Chapter 51

Chapter 51 - 51 050 After the Kiss Chapter 51: 050: After the Kiss Chapter 51: 050: After the Kiss They were both novices, and the clumsy deep kiss had a suffocating sensation that came with extreme excitement.

Xie Shang’s kiss, like himself, gave you a storm before letting you catch your breath. He would also back down, but only when Wen Changling gasped for air.

He would briefly draw back his aggression, soothing her with gentle kisses. He didn’t close his eyes, just watching her, observing how she looked so different than before, seeing the vivid color finally blooming on the corners of her eyes and the tips of her ears.

Then the intermission that teases through layers came to an end, and he continued.

There was a thud as the milk tea fell to the ground.

Wen Changling heard the noise and tugged at Xie Shang’s sleeve. He hummed in response, letting go of her and shielding her behind him as he turned to the unperceptive intruder.

Yang Xining stuttered, “You, you—you guys—”

What did she see?! Ahhhh, what did she see?! The Boss Xie, who lives on air and dew and scorns worldly affairs, was kissing someone!

Living on air and dew and scorning worldly affairs were part of Boss Xie’s character in Yang Xining’s fan-made pure love comics.

“Miss Yang, have you seen enough?”

Miss Yang picked up the milk tea and ran away as fast as she could.

With the third party gone, tranquillity once again settled around them, and the impulsive surge from moments ago cooled down, leaving Wen Changling feeling awkward.

“I’ll go in first.”

She didn’t wait to see Xie Shang’s reaction and left on her own.

Xie Shang didn’t call after her.

As she reached the door, she still stopped and turned back, “I don’t cast spells. Those are all rumors.” After explaining, she went inside and closed the door.

Xie Shang lit a cigarette and simply let it burn. He looked up at the rabbit lamp hanging from the eaves, with a residue of redness still in his eyes.

When the ash covered the blue bricks, he picked up the raincoat that Wen Changling had dropped, turned back inside, and made a phone call.

“Do me a favor.”

Some matters had been set up long enough; it was time to get to the main topic.

*****

After that, Wen Changling didn’t see Xie Shang for several days. Oh right, there was a limit to how much phone credit you could add at a time; adding a little each day was troublesome, so she used another payment app to transfer a substantial amount of money to Xie Shang.

This Saturday is Dihong Hospital’s monthly Public Service Day, and this time it’s the turn of the Oncology Surgery Department.

The event is at Imperial Capital University, with nine medical staff members providing free health check-ups for college students.

The venue is set up in the gymnasium.

The gym on a Saturday, with young athletic students everywhere. Summer has already started, and the lads are dressed lightly, sweating it out on the basketball court to Jiahui’s delight.

“Changling.”

No one else was around; Wen Changling was taking a break.

Jiahui tugged at her excitedly, “Look! At three o’clock, there’s a super handsome guy.”

Wen Changling didn’t want to move. It was so hot. June was nearly here, and the temperature was exceptionally sweltering, especially these past few days.

The handsome guy came over and sat down in front of Jhiang Youyou. He wore glasses and looked elegant and refined, holding a textbook on applied physics.

Jhiang Youyou glanced at him, “Health check-up?”

The other party didn’t speak.

Jhiang Youyou continued officially, “Please show your student ID.”

He still didn’t speak, just staring at Jhiang Youyou.

“Student, please show your student ID.”

He seemed hesitant, rummaging slowly through his pockets until he found a student ID, which he placed on the desk with the back facing up.

“You don’t remember me?”

He finally spoke, his voice distinctive.

It sounded a bit familiar.

Jhiang Youyou deliberately flipped the student ID to look at the name on it.

Physics Department, Wang Shanxi.

The name was unfamiliar. Could he be one of the many male university students she had casually dismissed before? Jhiang Youyou reflected for five seconds and thought that it couldn’t be possible. She could not have forgotten such a refined and undefeated face.

Thus, she confidently said, “Little brother, you’ve got the wrong person.” Then she pointed to the side, “Over there to get a form, measure your height and weight, and then come back.”

Little brother.

It made sense, since he was three years younger than her.

“Wang Shanxi” went to get a form and then to measure his height and weight. The machine loudly announced the numbers, drawing many gazes towards him. He seemed entirely detached, expressionless as he went through the initial procedures before sitting back down in front of Jhiang Youyou.

“Hand over here.”

He extended his hand and called her, “Jhiang Youyou.”

Jhiang Youyou flipped her work badge to hide her name, reminding this student, “Call me Doctor.”

He fell silent.

After taking the measurements, Jhiang Youyou filled in the numbers and signed her name, “You may go to the next station.”

He still sat there unmoved, his gaze particularly earnest. He had an aura that could make one’s restlessness settle into calmness and focus.

“You don’t remember me.”

This statement emphasized the fact, no longer a question, but a certainty.

There wasn’t a hint of liveliness on his face, but he could still make one feel his discontent.

With colleagues watching, Jhiang Youyou was very serious and stern, “Student Wang Shanxi, please don’t hinder my work.”

Student “Wang Shanxi” turned and walked away.

After leaving the basketball court, he entered a long corridor.

Down the hallway, a male student hurried over, “Professor.” The student’s face was flushed with heat, “What brings you to the gymnasium? The lab is in the other direction.”

The lab was indeed in the opposite direction of the gymnasium.

The professor handed his student ID card to the male student, his voice deep and mood somber, “Student Wang dropped his ID card, please return it to him.”

Guan Sixing was a guest professor in the Physics Department at Imperial Capital University, only a few years older than these students.

Inside the venue, the university student physical examination continued.

Jhiang Youyou’s face and figure were truly resilient; she got asked for her WeChat four times within an hour.

Then came the snide remarks, “Are you here to work or to pick up students?”

The voice was not loud.

Just then, Jiahui, who was sitting closest and had heard it, glanced at the colleague who, despite having had dozens of matchmaking attempts, still hadn’t succeeded and was continuing to look for a match.

Jiahui replied sarcastically, “It’s all Dr. Jhiang’s fault for being beautiful. If you don’t get hit on, it’s Dr. Jhiang’s fault, too.”

That mouth of Jiahui’s.

The head nurse often said that her inability to advance could be linked to her outspokenness. Jiahui didn’t seem like she came to be a nurse; it was more like she came to shake up the workplace. She would brazenly confront heaven and earth, her colleagues, even her superiors, not tolerating a speck of dirt in her eyes.

Jiahui continued to boldly speak up, “If I had Dr. Jhiang’s face, I’d definitely be a heartbreaker. I’d commit all the mistakes men do, one by one. Just thinking about it is thrilling.”

The colleague she was addressing rolled her eyes exasperatedly.

These days, university students are indeed bold. And here came another attempt at flirting.

“Excuse me, miss, could I add your WeChat?”

Before Wen Changling could refuse.

“No, you cannot.” Yan Cong suddenly appeared from behind.

Wen Changling turned to look.

Yan Cong had a cold expression as he watched the guy asking for the WeChat.

The guy, clearly recognizing Yan Cong, the little tyrant of sports, knew better than to provoke him and walked away wisely.

Yan Cong, this person, didn’t bother with talking behind one’s back. The guy hadn’t gone far when he straightforwardly said, “That guy’s on the basketball team, I’ve played ball with him. He’s not sportsmanlike, doesn’t deserve you.”
