Luo Ziling whispered into Yang Qingyin’s ears.
And a light shade of red colored her cheeks, prompting her to retract her hand from his fingers.
Luo Ziling didn’t move his hand away after feeling her pulse, his three fingers still in contact with her wrist.
He had wanted to pull his hand back originally. He didn’t want to be rude although he felt like holding her hand.
Yang Qingyin was not annoyed after she pulled her hand back in a hurry. She glanced at Luo Ziling curiously. “It seems that you’re good at medicine. You really come from a family of physicians. But…why are you here to learn clinical medicine?”
Luo Ziling smirked. “I didn’t know what you’re studying but you know I’m here to study medicine. That’s not fair.”
“There are many posts on the campus forum related to you. Haven’t you noticed?” Yang Qingyin tilted her head and asked in disbelief.
‘Forum? Post?’ Luo Ziling really wanted to ask what those were. However, his questions never left his lips as he was afraid Yang Qingyin would despise him for his lack of “common” knowledge. He smiled sheepishly. “I never noticed. I know nothing about that.”
“You said that my physical health is poor. How do I cure it?”
“Have regular dieting habits, eat on time, and practise having a balanced diet. These will improve your health. Otherwise, I can give you a prescription. If you follow my advice and consume it for half a month, you’ll become healthier. Prevention is better than cure. So, daily conditioning is crucial. You must remember that treatment is the last resort.”
“Why can’t it be completely cured?” Yang Qingyin was curious about how he managed to diagnose her problem. She couldn’t help asking another question.
“I mean that you will only fully recover after changing your daily habits for a period of time while consuming medication. However, the other problem I mentioned just now could be quickly cured with the combination of medicine and additional acupuncture or massage. I could teach you several acupuncture points and you could massage yourself at any time.” Not giving Yang Qingyin any time to question further, Luo Ziling told her those acupuncture points and the method of massaging.
“I’ll know how good your medical skill is after half a month.” She flashed him another charming smile.
Her behavior that night would definitely surprise those who knew her.
She always behaved cool and calm, rarely smiling at others. Who knew that a reserved goddess would smile at a guy again and again. One might be upset and suffer from insomnia from being heartbroken and depressed if one saw that scene.
Had the goddess fallen from grace? Or was the person she was facing her Mr. Perfect? Both reasons were equally painful.
Why doesn’t she show them her brilliant smile? Guys must wonder about this.
“You won’t need half a month. You will feel the change in two days. That is, if you follow my advice. The prescription was created by my grandpa. It has never been ineffective so far.”
His grandfather had told him before that he would have no worries in his future life with this prescription.
“I’ve remembered it. I’ll follow your advice.” Yang Qingyin walked a step closer to Luo Ziling, raised her head and looked at him. “I have to go now. I’ve decided to add a portion of meat for my dinner due to your advice.”
“How about I treat you to a meal?”
“I’ll treat you when you cure me!” Yang Qingyin said in a lively manner.
“Well. Oh! Here’s another suggestion. Do more exercises and keep fit.” Luo Ziling stopped smiling and spoke to Yang Qingyin seriously. “Your health condition is too poor. I think of Pin’er when I see you.”
“Pin’er?”
“Sister Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber1.”
“What if a strong wind blows me into Wuming Lake?”
Looking at Yang Qingyin telling a joke with a serious face, Luo Ziling solemnly answered. “I could blow you to the lakeside too.”
“You could also blow a cow into the sky!” Yang Qingyin was amused by Luo Ziling again.
Luo Ziling was completely captivated by her charming smile.
“I have to go.” Waving to the distracted Luo Ziling without setting a time or date for their next meeting, she tilted her head and smiled at him one last time before leaving.
Similarly to the previous time, Luo Ziling stood at his original position and finally only walked away after seeing Yang Qingyi’s figure become smaller in the distance.
The sky had begun to darken and lights started to illuminate the streets. People who didn’t want to show their whereabouts under the sun, couples who intended to hug and kiss in the dark, or couples who wanted to do something secretly, appeared at night.
Luo Ziling saw a lot of couples holding hands or hugging, doing things that would make one blush when they passed by.
Luo Ziling even heard some sounds that made his heart rate increase.
He quickly left the lakeside and walked to the direction of the field through the trail in the woods. He needed to calm down. It was too early for him to return to the hostel.
Just as he started following the trail, he noticed a person blocking his way.
He realized that it was the good-looking guy who had somewhat amicably left Yang Qingyin’s side upon his appearance. He couldn’t help but envy his handsomeness.
“Are you Luo Ziling?” The guy asked him, with obvious unfriendliness in his eyes.
“That’s me. How can I help you?” Luo Ziling had a guess as to why the guy was blocking his path, but he tested the waters first by throwing out a rather simple question instead of confronting him.
“Nothing. However, I hope you know your place. Don’t think you can do anything with Qingyin. It’s not worth the trouble.” The guy didn’t introduce himself but directly told him his thoughts. “She is my girlfriend. I hope you are not despicable enough to snatch another person’s girl.”
Irritation built up within Luo Ziling when he heard the words as his tone was threatening and ridiculous. He looked at the guy indifferently and replied impolitely, “Who you think you are? I don’t know you. And I’m not interested in knowing you either. It’s my freedom to choose who to befriend. I don’t need you to interfere.”
The good impression he had of this handsome and noble guy before was now gone the moment he threatened him like that.
‘Who the f*ck do you think you are? How dare you order me around like this? You think you are my grandpa?’ This was what Luo Ziling was thinking at that moment.
He understood what was going on. The guy in front of him must be pursuing Yang Qingyin but she must have not reciprocated his feelings.
Otherwise, this guy wouldn’t have blocked his path to relay such words to him. It was obviously from the lack of confidence.
If the two were really a couple, Yang Qingyin wouldn’t have told him to leave and the guy wouldn’t need to speak so sarcastically.
Luo Ziling relaxed with those thoughts.
Cao Jianhui had told him that the number one campus belle, Yang Qingyin, was single. Chubby Cao’s information shouldn’t be wrong.
The guy was not expecting Luo Ziling to be so arrogant as he didn’t give him any face. He couldn’t help being angry.
However, being well-educated stopped him from showing his anger. With a slightly softer tone than before, he said, “I hope you will think it through. You have no idea who she is. She is way out of your league. If you continue to be arrogant and close to her, trouble may come to you one day. You might even be forced to leave Yenching University and never have the chance to study here anymore.”
“I don’t need your concern.” Luo Ziling was more indifferent than he was. He rudely continued, “Who I choose to hang out with and who she chooses to interact with has nothing to do with you.”
“Hmph!”
Seeing Luo Ziling’s stubbornness, the guy couldn’t bear it anymore. He snorted loudly and stormed off in a huff.
Luo Ziling thought of the other good-looking guy next to Ouyang Huihui the other day as he saw the back of this angry guy. A strange thought entered his mind.
It seemed like there were always suitors around beautiful girls. Interacting with those girls was an act likely to offend many of their admirers. However, it was annoying to have so many flies in their surroundings.
However, he didn’t care at all. He hadn’t been afraid of anyone aside from his grandfather since young!
