“That Miss Shen Jing keeps looking for Mo Wen. Xiaoyou, you need to be wary,” Wang Xiaofei approached her and said mysteriously.
“Oh, then let’s head back to the dormitory first. I trust him,” Qin Xiaoyou said as she picked up her textbooks.
Wang Xiaofei was completely defeated by Qin Xiaoyou. She followed Qin Xiaoyou out of the classroom.
Shen Jing had two offices. One was in the administration building while the other was in the lecturers’ apartments. However, whenever Shen Jing met up with Mo Wen, it was always in her apartment. She would never meet in the administration building.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and said, “Why are you looking for me?” His tone wasn’t too friendly. Who asked Shen Jing to purposely torture him during class?
Shen Jing poured Mo Wen a cup of tea, smiling as she asked, “Mo Wen, isn’t it time for you to keep your promise?”
“Promise? What promise?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms as he said.
“Don’t act dumb. If you dare go back against you word, I will find fault with you every day,” Shen Jing said with a soft humph.
“Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned,” Mo Wen rolled his eyes saying.
“Then will you teach me or not? It has been more than a month. Your system knowledge of Chinese Medicine should be almost complete,” Shen Jing raised her eyebrows saying. She was always thinking about Mo Wen’s heart treatment massage method as she was a doctor of cardiology.
“I’ll teach you; would I dare not to?” Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders saying.
“It’s good that you know,” Shen Jing said as she raised her sharp chin, looking pleased. She was Mo Wen’s teacher. With this status, she was not afraid that Mo Wen would not compromise. Humph humph.
“Then I’ll teach you now,” Mo Wen rolled his eyes. The heart treatment massage method was but a staple good. Teaching it to Shen Jing was not a problem.
Before he wasn’t able to teach her because his knowledge of the two worlds were not aligned. Even if he understood it, he could not convey it. But now after systematically learning Chinese Medicine, explaining to Shen Jing was very easy.
Ten minutes later, they were still in Shen Jing’s living room.
“Hmm, not bad. To the right, right some more. Hmm. Left, left again,” Mo Wen laid on the couch, saying whiningly.
Shen Jing had a tense face. Her facial expression was dark as she sat beside Mo Wen. Both of her small hands were placed on Mo Wen’s shoulders, constantly massaging.
Mo Wen’s eyes were half open as he lazily gave instructions, “What’s the matter? More to the left. Your technique needs to be more precise. You don’t even know where the Shoulder Well Point is. Hmm! Not bad, you can apply more force.”
Shen Jing was grinding her teeth as she followed Mo Wen’s instructions, learning the technique. Was the heart treatment massage method really like this? She couldn’t help feeling that something was off. She felt strange.
“Your force is too weak. I said your force needs to be strong and steady. Your ability to comprehend, ugh…if it was another person, I definitely would not teach with this level of talent!” Mo Wen lay on the couch, enjoying Shen Jing’s massage while moaning and groaning. “Down, further down. Press on the Heart Transporter Point and Lung Transporter Point. Hmm, yes. Just like that, continue…” he commanded.
…
After half an hour, Mo Wen was a bit bleary-eyed. If he did not need to instruct Shen Jing, he would have probably fallen asleep.
“Hmmm, continue…continue…don’t stop…” Grumbling sounds would be mouthed by Mo Wen from time to time.
“I’m not massaging anymore!” Shen Jing finally couldn’t take it anymore. She stood up in a fit, shaking her sore wrists. She now had a sudden urge to stamp Mo Wen’s face a few times.
“Are you tired?” Mo Wen lazily lifted his head and looked at Shen Jing, “If you are tired, you can sit on me and massage. It’s not like I would not agree. For you to learn quickly, I don’t mind sacrificing a bit.”
“Sacrifice your head,” Shen Jing glared at Mo Wen. He had it easy. Her wearing a skirt and sitting on him? In his dreams.
“Do you want to learn or not?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows saying, “If you don’t work hard, how can you learn such an advanced medical technique? Did you think this was your commonplace skill that you can learn so easily? Let me tell you, if your ability to comprehend is too low and you don’t work hard, you’ll never learn it in this lifetime.”
“Humph!” Shen Jing snorted silently, turning her head to one side feeling wronged. Who teaches other people like this. It was practically bullying.
“If you don’t want to learn I can leave. I haven’t even eaten yet,” Mo Wen sat up on the couch and rubbed his belly.
“You can’t leave!” Shen Jing bit her lip and glared at Mo Wen.
“I’m hungry and have no energy. How can I teach like this?” Mo Wen propped up his leg, lying sideways on the couch with a famished look.
“Anyway, you must teach me or else you cannot leave. You promised me.” Shen Jing snorted quietly.
“But your comprehensive ability is not up to par. If you can’t learn it, what should I do?” Mo Wen opened his hands helplessly. He gave a look that said it was not his fault and that it was her own problem.
“If a student isn’t smart enough, does a teacher stop trying or caring? Can’t you act more like a teacher?” Shen Jing turned her head to the side, with a look that said she didn’t want to deal with Mo Wen.
“I would teach, why wouldn’t I teach. But at least let’s eat first. Even an emperor does not dispatch a starving army. After we eat, then I’ll have energy to teach. You better go prepare dinner. Later, once teacher is done, I can teach you anything,” Mo Wen put on a very reasonable appearance.
Shen Jing glared at Mo Wen then walked angrily into the kitchen. Why was it she felt odd? After going round and about, they still returned to the same point,”Eat, eat, eat. All you know how to do is eat. I’ll let you eat till you die.”
Not long after, a table of dishes was laid out. Its aroma filled the air.
Mo Wen just walked to the table and sat down, looking at the table of delicious dishes while nodding his head looking satisfied.
