Really?”
Dempsey nodded: “Yeah.”
She took a deep breath and said, “Thank you. I feel much better now.”
Dempsey saw that she adjusted her mood in time, and felt a little relieved.
“Are you hungry? I remember there’s a good hot pot restaurant nearby .”
Myrna thought about it and didn’t refuse.
Dempsey can’t eat spicy food, so he ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot .
The fiery red soup base is bubbling and steaming, and it looks very appetizing.
Myrna was still in a bad mood, but as she felt the hustle and bustle around her, she felt less depressed.
The beef ribs were tender and tasty, and the vegetables were fresh and green. Even those who had no appetite just now suddenly had their appetites stimulated.
It was still stormy outside, but the store was warm and cozy.
The sound of conversation came from all directions, and Myrna ‘s mood gradually returned to normal.
Myrna looked up and saw that the man opposite her had obviously not moved his chopsticks much. Judging from his slow movements, he didn’t look hungry. Instead, coming to the hot pot restaurant seemed like a way to comfort her.
Thinking back to the last time on a dark rainy day, he also accompanied her in this subtle and silent way. Myrna was really grateful.
“Thank you… for today.” She had never thought that she would be involved in such an embarrassing situation. If Dempsey hadn’t appeared, it would have been difficult for her to get out of it on her own.
“For me, the scene just now was like a nightmare.”
Even if I convince myself not to care, how can I really be indifferent?
Thinking of this, she came back to her senses from her daze, met Dempsey’s clear eyes, and suddenly smiled: “Fortunately you showed up, falling from the sky, like… a savior.”
“That’s not how the Savior is used.” Dempsey laughed.
Myrna looked at his pupils under the lenses, and the man’s voice sounded in her ears again –
“You are much stronger and more resilient than you think.”
Dempsey didn’t say this deliberately to comfort her because she was feeling down, but to tell her clearly that she was already very strong.
Myrna was stunned for two seconds, as if she saw something, and suddenly laughed: “Your glasses are foggy, doesn’t it affect your vision?”
The lenses of the man’s glasses were filled with moisture due to the steam, which made him look a little funny.
Dempsey took it off reluctantly and wiped it with a tissue: “So this is why I rarely come to hot pot restaurants.”
Myrna raised her eyes slightly, and supported herself with her hands while smiling: “So you don’t like coming to hot pot restaurants.”
?? It?? s not that I don?? t like it, I just think it?? s inconvenient.??
Dempsey dried his lenses and put them back on.
Myrna nodded, thinking back to the few times he had dinner at her house, he didn’t seem to show anything in particular that he liked or disliked.
Dempsey saw that she was lost in thought again: “This beef is good, try it…”
Myrna : ?? Thank you, I can do it myself????
Dempsey still had to go to the lab, so I just sent her downstairs.
The rain had stopped, but the road was damp and a chill was blowing in from all directions. Myrna shivered and subconsciously pulled her coat closer, only to smell a familiar woody scent.
She lowered her head, looked at the dark coat on her body, and couldn’t help laughing.
Thinking about the fact that Dempsey only had a thin turtleneck sweater on, it should be… okay, right?
However, after hearing the man’s continuous sneezing the next day, Myrna concluded that men were not that resistant to cold.
“I sent your clothes to be dry-cleaned. They should be back in a few days.”
Dempsey waved his hand. “No rush.”
It was just a coat, and he had another one in his closet.
“I came back to get some changes of clothes. I have to go to the lab again soon.”
He spoke with a heavy nasal tone and had a mask on his face. You could tell from the sound that he had a serious cold.
“Wait a moment.”
Myrna turned and went into the house, and when she came back, she was holding a thermos in her hand.
“This is the ginger soup I made yesterday. Remember to drink it while it’s hot.”
Dempsey frowned slightly when he heard the word “ginger”. Myrna didn’t notice and just reminded him: “There are also cold medicines in the bag. They are all common ones. The instructions are written on the box.”
Dempsey was in good health and seldom caught a cold. After hearing what she said, he paused and for the first time, he had the urge to return the thermos.
However, he then heard Myrna say, “After all, it was because of me that you caught a cold yesterday.”
He wanted to push his hand away, but then he pulled it back.
I looked at my watch and realized that I was running out of time.
“Thank you. I’ll take the ginger soup and cold medicine.”
Watching the man walk away, Myrna closed the door and went back into the house.
There are still some points that need to be supplemented in the previous paper, and she has been looking up information on various websites these days.
Professor Thoreau gave her were all original German versions. Her German level was only enough for daily communication, so she still needed to spend time looking up professional vocabulary.
Immersed in the ocean of papers, Myrna’s brain was working fast and her hands were constantly taking notes. At this moment, her cell phone rang.
Her coherent thoughts were interrupted, and she felt a little annoyed, but she still put down her pen and picked up her phone to answer the call.
“Hello.”
“I’m sorry about what happened yesterday, but there are some things I still want to tell you in person.”
It’s Clyde .
Myrna was silent for a few seconds, which was just right because she also wanted to make her point clear.
After agreeing on a time and place, Myrna ended the call.
Ansel’s angry face flashed through her mind. She shook her head, got rid of unnecessary thoughts, and continued to immerse herself in the paper.
??
The place where they met was the cafe they visited last time.
Not far from University B.
Opening the door, Myrna saw Clyde sitting in the same position as last time.
The man’s back was facing the door. He seemed to be aware of it at this moment. The moment the doorbell rang, he turned his head and looked over.
The coat is at hand, and Clyde is wearing a Gucci business shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple and half of his collarbone.
The little girl at the next table would peek from time to time.
Myrna ignored the looks around her and sat down across from him. Clyde asked her what she wanted to drink.
Myrna was not in the mood for coffee, so she made her intention clear: “I came here to finish what I didn’t finish saying the other day.”
Clyde understood the implication of her words, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said, “Then I also want to say that I meant everything I said.”
Myrna frowned: “Then you should know that I don’t like you and there is no possibility between us.”
Clyde shrugged. “I learned a long time ago that in this world, no one is invincible, and nothing goes smoothly. But the result is good, isn’t it?”
He has always been persistent. Once he sets a goal, he will not give up until it is achieved.
At the same time, he was also very patient and could wait slowly for Myrna to soften.
Just like when Ansel pursued her, he was persistent.
Didn?? t he succeed in getting the beauty in the end?
Ansel can do it, so why can’t he?
