Chapter 581: 580 Xu Boyan: Wives are meant to be spoiled_1
Many people in the medical organization were surprised when Lu Qingyi took a break midway through work. That’s because the Lu Qingyi they knew used to work herself to exhaustion.
Now, she actually pays attention to getting her rest, which really is surprising.
"Doctor, has there been progress with the experiment?"
Xiaoxie approached Lu Qingyi and asked softly.
If Lu Qingyi was taking a break, it probably meant that progress had been made. This was the usual pattern with her - she rested when there was progress, and continued experimenting without rest if there was none.
"Not yet."
Lu Qingyi shook her head, her attention focused on her phone.
Xiaoxie: "..."
This was all too odd. It felt strange.
Could marriage have changed Lu Qingyi? Can marriage truly change a person so much that even their work ethic changes?
"It’s lunch time. Let’s take a break."
Lu Qingyi said, her tone a bit cold, as she simultaneously typed on her keyboard before lifting her head slowly.
Xiaoxie was taken aback, he could hardly believe that these words came from Lu Qingyi.
"We didn’t prepare any lunch."
Xiaoxie replied. Weren’t all researchers known to work around the clock, often so engrossed in their work that they forgot to eat? Most of the time, they each took care of their own lunch, ordering takeouts or grabbing something like bread. Only occasionally, when they weren’t too busy, would they gather for a group lunch.
"Xu Boyan has gone to prepare it."
Lu Qingyi said slowly, nonchalantly.
She had already sent a message to Xu Boyan asking him to prepare extra lunch.
No longer speaking, Xiaoxie went back to conducting his experiment.
He felt thoroughly defeated by these recent developments.
——
The colleagues in the medical organization were pretty much in disbelief at the sight of the full spread of dishes prepared by Xu Boyan.
Those who knew Xu Boyan’s background were absolutely shocked that someone of his stature would actually cook.
Throughout lunch, Xu Boyan was taking care of Lu Qingyi. All she needed to do was eat; her chopsticks never even touched the serving dishes.
They were all envious of Lu Qingyi.
"Stop staring at me all the time."
Lu Qingyi put down her bowl and chopsticks, scanning the group before speaking coldly.
She always had been perceptive. She could feel them constantly watching her, but just didn’t bother to say anything earlier.
"And you, eat your own food."
Next, Lu Qingyi turned to glare at Xu Boyan, speaking coldly again.
When it was just the two of them, anything Xu Boyan did was okay. But now, in public, with everyone’s eyes on her, if Xu Boyan behaved like this, it would inevitably cause embarrassment.
Xu Boyan smiled indulgently, looking fondly at Lu Qingyi.
The entire lunch felt like it was filled with endless moments of sweetness between Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi, which left the colleagues in the medical organization feeling stuffed.
After lunch, Lu Qingyi went for a nap.
Xu Boyan entered the lab.
"Boss Xu, where’s the doctor?"
Xiaojin asked, confused to see Xu Boyan entering alone.
Xu Boyan: "She’s taking a nap."
Xiaojin looked at Xu Boyan, wanting to say something but holding back.
"Where are your medical books?"
Xu Boyan looked around, then asked softly.
"All our books have been organized by Doctor Lu. Many of them are handwritten manuscripts by her."
Xiaojin answered. The manuscripts written by Lu Qingyi were more useful and easily understood than many so-called medical books.
Xu Boyan: "Let me take a look."
Xiaojin handed him a rather basic book, "Boss Xu, are you interested in medicine?"
Xu Boyan: "I wasn’t previously, but I am now."
Listening to Xu Boyan’s words, Xiaojin couldn’t help but feel as if he had just swallowed a mouthful of dog food. Were it not for his good comprehension, he would not have understood the hidden implications behind his words.
"The little girl is tired; I want to share the load."
After a while, Xu Boyan spoke again, a small smile playing on his lips. Every time he spoke about Lu Qingyi, his face lit up in a gentle smile.
It was clear that Xu Boyan truly loved and cared about Lu Qingyi.
Being a man himself, Xiaojin was able to understand Xu Boyan’s feelings. He knew that it was indeed a remarkable thing for Lu Qingyi to end up with Xu Boyan.
"So, you want to study medicine?"
Xiaojin looked at Xu Boyan, surprised.
In Kyoto, there was no one who didn’t know the famous Xu Boyan, they knew that he was always aloof, and there weren’t many people who could catch his attention.
Xu Boyan never cared for other peoples’ opinions and always followed his own path.
"Yes, I want to learn as much as I can. There’s nothing that can’t be learned."
Xu Boyan ended with a gentle smile.
He had learned to eat spicy food for Lu Qingyi, had learned to cook for her, and had done many things that he would have never done before - learning medicine was just another thing he could do for her.
It was admittedly harder than anything he had done before.
Xiaojin gave Xu Boyan a thumbs-up, "Boss Xu, you’ve completely reshaped my impression of you."
Everyone knew Xu Boyan to be cold-hearted, unyielding, and domineering.
But the Xu Boyan standing before him now was filled with affection and tenderness towards his loved one. He seemed pleasant to hang out with, was quite gentle when he smiled, and was even willing to do something he wasn’t good at for his loved one.
Clearly, rumors couldn’t be trusted all the time.
"Wives are meant to be spoiled."
Xu Boyan looked up and said slowly.
He had married his sweetheart, hoping to spoil her and give her the best life possible. He wanted to present to Lu Qingyi the best things in the world, making her life the envy of all.
"Doctor Lu is really lucky to have met you."
Xiaojin said. Lu Qingyi was good, but she was too lonely. Someone as icy as Lu also needed to be cherished.
"No, I am the lucky one to have met her in this lifetime."
Xu Boyan shook his head and smiled.
Everyone’s perspective differs. Some think that Lu Qingyi is the lucky one for having met him; while others think that he is the lucky one for having met her.
But from his perspective, meeting Lu Qingyi was the luckiest thing to have happened to him. He truly considered himself to be very lucky.
"Continue with your work, don’t let me disturb you. If you need me, I’ll be right here."
Xiaojin spoke slowly before heading off to continue his research.
There was still a lot to be done. The one-week deadline promised by Lu Qingyi was approaching faster than they would have liked.
After Xiaojin left, Xu Boyan started reading, with deep focus. Only by understanding theoretical knowledge could he apply it practically.
Everyone inside the lab was busy with their work. After being informed by Xiaojin about Xu Boyan’s intentions, Xiaoxie and the others expressed their admiration and blessings for him.
