At the thought of this possibility, Xu Qin's expression immediately turned cold.
...
Chen Cheng waited for two minutes, and Xu Qin returned, having changed into a white hooded down jacket.
It looked very warm, but as for fashion...
Well, fashion does not belong to a resident doctor working in an extremely cold region.
Chen Cheng watched her return after changing clothes and expressions, feeling a bit confused.
Xu Qin looked at Chen Cheng, pursing her lips into a forced smile, "The things you brought..."
Chen Cheng's brain worked at lightning speed. After a two-second pause, he lied with a smile on his face, "I left them at your doorstep."
As he spoke, he added, "If... they haven't been visited by thieves yet."
"Pfft~" Xu Qin couldn't hold it in; a smile spread across her lips, though she didn't laugh out loud.
Xu Qin turned her head to look at Chen Cheng's handsome face; this person didn't seem as annoying as those from before.
Smiling, she asked, "You seem to know this place quite well?"
The two walked toward the elevator while chatting.
"I did my postgraduate studies in California, so I've had... a taste of the local 'flavor'?"
"Pfft~" The word "taste" amused them both.
Overseas, the local thugs have a distinct characteristic. Thieving, robbing, trafficking, drug use—they are proficient in everything.
As long as it doesn't affect them personally, Overseas students just treat it like a joke.
If it does affect them, they just have to bite the bullet and accept it; their lives are more important.
Xu Qin suppressed a laugh, "Rochester, Minnesota is very cold in the winter; they probably won't be active at night."
Chen Cheng nodded in agreement. In such cold weather, given the laziness of those local thugs, it was almost impossible for them to come out.
Xu Qin added, "Rochester has very few Black people, and our community is quite nice, so don't worry."
Chen Cheng shrugged; this definitely fit the stereotype.
The two walked into the elevator, and Xu Qin asked, "Chen... Chen... how did you get here?"
Chen Cheng smiled, "Just call me Chen Cheng."
"By plane, from New York."
Xu Qin was stunned. There were several states in between. Making such a long trip completely confirmed her previous suspicion.
This person was someone Fu Wenyin and her aunt had found for her to go on a blind date with.
Although this person didn't seem bad, Xu Qin still felt a bit uncomfortable.
However, she remained polite on the surface and smiled, "That really is a bother for you. Making such a special trip."
Chen Cheng saw her polite demeanor and guessed that she had already figured out the real reason the Old Madam had sent him.
He smiled faintly, "No need to be so polite; the teacher has helped me a lot."
The two reached the first floor and walked out of the hospital lobby.
"It's snowing~"
Chen Cheng paused and turned to look at Xu Qin.
Because Scum Cheng thought of Zhu Zhe, Xu Qin's tone immediately reminded him of 'Zhang Wansen, it's snowing.'
Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head.
Xu Qin withdrew her gaze and looked at Chen Cheng, catching him shaking his head.
She frowned, "Do you not like snow?"
Chen Cheng met her gaze, smiled, and shook his head, "No, I was just wondering how long it's been since I went skiing."
Xu Qin said "Oh," pulled her neck into her collar, turned, and walked toward the parking lot, "Let's go, it's too cold."
"By the way, you didn't drive, right?"
Scum Cheng had already planned to hitch a ride when he said he left the things at her door earlier, "Yeah, I came by car."
A driver drove, and he sat in the back seat; saying it this way wasn't wrong.
Xu Qin pulled her neck in, walking faster and faster, "Then let's walk faster. Hospital parking is tight, and I parked quite far away."
"Okay~"
America is vast and sparsely populated; except for the CBD, other buildings usually have large surface parking lots.
There are pros and cons.
The pro is that they are large and easy to park in.
The con is that it's cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
The two didn't speak anymore; at this moment, any breath taken in was full of cold air.
They walked quickly to Xu Qin's car.
Chen Cheng was stunned; he never expected her to drive this car.
Before him was a black Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
Chen Cheng glanced at Xu Qin, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
Good, good, good; these Overseas students all like to play with contrasts between home and abroad, right?
Abroad, with no one watching, they release their wild side.
Back home with Fu Wenyin watching, they pretend to be gentle and obedient daughters?
Seeing him standing in front of the car door in a daze, Xu Qin asked, "Is there a problem?"
Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head, opened the door, and got into the car.
He was even more interested in this Xu Qin now.
Contrast, after all.
It's the most fun.
While starting the engine, Xu Qin said, "Didn't expect me to drive this car?"
Chen Cheng smiled, "Indeed, it's a little unexpected."
Clearly, the Xu Qin of this world had many differences from the Xu Qin he had watched in the TV series.
However, the TV series didn't show what she was like when she was studying abroad.
Xu Qin smiled faintly, "My family bought me a CT5, but I secretly saved money to buy the Hellcat."
Chen Cheng smiled; he hadn't even thought that Xu Qin would be this talkative.
Thinking of that Maserati at her door, the portrait of Xu Qin was now complete.
This was just someone escaping a repressive environment and secretly releasing her wild side.
However, a Hellcat that costs over a hundred thousand dollars, bought just by saving up a bit.
With a second-year resident's salary, it would take at least two years to save up.
It seems the Meng Family is still sending her living expenses.
That was indeed the case; Fu Wenyin had said, "Save the money you earn yourself; spend the family's money first."
It could be said that they really were spoiling her like their own daughter.
The snow had just started falling, and there was no obvious accumulation on the clean road. Xu Qin was driving fast, right at the speed limit.
Chen Cheng listened to the rapid "cat calls" of the American big V8, and his blood felt like it was pumping.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Tan Zongming.
"In the product line planning, should we add an electric version of an American muscle car?"
"Selling for 300,000 to 500,000, it should have a good market among the younger demographic."
Who knew, Tan Zongming replied in a second.
"Okay, I'll have the team discuss it."
Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "I was just saying it casually."
On the other side of the ocean, Tan Zongming's mouth twitched; when has this kid ever spoken without a plan?
"When are you coming back? See if you can make it before the New Year so we can get together."
"..."
Chen Cheng chatted with Tan Zongming for a few sentences, and soon the car arrived.
Xu Qin took a remote from the car and pressed it toward the garage door.
She turned to look at Chen Cheng, "Wait a moment~"
Chen Cheng smiled and said nothing. The garage door opened completely, and Xu Qin drove the car directly into the garage.
On the left side of the garage was her Cadillac CT5.
After parking, Xu Qin had a faint smile on her face and handed the flowers placed on the center console armrest to Chen Cheng, "Could you help me carry these?"
Chen Cheng took the flowers, unbuckled his seatbelt, and got out of the car.
Xu Qin had already hopped and skipped out of the garage, heading toward the villa entrance.
Just as they entered the courtyard, the headlights had illuminated the two suitcases placed at the door.
Clearly, this was when Chen Cheng had arranged for Chen Guosheng to drop off the cargo while Xu Qin was back at the office changing clothes.
Chen Cheng watched her back, a smile on his lips.
What a huge contrast this was.
In front of Fu Wenyin, Xu Qin wouldn't even talk while eating.
Let alone running.
How could a lady run?
Looking so flustered, what kind of look is that?
