more. Look how nervous you are."

"Even an extra glance is not allowed. You are mine now, completely belong to me," Xiao Yifei whispered.

"Oh, who was the one boasting last night about being particularly handsome and charming? Yet I didn’t see any young girls on the street giving him a second glance!" Tang Rong said smugly.

"That was just me talking casually. Your charm is too great, completely overshadowing mine, so others can’t see me, only a fairy-like girl," Xiao Yifei was quite good at sweet-talking!

"You’re so good at talking now, why was it that when we weren’t together before, and I didn’t talk to you, you wouldn’t talk to me first? Why was that?" Tang Rong recalled how before, Xiao Yifei hardly spoke to her.

"It’s not that I didn’t want to talk to you before, I just didn’t know what to say to you. Every time I saw you, I got nervous and even more didn’t know what to say," Xiao Yifei said sheepishly.

"Who would have thought that the esteemed Doctor Xiao would get shy around girls?" Tang Rong found such a Yifei incredibly cute.

When the two of them arrived at the place to buy a car, someone immediately came up to them. Their enthusiasm was like meeting their own mother, which was understandable since they were salespeople— selling a car could earn them quite a bit.

After asking about Xiao Yifei’s purchase needs, the person started introducing vehicles that met their requirements. I have to admit, salespeople have quite the gift of gab, talking non-stop for ten minutes without giving Xiao Yifei a chance to speak.

Since Tang Rong wasn’t very knowledgeable about cars, she just watched from the side. Women generally buy things based on looks, whichever is better looking they would buy. So when Xiao Yifei asked her which car she thought was better, she pointed to the one next to her, saying, "I think this one is better, it looks good."

Xiao Yifei was speechless at Tang Rong’s response and said, "Darling, we’re not buying clothes; looks alone aren’t enough!"

"Oh come on. Don’t ask me, I know nothing about different cars, I can’t even recognize car brands. You pick whatever you like."

Eventually, Xiao Yifei bought a car based on his preferences, costing over 200,000.

The two of them hit the road in their new car. Tang Rong sat in the passenger seat, enjoying herself immensely, while Xiao Yifei was thrilled; he could now go on dates in his own car.

Xiao Yifei thought, this period must be the smoothest time of his adult life. His relationship with Tang Rong had entered a stable phase, and at the hospital, Sun Xingyao was no longer working against him. Their relationship now was a harmonious one, even other doctors at the hospital were amazed by the change.

If life could continue like this, it would be pretty good. Actually, he already had more than enough, as the director once said, "You already have what many people pursue all their lives."

But Xiao Yifei knew he couldn’t just live a quiet life like this. He still had to find the Biwei Silver Needle, become a great doctor, and fulfill his grandfather’s last wish.

Shi Miaomiao sometimes wondered, people’s lives are really exhausting. Her generation from birth was expected to study well. At that time, her parents’ only requirement was to have good grades; nothing else mattered.

As a child, she eagerly looked forward to growing up. To her, growing up meant freedom, the freedom to do whatever she wanted. In a blink, she was in college. In her third year of high school, all the teachers told them, "Once you’re in college, you’ll have freedom, and it won’t be as hard."

Shi Miaomiao went to college only to find out that even teachers could lie, and the lie was quite outrageous. Although what the teachers said may have some truth—you don’t study and no one will bother you—realistically, you had to study because the cost of failing was high. In her school, failing too many courses could lead to being asked to leave.

Shi Miaomiao’s first year in college was okay because it was the first year and the pressure wasn’t that intense. The year passed by easily and happily.

In the second year, everyone started choosing the paths they wanted to take. Some were preparing to study abroad, some were working part-time and gaining internship experience, while others were making waves in student organizations. Shi Miaomiao suddenly panicked.

Because she didn’t know what she was supposed to do or even what she was capable of doing, she often worried back then that she wouldn’t be able to find a job in the future.

But looking back now, her worries were completely unnecessary. Perhaps due to her good luck and strong professional skills, she easily transitioned from an internship in her fourth year to her current job.

Actually, what Shi Miaomiao wanted to say by writing all this is, "Everyone goes through a period of confused life and a path with no one accompanying them. But in the end, life will get better." Just like her current life, although her salary isn’t very high, it’s enough to live alone in this city. Moreover, she’s met incredible people like Tang Rong and Xiao Yifei.
