Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Scumbag

Fortunately, Yang Xiaofei had a pretty strong mental fortitude and managed to compose herself after a short while.

"Sorry, I must have made a fool of myself."

"How could I laugh at you?" Wang Chenning shook his head. "Life is full of surprises!"

After that little incident, when they came to the icy steps ahead, Wang Chenning had the perfect excuse to help Yang Xiaofei by the arm.

Although Yang Xiaofei resisted slightly, she still allowed Wang Chenning to help her.

However, by the time they reached the foot of the expert faculty building where Wang Chenning lived, she had lost interest in going up for a visit.

The little accident had shattered her pride, and she felt she no longer had the confidence to face Wang Chenning.

After a moment’s hesitation, she followed Wang Chenning upstairs anyway.

On the way, Wang Chenning sent Wu Ziyue a text message.

When he led Yang Xiaofei inside and opened the door, he found the guest room door half-open. The person on the small bed was gone, and so was the bedding.

He knew where Wu Ziyue was hiding, but Yang Xiaofei didn’t notice there was another person in the apartment.

After sitting down, Yang Xiaofei pointed to the spot where she had sat during her last visit. "I think I only sat here for five minutes last time before I was kicked out!"

Wang Chenning smiled. "But didn’t I keep you company on that long car ride afterward?"

Yang Xiaofei suddenly became very angry. "If my grandfather hadn’t been critically ill, would you have just let everything drop?"

Wang Chenning spread his hands helplessly. "So you’re saying I have to marry you for this to be settled?"

His words made Yang Xiaofei even angrier. She almost lost her temper on the spot.

But after taking a few deep breaths, she patiently explained, "I’ve never wanted my marriage and happiness to be controlled by others, but I do believe in honoring agreements. I won’t easily go back on something that’s been decided. What I wanted to tell you when I asked to meet that day was this: we can try to get to know each other. If we grow to like one another, or if we can accept each other as partners, then we’ll honor the marriage contract. If we both feel it’s not a good fit, then we can negotiate to dissolve it!"

Completely contrary to her usual disposition, she blurted out this long speech and became even angrier. "And you? Have you ever respected me?"

Yang Xiaofei saying such things? Wang Chenning thought it defied all Science!

His mind worked fast, however, and he immediately admitted his mistake. "It seems I misunderstood what you all meant!"

"’You all’?" Yang Xiaofei paused, then frowned. "Did Yang Xiaodong contact you before?"

"It might be immoral to speak ill of someone behind their back, but I did receive a threatening message from Yang Xiaodong before coming to see you."

The frown on Yang Xiaofei’s face eased slightly. She gave a small nod. "I see."

After a moment of silence, she added softly, "I hope that before our marriage contract is officially dissolved, you can show me some respect!"

"You’re not taking out the anger from your slip just now on me, are you?" Wang Chenning knew she was referring to the matter between him and Zhao Xiao’an, but he played dumb. "Whatever you want me to do, I already agreed!"

Yang Xiaofei gave Wang Chenning a cold look, then spat out a single word: "Scumbag!"

Wang Chenning spread his hands. "A virgin scumbag, though. There can’t be many of those in the world, right?"

When he had integrated the memories and skills of that otherworldly master, he had been warned: the later in life he got involved with women, the greater his achievements would be in all aspects.

So, to improve his skills in all areas, he had always stayed away from women.

In the past two years, he’d noticed that his skills hadn’t really improved, which made him realize he was probably free to get involved with women now.

The integrated memories contained plenty of techniques for picking up girls, but his own practical experience was zero.

’How embarrassing!’

For Wang Chenning to say such a thing to her face, Yang Xiaofei was so furious she wanted to stab him.

"I have to go. I’m leaving now!" She couldn’t continue this conversation with him.

However, her mood had lightened a little.

"Uh, you haven’t finished your tea!" Wang Chenning pointed to the cup of West Lake Longjing tea, which she had only taken a single sip of.

But Yang Xiaofei offered no explanation, simply getting up and walking away.

Wang Chenning had no choice but to see her out.

As she was about to get in the car, Yang Xiaofei’s expression became calm again.

"You should be treating me in the next couple of days, right?" Her tone was also calm as she said this.

Wang Chenning couldn’t help but smile, but he still nodded. "If I’m free tonight, I’ll come over and treat you."

"Okay!" Yang Xiaofei said nothing more.

When Wang Chenning returned to his apartment, Wu Ziyue was already lying back in bed.

Seeing Wang Chenning return, she didn’t greet him, but just said a single word: "Scumbag!"

"Damn it, what right do you have to call me that? Have I been a scumbag to you?" Wang Chenning was furious. "If you call me a scumbag again, I’ll be a scumbag to you first!"

"You just try it!" Wu Ziyue’s voice was laced with contempt. She then closed her eyes and ignored him.

Wang Chenning looked just as contemptuous. "In your dreams!"

"..."

Wang Chenning was actually quite magnanimous; he didn’t refuse to treat Wu Ziyue just because she had called him a scumbag.

In the afternoon, he applied another round of medicine to her face, performed acupuncture once, and also treated the scars on her legs.

Just as he finished cleaning up, he received a call from Wu Weizhong, the monitor of the class he taught.

"Teacher Wang, would you like to have dinner with us tonight?" Wu Weizhong said with a grin. He explained that they had run into a lot of problems with their studies and wanted to hear Teacher Wang’s guidance in person. It also happened to be one of their dorm mates’ birthday, so they invited him to celebrate and chat.

"Teacher Wang, you can’t turn us down! I already bragged to everyone that you’d definitely come! It’s cold out, and hot pot would be a great treat."

"Alright," Wang Chenning agreed after a moment’s thought. "I’ll head over in a bit."

The place Wu Weizhong and his friends had chosen for dinner was a well-known hot pot restaurant about half a kilometer from the school.

When Wang Chenning arrived, Wu Weizhong and six or seven other students were already there.

Because Wang Chenning wasn’t pretentious and got along well with his students, his arrival didn’t make anyone feel formal or reserved.

"Class Monitor, you should call your girlfriend over too!" the birthday boy said with a laugh, noticing the lack of any female company. He urged Wu Weizhong to invite his girlfriend.

Wu Weizhong’s girlfriend was a girl from the pharmaceutics class. She was pretty, with a curvy figure. The two had long since privately "explored physiological anatomy," and both knew each other’s "depths."

"She’s busy!" Wu Weizhong said, embarrassed. "She has an event to attend tonight, so she can’t make it!"

Just as everyone was expressing their disappointment, the birthday boy suddenly pointed out the window and exclaimed, "Hey, Class Monitor! Isn’t that your girlfriend?"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing. They saw a dark-skinned foreign exchange student with his arm around a Huaxia girl, walking toward a star-rated hotel nearby. The two were wrapped in each other’s arms, and the exchange student even kissed the girl right there on the street.

The girl didn’t seem to mind at all and was smiling happily.

Wu Weizhong’s face instantly turned ashen.

He took off running, sprinting all the way over to the couple. He shoved the exchange student aside and grabbed the Huaxia girl’s hand, yelling something at her in agitation.

The exchange student nearly fell from the shove and became furious. He landed a heavy kick, sending Wu Weizhong sprawling to the ground...