“Eat,” Shen Jing had a deadpan look. She filled a bowl of rice and slammed it heavily on the table in front of Mo Wen.
Mo Wen picked up the chopsticks and was about to grab some food, when he stopped and hesitantly looked at Shen Jing saying, “You didn’t poison it, did you? You said you wanted me to eat till I die?”
Shen Jing grinded her teeth and said, “You can choose not to eat.” She had half a mind to chase this bastard out of the apartment. To avoid looking at Mo Wen and getting angry, Shen Jing took a bowl of rice and ate sitting alone on the couch.
“You are just eating rice and not having the dishes?” Mo Wen said vaguely with his mouth full of rice and dishes.
Shen Jing sat on the couch with a bowl of rice, furiously stirring the rice as though she had a vendetta against it.
“Mind your own business,” Shen Jing turned her head to the side. She felt lazy to deal with Mo Wen.
“That’s right, I forgot something!” Mo Wen suddenly slapped his head as though he had just remembered something. Shen Jing was shocked. She looked at him incredulously.
“I still have something to do. I need to go first, but I’ll come again. Oh right, next time prepare more dishes. Today’s dishes weren’t enough.”
Mo Wen stood up and headed out. His steps were rushed and in a blink of an eye, he was out the door and disappeared from sight.
“You…” Shen Jing stared at Mo Wen’s silhouette, unable to say anything for a while.
“That bastard. Next time I will not prepare dinner for him anymore,” Shen Jing grinded her teeth and stomped her feet heavily on the ground, saying. The table full of dishes was left relatively untouched. Even the rice was just two mouthfuls less and the man had gone without a trace.
It was getting dark. In front of the cafeteria, two silhouettes stood waiting at the door for a long time, catching a lot of strange stares.
“Xiaoyou, let’s not wait anymore. He probably forgot already.” Wang Xiaofei gently sighed and said.
“Xiaofei, you better go eat first. Don’t wait for me, I’m not hungry yet,” Qin Xiaoyou silently lowered her head.
Wang Xiaofei did not understand what Qin Xiaoyou was holding out for. It had been around an hour and a half. The cafeteria was almost empty. If she waited any longer, there wouldn’t be anything left to eat, “I told you we shouldn’t have waited. With Shen Jing such a beauty as company, why would he think of you? Don’t be foolish. Let’s go eat. Why let ourselves starve for a guy like him?”
“He will come,” Qin Xiaoyou bit her lip, clutching her small hands together. She believed that he would come, because she said she would wait at the entrance of the cafeteria for him.
“You’re obsessed. I don’t understand you.”
Wang Xiaofei really felt like slapping Qin Xiaoyou in the head to wake her up. How could a woman who fell in love have her IQ plummet so low.
“Xiaofei, just go eat first. Don’t wait for me, okay?” Qin Xiaoyou’s voice had a trace of tearfulness in it. Rows of tears started flowing down from her eyes and silently fell to the ground.
Wang Xiaofei sighed softly. She didn’t say anything anymore. She just held Qin Xiaoyou’s hand and stood beside her silently.
They waited for another half an hour; the cafeteria was almost empty now. Qin Xiaoyou and Wang Xiaofei were still standing around the entrance all alone like two statues.
“Xiaofei, let’s go to eat. We’ll go to the fifth floor. I will treat you.” After a long pause, Qin Xiaoyou wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes quietly, then she held Wang Xiaofei’s hand and walked into the cafeteria, dejected.
Wang Xiaofei patted Qin Xiaoyou on the back of her hand, but she didn’t know what to say. To eat on the fifth floor of the cafeteria required a few hundred bucks. With Xiaoyou’s family background, it was a little hard on her wallet. However, she knew that today Qin Xiaoyou was not in a good mood.
“Wait! I still haven’t eaten. Bring me along.” From afar, a figure flashed past and moved around hundred feet in an instance. In a blink of an eye, he had appeared right behind Qin Xiaoyou. His speed was shocking, but fortunately nobody saw him along the way. The person who spoke was none other than Mo Wen. He stood behind Qin Xiaoyou, rubbing his hands, smiled awkwardly and said.
Qin Xiaoyou suddenly spun around. Looking at the person behind her, her tears started flowing again.
“Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Just now I was… I was a little busy…” Facing Qin Xiaoyou’s tears, Mo Wen did not know what to do. Halfway eating at Shen Jing’s place, he suddenly remembered that Qin Xiaoyou had said that she would wait for him to have dinner at the cafeteria. Based on his understanding of Qin Xiaoyou, he knew she would surely have waited for him. She would keep waiting until he came, so he didn’t hold back and dashed here.
“Just now Miss Shen Jing wanted to see me… her house lightbulb was broken, so I helped her fix it…” Mo Wen looked left and right, laughing dryly as he explained.
“I know you are very busy. You’re probably hungry. Let’s eat,” Qin Xiaoyou lowered her head, quietly hugging onto Mo Wen’s arm and walking into the cafeteria.
“Yes, let’s eat. Fifth floor, my treat. Just order any delicacy you want,” Mo Wen waved his hand, feeling generous, and strode towards the upper floors of the cafeteria. He was more than happy that Qin Xiaoyou didn’t get in a strop with him. He silently breathed a sigh of relief and walked upstairs gleefully.
“Before you lie, wipe the rice from the corner of your mouth!” Wang Xiaofei purposedly walked behind Mo Wen, grinding her teeth as she whispered this in his ear. Haven’t eaten yet? Only a fool would believe him. Fixing a lightbulb? She had never heard of fixing a lightbulb requiring two hours to complete.
“Uh…”
Mo Wen tripped over himself, nearly falling face first on the ground.
