The Young Urban Doctor

The girl in white unconsciously lowered her head, then quickly raised it again, staring at Luo Ziling without blinking, a slight surprise in her eyes. Then she broke into a smile and said softly, "It's okay!"

Her smile blossomed like an orchid in seclusion, making Luo Ziling feel dizzy once again.

He finally thought of a phrase—bewitchingly beautiful.

Yes, he felt that only this idiom could describe the girl's radiant smile.

A smile that captivates the city, a smile again that captivates the state, Luo Ziling genuinely felt the meaning behind these words.

Her voice was also very pleasant, as crisp as the song of a lark leaving the valley, and melodious as the sound of nature.

"Didn't frighten...you, did it?" Luo Ziling's voice was slightly unnatural, and a blush crept onto his face.

Seeing Luo Ziling's embarrassed manner, the girl looked at him twice and then smiled brightly again, her smile radiant with a touch of mischief.

"You did scare me, but... it's alright now," she said, her eyes fixed on Luo Ziling the entire time.

Luo Ziling responded with an embarrassed smile, shyly scratching his head.

After their laughter subsided, neither said anything.

The girl stared at Luo Ziling unblinkingly, her eyes free from anger, restraint, or nervousness, filled instead with an indescribable calmness and gentleness. Luo Ziling didn't look away either, watching her with a slight smile.

They simply gazed at each other in silence, as if drawn by the attraction of their eyes.

Eventually, both of them smiled brightly at the same time. The girl's smile and her indescribably beautiful visage made Luo Ziling's heartbeat quicken, and that indescribable feeling that had been quietly growing inside him became stronger.

Luo Ziling, although not formally educated, considered himself well-read in poetry and literature. However, he regretted feeling that despite reading so many books and studying poems, he could find no fitting words or phrases to describe the grace and beauty of the girl before him.

"Fair maiden of the north, peerless and independent; a smile that captivates the city, another that captivates the state"—even this poem seemed a bit abstract.

What a pity.

"I'm leaving, goodbye," the girl said with another pursed-lip smile amidst Luo Ziling's daze, and then she slowly walked away.

As she stepped away, she playfully twirled half a circle with the object in her hand towards Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling was a bit surprised but didn't hold her back, nor could he.

He wanted to say something more, but suddenly he didn't know what to say, and just watched the girl walk away in a daze.

As the girl placed the object behind her and walked away with her head held high, Luo Ziling finally saw it clearly—it was a long flute.

"Did she come here to play the flute?" Luo Ziling asked himself.

Just now, he had not heard the sound of the flute.

After walking a few steps, the girl stopped, turned around.

Seeing Luo Ziling still standing there watching her, she tilted her head and smiled at him again before walking away quickly.

Somehow, before Luo Ziling startled her, there was an indescribable sorrow in her heart that had nothing to do with others, only related to the moon and wind. She had been carrying these thoughts for many years.

But after being scared by Luo Ziling and exchanging a few smiling glances with him, this inexplicable sorrow suddenly disappeared from her heart, replaced by an excitement and peace she had never felt before.

This young man, with his smile, was truly handsome and adorable---it was the first time she had made such a comment about a boy.

As the girl turned to him with a smile, Luo Ziling also revealed a brilliant smile.

There were no more regrets in his heart, only tenderness and ease.

He lost the desire to walk around Lake Heart Island, and after strolling slowly for a while, he turned back.

The beauty had left, and at least for today, there was no other scenery that could attract him here.

When Luo Ziling returned to the dormitory, those guys had already come back.

Cao Jianhui seemed to have had some alcohol and was endlessly boasting, while Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang listened eagerly on the side.

The moment Cao Jianhui saw Luo Ziling return, he immediately got up to pull his hand, "Boss, today I've thoroughly investigated the famous school beauties of our university, and I plan to pursue them. Which one should I chase, and which one has the highest success rate, give me some advice."

Originally, Luo Ziling wasn't interested and wanted to lie on his bed alone to reflect on what had just happened, but after a second thought, he ultimately sat on the bed with Cao Jianhui and patiently listened to him talk about the situation of the school beauties he had learned about.

"Just now, I was discussing with them about last year's ranking of school beauties, and in a month or two, the latest ranking will definitely be out," Cao Jianhui said like an authority figure to the three companions by his side: "The old ranking of school beauties is no longer of any significance."

"I don't know about any school beauty ranking, tell me about it. They all know but not me, it's unfair." Luo Ziling interrupted Cao Jianhui with a smile, "Anyway, you like talking about these things, right?"

"Alright," Cao Jianhui had no choice but to agree, "Last year's ranking of school beauties went like this: first place was Yang Qingyin, second was Dai Shulan, third was Jian Fei, fourth was Luo Yuqing, fifth was..."

As he mentioned these women's names, Cao Jianhui entered his element, reciting the names of the ten most famous school beauties and then describing their details. However, his account of their characteristics was hearsay at best, somewhat haphazard.

In any case, Luo Ziling didn't hear any description that matched the image of the girl in white he met earlier, which somewhat disappointed him. Could it be that the girl he encountered was not a student from the school?

"Second Brother, do you have photos of the school beauties?" Caught up in the conversation, Li Fuming asked in a low voice while Cao Jianhui took a drink.

"I can't get all of them for now, but I've already obtained some high-resolution pictures of a few," Cao Jianhui put down his teacup, took out his phone, and showed the pictures he had managed to obtain to the boys gathered around him. "This is Jian Fei, this is Luo Yuqing..."

After looking at the pictures of the famous school beauties of Yan University that Cao Jianhui managed to get, Luo Ziling still felt regret.

"Why didn't I think to ask her name just now?" he couldn't help reproaching himself inwardly.

"You guys tell me, which school beauty should I pursue?" After putting down the phone, Cao Jianhui said with a serious face: "According to what I know, none of these girls on the old school beauty ranking have clear boyfriends."

"Pfft," Li Fuming couldn't help but scorn: "As if you're the emperor picking your concubines, all these goddesses are at your disposal?"

"You're just jealous, I'm naturally handsome," Cao Jianhui flicked his hair with flair, "I'm talented and good-looking, it's not hard to win a school beauty's heart, is it? But, these school beauties are all older than me, maybe I should set my sights on the new girls who enrolled this year, and see which ones will be chosen into the ranking of school beauties."

As a result, Cao Jianhui's shameless words were met with mocking laughter from Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang.

Luo Ziling remained silent.

In his heart, he was wondering, who could that girl in white he met be?
