The Young Urban Doctor Novel - Chapter 309
Chapter 309: Chapter 309: This is the Reward
“Well, the barbecue here tastes pretty good; let’s hurry up and eat,” Luo Ziling, fearing the two women would start arguing, quickly made peace.
“Luo Ziling, I want to eat an oyster,” Ouyang Huihui pointed at the grilled oysters near Luo Ziling and said unapologetically, “Could you get one for me, please?”
As requested, Luo Ziling took one for her. Ouyang Huihui, who had previously said she didn’t like eating oysters, immediately took it and began eating with relish, clearly trying to show off to Yang Qingyin.
Yang Qingyin was unfazed. She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of fish, and began eating gracefully. When she was alone with Luo Ziling, her smile was always flower-like and charming. But now, with others around, her smile was gone, though her demeanor wasn’t as haughty as usual.
“Try the grilled oyster; it tastes great,” Luo Ziling said attentively as he served one to Yang Qingyin, smiling, “But you girls should still eat less barbecue; too much greasy food isn’t good for you.”
Ouyang Huihui had already noticed that Yang Qingyin wasn’t planning to confront her head-on, and though she was fuming inside, she realized what she had to do. Thus, she didn’t act aggressively or unreasonably but elegantly began to eat and didn’t say much.
Luo Ziling himself picked up an oyster and said with a smile, “I seldom ate these before; I didn’t expect them to taste so good.”
After putting the oyster in his mouth, he asked Li Fuming, “Fuming, since your hometown is near the sea, do you eat these kinds of things often?”
“Yeah,” finally getting a chance to speak, Li Fuming appeared quite excited, “My home is not far from the sea, so I often get to eat seafood.”
“Junior brother, if you want to eat seafood, you could go to the seaside for a holiday with your roommate,” Yang Qingyin smiled at Luo Ziling and whispered.
Her smile was beautiful, especially when directed at Luo Ziling, with not a hint of pretense, leaving the other three male students spellbound.
“Let’s go together when we’re free, raid Fuming’s place, and eat all the seafood at his house,” Luo Ziling smiled back at Yang Qingyin, then said to Li Fuming, “Why not, when you’re ready, invite us over, and we’ll all head to your place to see the sea and eat seafood.”
“Of course, you’re very welcome,” Li Fuming suddenly became very excited, “Yang… senior sister, Huihui, you should come with us too, my whole family would be thrilled to have you.”
“I accept your invitation,” Ouyang Huihui smiled elegantly and then asked Luo Ziling, “Would you accept me as your travel companion?”
“With a beauty joining, they’re definitely very excited,” Luo Ziling pointed at the three roommates beside him who were brimming with excitement. “I would also love to see the sea; hopefully, there will be a chance.”
Yang Qingyin didn’t say anything. She felt there was nothing to say on such a matter, as her expression told everything.
If Luo Ziling were to go, he would certainly take her along.
She had noticed that Ouyang Huihui was deliberately acting elegant and noble. As someone who was naturally cold, she was even less inclined to compete over such matters.
Besides, she didn’t consider Ouyang Huihui a rival in the first place.
After a brief confrontation, Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Huihui stopped their silent battle, much to the disappointment of Cao Jianhui, Wu Longjiang, and Li Fuming. They had hoped to see two beautiful women fighting over Luo Ziling out of jealousy, which would satisfy their gossipy nature.
Unfortunately, the two women didn’t argue or fight.
Upon reflection, they didn’t feel regretful.
As men, they didn’t want two attractive women to fight over Luo Ziling out of jealousy, because it would severely wound their self-esteem. If two beauties publicly fought over Luo Ziling, wouldn’t it mean that Luo Ziling was simply too outstanding? Being a roommate to such a person would mean a lifetime relegated to being just a backdrop. They were still single after all.
There’s one more thing, Yang Qingyin was the goddess they all looked up to, and her behavior just now was exactly goddess-like, unaffected by favor or disgrace, occasionally flashing a smile so stunning it was otherworldly.
If she were to lose her composure and become jealous over a man, would she still be the goddess everyone admired?
She’s gone crazy.
Similarly, the fact that Ouyang Huihui didn’t show anger or jealousy made them respect the beauty even more.
Goddesses are high above, completely different from ordinary girls. If just now Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Huihui had gotten jealous over Luo Ziling, fought in public, or even come to blows, the image of a goddess would have totally collapsed in their minds.
This late-night snack, actually, nobody really enjoyed it.
The one who ate the most was also Luo Ziling, and he was also the most embarrassed.
After finishing eating, Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang were ready to take off; they didn’t plan to wade into troubled waters. The affairs between these two women and Luo Ziling were not something they could interfere with.
Although they were still very curious about how things would end up between the two women and one man, what they could do now was to beat a hasty retreat.
About what would happen afterward, they would interrogate Luo Ziling after he returned to the dorm—if he was willing to disclose.
After finishing the late-night food and leaving the checkout, Luo Ziling still had a headache.
But to his surprise, something unexpected happened right after they walked out of the barbecue restaurant. Ouyang Huihui very sensibly suggested she leave first; she wanted to go back to the dormitory to take a bath, so she wouldn’t disturb Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin.
Watching Ouyang Huihui’s enticing long legs as she walked away and disappeared into the night, Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief.
“I ate too much, need to walk it off,” Yang Qingyin, who had put her guard back up, smiled and said to Luo Ziling, “Would you like to take a walk with me by Lake Wuming?”
“If I say I don’t want to, I’m sure I’d be struck by lightning tonight,” Luo Ziling said seriously, pointing up at the sky.
Yang Qingyin was immediately amused by Luo Ziling’s words, “Then can the little girl say she’s very honored?”
“You can’t say that!”
“Why not?” Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling in surprise.
“It should be my line,” Luo Ziling naturally took Yang Qingyin’s hand, “I’m truly honored that you graced us with your presence for the late-night snack today.”
“Really?” Yang Qingyin didn’t let go of his hand but held on to it tightly, still smiling happily, “Then should you reward me? Treat me to another late-night snack or a big meal tomorrow?”
“That request isn’t very good,” Luo Ziling shook his head seriously, “Treating you to a meal is too common. Choose something else.”
“Then what’s the reward?” Yang Qingyin stopped, curiously looking at Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling leaned in close to Yang Qingyin, asking in a mysterious manner, “Do you want to know?”
“Of course I want to know, quick, tell me what you have in mind for my reward?”
Luo Ziling brought his head even closer, then quickly pecked on Yang Qingyin’s lips and started laughing as he let go of her hand, and ran away, “That’s the reward.”
“Annoying junior, you’re bullying me again,” Yang Qingyin, who had been sneakily kissed, swung her small hands and chased after him.
