So You're Such A Doctor Song - Chapter 217
Chapter 217: Finally Asked For A Kiss From Him
“… Your wife is really quite thick-skinned.”
“… It’s quite good too that it’s a little thick.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
In the dining area, Changqing enjoyed the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Auntie Zhang in a good mood.
Lately, she had been quite free at the station and she didn’t need to rush off to work in the mornings. She felt that life was getting more and more comfortable.
Just then, the phone beside her rang. Changqing looked at the number and was surprised. It was a call from Li Shaobin.
“Hello, Brother Shaobin…” Thinking back to what happened last night, Changqing’s face was still a little hot. She was shy and didn’t want it, but Song Chuchu was simply too beastly and teased her until she couldn’t hold it in.
“Mmhm. I didn’t disturb you and Old Song, did I?” Li Shaobin was still a little unhappy and felt that he really was abandoned.
“He went to work. Is anything the matter?”
“It’s like this—aren’t you friends with Ruan Yang? Do you know when she will be coming to Northern City to promote her movie?” Li Shaobin sighed. “My nephew is a loyal fan of Ruan Yang’s and has been going on about wanting her autograph and seeing her. I’m about to die from frustration because of him.”
“How old is your nephew?”
“12.”
Changqing was utterly envious. “Ruan Yang is so formidable. She even has a twelve-year-old fan. Sure, sure, sure, leave this to me. Ruan Yang will be coming to Northern City for promotions the day after tomorrow at Northern City’s largest cinema, Xi Yu Theater. However, there are only a limited number of entries. I’ll help you tell Ruan Yang.”
“Mm, mm, sure. I’ll treat you to Wagyu beef next time.”
After hanging up, Changqing called Ruan Yang immediately and talked about this matter. “Ruan Yang, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“No problem.” Ruan Yang hesitated for a while before saying, “However, can you get Li Shaobin to change his clothes or something when you guys are coming? The media and press will be around that day and if he’s caught on camera…”
“Mm, I understand, I understand.” Changqing nodded. Li Shaobin’s style of dress was indeed a little strange. However, she couldn’t go straight up to Li Shaobin and tell him that; that would hurt the ego of a triad boss. Besides, Shaobin was so cute and amiable.
Changqing propped her head on her hand and thought for a while before calling Song Chuyi. “Chuchu, Shaobin listens to you the most. Can you get him to wear something more formal on that day?”
“No,” Song Chuyi rejected her lightly.
“Why?” Changqing was unhappy.
“He feels that he’s exceptionally awe-inspiring that way…”
“Really?”
“Mm.”
“Besides, that gold necklace was given to him by a brother who risked his own life to save him. It’s the most important thing to him.”
“Oh.” Changqing was silent. She suddenly felt that Shaobin was a person with a story.
Indeed, one couldn’t blame him for not having taste based on that thick, gold necklace. It was the brother who risked his life to save him who had no taste.
On the third day, when Changqing was in a meeting at the broadcasting station, she heard Director Shi from the entertainment channel scolding someone on the phone: “What time is it now? Aren’t you going to hurry up and wait at Xi Yu? There will be 10 media companies coming today. Can you get a good spot if you don’t go earlier?”
“That’s right. I think Ruan Yang will be coming to Northern City to promote her new film today.” Zuo Qian smiled. “Ruan Yang is getting more and more popular now.”
“Isn’t that so? Now that we’re mentioning the newly released film, I watched it. The plot wasn’t great and Xia Junmeng’s acting sucks too. But with just her and Xia Junmeng’s popularity alone, the box office exceeded 100 million on the first day,” Director Shi said with a helpless laugh.
Changqing spoke as though she had found her soulmate: “Director Shi, finally, someone who feels the same way as me about Xia Junmeng’s lousy acting. I thought this way too when I watched the movie previously. However, when I saw the news this morning praising Xia Junmeng’s acting, I felt bad all over.”
“Internet water army. You know very well how strong the internet water army from Xia Junmeng’s company is.”
Everyone was chattering and discussing until Boss Feng came in. After being in the meeting for more than an hour, Zuo Qian’s assistant came in and said, “Teacher Zuo, Zhang Zixin is here to see you.”
Everyone from the station was in an uproar. Zheng Yan teased with a grin: “Teacher Zuo, I couldn’t tell that your relationship with Zhang Zixin is getting sweeter and sweeter. She even came all the way to the station to pick you up from work. How envious all of us are.”
Zuo Qian had a slight smile on his face from start till end, not saying a word.
Changqing said to him sweetly, “Teacher Zuo, you’d better hurry out. Don’t make Sister Zixin wait too long.”
Zuo Qian nodded complicatedly before standing up and leaving with his things.
Changqing searched for Song Chuyi’s number and called over. “I’m going to Xi Yu to see Ruan Yang with Li Shaobin tonight. Do you want to go over together?”
“No,” Song Chuyi rejected her straight away. “I could only suppress the news about the male fan incident previously through my connections; isn’t that troublesome enough? Also, I was luckily transferred to the Emergency Room. I heard from my colleagues that many of Ruan Yang’s fans went to the Outpatient Department to find out about me.”
Changqing: “Er… I didn’t think that youngsters nowadays would be so active and unrestrained.”
Song Chuyi cleared his throat and let out a deep laugh. “This is nothing.”
“Could there be more active ones?” Changqing was nervous.
“Oh, in the past, when I just started work, there was a young girl who would come over to the Outpatient Department every day, feigning illness.” Song Chuyi laughed deeply. “Your husband is much more popular than you imagine.”
