Volume 1: Young and Reckless! Chapter 124: Emotional Outburst!

  Qin Luo is not a person who is greedy for power, and for him, that thing is dispensable. What he wanted to do in the beginning was to establish this Chinese Medicine Association, which aimed to gather all the Chinese medicine talents across China, to jointly contribute to the development of Chinese medicine.

  In his view, the head of the guild should be elected through public election. Everyone jointly recommends a person with both virtues and talents to be the head.

  However, it turned out that the first president was "appointed". This did not match his initial idea and was also the reason he refused.

  As for his humble words "too young", "shallow experience" and so on, they are nothing but excuses for refusal.

  Youth is normal. But when did Qin Luo put seniority in his eyes?

  Upon seeing Qin Luo agree, Cai Gongmin's expression also relaxed, and he said: "Qin Luo, I know this is different from your original plan. But have you thought about it? If the first president is elected in the way you suggested, won't it just become another farce of vote-buying and bribery? You originally said that you didn't want the government to interfere too much with the guild's affairs. However, what if someone has incredible abilities and can bring out some big shots from the government departments? At that time, would you let him take office or not? The more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen."

  "And how many members does the Chinese Medicine Association have now? Waiting for enough members to gather before holding an election, isn't that a waste of time? We can't afford to delay any longer. Chinese medicine has been stagnant for so many years, and this is the crucial moment when someone needs to pull this broken cart forward with effort. No slackening is allowed."

  Cai Gongmin pulled Qin Luo to sit down at the dinner table, and Minghao immediately went out to order food. Cai Gongmin said: "In the future, the Chinese Medicine Association will be affiliated with the Ministry of Health, and I will personally supervise it. Of course, when the time comes, I will give you full authority. I will also try my best to give you more autonomy. This is what I think, as the first president, I have chosen you, Qin Luo. I believe in your ability, and I have high hopes for you. This is a brand new medical organization, and everything needs to be started from scratch. There are many things to do, and they are all very complicated. So, I need to find someone who can take care of all this. As for the presidential election system you mentioned, after you take office, you can promote the implementation of this system yourself, right?"

  "Alright, I understand." Qin Luo nodded and said.

  It turns out that I didn't think it through enough. My own ideas still have some idealistic color, while Deputy Minister Cai is more able to get into the practical problems.

  "But there's another thing that's a bit tricky." Cai Gongmin said with a frown.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Luo asked.

  "Because you proposed that the guild be self-sufficient and not require government funding to maintain, I'm afraid I won't be able to provide much financial support. Perhaps all I can offer is an office space and a portion of the initial start-up funds," said Cai Gongmin.

  Qin Luo thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Minister, I appreciate your kindness. However, I think that since the association wants to be independent in the future, it's best not to accept funding. As for the office location and initial start-up capital, I'll figure out a way to raise them myself."

  Cai Gongmin smiled and nodded, patting Qin Luo's shoulder forcefully, saying: "I knew you'd say that. Qin Luo, I didn't misjudge you. When others do things, they all desperately ask me for conditions, policies, and financial support, but you can actually push these things away - if someone like you can't make it happen, then Chinese medicine is truly beyond salvation."

  Qin Luo returned to the Lin family apartment by car when it was already past 10 o'clock at night.

  The living room lights were on, and upon hearing the sound of the car engine, Li Shuo quickly ran out, smiling and saying: "Qin Luo, you're back. Have you eaten dinner? There's a lot of leftover food from tonight, if you're hungry I can heat some up for you."

  Because Qin Luo has a good face and is very kind, so Li usually takes care of him. In fact, she is even more affectionate with Qin Luo than with Lin Heqing.

  No way, Lin Xuanxi is cold as ice all day long, who dares to get close and be intimate with her?

  "I've eaten already, thank you Aunt Li." Qin Luo said with a smile.

  "Don't be polite. It's what should be." Li Shu said while closing the door.

  "Where's Grandpa Lin?" Qin Luo asked. At this time, Lin Qingyuan was usually reading the newspaper and drinking tea in the living room. But today, he didn't see his shadow.

  "Old Master called back and said he won't be coming back for dinner. Maybe there's something important at the hospital," said Li Shuo. Without waiting for Qin Luo to speak, she whispered again: "The young lady is upstairs. She went up after eating."

  "Alright." Qin Luo nodded and headed upstairs to the second floor.

  Lin Huanxi's revenge on himself by getting Li Shu to wake him up early made Qin Luo laugh. He didn't expect this woman to have such a cute side.

  Qin Luo walked to the front of Lin Huanxi's door, just as he was about to stretch out his hand to knock on it like last time. His hand was raised in mid-air, and before he could even bring it down, the room door creaked open from the inside.

  Lin Xun wore a cotton nightgown with an ancient pattern printed on it, standing at the door with a calm expression and said, "I didn't sleep."

  Qin Luo's mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say.

  He didn't expect this woman would actually give him a move like this.

  She had already guessed that he would come knocking on her door when she heard his voice coming back, so she was prepared one step ahead.

  "Haha, good thing I didn't sleep. Let's chat." Qin Luo said with a smile.

  "I'm sleepy. I'll go to sleep now." said Lin Xuanxi.

