16 Peeling Shrimps for Her, The Most Matched Golden Couple

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Xianyi blushed when Lu Shiyuan called her his little girl. She lowered her head and followed him to the two empty seats next to each other.

"Why don't you sit with me? If you guys are drinking or something, it's not appropriate for a young lady like her to squeeze in the middle." Zhu Xiaonan smiled gracefully. "You're still worried that I'll neglect her!"

"Why don't we let the girls sit together?" Someone echoed.

"That works too."

There were many times when there was no smoke in a war between women.

Although the two of them addressed each other as niece and uncle, Zhu Xiaonan could feel that Lu Shiyuan treated her differently from others.

Su Xianyi looked at Lu Shiyuan. "Uncle, why don't I go over and sit?"

As she spoke, he raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder. He used a moderate amount of strength and brought her to a chair to sit down. "Sit here."

Lu Shiyuan said as he looked at Zhu Xiaonan again. "I appreciate your kindness. As I said just now, the girl is afraid of strangers. I'm worried that she will feel uncomfortable sitting next to you. I'll take care of her myself."

Zhu Xiaonan smiled awkwardly. There were quite a few people present, so they could more or less smell something unusual.

Xiao Dongyi coughed lightly. He had to warm up the scene at such a crucial time. "Have you ordered the dishes? What are we eating tonight?"

"I just finished ordering." Someone answered.

"That won't do. Director Chen is treating us tonight. It's not easy to catch him. I want to add two more dishes."

..

Before the banquet began, everyone introduced themselves because of the unfamiliar face of Su Xianyi.

They asked for Su Xianyi's name and age. When they heard that she was in her fourth year, they asked about her internship. Later, when they talked about their surgery, no one continued to stare at her.

The medical content involved many professional terms. Su Xianyi didn't understand and couldn't interrupt. Before the dishes were served, she could only lower her head and drink water.

"Is the water that good?" They had added seats at the last minute, so they were close to each other. Lu Shiyuan tilted his head slightly, and his breath could touch her face.

"It's alright."

"Your allergy has recovered?"

"Yes."

As the dishes were served one after another, Su Xianyi did not expect to have crayfish and was immediately tempted.

It was the season for crayfish to appear in the market one after another. However, she had been allergic to it some time ago and needed to avoid eating it, so she had not dared to eat crayfish.

Because Wei Yu'an was an idiot. She had lost her image. If she were to suck on crayfish in front of him, her image would be ruined.

Then, she watched as the plate of crayfish spun around on the dining table, and there were fewer and fewer of them.

At this moment, Director Chen stood up. "Thank you for your hard work on this surgery. You didn't work for so many days in vain. I'll use tea as wine to toast everyone."

There were a few bottles of wine on the table, red and white, and only a few people poured wine.

After everyone raised their glasses together, Director Chen specially toasted Lu Shiyuan. "Shiyuan, it's all thanks to you for discovering the problem in time during the operation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to talk to the patient's family."

"It's what I should do." Lu Shiyuan was also very polite.

"Don't talk about work during dinner. Talk about something light." The one who spoke was Director Chen's wife. She sized up Lu Shiyuan. "Doctor Lu, you don't have a girlfriend yet, right? What do you think of our Kingstown girls?"

"Sister-in-law is going to introduce a partner to Dr. Lu." Everyone teased.

"Don't let the fertile water flow into others' fields. There are many good single girls in our hospital, such as Xiaonan."

"A perfect match. I think it's quite suitable."

..

Su Xianyi chewed the fish in her mouth and looked up at Zhu Xiaonan diagonally across from her.

She blushed a little from the teasing and said shyly. "Don't joke around with us."

"We're very serious. Why don't the two of you make do? I think it's quite good." The one who spoke was a female doctor.

Many of the sincere words were hidden inside jokes. Su Xianyi could see that many people at the banquet really wanted to match-make the two of them.

She suddenly felt that the fish in her mouth was no longer delicious.

However, Lu Shiyuan only picked up his chopsticks and picked up a crayfish. He looked at the female doctor and said,

"You can't make do with relationships. If you don't really like someone, not only will you be irresponsible to yourself, but you'll also hurt your other half."

The two of them were considered a golden couple in the hospital. Everyone would occasionally tease them. This time, they were also half-joking and wanted to match-make them, but they did not expect Lu Shiyuan to be serious.

The atmosphere at the dining table instantly became a little strange, and Zhu Xiaonan's face turned slightly green.

Su Xianyi sighed. It was another girl who had been hurt by him. She recalled herself from back then and felt sorry for her.

At this moment, Lu Shiyuan suddenly handed the small bowl in front of him to her. There was half a bowl of peeled crayfish in it.

"This…" Su Xianyi looked at him in disbelief.

Lu Shiyuan was holding a napkin and slowly wiping his fingers. "You don't like crayfish?"

"I like it."

Su Xianyi smiled at him and lowered her head to eat the food in satisfaction.

Lu Shiyuan's actions were seen differently by different people. Some people felt that he doted on his niece, while others were jealous.

And people like Xiao Dongyi who deeply despised it…

He had known Lu Shiyuan for many years. When had he ever seen him serve anyone?

Serving tea and personally peeling prawns? If the Lu family saw this, their jaws would drop.

What did this guy usually say when he asked him for help?

"My hands are used to treat illnesses and save lives, not to help you do chores."

Alright, so I'm not worthy!

**

Lu Shiyuan helped Su Xianyi peel a few more crayfish. He approached her and whispered. "I'm going out to wash my hands."

"Yes."

Su Xianyi responded in a low voice and watched him get up and leave. When she turned her head, she saw Zhu Xiaonan also get up. The two of them walked out of the private room one after another. She frowned slightly and guessed what Zhu Xiaonan wanted to do.

At this moment, the private room also began the toasting session. Many people left their seats. Xiao Dongyi also took the opportunity to sit in Lu Shiyuan's seat. "Have a cup with me?"

"Alright." Su Xianyi picked up her teacup.

"Tea? You're too insincere. Do you want some wine?"

"I can't drink it."

"Your allergy has recovered, right? Just drink a little. The alcohol content of this wine is very low."

"I really can't." Su Xianyi's alcohol tolerance wasn't good.

Xiao Dongyi wanted to know about Su Xianyi and Lu Shiyuan too much. He couldn't pry a certain someone's mouth open, so while he was not around, he was prepared to start with his girl.

Su Xianyi tried to decline, but a certain "strange uncle" was too enthusiastic.

..

At this moment, Lu Shiyuan had just come out of the bathroom. He looked up and saw Zhu Xiaonan waiting outside, leaning against the wall.

"Dr. Lu, can I talk to you alone?"
