Chapter 110: Chapter 104: The "Elegance" of the Military Doctor
When Xiao Lin’s calls couldn’t get through and he didn’t reply to messages, Xia Xue was just very worried, really worried, without any anger towards Xiao Lin, just anxious that something unexpected might have happened to him, constantly on edge. However, when the last call came and the automated voice from the mobile service said: The number you have dialed is currently on another call...
Xia Xue didn’t even listen to the last few words, just hung up directly, lying naked on the bed, tears started flowing uncontrollably. So, in his heart, she wasn’t the most important person. Xia Xue was almost certain that Xiao Lin had definitely seen the messages she sent.
"I was so worried about him, but I didn’t expect him to be such a heartless guy. Dozens of messages sent, and when he turned on his phone, he didn’t even call me back to tell me he was safe!" Xia Xue muttered to herself while crying. Thinking about such grievances, along with her hunger, she started sobbing out loud, feeling like she was the dumbest and most foolish woman in the world.
Xia Xue has a really good temper. She could understand Xiao Lin turning off his phone and not replying to messages. Men, who doesn’t have trouble sometimes? But what she couldn’t understand was that right after she became his woman, the first call he made in trouble wasn’t to her. That’s what Xia Xue couldn’t comprehend the most.
You can’t blame Xia Xue for being angry. If it were any woman, she’d be angry too. They say women are made of water, very tolerant, but if they reach a breaking point, it’s like the Yellow River flooding uncontrollably. That’s the situation Xia Xue was in now. Once she started crying, she couldn’t stop.
And when Xia Xue’s phone rang five minutes later, she just glanced at it, saw it was Xiao Lin calling, and without hesitation, hung up on his call. Xia Xue was furious, how could she possibly answer Xiao Lin’s call?
Cursing Xiao Lin nonstop in her heart, at this moment, Xiao Lin seemed to become the second Chen Shimei, no, the first, even worse than Chen Shimei. Having just rendered a girl unable to get out of bed, wearing his pants without acknowledging, treating her like nothing, despite her worrying about him so much.
Ring ring ring!
Xia Xue glanced at the phone again; it was still Xiao Lin calling. This time, without thinking, Xia Xue directly turned off her phone, though deep down, she was already moved.
However, once a woman starts crying, it’s as if the world owes her. She won’t stop until her tears have run dry.
At this moment, Xiao Lin was hurrying back, but no matter how urgent it was, it was useless. He hit the rush hour, and with several streets behind him being blocked, the original traffic flow diverted to nearby streets, making it extraordinarily congested.
The first call went unanswered, the second call also went unanswered, and the third call went straight to voicemail. Xiao Lin was anxious, knowing that Xia Xue was very angry, very angry. But there was no way around it. Given what was happening, even if Xia Xue had called to advise him back then, Xiao Lin couldn’t have left the scene.
But, is this excuse acceptable? To her, an ordinary person, it might sound too far-fetched. Would Xia Xue believe it? Moreover, Xiao Lin hadn’t prepared to tell Xia Xue his identity. It’s not that he didn’t want to, it’s that he didn’t know how to say it. If Xia Xue didn’t believe him, who knows how she might mock him.
Xiao Lin checked the time and dialed Hua Qingyi’s phone. After a while, he heard Hua Qingyi’s somewhat depressed voice, asking in a low tone, "Brother, what’s going on this time?"
"Uh... that, um!" Xiao Lin hesitated for quite a while, not knowing how to start. If Hua Qingyi knew about this, he might mock him, but at this critical moment, could he not say it? Xiao Lin was truly worried about Xia Xue, knowing he was wrong and that he should have called her first to tell her what happened.
Hua Qingyi, hearing Xiao Lin’s hesitant tone, thought for a moment and understood. You have to know, every time Xiao Lin had something that involved him, he said straightforwardly. His military nature didn’t allow him to hesitate, but now, the situation probably involved a woman. Facing the woman he loves, even the toughest soldier shows a softer side.
"Brother, do you have someone?" Hua Qingyi said this, while the nurse next to him gave him a strange look. This address, this question, sounded rather peculiar.
"Hmm..." Xiao Lin didn’t hide it. Needing help, hiding was of no use.
"When did it happen?" Hua Qingyi’s tone was incredibly gentle, making the young nurse widen her eyes in surprise. Such a beautiful man, what a pity he’s a "rabbit"—how are all the other women going to survive? And can rabbits reproduce? But I’ve heard there are advanced surrogacy technologies abroad, enabling even men to conceive with medical help.
