The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Enthusiastic School Senior

Early the next day, Luo Ziling got up for his morning exercise as usual. Afraid of running into Ouyang Huihui and stirring up unnecessary trouble, he didn’t go to the two closer training grounds but instead chose another one further from his apartment to run.

To Luo Ziling’s surprise, at the training ground where he went for his first morning exercise, he ran into Luo Yuqing, whom he hadn’t seen for quite some time.

“Junior, I haven’t seen you in a while,” Luo Yuqing greeted him proactively upon seeing Luo Ziling, “Haven’t you been out for your morning exercise these days?”

“Not at all, I’ve been running almost every day, it’s just that sometimes I run outside the campus,” Luo Ziling answered with a smile and then curiously asked another question, “Do you exercise every morning as well, senior sister?”

When Luo Ziling went out for his morning run, he wore a pair of glasses and let his hair down, making him unrecognizable to strangers. In contrast to his intentionally low-key attire, Luo Yuqing was dressed rather beautifully. Her tight sportswear perfectly displayed her figure, with her well-endowed upper body and a pair of incredibly attractive long legs, Luo Ziling believed that any man who saw Luo Yuqing as she was now would fixate their attention on her.

Just like now, the boys and girls exercising nearby were all glancing over in this direction, making him feel a bit of pressure.

...

“Not every day,” Luo Yuqing shook her head, “If I have nothing to do in the morning and don’t feel like lazing in bed, then I get up for exercise. If the smog is bad, I don’t. Lately though, I’ve been getting up for exercise every day. How about we run together? We can chat while we run. I still want to invite you to join the student council. How have you considered it?”

Of course, Luo Ziling did not want to run with Luo Yuqing. If he did, the school forum would be buzzing with gossip about him again.

But he felt embarrassed to decline Luo Yuqing’s invitation outright, so in the end, he thought of a compromise, smiling as he said to her, “I first plan to practice some martial arts before running, so I can distribute my strength properly. Why don’t you run first, and we’ll talk afterward?”

“Then I’ll just do some stretches first and watch you practice martial arts, how about that?” Luo Yuqing felt somewhat annoyed inside, as Luo Ziling actually didn’t want to run with her. It wasn’t because she liked Luo Ziling or for reasons of that nature, but rather it was a prideful woman’s self-esteem.

Used to flattery from boys and living in the midst of their admiring gazes, Luo Yuqing found it hard to accept being neglected and disliked by a man, especially since she did have something to talk to Luo Ziling about. Therefore, she changed her mind and determined to stick with Luo Ziling.

Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of Luo Yuqing, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but smile wryly, but in the end, he didn’t refuse, gesturing toward a small grove nearby.

Several departments at Yan University’s main campus have their own training grounds, with some departments even having more than one. Many of these training grounds are edged with trees or even encompass a small grove. To have a place for practicing martial arts, Luo Ziling always chose training grounds that had small groves nearby for his morning exercises.

Seeing that Luo Ziling wanted to lead her into a grove, Luo Yuqing hesitated for a moment but did not feel any particular intentions from him, so she did not refuse.

However, those students who were paying attention to Luo Yuqing, the goddess-level school beauty being led by a male student into a grove, were filled with gossip. It was also a great place for dates; a man and a woman heading there inevitably led to speculation.

“Senior sister, I’ve really had a lot on my plate recently and haven’t thought about joining any groups,” Luo Ziling began to explain as he stretched his legs upon entering the small woods, “Due to family matters, I’ve been swamped and it’s been impossible to take part in any activities, so I never considered joining a society or the student council.” @@novelbin@@

“I think there are few people like you who would think this way. There aren’t many at Yan University who would decline an offer to join the student council,” Luo Yuqing said with a smile, “You’re busy now, but it doesn’t mean you will be forever. Can’t you just join first? We’re looking to recruit students who excel in various areas to the council. You’re good at martial arts, your medical skills are impressive, and more importantly, you’re very handsome, which could attract a lot of girls to participate in different events. I saw the post your roommate made the other day. A freshman like you was invited to attend such a high-level meeting, and it was your college dean who invited you to speak. Do you know how envious you’ve made so many people? Didn’t you see those girls on the forum adoring you like a god? It would be such a waste for someone as popular as you not to join the student council.”

“I rarely look at posts on the campus web forum, so I don’t know if anyone has praised or belittled me,” Luo Ziling laughed, “Actually, I shouldn’t turn down an invitation from a beautiful senior sister like you; it’s just that even if I joined, I wouldn’t have time to get involved in activities, and I’m sure I’d disappoint you.”

“You can just join for now, and participate in activities when you have time. If you’re busy, then don’t participate for the time being,” seeing a change in Luo Ziling’s attitude, Luo Yuqing was overjoyed, “How about this, I’ll come to your dorm tonight and bring the application form, you fill it out, and I’ll take it back with me. Junior brother, I have to tell you, you’re the first one to receive such treatment. If you reject my enthusiasm, I’ll be very disappointed.”

“Uh, senior sister, you’re too enthusiastic, and I really feel embarrassed,” Luo Ziling still wanted to decline but changed his mind upon seeing Luo Yuqing’s stubborn look, “Alright then, how about I think it over, and if I decide to join, I’ll come to you?”

“I insist on coming to your dorm, giving you plenty of respect, so you should give me some in return, right?” Luo Yuqing said playfully with a smile, “We’ll settle it like that then, and I’ll send you a WeChat message when the time comes.”

“I’ve actually switched to a new WeChat account, the old one had too many people adding me, it was just too bothersome,” Luo Ziling explained with a bit of embarrassment, “How about, you add my new WeChat instead?”

“No wonder you haven’t been responding to my messages,” Luo Yuqing gave Luo Ziling a curious look before immediately taking out her phone and adding his new WeChat.

“Less than fifteen contacts in total, it’s quite peaceful,” Luo Ziling chuckled after adding Luo Yuqing as a contact, “Let’s get in touch when needed.”

“You’re not trying to get rid of me, are you?” Luo Yuqing looked at Luo Ziling in surprise, the young man seemed ready to leave, “You can’t treat your senior sister like this.”

Luo Ziling gave a wry smile: “I’m afraid if I’m seen with you, someone might post it on the forum and tarnish your reputation, then I would be the sinner.”

“I never care about other people’s comments, I only care about my own views,” Luo Yuqing declared proudly, “You’re a friend worth making.”

As she spoke, she extended her arm toward Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling had no choice but to reach out and gently shake her hand. What neither Luo Ziling nor Luo Yuqing expected was that their not-so-intimate gesture had been surreptitiously photographed by a busybody and was posted on the forum.
