337: Chapter 337 Mo Xiaoqing’s Request 337: Chapter 337 Mo Xiaoqing’s Request “Hey, you’ve done sothing nice for Xia Xiaoyu again, haven’t you?
Why are her eyes all red?” A voice ca in from the doorway.
Tangyu’s eyes lit up.
It was Mo Xiaoqing who entered.
He quickly glanced at her, noticed her good complexion, and figured she must be recovering well.
He imdiately said, “How could that be?
Xiaoqing, are you feeling better?”
Mo Xiaoqing nodded and said, “Yeah, much better.
I actually ca to thank you today.
I’d like to treat you to lunch—I made it myself.
Will you honor with your presence?”
Tangyu really wanted to accept her invitation right away.
Being asked out to a restaurant by a woman is one thing, but when a woman offers to cook for you at ho, that’s true happiness.
It’s a small detail, but it says a lot.
If a woman is willing to cook for a man, it indicates she has good feelings for him.
And besides, having lunch with a beauty is a delightful affair.
If he had known, he would have postponed Rao Yuanzhi’s lunch appointnt.
“What’s wrong, got plans to eat with your girlfriend at noon?” Mo Xiaoqing chuckled, noticing the predicant on Tangyu’s face and imdiately picking up on it.
She had a strange feeling of sourness in her heart, but it didn’t show on her face.
She was always good at suppressing and concealing her emotions regarding relationships.
Seeing Mo Xiaoqing’s misunderstanding, Tangyu quickly clarified, “You’ve got it wrong, Xiaqing.
It’s not that.
I already agreed to join Rao Yuanzhi for lunch.”
“Rao Yuanzhi?” Mo Xiaoqing was slightly startled.
“The Rao Yuanzhi from Donglin First Hospital, the best acupuncturist in Donglin City?”
“Yes, that’s him.
I promised him yesterday,” Tangyu confird with a nod.
Mo Xiaoqing frowned slightly, her eyebrows knitting together as she naturally thought of Yan Yan.
She knew that Rao Yuanzhi was interested in Yan Yan.
Last ti, Tangyu had helped Yan Yan out of big trouble at Donglin First Hospital.
Could it be that Rao Yuanzhi bore a grudge against Tangyu for that, hence setting a trap for him at a supposed banquet for discussion?
Seeing Mo Xiaoqing’s concern, Tangyu smiled and reassured, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.
It’s probably just an academic discussion.”
Mo Xiaoqing let out a sigh of relief.
Given Rao Yuanzhi’s character, such a ploy seed unlikely.
It was probably an academic discussion.
After all, Tangyu’s dical skills were so impressive, and heroes tend to respect heroes.
With that thought, Mo Xiaoqing let go of her worries.
If Tangyu really turned her down, she would have been truly heartbroken—after all, this was the first ti she had actively invited a man to eat the al she cooked.
Won tend to have very special feelings about their ‘first tis,’ whatever the context may be.
“Well, if that’s the case, let’s do it another ti,” Mo Xiaoqing said with a smile.
Tangyu nodded and responded, “Sure, that’s fine.”
“By the way, Tangyu, could you do a favor?” Mo Xiaoqing hesitated, then asked.
Tangyu laughed, “Of course, helping a beauty is a must.”
Mo Xiaoqing couldn’t help but smile.
She thought for a mont, appeared a bit troubled, then looked at Tangyu with hopeful eyes before saying, “Well, yesterday I received a call from our university class president.
He wants to have a reunion, which would be our third since graduating.
I originally wanted to decline, but he insisted, knowing that I’m in Donglin City, and said I must attend.
Then a few classmates called inviting , so I couldn’t refuse.
It’s been over three years since we graduated.
I went on to pursue my master’s degree while most others started working right away, and many of them are doing well here in Donglin.
For so reason, our class president is convinced that I have a boyfriend and insists that I bring him along.
I—”
She hesitated, then looked at Tangyu, “I’m sorry, Tangyu.
I was hoping you could help out, but I didn’t realize you already had a girlfriend.
If it might cause a misunderstanding with your girlfriend, never mind, I’ll find another way.”
Tangyu smiled.
How could he refuse such an offer?
“It’s okay, I’ll accompany you.
It’s not the first ti I’ve done sothing like this.
I’ve beco quite professional at it now.
I trust Feifei won’t misunderstand.”
Mo Xiaoqing was taken aback, not expecting Tangyu to agree so readily.
“You’re not afraid Lin Feifei will misunderstand?”
“Not at all, I trust she won’t.”
“I’m a woman, and I understand won better.
I think she will.”
“As her boyfriend, I trust her more.
I believe she won’t.”
“…”
“Alright, Tangyu, I really appreciate it.
If Lin Feifei does have any misunderstandings, I will explain everything to her personally.
I don’t want this to cause any trouble between you two; I’d rather go to the reunion alone,” Mo Xiaoqing said.
Tangyu shook his head with a smile.
Why make explanations so clear?
Even if there was sothing between them, what of it?
At this mont, Mo Xiaoqing felt even more conflicted.
This thought had been with her since yesterday, and it was her first instinct.
She knew the rumor about her having a boyfriend was probably spread by Zhou Kai and Ning Xinhua.
If she didn’t take a boyfriend to the reunion, her classmates would probably not let her off the hook.
Of course—if it were just that, Mo Xiaoqing wouldn’t be too concerned.
