Because this time they did not set off from Moon Hall together, but met again after arriving at Dafu Square, so he had no chance to succeed in a mid-step attack this time.
Meng Fei could only confess his feelings first and then hold hands in a legitimate manner under the premise of success.
At about 7 o'clock in the evening, he was sitting in the "Blue and White Porcelain" restaurant on the third floor of Dafu Plaza.
In addition to various blue and white porcelain tableware, blue patterned coarse cloth can be seen everywhere in the blue and white porcelain restaurant. The whole environment is quiet and elegant, and full of simplicity and handmade feeling.
The yellow soft lighting is like light and slightly bitter tea, making the atmosphere peaceful and warm. A quiet night should be spent in this atmosphere.
At 7:15, Ai Ting, who had not been seen for several days, stepped in exactly as the second hand did at the pre-arranged time. Then she quickly found the private room reserved by Meng Fei.
This time she changed her style and wore a black women's coat and a white scarf, letting her hair fall around her ears without restraints.
Even under the bright midday sun, there was no obvious blemish on her face. Sitting under such a slightly dim light, it is even more beautiful than words can say.
But after she came in, the overall atmosphere was a bit dull. The source was not Meng Fei or the restaurant, but Ai Ting's expression. She kept staring at the table, feeling a little depressed.
"This is your...Christmas gift from God."
A ray of sunshine appeared in Ai Ting's expression, and she took the gift. But the thing was sealed tightly, and you couldn't tell what was inside.
"Thanks."
She placed the item on her side of the table as a sign of acceptance, but did not open it. The ray of sunshine that just appeared quickly disappeared again.
This atmosphere made Meng Fei feel very weird. Logically speaking, he wanted to confess, but he was the one who was embarrassed. But now it's the other way around. Ai Ting, who was originally cheerful, looks more cramped than him.
If he forcefully confesses his love at this time, I feel like the prospect is not good.
"You today..."
Meng Fei organized the language with great enthusiasm. If you say "Why are you unhappy today?" sometimes it will be regarded as a kind of accusation. This is really unexpected, completely different from the AI preview.
"What happened to you in the past two days?"
Meng Fei quickly decided to change the topic from the present to the previous few days. This way the firepower will be less likely to cause accidental damage.
Ai Ting raised her eyes with a look of strong expectation.
Even when she was a little depressed, her beautiful eyes were so mesmerizing that Meng Fei didn't dare to look at her.
"Meng Fei, I have something to ask you for help with."
"That's easy to talk about. What's the matter?"
"My dad is sick, very serious, and may die."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?
"What are you waiting for?
"Let's go now..."
He stood up and was about to leave on the spot.
This is certainly not a good thing. But for him, it was a benign accident.
Even if he can't do anything now, he has the most powerful BUG system at hand to treat diseases. He is simply the most powerful famous doctor in the history of mankind.
If you deal with your father-in-law first before confessing your love, wouldn't it be possible to lock in success in advance?
The only pity is that confessing tonight will definitely not work. Confession under this situation is simply coercion.
"Wait a moment, sit down and listen to me."
This time it was Ai Ting who took the initiative to hold hands. But to be precise, she didn't pull him, but grabbed his wrist and violently pushed him back to his seat.
"Okay." Meng Fei nodded.
"My dad is in Zhangdao."
"Zhangdao?"
Meng Fei was shocked, and Zhang Li's repeated warnings popped up in his heart.
“Never go to Zhangdao!”
It seems that Zhang Li may have already known that Ai Ting might come looking for him.
But why did Zhang Li repeatedly warn him not to go to Zhangdao? Does he want Ai Ting's father to die early?
This won't happen. Zhang Li had no idea that he had the ability to cure all diseases. His blocking should be for other reasons.
Saving people is like putting out fires. He obviously will not succumb to Zhang Li's warning, but it is not that easy for him to immediately go to Zhangdao to treat Ai Ting's father.
Although Zhangdao is not far from Wutong City, it is a special place. Going there requires something similar to a visa, called a "Zhangdao Pass."
Because this is an "old aristocratic dominion".
After the founding of the Republic, most of the country became a republic, but there were still a few old nobles who reached an agreement with the Republic and obtained autonomous territories within the Republic.
Zhangdao Aijia is one of them.
Only people from the Ai family or people with permission from the Ai family who have business dealings can go to Zhangdao. Meng Fei has never applied for a Zhangdao Pass.
Theoretically, the Zhangdao Pass must be applied for one week in advance, so it is impossible for him to go there in a hurry.
"Then I can apply for a pass as soon as possible tomorrow morning?"
Meng Fei sat down and scratched his head. This matter is indeed more troublesome.
"Don't be impatient. Although my dad says he is seriously ill, he won't die tonight. You have to listen to me first."
"Okay, you say."
"To put it simply, the reason why he wanted me to go back was because he had an acute form of leukemia."
"Want you to transplant bone marrow to him?"
"...It can be understood that way."
"Yeah, but I can cure leukemia. So you don't need a bone marrow transplant."
Even if it was used to treat his father-in-law and extract the bone marrow of the woman he liked, he still felt a little distressed.
"That's not the problem.
"The problem is, according to the rules of the Ai family, I am not qualified to set foot on Zhangdao now."
"Why?"
Meng Fei was very surprised by this. He originally thought that Ai Ting took early leave just to go back to Zhangdao to spend the New Year holiday with her family.
“All descendants of the Ai family had to leave Zhangdao at a young age and grew up anonymously in other places.
"You can't return to Zhangdao until you end your single life."
"Reject all singles..."
Meng Fei felt that this rule was very sick and rigid.
But the rules of this old noble family, which still rules their own territory, are so rigid towards their young descendants.
First of all, I won’t let you grow up in a wealthy family. After the infant stage, people are sent out to grow up as ordinary people, so as to avoid the emergence of uneducated and unskilled dandies.
Then if you choose to be single and unmarried, that is your freedom.
But if you choose this option, you will never want to return to Zhangdao to inherit your family's property and status. This will prevent singleism from severing the family inheritance.
But if you want to get married and can't find a partner, this family can solve the problem by arranging marriage with other families with status and status.
So if Ai Ting wants to go back to Zhangdao, even just to visit her seriously ill father, she must find a boyfriend to take him with her.
Otherwise she must sign to accept the marriage arranged by the family.
"I see."
Meng Fei nodded, still feeling that this matter was beneficial to him.
"So I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend and accompany me to Zhangdao to visit my father tomorrow."
"Fake?"
Why are you always fake?
Last time you pretended to be my girlfriend, this time I pretend to be your boyfriend?
Is this a fake couple soap opera?
Meng Fei thought in his heart, why should he fake it when he can obviously play it real?
Even if I was asked to marry into my wife, I didn’t say I wasn’t willing.
Although he only said it in his heart, part of his expression still appeared on his face.
"I know what you're thinking."
After hearing him say "no problem", Ai Ting was obviously a little more cheerful than the dull mood at the beginning, but her eyes became sharper.
"You want to express your love tonight, right?"
