The Young Urban Doctor

“Ziling, have you returned to school?” The voice of Ouyang Feifei was a bit gentle, quite unlike her usual unflustered demeanor.

“I just got back to school and was getting ready to take a shower!” Luo Ziling responded truthfully.

“I have a social engagement tonight, so, could you treat me this afternoon?” Ouyang Feifei sounded somewhat apologetic, “I might be busy the next two days and won’t have time for your treatment. What do you think?”

Luo Ziling felt a wave of frustration inside. He had just agreed to go see the beautiful teacher for English tutoring, and now Ouyang Feifei was calling. After thinking for a moment, he replied, “How about this, let me see and get back to you in a bit. I was just about to shower.”

“Okay then,” Ouyang Feifei didn’t say much else, “I’ll wait for your call.”

After hanging up with Ouyang Feifei, Luo Ziling immediately called Chen Wanqing.

“Miss Chen, I am really sorry, but I have to go out to treat someone and won’t be able to come for the English tutoring this afternoon. How about I come over after I’m done with the treatment?” Luo Ziling said apologetically over the phone.

He was worried the beautiful teacher might be upset, seeing as he was going back on his word.

“No problem,” to Luo Ziling’s surprise, Chen Wanqing didn’t mind at all and magnanimously said, “You’re busy with something important, so go ahead, treating patients is a priority. Give me a call when you’re free. Or, you could come over for dinner after treating the patient, how does that sound?”

Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief but was too embarrassed to go over for dinner, “Miss Chen, how about I come over after I’ve had dinner?”

“It’s fine, I’m just by myself anyway, having company for dinner would be nice,” Chen Wanqing’s voice was gentle and carried a soothing comfort that was indescribably pleasant to hear.

Luo Ziling surrendered to that voice right away, no longer outright refusing, “Let’s see how it goes then.”

“I’ll go buy some groceries in preparation for your arrival. My cooking skills are quite good; you’ll definitely fall for the food I make,” Chen Wanqing said with a chuckle.

“Thank you then, Miss Chen,” Luo Ziling, feeling it would be too ungrateful to refuse again, decided, “If I can make it for dinner, I will definitely come over.”

“Great, I will wait for you,” Chen Wanqing said, and hung up the phone first.

Facing such an enthusiastic and caring beautiful teacher, Luo Ziling felt a warm feeling in his heart and quite fortunate.

Of course, he had no idea that he was stepping into a tender trap set by the “very nice” beautiful teacher, who had unspoken motives.

Luo Ziling quickly called Ouyang Feifei to have her come over right now and pick him up.

Ouyang Feifei told Luo Ziling that she had asked Wang Qing to pick him up and that he should just wait at the school gate.

Luo Ziling hurriedly tidied up his things, changed into the clothes Ling Ruonan had prepared for him, and after making sure he looked irresistibly handsome in the mirror, he left the dormitory, quite pleased with himself.

As he was leaving the dorm, he ran into Li Fuming, who had just returned, carrying a bag.

“Boss, where are you off to?” Just back from his hometown and carrying lots of local products, Li Fuming excitedly stopped Luo Ziling, “I’m back, what about the others?”

“They haven’t returned yet; I’ve been alone in the dorm these past couple of days,” Luo Ziling gave Li Fuming a once-over, “You look pretty tired, go rest up. I’m going out to see a patient, someone is waiting for me at the school entrance. I’ll chat with you when I get back tonight.”

“Go ahead, go ahead,” Li Fuming graciously waved his hand, “It’s okay if you don’t come back tonight. I just don’t know if you’ve brought any beauties back to the dorm these days, I need to check it out. Make sure you haven’t left any of a girl’s little things, like panties or lingerie, lying around.”

“Screw off,” Luo Ziling laughed and cursed back, “A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory, go get some rest.”

“I brought some local specialties from home; let’s eat them together when I return,” Li Fuming called out to Luo Ziling’s retreating figure.

Li Fuming’s words instantly warmed Luo Ziling’s heart, and he turned back to wave at Li Fuming, “I’ll definitely come back and eat with you, save some for me.”

When Luo Ziling arrived at the school gate, Wang Qing’s car had just arrived.

An unremarkable Ford SUV pulled up, with Wang Qing wearing a pair of cool sunglasses at the wheel. Luo Ziling almost didn’t recognize him.

After getting into the car, Luo Ziling asked with a smile, “Where are you taking me? The same villa as last time?”

“Yes,” Wang Qing nodded, “The miss is already there.”

“You don’t get days off for National Day, huh?” Luo Ziling made conversation.

Actually, Luo Ziling was a boy who liked to talk to people. When he was in a small mountain village in the Northwest, he always felt lonely and his greatest wish was to have a playmate around his own age to chat with.

This desire lingered until now; when alone with someone, if there was nothing to talk about, he would feel rather awkward.

“We don’t have holiday arrangements,” Wang Qing replied patiently, “If the miss has something to do, then I have something to do.”

“That sounds tough.”

Wang Qing didn’t reply further.

Luo Ziling couldn’t think of anything else to say and thus remained silent as well.

Just then, a message from Yang Qingyin came in, and Luo Ziling quickly opened it to read.

“Junior, I talked about some things with Qingye this morning. It seems I misunderstood him a bit, he really wants to help us.”

“When should I chat with your twin brother and get closer to him?” Luo Ziling added a few happy smiley faces.

“I’m at my grandfather’s ancestral home. My grandfather is chatting with my dad, and I’m a bit bored on my own. What are you up to?”

“Just finished treating someone and am about to go treat another person. This evening, I’m also planning to get some English tuition.”

“English tuition?” Yang Qingyin seemed very surprised, “Who are you getting English tuition from?”

“A teacher from our school named Chen Wanqing, apparently arranged by the department head. She’s a very enthusiastic teacher and even invited me to have dinner at her house tonight. I just don’t know how to refuse.” Luo Ziling added a few awkward expressions.

“Hehe, a beautiful teacher yo.” Yang Qingyin replied with a message, followed by several shameless laughing emoticons.

Then immediately another message, “Why didn’t you say you wanted to get English tuition, when I, your senior sister, have English skills good enough to work as a translator?”

“Eh?! Really? Why didn’t you tell me sooner!”

“You never asked! But since there’s a beautiful teacher willing to teach you, you don’t need your senior sister.” Several rolling-eye emoticons showed Yang Qingyin was still in a good mood.

“Then I should still try to learn from my senior sister.”

“The beautiful teacher isn’t needed anymore?”

“Cao Jianhui says Miss Chen is dangerous, and who knows, she might eat me alive one day!”

“You would probably like to be eaten by her!”

“Senior sister, you’re evil!”

“Aren’t you the same in your heart??”

“Not as evil as senior sister!”

As he exchanged messages with Yang Qingyin, the car drove into Ouyang Feifei’s villa.
