Chapter 245 - 237: Privilege
Feng Xinya went to work after lunch. She is the director of the military hospital. Despite her delicate and classical beauty, she is the leading authority of the military hospital. She has even been a battlefield surgeon; truly an Iron Lady.
Feng Xinya had a major surgery in the afternoon and might return very late. She instructed her son to take good care of the guests and to take Tian Xinhua and his group to the canteen for dinner, asking the canteen staff to prepare a special meal. After that, she hurriedly left. Tian Xinhua wanted to call her back to tell her they would return to Jining in the afternoon, but seeing her in a rush, he decided not to and thought it would be the same to tell Luo Jun later.
As soon as Luo Jun’s mother left, he excitedly dragged Tian Xinhua out to see the jeeps, which were parked in front of the Luos’ house. Many young men and women had gathered around the vehicles. Upon seeing Luo Jun, a strapping boy with a slightly ruffian look spoke first.
"Junzi, you have guests from Beijing?" the boy asked casually, leaning against the car door, appearing utterly relaxed as if he had no bones.
Then as he saw Tian Sisi standing behind Tian Xinhua, his eyes lit up, and he straightened up, eagerly walking towards Luo Jun, "Wow, Junzi, this must be the cousin from Beijing, right? Junzi, that’s not cool! Hiding such a pretty girl at home and not introducing her to the boys? That’s dishonest!"
"Exactly, Junzi is not being straight with us!" the other boys chimed in.
"Let me introduce myself—I’m Lei Gang, 16 years old, a good buddy of Junzi. What’s your name, miss?"
Without waiting for Luo Jun anymore, Lei Gang turned to Tian Sisi to shake hands, acting rather sycophantly. Tian Sisi couldn’t help but want to laugh; although Lei Gang’s behavior and speech were somewhat frivolous, his eyes were clean, and he wasn’t off-putting, so she extended her hand.
"Hello, I’m Tian Sisi, 13 years old."
Her voice was melodious, like an oriole emerging from a valley, and her hands were as soft as if boneless, making Lei Gang fearful that using even a slight force might crush them. He gently shook her hand only briefly before letting go. If one looked closely, they could see a blush hidden under his dark, shiny skin.
