THE YOUNG URBAN DOCTOR

Chapter 749: Chapter 749 Teasing

While the two of them were awkwardly lingering in the bathroom, a knock on the door sounded.

But Luo Ziling didn’t pay attention and let the knocking continue.

To his surprise, the locked door was opened, and Phoenix, wearing glasses, appeared at the bathroom door after a moment.

Seeing Phoenix before him, Luo Ziling was startled and nearly dropped Lin Lan, who he was holding, onto the floor.

All three of them were very embarrassed, even Phoenix seemed at a loss.

At that moment, Luo Ziling was washing the dirt off Lin Lan’s body. Such a scene wouldn’t be too embarrassing with just Lin Lan and Luo Ziling, but with someone else watching, it was awkward.

“I’m just cleaning her up before disinfecting her later,” Luo Ziling said, anxious to avoid any misunderstanding from Phoenix and afraid that she might rush in and beat him up, so he quickly explained and then requested, “Could you help out a bit?”

Phoenix didn’t speak but walked into the bathroom and began to help.

She took Lin Lan, who couldn’t stand up, from Luo Ziling’s hands, washed her clean, and then carried her back to the bed.

As Luo Ziling disinfected and cleaned Lin Lan’s skin, she also stood by and watched.

Having some knowledge of medical science, she understood Luo Ziling’s intentions and didn’t think too much of it.

Lin Lan and Luo Ziling still felt very awkward, especially Lin Lan. Being seen in such a state by her own team captain, she really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

If she said there was nothing between her and Luo Ziling, just pure comradeship, she wouldn’t believe it herself, let alone others. Having her captain witness this situation, combined with what Phoenix had said a few days ago, Lin Lan felt incredibly guilty.

Fortunately, Phoenix didn’t ask any questions or show any particular reaction, and even helped feed her breakfast afterwards, which alleviated some of Lin Lan’s embarrassment.

After breakfast, Luo Ziling treated Lin Lan again. He was still very diligent during the treatment and, when it was over, he collapsed onto the floor, exhausted.

Seeing Phoenix looking at him with a strange expression in her eyes, Luo Ziling explained awkwardly, “I’m out of strength, give me a hand, will you? If you want to hit me now, one finger would be enough.”

Phoenix didn’t refuse and obediently reached out to pull Luo Ziling up from the ground. Phoenix’s hand was very cold, and the contact gave an unsettling feeling. Luo Ziling didn’t know why this feeling arose, but he didn’t like touching such a hand and quickly let go.

“Can she leave here today?” Phoenix asked Luo Ziling. “If she can, I’ll have someone take her away. You can just come over to treat her later.”

“After noon, I’ll treat her one more time—then we’ll see,” Luo Ziling didn’t give a definitive answer, “Let her sleep for now. A nap will help consolidate the effects of the treatment.”

“Alright then, I’ll come back in the afternoon,” Phoenix said and was ready to leave.

Luo Ziling quickly called out to her, “I thought you were here to take care of her, why are you leaving already?”

“I have things to do!” Phoenix said and walked away without looking back.

Luo Ziling had no choice but to give up and collapsed on the sofa to sleep.

When he woke up, he was horrified to find Phoenix appearing in the room again.

How and when she had come in and how long she had been there, he had no clue, which made him very fearful.

If Phoenix wanted to kill him, he would have been dead by now.

His grandfather had always reminded him during his martial arts training to always be vigilant lest he lose his life. And now Phoenix had appeared before him without his notice. If his grandfather knew about this, he would be in for another scolding.

“Why have you come again?” Luo Ziling, whose energies were largely restored after a nap, sprang up from the sofa and asked Phoenix with knitted brows, “Didn’t you say you had things to do?”

“I’m here waiting for the results,” the phoenix pointed to Lin Lan, “If she can move, I’ll personally take her back.”

Luo Ziling checked the time: it was already noon, twelve o’clock. Lin Lan seemed to have just woken up. He immediately asked the phoenix, “Have you had lunch yet?”

The phoenix shook her head, “No. You go ahead and start the treatment for her.”

“No way,” Luo Ziling suddenly got a bit angry, “Treating her on an empty stomach, are you trying to kill me? I’m going to have lunch first; are you coming or not?”

“You guys go and have lunch first,” Lin Lan said softly, having just woken up, “and just bring something back for me, I feel like having wonton soup.”

The phoenix didn’t say anything and turned towards the door to leave.

“Where are you going?” Luo Ziling asked, puzzled.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” The phoenix asked back with a slight frown.

“How would I know what you are up to if you don’t say anything?” Luo Ziling retorted, then asked the phoenix, “Aren’t you going to disguise yourself?”

Today, the phoenix was showing her true face, which was very beautiful yet cold. Luo Ziling knew that with her looking like this, she would definitely cause a sensation if she went out.

If he appeared with the phoenix in front of his classmates, the campus network would be flooded with posts about him again.

The phoenix said nothing and went into the bathroom.

In a short while, the phoenix came out, looking very different from before. Anyway, Luo Ziling felt that if he glimpsed this woman for the first time, he definitely wouldn’t recognize her as the phoenix.

Seeing the phoenix get ready and head outside, Luo Ziling had no choice but to follow.

“What do you feel like eating? It’s on me,” Luo Ziling said as he put on his glasses, donned a woolen hat, and hurriedly caught up with the phoenix. “Don’t be shy!”

“Whatever,” the phoenix replied indifferently, without slowing down her pace.

“I feel like having rice and braised pork, so how about I treat you to a stir-fry meal at the restaurant near the school gate?”

The phoenix just hummed softly in response, not stopping her stride.

Luo Ziling deliberately walked with her for a bit, then pointed to a restaurant in the opposite direction and said they should eat there before heading in that direction himself. The phoenix stopped, looked at Luo Ziling’s retreating back in confusion, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

She knew Luo Ziling was teasing her, but she didn’t react and followed him in the end.

Seeing the phoenix hesitate but still follow him, Luo Ziling couldn’t help feeling a bit smug.

“I’m treating you to a meal, so you should follow my lead. I almost followed you,” Luo Ziling teased the phoenix.

The phoenix ignored him and silently followed behind Luo Ziling.

By an incredibly strange and coincidental circumstance, as Luo Ziling was about to lead the phoenix into the restaurant, he suddenly saw Yang Qingyin, who was wearing glasses and a hat, walking towards them.

Trailing behind Yang Qingyin was her faithful follower, Ye Xiaoli.

Luo Ziling saw Yang Qingyin, and Yang Qingyin also noticed him at first glance.

Seeing Yang Qingyin naturally delighted Luo Ziling, but he also felt awkward realizing the phoenix was standing beside him.
