21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 174 Girlfriend, Going Home for New Year's (2nd Update)

Chen Yu promised that he could heal his own sister, which undoubtedly made Doctor Higashiyama overjoyed. A mere lunch naturally wouldn't make him feel uneasy. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave the hospital at noon and could only eat in the hospital's cafeteria, Doctor Higashiyama would have even considered treating Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi to a lavish meal.

"Sorry, Professor Chen, I have limited time at noon and can only invite you to the cafeteria," said Doctor Higashiyama, who felt very apologetic for only being able to offer a cafeteria meal to Chen Yu, especially when he himself was eating a packed lunch he brought from home.

"It's okay! Mr. Chen Yu was only joking about asking you to treat us to a meal," Hiromi Jounouchi reassured Doctor Higashiyama with a smile. At the same time, she curiously looked at the elegant boxed lunch in front of him and asked, "Doctor Higashiyama, who made your lunch? It looks amazing!"

"Mie-chan made it, she still thinks the food at our hospital isn't good enough," Doctor Higashiyama replied, somewhat shyly yet with a touch of happiness, when Hiromi Jounouchi asked him about it.

"Have you already started calling her Mie-chan? Doctor Higashiyama, you really do make people envious! A man about to get married, tsk tsk tsk!" Chen Yu chuckled upon hearing Doctor Higashiyama's words, teasing him, but he sincerely blessed the relationship between Doctor Higashiyama and Hanayama Mikie, "When is your wedding scheduled? Remember to send me an invitation!"

Doctor Higashiyama's face turned as red as a monkey's butt when he heard Chen Yu say that, but still shyly continued, "The wedding is set for next month. She hopes to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon and spend Christmas there."

"Next month? That's indeed close to Christmas." Chen Yu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, surprised at how quickly the year had nearly passed.

"Yes, so Mie-chan hopes to get the wedding done within this year and then go to Hawaii for our honeymoon to celebrate Christmas and New Year." Doctor Higashiyama, talking about his wedding, couldn't help but radiate happiness from his face, which was quite enviable.

However, while happily talking about his own wedding, Doctor Higashiyama still remembered the purpose of his visit today, "Since Keika is my only sister, Mie-chan and I both hope she can attend our wedding. But ever since the car accident, Keika has disliked going out and is reluctant to interact with people..."

"Understood, please rest assured, Professor. I will prepare well," Doctor Higashiyama quickly assured Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen Yu, are you jealous that Doctor Higashiyama has someone to make lunch for him?" After lunch, while walking to the office, Hiromi Jounouchi suddenly looked at Chen Yu and asked teasingly.

"Jealous? Why? Hiromi, it's not like you have never made lunch for me, why would I be jealous of him?" Chen Yu felt a bit perplexed and found it funny; he had a girlfriend who made lunch for him, so there was no reason to be envious of others.

Hearing Chen Yu speak so matter-of-factly, Hiromi Jounouchi couldn't help but smile even more, and teasingly asked, "But she's a famous beauty and a chef, ideal in both culinary skills and looks as a marriage partner in men's eyes. Compared to her, I'm just a surgeon and anesthesiologist. Don't you wish to marry a wife as virtuous as her, Mr. Chen Yu?"

"Why would I wish for that? My girlfriend is you, Hiromi, and the one I want to marry is you. In terms of cooking, the dishes you make fit my taste the most, and in appearance, I don't think you lose to anyone.

Having you as my wonderful girlfriend, why should I envy someone else's fiancée?" Chen Yu drew Hiromi Jounouchi into his arms directly, gazing at his girlfriend and speaking such intoxicating sweet nothings to her.

"You always know just what to say!" Hiromi Jounouchi playfully pushed Chen Yu, yet still comfortably allowed herself to be held in his embrace: "Mr. Chen Yu, how do you plan to spend New Year's this year? Do you need me to accompany you home?"

"For New Year's, the timing is different in Japan and the Celestial Empire. I'll spend New Year's in Japan with you, and when it's Chinese New Year, we can both take leave and go back together," Chen Yu considered for a moment, then decided to take his girlfriend home for the New Year.
