Ch. 167 - The Suspension Bridge Effect
People who are regulars in the dating scene are a few fractions faster at unbuttoning with one hand than ordinary people.
People who are regulars at the hospital are naturally proficient in the characteristics of patients in each department.
Lu Xing walked through the gastroenterology department, where everyone was queuing and being polite, the orthopedics department, where hammers and electric drills were clanging and sparking with lightning, and finally arrived at the gastroenterology department.
On a bench in the corridor, Lu Xing saw the senior sister.
She was tiredly leaning her head against the cold wall, her lips were pale, and her eyes were glistening with tears. A flush that wouldn't go away covered her cheeks. She was curled up there, looking pitiful.
The senior sister was already in this much discomfort, yet there was still a buzz-cut boy in a floral shirt and sunglasses standing by her side. He was holding a WeChat QR code in his hand, chattering endlessly, trying to get her to add him as a friend.
"Beauty, do you smell something burning? That's my heart burning for you!"
"Add me on WeChat, beauty. You've already harmed me, harmed me into liking you so much!"
"Beauty..."
Lu Xing couldn't hold it in anymore.
It would be strange if he could get a girl like this. When a person is at their most uncomfortable, instead of taking care of her, he's letting his little head control his big head. Simply a psycho.
"Are you okay?"
Lu Xing walked forward, supported the senior sister's trembling shoulder, and by the way, blocked the buzz-cut's line of sight.
Liu Qingqing blinked her eyes, gently pinched the corner of Lu Xing's shirt, and murmured weakly.
"I'm uncomfortable."
She was already feeling like crying after the gastroscopy. Not to mention this buzz-cut was buzzing in her ear.
If she hadn't seen Lu Xing coming over, she would have long since told this buzz-cut to get lost.
But now it seemed...
This buzz-cut had played his part.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingqing forced an even more pitiful smile, trying to make herself look even more pathetic.
This was also one of the steps in the Star Chasing Guide: Showing weakness.
Lu Xing effortlessly pulled the senior sister into his arms and turned his head to say to the buzz-cut.
"You're still not leaving?"
Boo-hoo-hoo.
Only heaven knows how much Lu Xing's heart was collapsing under his forceful words right now.
'Why is the senior sister wearing a pink halter-neck off-the-shoulder T-shirt?'
When he held her shoulder, the soft and tender feel of her skin was directly within reach.
Lu Xing's hand felt as if it had been burned and he wanted to move it away, but this dead buzz-cut wouldn't leave. He could only put on a dead act here, and he even saw the senior sister's reddening ears.
F*ck!
Oh, heavens, distinguish the loyal from the treacherous!
I really didn't mean to take advantage of her!
"Hey! How are you talking? Are you looking for a beating?"
The buzz-cut was unconvinced. He had already had his Dao heart shattered when he saw this sweet little beauty shrink into this pretty boy's arms and act coquettishly.
The result?
This pretty boy even dared to be so forceful?
Fine.
"Do you fucking know that in this area, I'm..."
"Which company does your father work for?"
Lu Xing, holding the senior sister in his arms, asked the buzz-cut with extreme naturalness.
In an instant.
All sorts of novel plots flew around in the buzz-cut's mind. He fell silent.
'No way...'
Is this a male-protagonist plot or a female-protagonist plot?
The buzz-cut scanned Lu Xing's clothes from head to toe.
Damn it.
They are all famous brands.
F*ck!
I woke up too fast. I've run into a rich-second-generation-and-Cinderella plot.
After a wave of analysis with his smooth brain, the buzz-cut instantly understood the true identity of this pretty boy in front of him.
"It's a misunderstanding, bro. It's all a misunderstanding. That, that, my grandma gave birth to my dad(?). I'll go see if it's a boy or a girl. I'll be leaving first. I wish you and your sister-in-law a long and happy life!"
In the middle of his speech...
The buzz-cut, as if he had turned on a sprint, ran off in a flash.
Liu Qingqing was stunned. Lu Xing laughed.
"When you're out and about, your identity is what you make it."
"You're so amazing. I've learned something!"
Liu Qingqing also laughed, two small dimples on her fair, small face, cute and sweet.
Lu Xing was just about to speak when he smelled the fresh fragrance from the senior sister's hair.
Hiss...
It smells quite nice.
Lu Xing let go of his hand holding the senior sister's shoulder.
