Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 721 - 720
"I don't want to!" Ge Dongxu heard Nico's words and immediately felt a surge of fire rise from the pit of his stomach, but he still forcefully suppressed it and firmly refused.
"But your body doesn't seem to think so," Nico suddenly twisted her hips and whispered hotly in Ge Dongxu's ear.
"We should get back, Nico!" Ge Dongxu suddenly felt uncomfortably swollen and quickly let go of Nico's waist, saying.
Nico's expression dimmed instantly, she also let go of her hands, and silently nodded.
Late at night, Ge Dongxu dropped Nico off at her single apartment building.
"Don't you want to come up for a coffee before you leave?" Nico asked, looking at Ge Dongxu.
"No, thank you, good night!" Ge Dongxu said and turned to leave.
He dared not look into Nico's eyes.
However, Ge Dongxu hadn't walked far when Nico suddenly ran up to him and threw herself into his arms, then her plump, sexy lips heavily kissed Ge Dongxu's lips.
"Thank you for spending a wonderful Christmas Eve with me. This is my Christmas gift to you. I wanted to give you something more precious, but you seemed not to like it," Nico said, after giving Ge Dongxu a sudden passionate kiss, seemingly reluctant to leave his embrace.
Watching Nico's graceful, sexy back gradually disappear into the night, Ge Dongxu touched his lips, as if they still bore the taste she had left, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
He of course understood what the more precious gift was, but could he accept it?
Back in his dorm, Ge Dongxu lay on his bed and thought of Nico's reluctance when she turned to leave, her lingering grievance, and her sudden passionate kiss, and he found it somewhat difficult to fall asleep.
"Sigh," Ge Dongxu sighed quietly and took a piece of jade from under the mattress, gently carving it with his fingertips in the darkness, and immediately fine fragments of jade fell from the edges.
Soon, a leaf-shaped piece of jade appeared in his hand.
Previously, when carving jade, Ge Dongxu needed special tools, because back then he could barely manage Turning Qi into Sword. Now his Cultivation had reached Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, Turning Qi into Sword had become as he wished. Carving jade naturally became easy, with no need for special tools.
After polishing the leaf-shaped jade, Ge Dongxu carved some rune arrays on it.
In the darkness, after all this was done, Wu Yili's image inexplicably flashed through Ge Dongxu's mind, suddenly making his mood complex, and his hand reached under the mattress again to get another piece of jade.
Turning Qi into Sword, it wasn't long before Ge Dongxu had in his hand another pendant, shaped like a heart.
Looking at the heart-shaped pendant in his hand, Ge Dongxu suddenly froze.
Just now, he almost unconsciously chose the heart shape!
Only after polishing it did he realize that giving Wu Yili a heart-shaped pendant might be inappropriate.
Forget it, cultivation should indeed follow the heart. Since he had polished a heart shape, let it be a heart shape, Ge Dongxu soon collected his complex emotions, arranged a rune array in the heart-shaped pendant as well, and then stored them away. Only then did he feel as if he had resolved something important and peacefully fell asleep.
The next day was Saturday and also Christmas.
When Nico woke up, she saw a note left on the bedside table, under which there was a leaf-shaped jade pendant.
"Drop a drop of blood on the jade pendant, and it will become your Christmas gift!" the note read.
...
Christmas had passed, and New Year's Day was just a few days away.
This year's New Year's Day was a very special day because it marked the millennium.
So, right after Christmas, the teachers and students on campus were already discussing how to welcome the arrival of the millennium.
Even Liu Jiayao had called Ge Dongxu early on, suggesting they go to Mingyue Lake's Hidden Mountain Temple to hear the first bell of 2000.
The implication was that on this special day, she wanted to be with him.
Ge Dongxu naturally agreed.
Li Chenyu and the others were also discussing how to spend Millennium Night.
Some said they would play cards all night, others said they would play games all night, and some mentioned going to Jiangnan Square to join everyone in counting down to the ringing of the new century's bell.
Li Chenyu and the others naturally asked Ge Dongxu about his plans; when Ge Dongxu said it was a secret, they teased him for a while.
Tuesday afternoon still featured the inorganic chemistry class.
After class, instead of heading to the library as usual, Ge Dongxu caught up with Wu Yili, who was about to return to the college building.
"Is there anything you need? It wouldn't be that today you've decided to treat me and improve my diet, would it?" Wu Yili asked with surprise and delight upon seeing Ge Dongxu catching up.
"No, I just wanted to ask Teacher Wu, it's been a long time since you treated me to a meal. Where has that initial kindness gone?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile.
"Still trying to advantage of me!" Wu Yili's face slightly reddened, and she rolled her eyes at Ge Dongxu, saying, "No way, I have to eat this grudge away, you must treat today."
"I didn't expect Teacher Wu to still be such a stickler! Fine then, if I must treat, I will," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
Seeing Ge Dongxu teasing her, Wu Yili could only grit her teeth, but she couldn't really do anything to him. This was a campus and she, a university professor, couldn't cross the line.
The two then left the campus together and caught a taxi.
Ge Dongxu had intended to sit in the front passenger seat, but Wu Yili pushed him into the back seat instead, and then she squeezed in next to him, told the taxi driver to head towards Emerald Residence by Mingyue Lake, and then started pinching Ge Dongxu fiercely.
"Getting bold, aren't you? Daring to publicly tease me on campus!" Wu Yili said through clenched teeth while pinching.
Wu Yili was just in her early thirties and quite beautiful, with especially fair and delicate skin. Because she was a professor, her demeanor was generally more composed and dignified, so students and colleagues usually didn't peg her as being in her twenties. However, those who didn't know her in society would almost certainly mistake her for a woman in her mid-twenties if they saw her on the street.
Now, losing the air of a professor and both pinching and chiding Ge Dongxu, the two looked very much like a couple teasing each other in a May-December romance. This prompted the driver to give Ge Dongxu a thumbs up on the sly.
"Teacher Wu, mind your image. The driver is sneakily watching us!" Ge Dongxu whispered to her, enduring the "pain" from Wu Yili's pinching.
At his words, Wu Yili looked up and indeed noticed the driver's eyes darting to the rearview mirror. Her face instantly blushed like a fiery cloud, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
She was, after all, a respected university professor!
