The Young Urban Doctor

The department heads, who had also hoped to get some screen time on television, took their leave from Clinical Medicine Class One’s classroom after hearing what Chen Xiaoyi said.

Inside the classroom, the lesson was still going on, but many students were no longer captivated by Miss He’s engrossing lecture, instead paying attention to what was happening outside.

“Let’s talk over there,” said Chen Xiaoyi with a smile, gesturing invitingly to Luo Ziling once the department heads had left, and added reassuringly, “Don’t be nervous, we’re just going to have a casual chat.”

“Actually, there’s not much to say,” Luo Ziling wasn’t nervous, just unsure of how to talk to a stranger. He smiled at Chen Xiaoyi and said, “The truth is, anyone who encountered that situation that day would have lend a hand to help.”

“But on that day, Yintai Department Store was extremely crowded, and no one else stepped forward to help. You were the one who pushed through the crowd to reach the falling child. If it hadn’t been for the people in front of you, blocking your way, you wouldn’t have been injured,” Chen Xiaoyi looked at Luo Ziling with her beautiful, expressive, yet somewhat aggressive eyes, speaking rapidly.

“You saved the life of a baby who had been in this world for barely a hundred days and rescued the happiness of a whole family. Their relatives are looking for you, their lifesaver, and our society needs many more positive actions like yours,” Chen Xiaoyi gestured with her hand, “So, we hope to publicize your heroic act through our channels, to let more people know about it, and to encourage others to bravely offer help when they see someone in need, rather than being mere onlookers or backing away.”

Facing Chen Xiaoyi’s assertive arguments, Luo Ziling actually found himself at a loss for words.

After a pause, he could only give a wry smile and said, “There really isn’t much to talk about. At that moment, I didn’t think at all, I just felt I should rush forward to catch the falling child.”

Speaking of which, Luo Ziling smiled at Chen Xiaoyi, who had been staring at him, “Falling from such a height, if the child had hit the hard ground directly, there would have been almost no chance of survival, so, I reached out my hand.”

Luo Ziling’s brilliant smile left Chen Xiaoyi momentarily stunned, her momentum weakening slightly, but she quickly responded, “That’s good, what you just said is exactly the kind of personal perspective we want to capture in our interview. When people see someone in need of help or rescue, if passersby can step forward without hesitation, then social attitudes can improve. If our society can reach a point where an elderly person falls and people dare to help, where a child takes a fall and people don’t just stand by but are willing to lend a hand, then our society will become more civilized and advanced.”

Although Chen Xiaoyi’s words were somewhat preachy, paired with her attractive face and extraordinary demeanor, they didn’t make Luo Ziling feel uncomfortable, and he even found himself somewhat in agreement.

He didn’t refuse any further and agreed, albeit a bit shyly, “Alright then, how would you like to conduct the interview?”

“Let’s go over there, find a quiet place; you can just repeat what you’ve said just now. Don’t say insincere things; we want you to express your genuine thoughts, that’ll be enough,” said Chen Xiaoyi, who also revealed a radiant smile, “You’re very handsome, very photogenic, you don’t need makeup to surpass all our station’s male hosts.”

Luo Ziling was taken aback by the beautiful reporter’s sudden comment, blushing a bit after a moment of surprise.

Being praised directly by a beautiful woman, and in such a heartening manner, Luo Ziling felt somewhat elated.

He believed he indeed was handsome because his mother was beautiful, his father was handsome, so his genetic inheritance was excellent.

And everyone thought he was good-looking.

Several women have said this about him, and now another beautiful journalist was praising him, even comparing him to the male hosts on television.

Luo Ziling occasionally watched TV and knew that those male hosts were quite handsome.

In Chen Xiaoyi’s eyes, he was actually better-looking than those handsome hosts, so he suddenly felt more favorable towards this beautiful journalist.

Consequently, Luo Ziling went with the TV station’s interview crew to the small woods near the teaching building, ready to be interviewed. As he walked, he glanced back unintentionally and the sight startled him.

People were crowding at the windows of every floor of the teaching building, just like the day Ouyang Feifei had come to the school to find him. Some even had binoculars. Luo Ziling felt incredibly embarrassed, and it looked like his “exploits” would once again be a hot topic on the school forum.

After finding a brightly lit spot, Chen Xiaoyi, microphone in hand, professionally inquired about the details of that day, what Luo Ziling had thought while saving people, how he knew medical skills at such a young age, and that he had stayed only until he had treated two injured children before leaving.

Chen Xiaoyi unexpectedly asked several extra questions, and Luo Ziling was surprised, but he answered truthfully nonetheless.

The interview went smoothly, lasting for about fifteen minutes.

Afterwards, Chen Xiaoyi curiously asked Luo Ziling, “If you’ve studied traditional medicine, why did you come to Medical University?”

“Take the best of each, to compensate for their shortcomings,” Luo Ziling replied with a radiant smile, “Integrating traditional Chinese medicine, one can become a great master. That’s what my grandfather taught me.”

“Alright then,” Chen Xiaoyi extended her hand towards Luo Ziling, “I wish you success in becoming a true medical master.”

Faced with a beautiful woman offering her hand, Luo Ziling didn’t want to seem rude and shook it, saying, “Thank you for the encouragement.”

Chen Xiaoyi’s skin was very smooth, and her fingers were long, but holding her hand wasn’t as comfortable as holding Yang Qingyin’s, Luo Ziling concluded immediately.

Chen Xiaoyi didn’t let go of his hand right away but smiled again and said, “You have a caring heart, and only a healer with a caring heart is qualified to become an outstanding doctor.”

“Thank you,” Luo Ziling sincerely responded.

Chen Xiaoyi gave Luo Ziling her mobile number and WeChat, also asking for his contact information, saying that they could get in touch directly for any future matters.

After adding Chen Xiaoyi on WeChat, Luo Ziling was quite puzzled.

Why are beautiful women so enthusiastic these days?

Hadn’t Cao Jianhui always said that it was difficult to get the contact details of pretty women?