But she felt this might be an opportunity.
She didn’t know why she had such a thought.
She wanted to dismiss it, but it grew stronger and stronger, and deep down, she felt that this might be her chance.
When won fall in love, they are not passive.
In fact, when they take the initiative, they can be more proactive than n.
Although Mo Xiaoqing was gentle in nature, she wasn’t one to suppress her feelings.
If she truly liked a man, she would be proactive.
She felt she had truly fallen for Tangyu, hence her willingness to take the initiative.
Yet, hearing the gossip about Tangyu and Lin Feifei at school today made her more confused.
She didn’t know whether to proceed with her plan.
She wanted to give up but couldn’t bear to.
It was a contradictory feeling.
She struggled with this decision for an entire class period, but eventually she ca.
Initially, she just wanted to thank Tangyu and invite him to dinner, without any intention of ntioning the class reunion.
Still, she couldn’t help but bring it up.
Perhaps, deep down, she harbored so desire to make an offensive move.
They say it takes a fortress for a man to pursue a woman, but for a woman to pursue a man, it takes but a veil of sand.
Won, in fact, have a natural advantage.
They can advance or retreat at will; sotis a single word or action can serve as a probe, and there’s always a dual explanation for their behavior.
“Hehe, not anymore, you should trust ,” Tangyu chuckled.
“Mm, thank you then,” Mo Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, feeling an imnse sense of relief in her heart, as if she had just accomplished a great feat.
“When is the reunion?” Tangyu asked.
“Oh, I almost forgot, it’s on Wednesday at nine in the morning at Donglin University,” said Mo Xiaoqing.
“Wednesday?” Tangyu frowned slightly.
Why did they choose a ti during work hours?
Were all her classmates really that idle?
Seeing Tangyu’s confusion, Mo Xiaoqing quipped with a smile, “You forgot that Wednesday is October 1st, National Day.
The holiday starts then.”
“Oh, National Day, huh?
It’s coming up so fast.
Hehe, I didn’t pay attention,” Tangyu chuckled, scratching her head.
Another long holiday was approaching.
“You, the busy person, have lost track of ti.
I won’t keep you from your work any longer, I’ll call you the day after tomorrow,” Mo Xiaoqing said.
“Yeah, see you then,” Tangyu nodded.
After Mo Xiaoqing left the health clinic, she ran to an empty space where no one was around, her hand pressed against her chest, taking a while to catch her breath.
In her eyes flashed a hint of an unusual expression.
“Ah, Mo Xiaoqing, Mo Xiaoqing, he already has a girlfriend, why are you still getting tangled up in this?” After so ti, Mo Xiaoqing shook her head and let out a long sigh.
Having seen Mo Xiaoqing off, Tangyu beca bored again.
Being a school doctor was definitely a laid-back job.
Most of the ti, it was the bolder girls coming in after class with all kinds of peculiar questions.
So people, clearly with no illness, would still insist Tangyu give them a full body check-up.
The ones who were truly sick were in the minority.
Otherwise, why would there only be one person in the health clinic?
The role of school doctor was established to handle ergency situations, like when students needed a wound cleaned after a fall, or when they caught a cold and needed so free dicine—it was all minor stuff.
Soon, another head poked in, and upon seeing Tangyu, it was all smiles like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Teacher Zhou, beaming with joy, nodded at Tangyu as he ca in, holding a freshly opened pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and offering one to Tangyu, “Doctor Tang, co have a smoke.”
Tangyu didn’t have a bad impression of Teacher Zhou and waved his hand, “No thanks, I don’t smoke.”
Teacher Zhou didn’t insist, putting the cigarette away at once, “The young people these days are really good, none of you smoke.
It’s good not to smoke though.”
Seeing that Teacher Zhou was in high spirits, Tangyu said with a smile, “Is there sothing good you want to tell , Teacher Zhou?”
Teacher Zhou’s smile grew even wider, “I have to thank you for your help, Doctor Tang.
We are together now, hehe.”
“That thing?” Tangyu looked at Teacher Zhou.
Teacher Zhou’s face actually turned a shade of red as he nodded, “Mm.”
Tangyu smiled, feeling at ease.
Considering that Teacher Zhou was in his thirties, at that age, it was like a fire eting dry wood; once they ca together, having a relationship straightaway was quite normal.
They were not teenagers anymore; how could they have so much ti for romance?
Speak of love, and the process can speed up, diving straight into love is more comforting.
“Hehe, congratulations to Teacher Zhou, looks like I’ll be eating your wedding candy soon,” Tangyu chuckled.
“Certainly, I really must thank you, Doctor Tang.
When are you free next?
We’d like to have you over for a simple al as a small gesture of gratitude,” Teacher Zhou said.
Another dinner invitation, and Tangyu felt a bit of a headache coming on.
He wasn’t famous or anything; why was his social calendar so full every day?
This was a troubleso situation to be in.
Being invited by a beauty was one thing, but what was a grown man doing adding to the fuss?
“Hehe, no need for dinner, just hand out so wedding candy so other ti.
Besides, I might actually be a bit busy soon, and it’s almost National Day, so let’s forget the dinner.
Really, it was nothing much; you don’t need to be so courteous,” Tangyu chuckled.
Teacher Zhou looked at Tangyu, “Since Doctor Tang is busy, I won’t insist.
But I will rember this favor.
To you, it may be a small matter, but for , it’s a life-changing event.”