Changqing frowned and was unhappy. “Then you must always wear a mask every time you make a house call. When you work at the hospital, you’re not allowed to take it off. If I see you acting ambiguous with another woman, I… won’t let you touch me again.”
The corners of Song Chuyi’s mouth curled up slightly. She actually found out his weakness. “What a threat. Sure, run along. I have another patient coming in again.”
“Mm, bye-bye.” Changqing pressed the hang-up button lightly.
Wen Tong walked to her side and squirmed, saying in a weird tone, trying to imitate her, “I won’t let you touch me again.”
“Scram.” Changqing hit her with embarrassment.
“Now you’ve really become a tigress,” Wen Tong said with a chuckle.
Changqing’s face reddened and she walked towards her department with Wen Tong proudly. In the hallway, she ran into Zhang Zixin, who was chatting merrily with a few staff.
“Sister Zixin,” Changqing initiated a greeting with a smile.
Zhang Zixin didn’t look over, as though she didn’t hear her, and continued chatting with others. However, the other staff who were in the conversation saw Changqing.
Changqing felt slightly awkward. Wen Tong frowned and pulled her along, saying softly, “Let’s go, let’s go. You greeted her so loudly; I don’t believe she didn’t hear you.”
The pair just took a few steps forward when Zhang Zixin suddenly said towards their back, “Yo, isn’t this Miss Yan? When did you get here? Why didn’t you even greet me?”
“I did call out to you just now,” Changqing turned her head back and explained a little awkwardly. “But you didn’t hear me.”
“Is that so? I was talking to them just now and must’ve missed it. However, since I missed it, doesn’t Miss Yan know how to call out to me a few more times?” An amiable smile hung on Zhang Zixin’s classy and delicate little face, but what she was insinuating with her words was that Changqing was too self-important and didn’t know her manners.
“I’m sorry, I saw that you were chatting very happily with the others and didn’t want to go up to disturb you.” Changqing felt apologetic.
“Forget it then. It’s alright if you’re like this to me, but next time, you should be more mindful towards the other seniors. Don’t have a bad attitude before you’re even popular.” Zhang Zixin had a helpless smile. “After all, your Teacher Zuo still has high hopes for you. Don’t disappoint him too much.”
“Alright, I’ll be more mindful in the future,” Changqing replied obediently. “Then I shall be off; I still have something to do.”
“Mm, Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.” Changqing pulled Wen Tong along hurriedly.
After the two entered her office, Wen Tong said angrily, “That Zhang Zixin must’ve done it on purpose.”
“She seems to not like me more and more.” Changqing was bewildered. Forget that Zhang Zixin was cold towards her in the past. This time, she even lectured her on purpose. “I didn’t offend her, did I? Say, why does she hate me so much?”
“Perhaps it’s because you have a program shooting with Teacher Zuo regularly and you’re also quite close, so she’s jealous,” Wen Tong said.
“She must be sick. My relationship with Teacher Zuo is just that of a student and a teacher.” Changqing shook her head, unwilling to agree. Right then, Li Shaobin gave her a call to tell her that he was already downstairs.
Changqing didn’t even dare to walk towards the direction Zhang Zixin was in and went down directly in another elevator. Li Shaobin was waiting at the entrance with his attention-seeking Lamborghini. The green sports car was simply dazzling.
This person was too high-profile. However, Changqing didn’t find that detestable because she was also such a high-profile person.
She opened the door to the passenger seat and went in. Li Shaobin was wearing another flowery shirt she had never seen before and had a pair of sunglasses on. It was a striking contrast with the tall, rich and handsome image that the sports car portrayed.
“Hi, pretty lady.” In the back, a little handsome man with a sleek hairstyle waved at her. Changqing blinked. This little handsome man was wearing a pair of jeans and a white shirt buttoned up all the way to his collarbone. The clean and fair little face was exuding a sense of coolness, handsomeness and asceticism.
“This is… your little nephew?” Changqing looked at his little nephew then at Li Shaobin. The image of the uncle and nephew was a little weird. The little nephew was only twelve and already so flirtatious and good at dressing up, while Li Shaobin, who was almost thirty…
Li Shaobin had yet to reply when Li Xiaoxia extended his hand towards her politely. “Hello, my name is Li Yilin and my nickname is Li Xiaoxia. You can call me Xiaoxia.”
“Hello, hello, I’m Yan Changqing.” Changqing shook his hand and felt amazed. A twelve-year-old little child also knew how to shake hands?
“I know, Sister Yan. I’ve known you for a very long time.” Li Xiaoxia said, “I love to watch your variety show that airs every week. However, my father forbids me from watching it. But even if he disallows it, that won’t stop me from liking you.”
“Oh…” This little child was handsome and also a sweet-talker. Changqing was a little swept off her feet.
Li Xiaoxia’s eyes even lit up. “What surprised me the most was that Sister Yan even graduated from the same school as my goddess and you two even stayed in the same dormitory. I really didn’t dare to believe it. Ruan Yang is my goddess. So many people from my class like her. Right—I saw a report on Ruan Yang previously and she said that the two of you, along with Jiang Duoyao and another lady called Guan Ying, are very good friends and besties. After that, I searched up all of Jiang Duoyao’s films and watched them all. However, I don’t really fancy watching Guan Ying’s roles. It doesn’t matter. Whatever Ruan Yang likes, I like. I like all of Ruan Yang’s friends.”
