Chapter 1321: Chapter 1321: I Am a Gentleman
Lin Tian really wanted to use his x-ray vision to take a peek into the medical room; he was genuinely curious about Li’s way of flirting.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
That would be peeping, and peeping on his good buddy seemed somewhat unethical — though if it were a women’s bathhouse, Lin Tian might not think so.
As Lin Tian turned back to look at the closed door of the medical room, a thought flashed through his mind: Could Li not know about Xv Qinghuan’s story?
This thought quickly passed as Lin Tian denied it — how could Li, someone so secretly flirtatious, not know? He must have browsed the goddess list several times!
But hasn’t this kid always liked girls like Qiu Wen before? Innocent and gentle.
How did his taste suddenly change to liking someone spicy like Xv Qinghuan?
Such a woman is best left alone by ordinary men, even without Du Dahai.
Too dangerous!
Just then, Li let out a scream from inside the medical room, sounding quite miserable, like the village pig slaughtering noises he’d heard before — a harsh comparison, but very apt!
Worried, Lin Tian quickly rushed back, and upon opening the door, found Xv Qinghuan holding a cotton swab, applying medicine to Li’s arm wound, not what he’d feared.
"..."
Speechless for two seconds, Lin Tian grumbled, "Why are you yelling if nothing’s wrong? Crazy! I thought..."
Li responded, "It hurt..."
Xv Qinghuan tossed the cotton swab into the waste bucket, saying softly, "That’s just iodine for disinfection, not hydrogen peroxide, nothing harsh. You’re really over-acting."
Li’s face unusually flushed as he said, "It does hurt a bit..."
"..." Lin Tian understood completely, this rascal was feigning a pitiful act in front of a girl, seriously flirtatious.
"Sorry to disturb." Saying this, Lin Tian closed the door again.
Liou Qingcheng laughed, "Did you notice, they seem like they’ve met before."
"Really? How did you know?"
"Instinct, it’s a strong feeling."
"..."
Not long after, Li emerged from the medical room, his arm bandaged simply and a cold pack on his forehead, looking somewhat amusing.
Qiu Wen’s lips moved as if to ask something, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak.
Remembering Liou Qingcheng’s instinct just now, Lin Tian curiously asked, "Do you know her?"
"Why don’t you ask how I got hurt?"
"You’re fine, don’t change the subject."
Li glanced sidelong at Qiu Wen, then said expressionlessly, "Let’s talk outside."
Qiu Wen’s gaze saddened slightly.
A security guard sitting on a chair suddenly stood up and said, "You can’t leave yet, you have to wait to give a statement to the police."
Honestly, Li didn’t want to give a statement, nor did he have much to say.
He looked at the security guard, his black uniform, and the gold-embroidered ’Black Gold’ insignia on the chest, and felt a bit amused.
Didn’t these two guards know Lin Tian and he were significant figures in Black Gold? Either of them could count as their superior, yet they blocked them both.
Nonetheless, outwardly Wu Yong called the shots, Lin Tian was the behind-the-scenes boss. As for Li, he seldom showed up in front of all the employees, so not many Black Gold staff knew him.
Even if these two guards had seen Li and Lin Tian, at school, their identities were students. Who would think they were their bosses?
Li didn’t want to trouble them, so he nodded, saying, "Okay, we’ll talk next door then. Please call us when the police arrive to take statements."
One of the guards nodded with an ’mm’ in reply.
The room Li was referring to was a ward with two neat beds, sitting there briefly wouldn’t be a problem.
Sitting on the white sheets, Lin Tian chuckled, "Can you talk now?"
Li didn’t answer, only asked, "Did you bring cigarettes?"
"I did, but it’s not a suitable place to smoke here."
"Alright..." Li was a bit speechless but still began recounting the story.
Turned out Li, Meng Nan, and Xv Qinghuan were from the same hometown. But they didn’t really know each other before.
Last winter break, Meng Nan went traveling with Sisi and didn’t return home with Li. Alone, Li coincidentally shared the same train car with Xv Qinghuan.
After meeting, Li greeted her — same hometown and classmate, exchanging greetings was normal. But they didn’t talk much, being unfamiliar.
Nothing happened during the trip until they got off, and Xv Qinghuan discovered her wallet was stolen, including cash and her phone.
Seeing Xv Qinghuan’s distress, Li approached her, learned what happened, and helped her report to the staff, lent her money, even became her guard, seeing her home before leaving.
Standing at the doorstep, Xv Qinghuan said to Li, "Wait here, I’ll go in and get the money for you."
"Alright." Li nodded with a smile, and as Xv Qinghuan headed inside, Li called to her, waved, and then left.
A pretty nice story, romantic enough, at least Liou Qingcheng thought so.
"What happened after?" Liou Qingcheng asked.
Li smiled, saying, "She never paid me back because she couldn’t find me; I skipped too many classes..."
"Did she repay you just now?" Lin Tian inquired.
Li smiled brightly again, "She wanted to, but I didn’t take it. When I escorted her home, she talked about her cooking skills, supposedly great. I wanted her to cook me a meal, and we could call it even. But she didn’t agree, only offered to take me out to eat."
Liou Qingcheng giggled again, "That’s hardly settling things, more like keeping ties — you boys are wicked. Did you get her number?"
Li shook his head, still grinning goofily, "I added her on social media."
Same thing.
"You planning to pursue her?" Lin Tian asked.
"A fair maiden, worthy of pursuit. I’m quite gentlemanly!"
"Yes, you appear gentlemanly on the surface." Lin Tian teased, then asked, "Do you think she... is suitable?"
