THE YOUNG URBAN DOCTOR

Chapter 699: Chapter 699: The Proactive and Bold Girl

(First update)

While having lunch, Chen Xiaoyi received several phone calls from colleagues, inquiring about the editing of the television program.

Chen Xiaoyi had no choice but to say that she would return to the station soon and they could discuss the editing after she got back.

“I originally wanted to take you out for some fun, since it’s rare to run into you, but I need to go back to check on the program editing, so next time it is,” Chen Xiaoyi said regretfully to Luo Ziling after taking a call, “How about this, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight and then take you out for fun?”

“I’m really sorry, I have plans tonight,” Luo Ziling quickly explained, seeing Chen Xiaoyi’s expression turn from enthusiastic to dim after he spoke, “An old teacher of ours is taking me to visit a famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. We had arranged it yesterday, and after several delays, I feel bad to refuse again. So, I won’t be able to have dinner with you.”

As Luo Ziling spoke, he showed Chen Xiaoyi the time and place for his meeting with that renowned doctor, sent by Wang Tongshan on his phone, and, worried that Chen Xiaoyi would invite him out for the weekend, he preemptively mentioned his weekend plans, “I have to help Fang Dongxun with his treatment tomorrow at noon, and in the evening, I need to treat two of my relatives. I’ve also run into some troublesome matters recently that I need to sort out first. As for going out, let’s talk about that later, okay?”

Seeing Luo Ziling speaking sincerely and actually seeing the message from someone named Wang Tongshan on his phone, most of the frustration in Chen Xiaoyi’s heart dissipated.

“By the way, winter break is less than two months away, do you have any plans?” Chen Xiaoyi changed the subject, casually saying, “I’m planning to go to Qiong Island or Maldives for vacation during the winter break, it’s too cold in Yanjing. Will you come? If you do, we could keep each other company, it’d be mutually beneficial.”

“I haven’t decided yet,” Luo Ziling said a bit awkwardly, “I was actually planning to go home to spend time with my grandfather during the break, as he’s alone at home. I’ve also talked to my classmates about traveling down south, but how it all ends up, I don’t know yet. I’ll decide when it’s closer to the break. I’m worried that if I make plans now and something comes up later, it would be pretty embarrassing.”

Hearing Luo Ziling say so, Chen Xiaoyi sensed an opportunity and immediately smiled, “Well then, let’s discuss it again when it’s closer to the break. You have medical skills and you’re highly skilled in martial arts, so if I could travel with you, there’s nothing to worry about. If you are free then, I’ll cover the expenses, and you can be my temporary bodyguard and health consultant. It’d be really rude to refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman to travel together, wouldn’t it?”

Chen Xiaoyi was bold in her actions and words, and although Luo Ziling quite liked interacting with girls of her personality, he felt considerable pressure because he was already emotionally involved with Yang Qingyin. So, he could only delicately respond, “Let’s talk about it then. I’m afraid to promise you now and then back out later; that would be too embarrassing.”

“Sure!” Chen Xiaoyi, not one to mince words, cheerfully agreed, “If there’s somewhere you’d like to go, I can also go along with your plans.”

“I’m really under a lot of pressure,” Luo Ziling joked, “Such a beautiful beauty inviting me so enthusiastically to go out, and I don’t dare to accept, I’ll feel so guilty I won’t sleep well at night.”

“If you can’t sleep at night, just chat with me,” Chen Xiaoyi said, suddenly becoming alert that Luo Ziling hadn’t added her new WeChat contact yet.

She immediately took out her phone, handed it to Luo Ziling, and let him scan the QR code to add each other as WeChat friends.

Luo Ziling did as she asked, but an unexpected thing happened while adding the WeChat contact and preparing to hand back the phone to Chen Xiaoyi; he unintentionally opened a chat history on WeChat.

It was Chen Xiaoyi’s conversation with his old WeChat ID, filled with many messages, and the few sentences Luo Ziling saw were her expressing her feelings with resentment.

“Luo Ziling, I really like you. Will you be my boyfriend?”

“If you don’t want to, at least reply. Ignoring me is like looking down on me, I’m angry.”

“If you don’t respond, forget it, as if I never said anything.”

Seeing Luo Ziling staring blankly at her phone, Chen Xiaoyi curiously peered over and saw her undeleted messages, her face immediately turning red. However, she didn’t snatch the phone back or show any coy demeanor, instead, she looked seriously at Luo Ziling, “Actually, I wanted to show you those messages.”

“Heh,” Luo Ziling laughed awkwardly, “I actually already have a girlfriend, so, it’s not possible between us… ”

“Is it with Yang Qingyin?” Chen Xiaoyi stared intently at Luo Ziling, “I already know that you are Ling Ruonan’s son, am I right?”

“Did I tell you about that?” Luo Ziling felt a bit confused; he didn’t remember telling Chen Xiaoyi these things.

“I don’t have to hear it from you to know these things. You should be aware that I’m a journalist, with more advantages in digging up information,” Chen Xiaoyi looked unblinkingly at Luo Ziling, “I know about you and Yang Qingyin, and I also know that you’ve gotten into a lot of trouble. I’m even more aware that given the current situation, it’s definitely impossible for the two of you to be together, right?”

Chen Xiaoyi’s blunt words left Luo Ziling unsure how to respond.

“If I actively pursue you, how would you treat me?” Now that she had laid her cards on the table, Chen Xiaoyi was even bolder, “I know that you’ve had conflicts with my brother and that he’s still looking to get back at you. I’m also aware that both you and your mother are in a precarious situation right now, and your involvement with Yang Qingyin has made it even worse. If we were… close friends, your situation would definitely change.”

“Can we not talk about this, please?” Luo Ziling felt a headache coming on; he didn’t want to discuss these issues with anyone, least of all with Chen Xiaoyi, “Matters of the heart shouldn’t be about being active or passive, nor about coercion. I hope that two people can come together naturally, so I don’t want to analyze these things.”

Chen Xiaoyi was a bit disappointed, but after carefully considering Luo Ziling’s words, she regained her confidence, “I understand what you mean, so let’s pretend I never said those things. Let’s just be friends, okay? Since we are friends, we should help each other out. If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know; and if I need help, I hope you’ll be there for me. If one day we develop feelings during our interactions, I’ll give love another chance wholeheartedly. It’s a pity to miss out on someone who captivates your heart, isn’t it? So, I don’t want to force myself.”

Seeing Chen Xiaoyi speak so earnestly, Luo Ziling really didn’t know how to respond.