"It was the night I went looking for you at the bar. I didn’t expect we’d end up colleagues!" Xiao Lin said helplessly, and then he detailed everything, unaware that on the other end of the line, some naughty nurses were daydreaming about Hua Qingyi.
"Nice one, bro!" Hua Qingyi praised him. Halfway through Xiao Lin’s story, he couldn’t help but compliment him. He’d seen Xia Xue before—very beautiful, very classy. His brother had hit the mark with precision, truly extraordinary. But when the nurses overheard, the story got twisted. It turned into the tale of a cute guy’s partner undergoing male pregnancy surgery and already being pregnant, with the cute guy not only unopposed but very supportive. What a bursting display of passion!
"Last night..." Xiao Lin spoke with embarrassment about what happened the previous night, leaving Hua Qingyi stunned on the other end. Bedridden? That’s hitting the jackpot. Who would’ve thought there existed such a sophisticated, beautiful, and graceful virgin? How did I miss this before?
"Bro, you’re amazing, really!" Hua Qingyi genuinely admired him.
"That’s not all. This morning, when I left, I promised I’d bring her lunch. Then that incident happened, and now it’s two in the afternoon. I called her, but she didn’t pick up. Eventually, her phone was off!" Xiao Lin was suffering inside. He knew he was in the wrong but was genuinely trying to make amends!
"Bro, women need to be coaxed. Xia Xue being upset is normal. You promised her, but not only did you stand her up, you were unreachable! Don’t worry, rush to the flower shop, buy some flowers, and get her favorite food. Sincerely apologize in front of her—believe me, it won’t be a big problem!" Hua Qingyi was quite experienced, feeling delighted inside. Ever since he met Xiao Lin, he’d never seen him so anxious. In the past, it seemed everything was under his control; he was steady and honest. This time, he faltered in front of a woman. After returning to Dragon Soul, he could tease him about it.
When the nurses heard Hua Qingyi’s advice, they were stunned. Turns out it’s not what they imagined! Although they lost their fantasy target, their minds were more active. Such a handsome guy, who cares about his background or wealth? Just for his looks alone, they’d be willing to support him. Imagine the pride taking him out!
"I know that, but how? This is uncharted territory for me!" Xiao Lin was at a loss: "I already bought the roses you mentioned, but how do I start? Say I’m with the Huaxia Dragon Soul? Xia Xue would never believe that!"
When it came to telling fibs to women, Hua Qingyi didn’t flinch: "Bro, that’s simple. The bank robbery incident here is bound to make the news. Your car should be on TV. You don’t need to say you’re with Dragon Soul; just say you were caught in a bank robbery and got stuck inside. Isn’t that perfect? After all, it’s not a lie, right?"
"Trapped in a bank? Hmm, good idea. Thanks, man!" At this moment, the car beside slowly started moving. Xiao Lin felt a bit more relieved, started the car, and slowly merged into the traffic.
Xiao Lin picked up a few signature dishes from a nearby restaurant, not caring whether Xia Xue liked them or not, ordering both mild and spicy options. By two-thirty, he finally returned to the Yan University faculty building. It was when students were rushing to class. Many recognized the stylish QQ car as belonging to the new emergency doctor at the school hospital. Soon after Xiao Lin entered the building holding a big bouquet of roses, pictures of him with the flowers quickly appeared on the campus forum.
Xiao Lin seemed quite clueless, apparently unaware of his rising popularity among Yan University students. With a bunch of roses in his arms and a four-tiered food carrier, he opened the apartment door and began calling out Xia Xue’s name.
Inside, Xia Xue pretended not to hear, sulking and feeling aggrieved. Now you remember me? Well, I’m ignoring you. Hmph, even if I do respond, I’ll first assess your apology attitude. See if you dare act like this again!
Xia Xue cried for a while, letting out quite a bit of her frustration. That’s how women are; caught up in the moment, had Xiao Lin shown up earlier, she might have been even more furious. Had Xiao Lin known, he might have actually thanked the Yanjing traffic for being so perfectly timed.
Xiao Lin put down the box, walked to the room door, knocked gently, and called out, "Xia Xue, I’m back!" He called cautiously, his demeanor and expression so careful that if the Dragon Soul team saw him, their eyes would pop out. When had the dashing Dragon Soul military doctor ever appeared so careful, like a child who realized he did something wrong?
Xia Xue remained silent, still harboring anger toward Xiao Lin.
Remembering he hadn’t fully closed the door in the morning, Xiao Lin, knowing Xia Xue was upset and wouldn’t answer him, pushed the door slightly, but it didn’t open. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it on . Your support is my biggest motivation.)
