59 Pick Up

After settling the family matters, Guo Miao and Sheng Guang set off for the capital.

Sheng Guang’s treatment had recently reached a critical stage and often needed Guo Miao’s physiotherapy, so he decided to return to Beijing with her for a while.

It was the end of the year, and Sheng Guang wanted to be reunited with his family.

When the Sheng family found out that Sheng Guang’s doctor was going to the capital, they immediately started to organize things and even sent someone to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, when Sheng Xun called Tong Pei over for dinner, Tong Pei would know that Guo Miao was coming to the capital and even specifically insisted on picking her up.

When Guo Miao came out of the airport, she saw Tong Pei who was casually dressed.

He wasn’t wearing his usual suit today, and his hair wasn’t combed up. He only wore a simple black denim jacket, and his hair was let down. He looked like a gentle boy-next-door.

Tong Huan, who was standing at the side, was holding pastries and drinks in his hands.

Sheng Guang’s vision had improved a lot recently, and he could make out people’s figures vaguely.

“Tong Pei, why are you the one picking me up today? Didn’t I ask my brother to pick me up?”

“I still owe your brother a favor, so I accepted the job on his behalf.” Even though Tong Pei was talking to Sheng Guang, his eyes were fixed on Guo Miao.

Guo Miao was wearing a thick white fur coat with a black woolen skirt inside. She was also wearing leggings and furry boots. Her face was shrouded in the scarf, making her resemble a cute deer in the forest.

“Why are you staring at my doctor when you’re talking to me?” Sheng Guang expressed his dissatisfaction.

At this time, Tong Pei finally reacted and looked into Sheng Guang’s eyes. “You can see now?”

Sheng Guang nodded. During this period, his eyes recovered at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. Two days ago, he could still make out vague figures, but after these two days, he could already see the rough outline of a person.

Tong Pei hurriedly thanked Guo Miao. “I’m really grateful to you. It must have been hard on you to help Sheng Guang’s eyes to recover.”

“No need for thanks.” Guo Miao shook her head.

She had been in contact with Tong Pei during this period of time. The two of them would chat for a while when they had nothing to do, but they rarely talked about Sheng Guang.

“I bought a latte and some snacks. The hotel food is ready. You can eat some snacks on the way.” Tong Pei handed her the snack in his hand.

“Where’s mine?” Sheng Guang said in dissatisfaction.

Tong Pei also handed him a cup of carrot juice. “Guo Miao said that you’re still recuperating, so you should drink more vitamins to supplement your health.”

Sheng Guang put the straw to his mouth and almost spat it out. He hated carrot juice the most.

The group got into the car happily.

Tong Pei had bought a chocolate toffee latte for Guo Miao. Although it was very sweet, Guo Miao didn’t feel sick of it at all. Instead, she thought that the chocolate was delicious.

The desserts were refreshing on the palate, and they were delicious when paired together.

On the way, Tong Pei asked Guo Miao about her schedule.

Guo Miao planned to stay for a week this time, so that she could spend Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve in Beijing.

Guo Miao was chatting with Tong Pei while gazing out at the scenery of the capital.

It was Christmas Eve, so the streets and alleys of the capital were decorated with Christmas decorations. There were all kinds of Christmas trees at the entrance of large shopping malls, increasing the festivity in the air.

Ningxiang Restaurant, where they had their meal, was also decorated with Christmas decorations.

Everyone took their seats in Ningxiang restaurant, and the waiter soon served soup and a few cold appetizers.

“I’ve already made reservations for a few dishes. See if there’s anything else you want to add.”

Guo Miao took the menu and noticed that the dishes on it were all the same ones she had eaten last time and had declared delicious. Tong Pei’s memory was certainly quite good.

Sheng Guang was a little dissatisfied. He had also come to the capital this time, but his good brother only had eyes for Guo Miao and didn’t care about him at all.

He coughed in dissatisfaction. “Tong Pei, why didn’t you order my favorite foods?”

Tong Pei laughed. “I’ve arranged everything for you according to the previous arrangements. For a VIP of the Ningxiang residence like you, even if I didn’t say anything, the lobby manager would have prepared all your favorite dishes and waited for you to come.”

Guo Miao added two more dishes while listening to the two bickering. She was in a good mood.

When she first met Sheng Guang in the capital, he was so depressed and exuded a sense of despair. Now, he was talking and laughing, and his mood was much better.
