C74 Visiting Professor Li (1/2)
”I don't want it, I don't want it!” I cried out in alarm, as if I had just struggled out of a nightmare. I sat up in bed, and when I opened my eyes, what lay in front of me was no longer a pitch-black environment; it was a bright room, with white walls, and both the furnishings and the hospital gown I was wearing showed that I was lying in a hospital.
”Do... Are you dreaming? ” I heaved a sigh of relief and wiped my forehead with my hand. Just as I raised my hand, I accidentally saw from the corner of my eyes that the black ring on my left index finger was exactly the same as the one in my 'dream'! My body jolted and I gulped. I immediately stretched out my hand to pick it. As expected, I was unable to take it off.
Annoyed, I reached around for my cell phone and finally found it under my pillow. I hastily unplugged the data line and opened the chat interface between the monk and WeChat. A red packet appeared at the top. I clicked it and sure enough, it was an electronic version of the Heaven's Day Heart Mantra.
”Seems like it really isn't a dream.” I muttered gloomily and WeChat, ”Master, why did you kick me back before I finish speaking? Master, as a temple host, I still need to hone my skills. This colorful world is so beautiful, and I'm still so young. You, you, just help me take it off.”
The monk intentionally pretended to be deaf and mute, not caring about me at all. He allowed me to post, post, and even shook the video. This fellow completely ignored me! Sigh, I'm finished. From today onwards, I, Jiang Xiaofo will become Jiang Zhen Fu, I refuse to accept this!
After venting my frustrations, I had no choice but to accept the cruel reality before me, but I will not give up on my struggle against monks. Learning Buddhist Mantras is a Heavenly Heart Formula, I did it for my own life. As for being a host, even if I wore this ring, I would rather die than submit.
”Click”, a clear sound of the door being unlocked rang in my ears, I raised my head to look at the door, just in time to see Li Xinai walking in from the outside with a heat preservation pot in her hand. The two of us looked at each other, and when Li Xinai saw that I was sitting up, a look of pleasant surprise flashed past his eyes, but it was only a glint of light. She did not have any expression on her face, and only blinked as she said, ”Oh? You're awake? ”
What do you mean, oh, awake? Girl, I'm the one who saved your life. I had originally wanted to express my gratitude to Li Xinai, but then I realized that with her personality, if I had joked around and said ”I saved you, why didn't you thank me”, she would most likely reply ”Oh, thank you”. I better not bother with that.
”Hey, did you bring me some food?” I looked at the thermos in her hand and changed the subject.
However, she disdained to answer the topic I was looking for. She didn't say anything and just put the thermal insulation box on my bed. She ignored me and said, ”I didn't expect that you would be so skilled. I've really underestimated you. I'll remember what happened on the plane, but don't you remember, just pretend it never happened. ”
I was stunned for a moment. Looking at Li Xinai, who was sitting beside me with her head lowered, I knew that she was talking about the matter of her touching and kissing me passionately in her impatience; Heh, Li Xinai is actually a very emotional person in her heart as well. She insisted on pretending to be rational when she was free, and she revealed the aura of a impotent teacher.
However, I was too lazy to bother with her, so I just nodded and didn't say anything.
”Oh right, small seal has been coming over everyday these few days. He's been arguing about learning martial arts from you, so if you wake up half an hour earlier, you'll be able to see him.” The corner of Li Xinai's mouth lifted as a smile finally appeared on her face. Even though it wasn't obvious, it was a smile. There really is one, thank you. ”
”Aiyo, you're welcome. What is the relationship between the two of us? I'll definitely risk my life to save you!” Li Xinai being able to smile and say thank you really surprised me. But it seems that I said the wrong words again, before I finished speaking, Li Xinai's smile froze.
She lowered her head, then looked up again.
I clapped my hand to my mouth, knowing that she was sensitive to the word ”relationship” with me, and that I would have to remember to talk less about it in front of her in the future.
”I'm not talking to you anymore. Let's get down to business.” Li Xinai arranged her expression, and looked at me indifferently: ”Today, the Chinese Main Chamber of Commerce will hold the annual Entrepreneurship Conference in Beijing and North. Tonight, there will be an Entrepreneurial Wine Party, and those who will go there will be people who will have a reputation in all walks of life, as well as some small awards. I'll bring you along tonight to see the world and make you show your face before the Li Group begins. ”
I rubbed the tip of my nose, but before I could agree to the invitation, Li Xinai, who was sitting beside me, continued, ”Your death grudge is something that both Xu Li and Xu Li are invited to. If you don't go, I won't force you.”
”Go, go. Why not? Why can't I go with them? I'm afraid of them? It's true! ” I refused to accept it, and without saying a word, I agreed to Li Xinai's request.
Li Xinai glanced at me, then nodded her head and stood up: ”I still have some things to do, I'll come pick you up at 7 PM; I've prepared a complete suit for you, it's hanging in the closet on the side, this is our Li Group's private hospital, if there's anything you need, just tell the nurse, I've already greeted them.”
”Ai, I'm fine now, but I want to pay a visit in the afternoon. Ehh, I should be considered a teacher.” Give me a call in the evening before you pick me up, okay? ” I stopped Li Xinai and said loudly.
Following that, the sound of Li Xinai's high heels hitting the floor stopped. She turned around and looked at me expressionlessly, her arms wrapped around her chest.
I didn't have to say anything to understand what she meant. I hastily raised my hand and smiled at her. ”I-I'll call you to confirm. This should be fine, right?”
”Remember to eat.” Li Xinai threw down these words, turned and walked out.
