Chapter 101: Step by step, closing in!

  Qin Luo and Wang Jiujui arrived at the school gate when the long-awaited rain finally fell.

  The rain in the north is more powerful than that in the south, starting with thunder and lightning, strong winds are blowing. The majestic rain seems to be about to drown the world.

  The dense fog made it difficult for pedestrians to see things, and even standing together, Qin Luo couldn't make out Wang Jiujin's pretty face right in front of him.

  The couple who returned late in the evening ran past them hand in hand, with quick steps and flying skirt hems. The smile on their faces was like a blooming white lotus, singing a song of youth in the rain.

  Wang Jiujui looked out the window at the raindrops falling more and more urgently, trying not to show his joy on his face. He turned to Qin Luo and said, "Teacher Qin, with such a heavy rain, how are you going to get back?"

  "It's okay, the rain will stop soon." Qin Luo said with a smile. Because of the heavy rain, there wasn't even a taxi at the school gate. In this situation, letting Qin Luo walk back to the Lin family villa would be an extremely foolish thing to do.

  "En, then I'll wait with you." Wang Jiujin said.

  Qin Luo looked at Wang Jiujui's thin dress and said: "You'd better go back to the dorm first, be careful not to catch a cold."

  The night in Yanjing was already a bit chilly. With such heavy rain, the temperature naturally dropped. Wang Jiujin was only wearing a long skirt, with her arms and calves exposed, making it difficult for her to withstand the cold air.

  "How could I do something so unrighteous?" Wang Jiujin smiled and refused. She actually hoped the rain would last longer. There were some things she couldn't bring herself to ask.

  Maybe if she had more time, she would be able to prepare thoroughly enough.

  There are two things that are very difficult. One is asking someone "Do you love me?" and the other is telling someone "I love you".

  "But I'll catch a cold," Qin Luo said.

  Wang Jiubai gave Qin Luo a glance and said, "What's there to be afraid of with a cold? After all, the world's most formidable doctor is standing right in front of me."

  "The world's most powerful doctor? Alright. I won't deny that. But even so, getting sick is still not good. It will lower the body's resistance." Qin Luo advised.

  Wang Jiujui felt a bit conflicted. Why was this man like a block of wood?

  As a lady, I have already shown myself clearly. Can you just let me keep a little bit of dignity?

  It's as if there was some resentment in his heart, Wang Jiujiao said bluntly: "I'm not going back. I just like being with you."

  Qin Luo looked at Wang Jiujui with a hint of surprise, under the night sky, the girl's eyes didn't back down as she stared straight at him, Qin Luo's heart began to feel flustered. It was as if he had a guilty conscience, and he quickly shifted his gaze away.

  "Are you cold?" Qin Luo said, trying to make conversation. As a virgin, he didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

  "Cold." Wang Jiujiu stared at Qin Luo's face and said.

  Since you asked me like this, I'll tell you the truth. Now, let's see how you handle it?

  "This..." Qin Luo looked at his own long gown and said: "If I take off my clothes to give to you, I'll be cold too."

  “--”

  Wang Jiujui was so angry that he vomited blood. Who would have answered like this?

  The stubbornness in her bones was like the green moss that grew rapidly in the rain, spreading all over her body. She said with an unyielding spirit: "It's okay, I can take it. Anyway, you're a doctor, even if I collapse, you'll definitely cure me, right?"

  She even deliberately coughed twice while speaking.

  A person who has no shame is invincible in the world.

  When a woman loses her shame, the entire universe has no rival.

  So Qin Luo lost to this woman.

  He said while undressing, "I'm really not used to taking off my clothes in front of a large crowd."

  "You don't have to take it off." Wang Jiujin said. She took a step forward and pressed her body against Qin Luo's, saying: "It's fine like this."

  Is that all?

  Soft jade warmth fragrance entered his arms, his chin rested on the girl's beautiful hair, breathing in the fruity scent of shampoo ----- Qin Luo's hands were raised high, with a sense of being at a loss.

  Perhaps it was this lonely rainy night that gave her inexplicable courage, making her feel like the whole world only had the two of them. So, what she originally didn't dare to say, or couldn't say for the time being, just blurted out.

  Wang Jiujui's heart was pounding, giving her a rollercoaster-like feeling.

  Am I being too proactive?

  But if she doesn't take the initiative, when will she have to wait?

  Women are easy to grow old. Every day wasted, the time that can be spent with him is shortened by one day.

  Now she has expressed her feelings and is waiting for his choice.

  Accept, or refuse.

  Love, or not love.

  She needs an answer. Or some haste. But at least let him understand that she likes him.

  Even if he pushes himself away, she still faces the fate of waiting. That also makes him know that she is waiting for him, not anyone else.

  One second. Two seconds. Three seconds----

  In the pattering sound of raindrops hitting the cement ground, time flows away second by second.

  However, Qin Luo still maintained his original posture. His body was stiff and straight, with both hands raised in mid-air, still showing no intention of putting them down to hug her tightly.

