The Young Urban Doctor

“Where have we walked to?” As Luo Ziling carried Yang Qingyin on his back, he turned his head and asked, “You said earlier that you’re very familiar with this place and could be my guide, so you lead the way.”

“I don’t know where we are either, just walk anywhere,” Yang Qingyin cunningly said, blowing a breath of air onto Luo Ziling’s neck.

Luo Ziling immediately felt ticklish and couldn’t help but shrink his neck.

Seeing that Luo Ziling was ticklish, Yang Qingyin blew a few more times, then leaned on his shoulder and giggled.

With a “smack,” Luo Ziling lightly slapped Yang Qingyin’s bottom, threatening, “Stop messing around or I’ll throw you down.”

Yang Qingyin let out a low cry and her face turned red, quickly pinching Luo Ziling, indignantly saying, “How could you hit me?”

“Who told you to cause trouble?” Luo Ziling said as he slapped her lightly again.

“Always bullying me,” Yang Qingyin said, opening her mouth to gently bite Luo Ziling’s neck, then threatening, “If you hit me again, I’ll bite you.”

“Go ahead and bite,” Luo Ziling pinched her leg mischievously, and turned his face towards her with a smirk, “If you dare bite, see how I’ll punish you.”

Having her leg pinched by Luo Ziling, Yang Qingyin couldn’t help but tremble, her face flushing even deeper.

She really bit down on Luo Ziling’s shoulder, and when Luo Ziling cried out in pain, she quickly released her grip and pecked his lips.

After taking the initiative to kiss Luo Ziling, Yang Qingyin’s heart raced, her face turned even redder, and her neck felt as if it were on fire.

Overwhelmed with shyness, she hugged Luo Ziling’s neck and laid her head on his shoulder, daring not look at him.

Luo Ziling stood still, having forgotten to move his feet.

He had never dreamed that Yang Qingyin would take the initiative to kiss him. When he felt a jolt like an electric shock from the contact between their lips, he was stunned, his mind once again a blur.

“She kissed me, she actually took the initiative to kiss me,” although the contact between their lips lasted for only a fraction of a second, and could scarcely be described as a “kiss,” more fittingly a “peck,” the excitement and thrill in Luo Ziling’s heart was beyond words.

This was an indication of affection initiated by Yang Qingyin, and Luo Ziling felt like he was floating on air.

“Let’s go, are you planning to stand here and be gawked at?” Seeing Luo Ziling forget to step forward, Yang Qingyin pinched him again.

Only then did Luo Ziling come back to his senses and hurriedly proceeded forth.

In the blink of an eye, he was back on Dashilan Main Street, spotting the majestic front gate not far away.

“Eh, did we just walk in a circle?” He asked Yang Qingyin in surprise, “Did I take the wrong road?”

“It’s not that you took the wrong road, you’ve just become silly,” Yang Qingyin said with a red face, leaning on Luo Ziling’s shoulder.

“Alright, my IQ needs recharging,” Luo Ziling chuckled and asked Yang Qingyin, “Do you know where can I recharge my intelligence, Yang?”

“Smooth talker,” Yang Qingyin struggled down from Luo Ziling’s back, taking the opportunity to adjust the hair in front of her forehead to hide her bashfulness. Without daring to look at Luo Ziling, she pointed ahead, “That way is the subway station, let’s go back from there.”

“Okay,” Luo Ziling chuckled twice and then took Yang Qingyin’s hand and walked forward.

He hadn’t fully come around yet; although he saw the front gate tower, he was confused as to which direction to go to find the subway station. It was Yang Qingyin who pulled him around a few corners before they finally found the subway station.

“Senior, as a kid who grew up in the countryside, I’m not very familiar with the city roads and I easily get lost. You have to cut me some slack,” Luo Ziling joked earnestly upon seeing the subway station, “But I hope Senior won’t trick me into being sold, as boys aren’t valuable.”

“Are you implying that girls are valuable and can be tricked into being sold?” Yang Qingyin turned to look at Luo Ziling with a dissatisfied expression.

The blush on her face hadn’t completely faded, and her eyes turned shyly reproachful yet captivating as she gazed at Luo Ziling, making his eyes go wide.

“What are you looking at?” Yang Qingyin, blushing yet again under Luo Ziling’s bold gaze, couldn’t help but spit out in protest, “Didn’t you say I was an ‘ugly monster’? What’s there to look at?”

“Ugly monster tastes quite good, you know. I just had a sample,” Luo Ziling said, grinning broadly.

“You annoying guy,” Yang Qingyin complained, pretending to hit Luo Ziling, “always making fun of me.”

Luo Ziling quickly caught her hand and nodded towards the side with his mouth, “Look, everyone’s watching us. Someone might come to my defense in a minute, ‘beauty saves the hero’ style.”

“So you know all the beauties like to save you. Are you happy now?” Yang Qingyin, blushing, let go of his hand and pulled Luo Ziling to start running ahead, “Hurry up, if we don’t move we’ll become internet sensations.”

She noticed quite a few people were taking out their phones to capture their playfighting, and couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

Luo Ziling didn’t continue the roughhousing and ran with her to the subway station entrance.

As the two rode down the escalator side by side, Luo Ziling asked quietly, “Tired?”

“Not tired,” Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling’s finger, smiling happily, “With the guidance of my junior, my fitness has improved, and I’m not as frail as before.”

“Then keep up the good work. I hope next time I can see you running across the plateau.”

“You’re planning on taking me to the highlands again?”

“How about a trip to Qinghai and Tibet?” Luo Ziling turned his head to Yang Qingyin, “The scenery there is beautiful, with a different style from Xinjiang. I really want to go.”

Yang Qingyin immediately responded with excitement, “Then you have to take me on a road trip there. We could drive into Tibet via the Sichuan-Tibet Highway and then out on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. I’ve always wanted to go but never had the chance.”

“Let’s head to the grasslands first,” Luo Ziling suggested, then mysteriously added to Yang Qingyin, “I’ve done my homework, our trip to the Bashang Grassland will definitely be great.”

“Mhmm,” Yang Qingyin agreed without any hesitation, “So do we leave on the afternoon of September 30th or the morning of October 1st?”

“Either is fine, you can decide.”

After taking the subway back to the school, it was already past nine o’clock.

Luo Ziling considerately told Yang Qingyin to head back to her dorm and get some sleep to avoid being tired.

Yang Qingyin agreed tenderly and said if Luo Ziling was free tomorrow night, she would treat him to a big meal.

Luo Ziling naturally wouldn’t refuse.

After they parted ways, Yang Qingyin didn’t head back to her dorm immediately but came down from the apartment building again.

She was waiting for someone.
