It just so happened to be the lunch break, and the hospital was closed for the time being. Chen Xiang took Li Fei and Chen Feng to a small eatery outside the hospital for a simple meal. Originally she wanted to visit a fancier restaurant, but Li Fei persuaded her against it. After all, everyone came from ordinary families with average salaries. There was no need to put on a facade and waste that kind of money. Actually, dining at a small eatery was pretty good—not only was it affordable, but the food was also passable. Besides, I'm easygoing when it comes to food; as long as it's free, I'm OK!
The three of them ate together without any constraints, chatting as they ate. Li Fei and Chen Xiang got along extremely well, like old friends who had known each other for ages, hitting it off right from the start. There wasn't a hint of awkwardness or restraint, which surprised Chen Feng. His sister was overly enthusiastic towards Li Fei—it was a bit out of character!
