The Young Urban Doctor Novel - Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Finally Going to Meet

Luo Ziling had to admit that Ouyang Feifei’s few suggestions just now were all very reasonable and not hard to achieve.

If he suddenly became Ouyang Feifei’s fiancé, having the Ouyang Family to back him up would, to a certain extent, save him some trouble.

And it could also protect Ouyang Feifei from the harassment of others.

Although he had already called off the engagement, Ouyang Feifei, who excelled in all aspects, still held a special place in Luo Ziling’s heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to restrain himself from stepping forward to reject the invitation for her when Chen Jiahai came to ask Ouyang Feifei out that day.

Subconsciously, he didn’t want to see anyone pursuing Ouyang Feifei, which might be a manifestation of a man’s subconscious possessiveness.

However, after much consideration, Luo Ziling still didn’t agree to Ouyang Feifei’s latter proposal.

But he didn’t directly refuse, instead, he said very tactfully, “I’ve been feeling very irritable these past few days. Let me go back and think it over.”

Although Ouyang Feifei was disappointed, she didn’t say anything more on the topic.

Luo Ziling was preoccupied and felt a bit uneasy while with Ouyang Feifei, unable to relax and chat freely, hence he didn’t know what to say.

Ouyang Feifei wasn’t much of a talker either, and she felt that when a man and woman are together, it should be the man who initiates conversation. Therefore, the two of them fell silent.

“I’m going back,” Luo Ziling stood up with a bit of awkwardness, “I’m a bit tired and want to go back to sleep early.”

Ouyang Feifei glanced at the clock on the wall, which showed it was only eight-forty, but she didn’t try to detain him and stood up as well, “Alright then!”

She called for Wang Qing to come in and asked Wang Qing to take Luo Ziling back.

Luo Ziling didn’t refuse and got into Wang Qing’s car.

But before the car reached the school, Luo Ziling asked Wang Qing to let him out.

“I’m feeling a bit upset, I’ll walk around and get some fresh air,” Luo Ziling explained the reason for wanting to get out of the car.

Wang Qing didn’t say much, simply pulled over to let Luo Ziling out.

After saying thanks, Luo Ziling walked away briskly.

In October in Yanjing, the weather was already quite cool, and the air was very dry. The night wind on the face was actually not comfortable.

But Luo Ziling didn’t pay attention to these things, walking forward aimlessly, his steps mechanical.

He could have never dreamed that things would suddenly turn out this way; what was supposed to be a warm and romantic trip had become like this.

The anticipated seven-day journey came to an end in just two and a half days, cut short by tremendous upheaval.

Luo Ziling actually didn’t know how serious the situation truly was, but from Yang Qingyin’s reaction and the earlier reminder from Ouyang Feifei, he had a slight understanding.

The Yang Family not only didn’t want him and his father Luo Xusheng to return to Yanjing but also wanted them dead.

Hatred as deep as life and death was not so easily resolved.

Luo Ziling inevitably felt sorrow in his heart.

“Why are you a member of the Yang Family, and I from the Luo Family?” he sighed heavenward upon reaching the bank of a small river.

That night, Luo Ziling barely slept well, and whenever he fell asleep, he would have dreams, all related to him and Yang Qingyin.

In his dream, while he was playing with Yang Qingyin, suddenly a gang of menacing people charged at them, forcibly separated them, kidnapped Yang Qingyin, and pinned him to the ground. Strangely, he found himself powerless to resist and was easily subdued by those people.

Then he dreamt of Ling Ruonan.

As a group of people held him down, Ling Ruonan, with disheveled hair, rushed over, crying and shouting at them, but to no avail.

Eventually, those people lifted him up and threw him off a high cliff.

Luo Ziling woke with a dreadful scream, only to find that he had actually fallen off the bed.

Lying on the floor for a long time, he finally got up with a wry smile and got back into bed.

After much thought, he felt he should discuss this matter with Ling Ruonan since it was of great importance. If the Yang Family wanted to cause him trouble, he definitely couldn’t handle it alone and would need Ling Ruonan’s help.

More importantly, he didn’t want Ling Ruonan to be kept in the dark. He was aware that Ling Ruonan had already prepared for such situations, in case the Yang Family found out about his coming to the Capital. If she wasn’t informed, she might be caught off guard and others could harm her.

He took out his phone, intending to compose a WeChat message to tell Ling Ruonan everything. But upon taking out his phone, he saw a message sent to him by the contact marked with an “M” at just past eleven at night.

“Tomorrow afternoon at four o’clock, Wuyue will pick you up at the school gate. We’ll have dinner together, I have something very important to tell you, and you must come, okay? Remember, don’t let anyone get a clear look at you.”

There were several hug emojis following the message.

Seeing this message, Luo Ziling was stunned.

Ling Ruonan had already learned about these things and had taken the initiative to talk to him.

The thought gave Luo Ziling a great sense of relief. Although he was different from others, he was still a boy who hadn’t fully grown up; a boy who had lacked maternal love since childhood and longed even more for his parents’ care.

Especially after coming to the Capital, knowing Ling Ruonan had always been concerned about him made him crave even more for his mother’s affection.

After such a significant incident had occurred, his first thought was to seek help from Ling Ruonan, hoping for the support of his mother’s love.

That Ling Ruonan had reached out to him before he could ask for help, inviting him to have a meal together, of course, filled Luo Ziling with excitement.

Looking at the message and the hug emojis that followed, his tears couldn’t help but flow.

“Could she have been waiting for my response all this time? Would she have been unable to sleep without hearing from me?” With that thought, Luo Ziling replied to the message, “I just fell asleep and didn’t see your message. I’ll be at the east gate tomorrow afternoon at four o’clock waiting for Wuyue.”

He added several hug emojis as well.

Checking the time of the reply, it was 3:40 in the morning, “She’s probably asleep by now, right? But she’ll definitely check her phone first thing when she wakes up.” With that thought, Luo Ziling felt a bit more at peace and went back to sleep after tossing his phone aside.

As Luo Ziling had guessed, after sending the message, Ling Ruonan really had been waiting for his reply.

Although she eventually fell asleep due to exhaustion, she didn’t sleep well and kept the phone by her pillow.

The moment the notification sound went off, Ling Ruonan woke up from her half-asleep state and saw Luo Ziling’s reply, which thrilled her immensely. He was willing to meet with her, what could be more joyous than that?

She read the short message over and over again but couldn’t think of what to reply right away.

In the end, she sent back this message, “Go back to sleep, we’ll meet tomorrow.”