"Can you walk by yourself?"
"I can. Thank you, junior brother."
Although Liu Qingqing was reluctant, she still left Lu Xing's embrace.
'The Star Chasing Guide: Appropriate physical contact.'
Enough.
No more.
Any more, and she won't be able to take it.
A blush appeared on Liu Qingqing's cheeks. She held the medical report in her hand and said weakly.
"I'm sorry, junior brother. My gastroscopy was scheduled a few days ago. I thought there would be enough time today, but someone in front had an accident, and my time was postponed. By the time it was my turn, you were asking me for the address, so I sent it to you."
"The doctor said my throat is narrower than an average person's, so a gastroscopy is even more uncomfortable."
"I was uncomfortable after the gastroscopy, so I sat here for a while. I didn't expect to run into that strange person just now."
Lu Xing nodded. "Do you feel better now?"
Liu Qingqing looked up in surprise, blinking her eyes and staring at Lu Xing. "You're not mad at me?"
Lu Xing couldn't help but laugh. "What's there to be mad at you for? Life is full of accidents. Let's go, let's go."
Liu Qingqing looked at Lu Xing's back, a sweet smile on her lips.
Lu Xing is so nice.
"Here, wipe your hands. I always feel that hospitals are not very clean."
Liu Qingqing followed Lu Xing's steps, took out a pink wet wipe with a cartoon character on it from her bag, and handed it over.
'The Star Chasing Guide : Always have some small items ready.'
Lu Xing wiped his hands with the wet wipe, thinking that he was also doing well. He had always been giving these things to others. This time, he was also using them himself.
"Thank you, senior sister."
"But..." Lu Xing looked at the electric bike in front of him with confusion, took the helmet Liu Qingqing handed him, and put it on. "Are we going back on this?"
"Lower your head."
Liu Qingqing stood on her tiptoes, stuck a bamboo dragonfly on Lu Xing's helmet, and said with a sweet smile.
"Of course. You have to hold on tight to me later. Otherwise, the bamboo dragonfly will take you to the sky!"
'The Star Chasing Guide: Always give little surprises.'
Lu Xing reached out and touched the bamboo dragonfly on top of his helmet, thinking that this 2D senior sister's actions were really quite chuunibyou.
But it didn't seem to be very annoying.
Speaking of which, he often dealt with rich ladies. It was really rare to meet someone like the senior sister who was... not very rich.
Mm.
Quite good.
"Let me take you, senior sister."
Lu Xing tried to fight for the right to drive the electric bike.
It wasn't that he didn't trust the senior sister's driving skills. It was mainly that one of them was a man and the other was a woman. It was really inconvenient for him to sit in the back with his legs spread.
"Don't worry. I'm very good at driving. And you need to get used to it if you drive."
Liu Qingqing had no intention of letting Lu Xing drive the electric bike. Are you kidding me? If Lu Xing drove, how would her later plans be implemented?
"Alright."
Lu Xing got on the back of the senior sister's electric bike. He was tall to begin with, so he instantly had a feeling of holding the senior sister in his arms.
'No, I can't do this.'
Lu Xing carefully moved back, leaving a space between the two of them, and was finally relieved.
"I'm seated. We can go now."
Lu Xing said a sentence, and then regretted it the next second.
For no other reason.
The senior sister looked as cute as a little cake.
But she drove the electric bike fiercer than a motorcycle, starting from zero and shooting out directly.
Lu Xing was dumbfounded. The cold wind slapped his face. He briefly made eye contact with a driver who was being overtaken by the electric bike. They both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Lu Xing: You can even overtake a car?
Driver: I was overtaken by an electric bike?
Holy f*ck!
Oh my god!
"Senior sister, senior sister! Thousands of roads, safety is the first!"
"It's about to rain, junior brother. I'm driving a little faster. Otherwise, if we get wet, we'll catch a cold, and our noses will be very uncomfortable."
Liu Qingqing said in a soft and cute way, but her hands did not slow down at all.
Screech—
At a red light, the senior sister slammed on the brakes. Lu Xing rushed forward due to inertia. The empty space in the middle completely disappeared. He directly held the senior sister tightly, and a fresh fragrance instantly drilled into his blank mind.
Feeling that she was completely enveloped and held by Lu Xing, the corners of Liu Qingqing's mouth lifted imperceptibly.
