The Young Urban Doctor Novel - Chapter 387
Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Birthday Party
“Boss, how come you didn’t spruce yourself up at all?” After the three guys had gotten ready, Cao Jianhui looked at Luo Ziling who was still in his usual clothes, with unkempt hair and glasses perched on his nose, hiding most of his handsome face. At a first casual glance, it really was hard to recognize this as a good-looking young man unless one walked up close and brushed aside his hair. So, perplexed, he asked, “Are you scared of being devoured alive by Beauty Ouyang’s classmates? Purposely making yourself look this ugly?”
“Congratulations, you guessed it,” Luo Ziling didn’t deny it and readily nodded in admission.
This retort left the three guys, who had meticulously dressed up for twenty-eight minutes, choked up and itching to gang up on him, but thinking about Luo Ziling’s terrifying combat power, they eventually gave up the idea.
“Eh, Boss, how come you didn’t bring a gift?” asked Li Fuming, surprised, as he carried a gift out the door and saw Luo Ziling empty-handed, “Aren’t you bringing a present?”
“It’s in my pocket,” Luo Ziling patted his flat pocket and then patted Li Fuming’s shoulder, smiling, “Let’s go.”
“Wow, don’t tell me you’re planning to present yourself as the gift to Ouyang Huihui?” Cao Jianhui yelled with a surprised look, only to receive a kick in the butt from Luo Ziling and promptly make his escape.
The four of them chatted and laughed as they left the men’s dormitory and hailed a taxi at the school gate. Shengshi Garden Entertainment Club was about four kilometers away from the school. When the four took a cab there, they encountered a bit of traffic congestion, and it actually took nearly half an hour to arrive.
“It would take about the same time on foot,” Luo Ziling lamented with a frustrated face after getting out of the cab, “We might as well have walked.”
“Boss, you’re tall and have long legs; we couldn’t keep up with you,” Cao Jianhui kept up his cheery demeanor all the way, and after getting out of the car, he continued in a merry tone, “If we walked together, you’d have arrived early, maybe even have done unspeakable things with Ouyang Huihui, and we wouldn’t have even made it yet!”
Before he could finish, Cao Jianhui dodged a step ahead, successfully avoiding Luo Ziling’s intended kick.
It was Luo Ziling’s second time visiting an entertainment club, but this one was clearly more upscale than the KTV they had gone to sing at last time. As the four of them entered, they saw a row of women dressed in cheongsams with high slits and revealing a large area of their chests, holding little purses and standing in a lineup.
As the four walked in, these dazzling women all bowed in greeting, affording the four virgins a feast for their eyes.
Cao Jianhui had been through many such scenes, so he was the least flustered and even purposefully glanced a few extra times at the chests of a few of the more attractive women.
Luo Ziling, embarrassed, blushed and hurriedly walked ahead, following Cao Jianhui with his eyes fixed straight ahead, passing by the line of beautiful scenery.
The most overwhelmed were Wu Longjiang and Li Fuming. The two, because of their nervousness and excitement and not wanting to miss out on such a beautiful sight, perhaps got a little too absorbed and ended up bumping into each other as they walked forward, nearly falling over.
Amid the silent snickers of the greeting hostesses, the two scurried off awkwardly, beating Luo Ziling and Cao Jianhui to the elevator.
Ouyang Huihui had booked a private room on the fifth floor; she had informed Luo Ziling that it was the room 8888 on the fifth floor via message.
After exiting the elevator, the floor’s hostess led them to room 8888.
When the door to the private room was opened, Luo Ziling was shocked because the room was huge, at least a hundred or more square meters. And the interior was extremely luxurious, like walking into an extravagantly decorated house.
As the host for the day, Ouyang Huihui was already inside the room. She was dressed very beautifully, with her long hair casually draped behind her, like a black waterfall, gone was her usual rush, instead, she seemed very ladylike. A white dress revealed her beautiful figure, making her seem even taller, and her exposed pale arms added to her allure.
Seeing her like this, even Luo Ziling was stunned, not to mention the other three creatures with a high enthusiasm for beauties.
After walking through the door, Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang all froze in place, staring blankly at the celestial beauty, Ouyang Huihui, until Luo Ziling kicked each of them in the back, prompting them to snap out of it.
“Huihui, happy birthday,” said Cao Jianhui, the quickest to recover, as he scurried forward and presented his gift to Ouyang Huihui. “We’re just students and quite poor, so we couldn’t afford fancy gifts. Please don’t look down on it.”
Wu Longjiang and Li Fuming also hurriedly stepped forward and handed over their gifts.
The three guys came from well-off families, and to buy gifts for Ouyang Huihui, they had racked their brains, finally choosing gifts they thought were pretty good but also affordable.
Cao Jianhui got a bottle of regular Chanel perfume, Li Fuming chose an exquisite accessory, and Wu Longjiang picked out an imported lipstick. The few hundred yuan they spent, by their own admission, could be saved just by nibbling on pickled radishes for breakfast for a semester.
Ouyang Huihui received their gifts with a smile and thanked them, then cocked her head and looked at Luo Ziling, “And your gift?”
Luo Ziling pulled a small bag out of his pocket and handed it to Ouyang Huihui, “This is Saffron I picked myself. It’s for you to brew tea.”
Luo Ziling actually didn’t know what gift to buy. He also thought buying gifts was tacky, so he just gave some of the precious herbs he brought as a gift to Ouyang Huihui.
Today, what Ouyang Huihui hoped for the most was to see Luo Ziling come in, dressed very handsomely, and then give her a very expensive gift in front of everyone else. That would satisfy her vanity and give her face in front of the other students.
But to her disappointment and irritation, Luo Ziling didn’t dress up properly, looking like he just crawled out of bed, even wearing glasses, obviously not willing to show his true face. This frustrated Ouyang Huihui, who had anticipated his arrival to dazzle everyone. Seeing that he didn’t bring a gift, and now took out a small bag from his pocket, she became even more upset.
However, after hearing that it was Saffron picked by Luo Ziling himself, her frustration was immediately alleviated by a large amount.
For someone like her, the actual gifts from others didn’t matter much; it was the thought that counted.
Luo Ziling wasn’t tacky, not giving her something predictable, but instead gave her Saffron he picked himself.
She had a rough idea of the value of a bag of Saffron, and since it was picked by Luo Ziling himself, her heart bloomed with joy.
“Thank you so much!” Ouyang Huihui took the small bag, and her slightly pursed lips turned up into a smile as she happily expressed her gratitude.
Seeing Ouyang Huihui smiling so sweetly at Luo Ziling, her classmates and some other friends couldn’t help feeling very surprised.
They immediately concluded that the relationship between Ouyang Huihui and this somewhat unkempt man was not ordinary.
Thus, as soon as Luo Ziling entered, he became the focus of many people’s attention.