  Since childhood, Wang Jiujin has been independent and self-reliant. No matter what happens, she always tries to solve problems with her own methods.

  She also handled many things very well.

  She can do a lot of things by herself. However, there is one thing that requires two people to work together.

  That's love!

  Every second that passed, Wang Jiujin's heart sank a little. At this moment, she truly felt the chill of the deep night.

  She felt that her face, which was stuck to her chest, her uncovered hands, her calves, her back... and even her heart, liver, and lungs were all chilled to the bone from inside out.

  Wang Jiujui let out a soft sigh in his heart.

  It took great courage to finally work up the nerve, but it seems like this first confession of mine is going to end in failure.

  His hesitation shows that he is unwilling to accept himself.

  Not accepting is not loving.

  The daughter of a soldier, with a military man's decisive and ruthless style in her bones, was not originally suitable for the battlefield of love.

  Wang Jiujui moved, she was about to climb out of Qin Luo's arms.

  This one-sided hug, she can't feel any warmth.

  Just at this time----

  It was unclear whether Qin Luo's hands were raised in mid-air due to fatigue or if he felt that as a gentleman, he should hold the girl in his arms tightly.

  His hands fell down and gently, as if afraid of startling her, stuck to Wang Jiujiao's back.

  At the moment when warmth filled her body, Wang Jiuxi silently wept in Qin Luo's arms.

  The girl who didn't cry out loud when she was just born, but instead stared at this strange world with her beautiful round eyes and a bewildered face, burst into tears at this moment.

  She didn't expect it to be a promise, she just hoped that when she said 'I love you', he wouldn't hastily escape.

  At least give me a little bit of hope.

  Qin Luo walked in the corridor of the classroom and asked, "I mentioned the four cornerstones of health last time. Does anyone still remember what they are?"

  A calm mind, balanced nutrition, moderate exercise and sufficient sleep.

  "Uh-huh. The answer is correct. If one can achieve these four points, it's very hard to get sick. So, I think that prevention is better than cure. People who understand how to nurture their health are generally free from illness and disaster, and live a long life. However, the weather changes, things in the world are unpredictable, and if someone wants to avoid getting sick, that's impossible. Therefore, when we prescribe medicine for patients, we must find the root of the disease, and look for the cause from the root."

  Just as Qin Luo was talking, the back door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open. Then, under the leadership of Department Head Guo Renhua, a group of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners entered Qin Luo's classroom.

  Qin Luo suddenly understood, these people must be the representatives of the American Tian Sen University who came to the Capital Medical University for inspection.

  As usual, when the leaders of other faculties receive the inspection time of the delegation, they generally take it as a great enemy. They grab the main lecturer and repeatedly instruct him, fearing that something will go wrong. In some cases, teachers even have to rehearse their lectures in front of the faculty leaders beforehand, so that they can find out the shortcomings.

  But Qin Luo was completely unaware of this, and it wasn't until these people walked into the classroom that he realized today was actually the day of the delegation's visit.

  It seems that the incident where I stabbed Guo Renhuai in front of the deputy minister at the TCM conference has been passed on to his ears through someone else's mouth. This time, he is openly waiting for me to make a fool of myself.

  Because Qin Luo's classes were very popular among students, every time he lectured, the classroom was packed. Therefore, after these people came in, it was difficult to find a seat or even a place to stand.

  Guo Renhuai furrowed his brow and scanned the room, only to find that there was not a single empty seat. This made him feel like he had lost face, so he turned to the last row of students and said: "Everyone stand up for a moment, let's leave a row of seats for our guest."

  In his eyes, these students were far less important than those foreign friends.

  They stand in a daze with nothing to do. If we let these foreign friends stand and listen to the lesson, isn't it just humiliating our great country of etiquette?

  Although those students were unhappy, they did not dare to disobey the department head's requirements. Whether they could graduate, whether their graduation results were excellent, and even the distribution of graduates after graduation were all in someone else's hands.

  Qin Luo furrowed his brow at the sight, stopping the ongoing lesson and looking at Guo Renhuai said: "In my classroom, there has always been a rule of first come, first served. Early arriving students have seats to sit on, latecomers can only stand. No matter who it is, there are no exceptions."

  Foreigners are human beings, but Chinese people aren't? He really can't stand this kind of sycophantic attitude towards foreigners.

  When Qin Luo said this, those students who were forced to give up their seats immediately stopped moving and sat steadily in their own chairs.

  They fear Guo Renhuai, but they adore Qin Luo.

  Sorry, friends, for keeping you waiting for so long. This chapter has been written from morning till now, and it's really exhausting for old Liu. To be honest, writing about love between men is easy, but writing about romance between men and women is extremely difficult. It's really hard to put that subtle feeling into words.

  PS2: Today is the third watch of the night, I'll keep my promise and give Lao Liu a little time.

  PS3: Magic Xiaofei and others organized a YY singing competition, the prize is a signed physical book of "Qian Jin". Friends who are willing to participate can sign up in the book review area. At that time, Old Liu will also go there to sing a song "Counting Ducks" for everyone.
