Chapter 193: Always Able to Meet Again
The bus won’t be here for a while, and during the wait, Dong Yi looked at Boss Qian in confusion.
Ever since Boss Qian emerged from her uncle’s place, she had been chuckling. Was it really that funny?
Whenever Xiao Qian thought of the name “Gangdan”, she would break into a radiant smile.
Truly a testament to Professor Liu’s great mind. Look at this unique name. She had originally thought his name would be something like “Four Pancakes”, “Four Cannonballs”, or “Four Stinkballs”.
Yu Gangdan, whose ‘egg’ is made of steel, haha!
Noticing Dong Yi’s inquiring gaze, Xiao Qian finally repressed her smile.
“Da Yi, did you learn something today?”
“Um, I understand some of it now.”
“I’ll jot down today’s focus points for you when we get back. As we’re dealing with a child’s treatment, the process may be longer. I see you’re quite close to Second Brother, so could you come over here by yourself if there’s a problem?” “Me…coming over here?” Dong Yi hesitated slightly.
“Do you have a problem with that?” Xiao Qian figured she was quite close to Second Brother, so she shouldn’t be afraid of him, right?
“No.”
Xiao Qian wasn’t quite mindful of the gender differences yet. After all, a man with Second Brother’s temperament would never overstep the boundaries. Dong Yi has the potential to become a psychologist in the future, and she would have many opportunities to interact alone with male patients.
Xiao Qian didn’t think it was a problem, but someone else did.
This person was Wang Xiaobo, who came to pick up Xiao Qian and Dong Yi.
Yu Mingyi didn’t call him initially, but when he heard that Wang needed a car, he enthusiastically volunteered. He had heard from his mother about his sister’s divorce from her husband, and his first reaction was to question Yu Mingyi.
But Yu Mingyi was deliberately distant, leaving him no opportunity to meet him. Finally, he seized an opportunity and wanted to have a good talk with Yu Mingyi.
Instead of seeing Yu Mingyi, he saw two young ladies that he once saw having dinner with Yu Mingyi!
Xiao Qian saw a car approaching. Recognizing that its model was similar to the one used by Yu Mingyi’s company, she flagged it down.
“Did Captain Yu send you?”
“Get in.” Wang Xiaobo looked at them for a long while before speaking.
Xiao Qian only felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and met his gaze.
“Do you know me?”
“No worries.” Wang Xiaobo shifted his gaze, surprisingly finding himself feeling somewhat guilty under this young girl’s piercing gaze.
On their way back, Wang Xiaobo kept speculating about which of the two girls was involved with Yu Mingyi. It must be an affair, which is why his sister was dumped!
He must find out who entangled with his brother-in-law, and make his brother-in-law reconcile with his sister. He felt an immense responsibility on his shoulders.
“Two pretty ladies, what’s the reason you two are here to see Captain Yu?”
“No comment. You are supposed to respect your superior’s privacy, aren’t you?” Xiao Qian responded.
The confidentiality of their patient’s identity must be kept, even if the patient was just a kid.
Wang Xiaobo was bored and constantly felt that Xiao Qian was not to be trifled with. He dared not to ask more, but occasionally cast a glance at Xiao Qian and Dong Yi through the rear-view mirror, guessing who it might be.
Xiao Qian and Dong Yi sat in the backseat, feeling the driver’s unusual gaze. He kept sneaking glances at her and Dong Yi. But whenever she noticed, he would look away.
Xiao Qian never thought this man was the brother-in-law of Yu Mingyi’s ex-wife. Usually, a man watching a woman has two motives – either to seek revenge or out of liking. Xiao Qian thought it was the latter.
When they arrived at the school, Wang Xiaobo stopped the car and turned to Dong Yi.
“Young lady, may I have your contact information? We could be pen pals. You could tell me about school life, and I could share some interesting things about life with the Blue Sky Elite.”
Throughout the drive, he felt that Dong Yi was the most probable one. Intuitively, Xiao Qian, the tough looking one, wouldn’t be Yu Mingyi’s type. It’s the quiet girl who seemed suspicious.
“Me?” Dong Yi was slightly taken aback.
Xiao Qian shielded her and said, “No need. She already has a boyfriend. Moreover, you can’t just blab about your workplace to others. Have you forgotten the rules of your unit?”
Dong Yi is instinctively thankful to people like him, and Xiao Qian had to prevent Dong Yi from going off the tracks.
Wang Xiaobo hit a wall. Xiao Qian didn’t give him another chance to pester them and led Dong Yi away.
“Da Yi.” As Xiao Qian led Dong Yi through the heather bushes, she stopped in her tracks.
“Hmm?”
“People have many different kinds of emotions. Gratitude is not love. Don’t develop inexplicable positive feelings for anyone who seems superior, allowing them to see an opportunity and take you in.”
Xiao Qian felt she needed to take back her previous joke. She had jokingly suggested that Da Yi find someone working up in the sky in the future. But considering today’s situation, she felt obliged to give a heads-up.
“What?”
“I’m not against you considering this profession. But remember that people come in all kinds. For instance, never consider someone like the one we just met with the shifty eyes.”
“I didn’t have any special feelings for him.”
Xiao Qian found her response reassuring. It’s easy for these innocent young girls to be swept off their feet if they’re not kept an eye on.
When they got back to the dormitory, the door was left ajar, and Xiao Qian and Dong Yi were both taken aback.
A tall man wearing a leather jacket was standing in front of Xiao Qian’s bed, fussing with something.
Dong Yi nearly screamed, but Xiao Qian covered her mouth and pulled her outside.
“Boss Qian, there’s a thief!” Dong Yi said nervously in a low voice.
Why would there be a man in the women’s dormitory? There was only one explanation—he was a thief!
“Shi Touyu is not present. We will hold him down and hand him over to the dormitory manager.” Xiao Qian made a calm decision. After discussing it with Dong Yi, they both quietly entered the bathroom. One grabbed a bucket, the other a mop, looked at each other, and came out together.
The plan was to dump the bucket over the man’s head, and then both of them would attack.
But when Xiao Qian stepped in and saw that he was just making the bed, she urgently called a stop.
“Da Yi, don’t do it!”
After saying that, Dong Yi, taking advantage of her height, dumped the bucket, and the man became a classic buckethead zombie from “Plants vs Zombies”.
“Damn it, what the hell are you two doing!” A muffled voice came from under the bucket.
Dong Yi kicked at him, but Xiao Qian rushed to grab her. Under the effect of inertia, they both stepped back a few steps.
When Shi Touyu walked in, she just happened to see this chaotic scene. She gasped in surprise, and put her hand to her mouth to scream.
“Why the infighting when we’re supposed to be on the same side? Are you really fighting each other over a man!”
This scene made Shi Touyu imagine that Da Yi and Xiao Qian were fighting over a man, and the one under the bucket was the object of the fight.
“Your way of welcoming people is certainly…warm.” The man took off the bucket, his voice filled with annoyance.
“It’s you!”
“It’s you guys!”
Xiao Qian and Dong Yi recognized him. Wasn’t he the one with gender identity disorder who was saved by Boss Qian from the train? What was his name again?
“Little Coal Ball!” Xiao Qian remembered.
“I’m Xiao Miqiu. Hey, weren’t you the psychologist? What are you doing here?” Xiao Miqiu didn’t expect to meet acquaintances..
