Chapter 398 - Herbal Research Institute (1/2)

How was he supposed to make amends?

Zhang Che was immediately hit with a headache. No matter if it was in his previous life or his current life, he had no experience with pursuing girls, let alone coaxing them. It was a completely new subject for him, with zero hours of study to his name!

Send her flowers? Apologize?

They didn’t seem useful…

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Che sighed helplessly. He really couldn’t think of a safe solution.

If he knew this was going to happen, he would have taken some courses like “Thirty-six Strategems to Dating girls”, or something.

“Forget it. When we get to the mountain, there’ll be a way through. When the boat gets to the pier, it’ll go straight with the current. Why think so much…” (TLN: Meaning everything will turn out to be fine.)

Zhang Che, fully aware that he didn’t have a single romantic bone in him, shut his eyes for a quick rest in the end, not thinking about this matter.

At Bei Du…

Huang Tielan stood in the lab, looking at the pile of ingredients on the table. However, her mind was somewhere else. From time to time, she would look at the personal terminal on her left wrist. Time slowly ticked away by the minutes and seconds, but in the end, Zhang Che never called her back to apologize.

“Zhang Xiaoche, you idiot!” she grumbled hatefully under her breath, her chest quickly rising and falling. She wasn’t in the mood to continue concocting cultivation fluid. She stomped out of the lab and had Liu Gang drive her to the airport.

Being angry was one thing. Of course Miss Tienan still had to go fetch him at the airport…

—–

Night fell. Zhang Che had returned to Bei Du again.

On his way out from the passageway, Zhang Che’s brows were knitted all the time. He truly had no idea what to do.

-How exactly do I coax girls? I’m waiting online, urgent!-

However, when he walked out to the main hall, ready to look for a taxi for hire, he suddenly froze on the spot, and displayed an overjoyed expression.

-I knew it. How can our Miss Tienan be like those ordinary girls?-

He saw Huang Tielan standing outside in the main hall. He hurriedly put on a fawning smile and walked up to her with quick steps.

Zhang Che walked up, smiling ingratiatingly and said with a guilty conscience, ” Aiya, I’ve missed you so much!” Afterwards, he reached out towards Miss Tienan, trying to hug her.

In the end, Huang Tielan sidestepped away, avoiding his touch and turned around to walk out.

“Let’s get back quickly. It’s already this late. You have to sleep and rest.”

-Is it late? I don’t think so? It’s only slightly past eight. It’s not even an hour since the sky turned dark!-

Zhang Che was confused for a moment. He immediately understood the situation and revealed a bitter smile, chasing after her.

-Ai, I have to make up for my own mistakes, even if I get stabbed full of holes…-

Afterwards, Zhang Che used every trick in the book he could think of, feeling like it was even tougher than battling against an epic-quality beast, before finally getting Miss Tienan to forgive him for now, agreeing to go out for dinner with him. He finally let out a long sigh of relief.
