Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 320 - 319 Nico’s Phone Call
The summer night at Shichahai was exceptionally beautiful.
The lights twinkled, and the small boats in the lake drifted along.
Gazing at the picturesque scene before her and holding hands with the man she thought of day and night, the man of her dreams, Jiang Lili walked quietly by the lakeside. Recalling the events of more than two years ago, she felt as though it were a lifetime away.
Without the man beside her, she might now be standing in some dimly lit alley, wearing revealing clothes and flirting with the men passing by.
Or perhaps she would be in a private room, in some glitzy place, wrapped in the arms of some man, being forcefully fed drink after drink.
Just thinking about these things gave Jiang Lili the chills, and she couldn’t help but snuggle closer to Ge Dongxu, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Thank you, Dongxu! Without you, I really don’t know what I would have become," Jiang Lili murmured.
"It’s all in the past, let’s not dwell on it," Ge Dongxu’s heart trembled slightly as he wrapped his arm around her slim yet surprisingly plump waist and spoke softly.
"Do you know? The first time I came to Shichahai, I thought how wonderful it would be if one day I could lean on your shoulder and walk with you like this. I’d be willing to live ten years less for that," Jiang Lili continued to murmur.
"You fool, don’t talk such nonsense. It’s just a walk by the Shichahai, simple as that!" Ge Dongxu’s heart trembled again as he spoke.
"Dongxu, would it be okay to kiss me?" Suddenly, Jiang Lili stopped in her tracks and looked up at Ge Dongxu.
Ge Dongxu was suddenly taken aback.
Yuan Li involuntarily came to his mind.
Last time, it was here that he had kissed Yuan Li, but that had been in winter.
Thinking of Yuan Li brought Liu Jiayao to his mind.
His first kiss with Liu Jiayao had also been by a lakeside, but not at Shichahai; it was at Mingyue Lake.
What kind of man am I? Am I really a good man?
For the first time in his life, Ge Dongxu was filled with confusion and doubt about his feelings.
"Dongxu, would it be okay to kiss me?" Jiang Lili’s voice rang out by his ear once again.
But Ge Dongxu did not kiss her; instead, he looked at her and said, "Lili, before you, I have kissed other women, and there’s one I will never give up on in this life."
"Is that why you didn’t tell me when you came to the capital or visit me, Dongxu?" Jiang Lili asked, looking at Ge Dongxu.
Ge Dongxu nodded.
"Dongxu, you really are a simple and good man. I don’t mind, so why should you? Kiss me!" Jiang Lili’s personality was still as fiery and direct as ever.
"I don’t mind, so why should you?" Looking at Jiang Lili, who was tilting her head back, eyes closed and looking utterly beguiling, his ears echoing with the words she had said, Ge Dongxu suddenly smiled, then bent down to kiss her.
Indeed, whether it was Jiang Lili or Liu Jiayao, in this respect, neither had any expectations or cared much. So why tie himself in knots, brooding over it?
Would pushing Jiang Lili away harshly now be the right thing to do?
What is right? What is wrong? His true feelings had already told him, otherwise he wouldn’t have admitted he was Jiang Lili’s boyfriend back in Xiangshan!
Following the heart’s direction is the essence of self-cultivation. If the heart felt so, then so be it!
With the inner conflict resolved, the repressed feelings for Jiang Lili were completely released.
Ge Dongxu soon lost himself in Jiang Lili’s clumsy yet passionate kisses, delighting in the moment, his hands sliding down her smooth waist to rest on her round buttocks, a match for those of Western women.
Jiang Lili’s desire in that aspect was much stronger than Liu Jiayao’s. Using the cover of trees and the night, she kept seeking Ge Dongxu’s kisses, her voluptuous body pressing tightly against him, moving in sync, as if she wished to melt into him.
Even amidst her gasps, Jiang Lili suggested going to a hotel, and Ge Dongxu almost nodded in agreement. Fortunately, he maintained that last bit of clarity, and with a clenched jaw, pushed Jiang Lili away, looking at her with an apologetic expression, "Let’s just hold hands and take a slow walk by the lake."
Jiang Lili let out an "Ah," her already flushed cheeks turning even redder.
...
Around ten o’clock, Ge Dongxu drove Jiang Lili back to her school and arranged to pick her up early the next day for a trip to the Great Wall.
Visiting the capital city, one must always make a trip to the Great Wall, even though it tends to be hot in the summer.
Seeing Ge Dongxu dropping Jiang Lili off at her dormitory, the dormitory supervisor could hardly believe her eyes, blinking several times in astonishment.
In this day and age, a girl from the School of Media and Communications getting into such a car, shouldn’t she be expected to not return all night?
That’s right, it must be because her period arrived, how inconvenient!

What a pity!
...
The road conditions were very good late at night, and Ge Dongxu drove swiftly, reaching the vicinity of the siheyuan before long.
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID displayed an unfamiliar phone number.
Ge Dongxu hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
"Is this Ge? I... I’m Nico," came the voice of a woman, hard with accent and weak with breath, from the phone.
"Nico? Are you hurt?" Ge Dongxu was slightly startled and then quickly asked with a change in his expression.
"Yes, I... I’m hurt. I should have heeded your advice and left Beijing right away," Nico said.
"Okay, don’t talk too much, where are you?" Ge Dongxu asked.

Ge Dongxu had a soft spot for this blonde, and given that a woman had thought to call him when injured, he felt both emotionally and morally obliged to not ignore her plight.
"Are you really a wizard from the East... Do you know more than just fortune-telling? Can you heal as well?" Instead of answering Ge Dongxu’s question, Nico asked him in return.
"I can," Ge Dongxu replied.
On the other end of the line, Nico let out a sigh of relief and then, intermittently, informed Ge Dongxu that she was at a Kuntin chain hotel.
"Kuntin chain hotel?" When Ge Dongxu heard the address Nico provided in bits and pieces, a look of surprise crossed his face as he blurted out the question, almost as if confirming that it wasn’t just a coincidence.
But there was no longer any sound of Nico on the phone.
Ge Dongxu’s expression changed once more, signifying that Nico’s situation was indeed dire.
Luckily, the Kuntin chain hotel company had only recently opened its first direct-operated hotel in Beijing. Ge Dongxu intended to visit it if he had the time since Beijing would undoubtedly be one of the major cities for Kuntin’s expansion. Hence, he was aware of the specific address of the Kuntin chain hotel and had even looked it up on the map, knowing it wasn’t far from his current location.
So Ge Dongxu quickly figured out the direction and road signs, recalled the map, then sharply turned around and drove toward the Kuntin chain hotel.