  "It doesn't matter. You'll stay awake chatting with me." Qin Luo said confidently in a self-praising tone, like the old woman selling melons.

  Before Lin Xuan answered, he squeezed into her room. Taking a deep breath, a refreshing fragrance immediately filled the air.

  The body scent of a mature woman is the best catalyst for men's desire. That enchanting smell can drive people crazy.

  Lin Xuanxi helplessly closed the door and stood far away from Qin Luo, asking: "What do you want to talk about?"

  Qin Luo looked at Lin Huanxi's vigilant appearance and smiled, saying: "I feel like our relationship is getting more and more distant? In the past when I just arrived in Yanjing, we would sit on the balcony every night drinking tea and chatting."

  Lin Xuan was taken aback. She didn't expect Qin Luo to say this to her.

  Yes. At a time when he was lost in thought, he appeared in his own world. And also, opened the door to his heart that had been closed.

  As his heart gradually opens up to her and she is deeply moved by him, he suddenly pulls back.

  This in and out made her emotions undergo a rebirth.

  Will they be able to return to their previous state of life?

  Lin Xuanxi's heart suddenly softened a bit, she walked past Qin Luo and then squatted down to take out the tea set and tea box from the cabinet, heading towards the balcony.

  Qin Luo smiled and followed Lin Xuanxi to the balcony.

  Winter has arrived in Yanjing, and the weather is getting cooler. Although the stars are shining brightly outside, it's hard to breathe in fresh air.

  The balcony was sealed with transparent glass, the heating in the house was turned up high, and even though Lin Xuan wore thin pajamas, she wouldn't feel cold.

  Lin Xuan's posture of brewing tea was still so skilled and elegant, her face didn't show joy, but had an infatuated expression. It was unknown whether she was infatuated with the art of tea or infatuated with this warm feeling of being alone with Qin Luo.

  Qin Luo picked up the tea water sent by Lin Xuan, smelled it with her nose, and smiled: "It's really fragrant. It's been a long time since I've had tea made by Sister Lin."

  Lin Xuanxi drank tea by herself and didn't respond to Qin Luo's words.

  Qin Luo knew it was just her personality and didn't mind. How many men could sit across from Lin Xuanxi, drinking the fragrant tea she personally brewed?

  "What were you just doing?" Qin Luo asked.

  "Read a book."

  "Reading books? I also like reading books. What kind of books do you read?" Qin Luo finally found a topic and grasped it tightly.

  She doesn't chase after celebrities, isn't concerned with fashion trends, and won't buy the latest LV handbags. Apart from raising flowers, she doesn't have any other special hobbies - communicating with her really isn't a simple matter.

  Lin Xun Xi didn't say anything again. Apparently, she hadn't told Qin Luo what she meant by looking at the book.

  Qin Luo's eyes were sharp and she immediately discovered the book that had been laid out on her bedside table. She got up, quickly ran over and took it back.

  "It's actually a collection of poems." Qin Luo said with a smile. Now it's really rare for people to read poetry, especially the works of foreign poets.

  Qin Luo turned over the folded page, and there was exactly where Lin Xuan had read.

  Ready for a passionate recitation, but staring blankly at the words above.

  All in English!

  Qin Luo smiled awkwardly and said, "You're too knowledgeable. You read books that others can't understand."

  Lin Xun Creek raised her head and glanced at Qin Luo, saying: "There is a translation behind." She knew that Qin Luo did not understand English.

  Qin Luo flipped to the next page and indeed found a translation in Hua Xia language.

  Qin Luo quickly scanned through it and when he saw that there were no characters he didn't recognize, he began to read aloud:

  "When your youth has passed, your temples are white with age, and you're drowsy,"

  Sitting by the stove, slowly nodding off, please take down this collection of poems for me.

  Read it slowly, like a dream, and you will relive

  "Those sparkling eyes of yours, they were once so deep and beautiful."

  "Stop reading." Lin Xuanxi said.

  "I think it's pretty good." Qin Luo said with a smile. He had previously only held the idea of selling and playing, but when he actually read this poem, he found that the artistic conception was still very beautiful.

  "How many people have loved your radiant and charming beauty"

  Love your stunning beauty, whether it's true or just an act.

  But there is one who loves you for your holy and devout heart!

  "When you've washed away your makeup and your beauty has faded with age, he still deeply loves you!"

  "Stop reading." Lin Xuan said again, his voice rising slightly.

  "The flames in the stove are warm and bright, you gently lower your head,"

  With a faint sense of desolation, for withered and extinguished love, whispering softly.

  At this time he was wandering alone among the mountains and rivers.

  Behind those stars that fill the sky and gaze at you, a face is hidden.”

  After reading it, Qin Luo was in a trance for a while and said: "It's written so well. Unfortunately, I don't know how to write poetry."

  Then he smiled and said, "Lin sister, when you're old, I definitely won't write poems for you, but I can cure your illnesses. Old people's bodies are not good, I guarantee to take care of you until you're rosy-cheeked and healthy."

  Lin Xun's suppressed emotions finally erupted. She slammed the teacup in her hand onto the tea table, her eyes furiously staring at Qin Luo as she shouted hoarsely: "How can you always be like this? How can you always be like this?"
