"Is this how you repay your benefactor?" Ge Dongxu asked, speechless.
"Isn't there a very famous saying in Huaxia Country, 'A drop of water should be reciprocated with a spring'? And I, a humble girl, have nothing to offer but to pledge myself to you!" Seeing Ge Dongxu's speechless expression, Nico whispered into his ear with her rosy lips.
"Nico, your Chinese has improved a lot," Ge Dongxu said with a wry smile.
"Of course, Wizard of the East," Nico continued, still whispering in his ear.
"You can co to see later, just not too often. Also, let's forget about pledging yourself, that's not really a thing anymore," Ge Dongxu said, knowing she playfully called him the Wizard of the East and hinting at her underlying aning, he could only respond helplessly.
"But you've seen my body, and even touched it," Nico added, seeing the helpless look on Ge Dongxu's face and unable to describe her feeling, she couldn't help but say more.
"I was performing surgery on you! At that ti, I was a doctor," Ge Dongxu replied, his mind involuntarily flashing back to the stunning scene he had seen over a year ago.
"Nico, can you let go of now? A lot of people are watching."
"No problem, but you haven't told yet, what should we say if they ask us later?" Nico asked.
"Just say we t by chance on a ride before," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Do you think with hugging you like this, they will believe that?" Nico asked, her deep blue eyes clearly twinkling with schadenfreude.
"Then say you were approached by two drunken lechers trying to take advantage of you, and I stepped in to help," Ge Dongxu thought that might indeed be inappropriate and could only offer a wry smile.
"We'll have to go with that then. Actually, I'd rather tell them that you are a real Eastern Wizard; they would definitely be very surprised," Nico said, finally letting go and whispering softly.
"I think they would be surprised too, especially seeing you lying bloodied in a hotel bathroom," Ge Dongxu saw that Nico still didn't forget to "threaten" him, so he playfully "threatened" her back in a less than gentleman-like manner.
"Thank you!" However, upon hearing his words, Nico did not feel ashad but trembled slightly, her eyes filled with endless gratitude. She gazed deeply at Ge Dongxu and whispered.
Although foreign countries do not have the saying "A drop of water should be reciprocated with a spring," it does not an that foreigners do not understand gratitude!
That ti, Nico and Ge Dongxu had t by chance, but not only had he warned her beforehand, but he also rushed to save her life without hesitation upon receiving her call, and he did not ask for anything in return. The intelligent Nico would surely understand that she had t a true hero, a truly good man!
"No need to thank , just don't co..." Ge Dongxu said with a strained smile.
"That's a different matter!" Nico interrupted, her eyes gleaming playfully as she winked at him.
"Alright then." Ge Dongxu, seeing Nico's proud and playful deanor, found it hard to be angry and could only nod helplessly again.
"Nico! What's going on here? Is he your boyfriend? But you've never told us about having a boyfriend from Huaxia Country," Nico's three friends imdiately surrounded her when she returned to the pavilion and asked with surprised faces.
"Boss, what's going on here? How do you know Teacher Nico?" As soon as Ge Dongxu returned to the pavilion, he too was pulled aside by his three roommates and Lv Chongliang for an interrogation.
With no one paying them any attention, Sun Wenjun and the others felt extrely awkward, their cheeks burning with pain, feeling as though they had been heavily slapped across the face.
Indeed, he was the son of the Secretary-General of Jinzhou City's governnt, and he went to great lengths to invite Nico and her friends to join them in exploring Golden Mountain, but what happened? Before Ge Dongxu even reached the pavilion, Nico had already sprinted into his arms.
In comparison, Sun Wenjun beca a complete loser, and even looking back on his previous experiences, he felt like a clown.
"Once, when Nico was being harassed by two sleazebags, I stepped in to help, and that's how we got to know each other," Ge Dongxu explained nonchalantly.
"Damn, a hero saving the damsel!" Lv Chongliang exclaid with a face full of envy and resentnt.
"Why don't these things ever happen to ?" Li Chenyu asked with the sa envious and resentful expression.
"If it were you, with that puny body of yours, it would probably end up with Nico having to rescue you," He Guizhong imdiately scoffed disdainfully.
"Exactly, opportunities are for those who are prepared," Lu Lei said, no longer sparing his words.
"Don't look down on , I'll start working out when I get back to school," Li Chenyu said, greatly stung by the comnt.
"My God, that ans that handso guy is your hero!" Elsewhere, Eva, Justina, and Lilia, after hearing Nico's explanation, all said admiringly.
Won are naturally imbued with a longing for romance, and Western won are no exception.
A romantic incident like a hero saving a beauty, especially occurring in a foreign land, and where the hero is a sowhat handso guy, obviously qualifies as a romantic event.
"Yes, not only is he my hero, but he is also a student at our school, nad Ge Dongxu," Nico replied.
"Really? He's a student at Jiangnan University? That's so interesting!" Upon hearing this, Eva and the others imdiately brightened up, their faces showing an excited grin, then they waved to Ge Dongxu, saying, "Hey, Ge, co over, co over."
Seeing the three Western won calling him over, and their eyes, full of exotic interest, examining him, Ge Dongxu felt quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Ge Dongxu was a big shot, and although sowhat discomposed, he was not intimidated by the situation.
"Hello, teachers, my na is Ge Dongxu, and it's a pleasure to et you." After stepping forward, Ge Dongxu took the initiative to extend his hand toward Eva and her companions.
He was poised and very gentlemanly.
"Damn, the boss is really the boss, facing three Western female teachers and still maintaining such calm and gentlemanly composure!" Li Chenyu and the others watched as Ge Dongxu faced the three Western teachers without flinching, even taking the initiative to extend his hand, almost dropping their jaws to the floor.
Lv Chongliang's face also showed a surprised look, feeling sowhat inferior. Although he considered himself a ladies' man and dared to flaunt his little fortune-telling skills in front of these Western teachers, he had never dared to extend his hand to them on equal terms.
As for Sun Wenjun and others, they naturally watched in both astonishnt and envy.
Eva and the others had been in Huaxia Country for several years now, and the young n or male teachers they t always inevitably exhibited so Eastern-style modesty, or even restrainnt, during their first encounters. Not to ntion extending a hand, sotis they would even blush and stumble over their words when speaking. Like the previous performance of Sun Wenjun, which was already quite good, but clearly not bold enough to take the initiative to extend his hand.
Seeing Ge Dongxu reach out with a smile, they were initially a bit stunned, and then they reacted, each smiling as they shook hands with Ge Dongxu. Lilia, being relatively lively and enthusiastic, even gave Ge Dongxu an intimate greeting, making Lv Chongliang and the others almost bug out their eyes.
