Chapter 1374: Chapter 1373: The Goddess Appears at the Library

Late autumn on campus: the leaves have turned yellow, rustling down and covering the paths, then get swept to the side by the janitor uncles and aunties.

The students are all wearing more layers now, but their moods haven’t been infected by the bleakness of autumn; they’re still as lively and spirited as if it were spring.

After all, they’re still living in the ivory tower, haven’t yet been beaten up by society, and feel like the world is simple and beautiful. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Tuesday, cloudy, light clouds and a gentle breeze, refreshing weather.

Some classmates who didn’t have morning classes came to the library early. Some grabbed seats, some casually picked up a book and flipped through it.

"Whoa, what the hell? How come you’re in the library this early?" Wang Haoyu stared at a tall guy in shock.

The tall guy said, "Tch, you’re one to talk—aren’t you here too?"

"I’m here to look up materials, okay? I’ve got to hand in my thesis next year. Aren’t you only writing yours next year?"

"Eh? Ahahaha, well then, uh, wish you a successful graduation!"

"No, what did you mean just now, coming to the library with ’other purposes’?"

"No, no, nothing..."

"Huh, Han Minghui’s here too. You two dead-last-in-class types, what are you doing, showing up at the library first thing in the morning—performance art?"

Just then, a sudden commotion broke out in the library, and then it instantly fell silent again.

The abrupt change made several people nearby who didn’t know what was going on look at each other, getting nervous.

"What the hell is going on?" The just-interrogated Wang Haoyu grabbed the tall guy next to him and asked in a low voice, "Spit it out honestly, what’s the situation?"

The tall guy sighed, then signaled toward the main entrance with his eyes.

Wang Haoyu followed his gaze, then couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath.

A pair of white sneakers, above that a pair of loose jeans, and above that a light khaki trench coat—looks pretty ordinary.

But on this particular wearer, those ordinary clothes are suddenly lit up with the texture of a shot from a romance movie.

Fair, smooth skin, long black glossy hair, brows like distant ink, eyes like points of starlight.

That gentle smile at the corner of her lips is enough to cure any stuffiness in your heart.

"Holy shit?"

Wang Haoyu was dumbfounded. "Our school actually has a beauty like this and I didn’t know? Is she a freshman, or a first-year grad student?"

"She’s not a freshman, and not a first-year grad. She’s already working—she’s Doctor Liu from Longhua Hospital."

The tall guy lowered his voice. "Liu Qingyan, from Hu Province, PhD from Beidu Huayi Medical College, born into a Hua Medical Family, special-appointed Professor at Huaguo Medical University, special-appointed expert at Longhua Hospital."

"Holy shit? For real or fake?"

"Straighten your tongue when you talk!"

"I mean, someone like her is someone you think you can covet?"

"I’m not coveting anything. This is just the normal appreciation of beauty, everyone has it. Besides, just looking isn’t against the law, right?"

"Hehe, and Han Minghui too?"

"Of course."

"Wow, wow, wow, and here we are calling ourselves the ’Three Orthopedic Heroes’. There’s a stunner like this and you two didn’t even tell me?"

"Ahem, aren’t you about to graduate?"

"I still have freaking half a year!"

"Uh, don’t you still have a thesis to write?"

"You only just found that out!"

The two of them burst into a muffled argument beside the shelves, making Liu Qingyan turn her head to glance back.

Which immediately drew the angry glares of the other male students.

The two 1.8-meter-tall guys instantly turned into two little quails under the ferocious stares of the pack of wolves, shutting up at once and lowering their heads to read.

They waited until Liu Qingyan walked past not far away, strolling between the shelves, before Wang Haoyu quietly asked the tall guy again, "She’s a medical PhD and a special-appointed expert—how come she’s at the library? And you guys can even show up here at a fixed time just to wait for her?"

"That’s why she’s badass!" The tall guy explained in a low voice. "Even though she’s already a Professor, she still comes to the library to read for half a day every week, and she’ll borrow a few books to take back and return them the next week."

Wang Haoyu suddenly had a flash of insight. "Every Tuesday?"

"Every Tuesday."

Just then, the last member of their Orthopedic Three Heroes, Han Minghui, also came over.

"Doctor Liu is beautiful and kind. Last time I followed my advisor to the hospital for my internship, I actually saw Doctor Liu do acupuncture for a skin disease patient. That body full of festering sores made me sick just looking at it, but Doctor Liu acted like she didn’t feel anything at all."

"Was the patient cured?" Wang Haoyu asked.

"Of course they were cured!" Han Minghui said matter-of-factly. "Doctor Liu’s Medical Skill is amazing. Tons of difficult and complicated cases can’t even last three courses of treatment in her hands."

The tall guy, Liu Haoyang, said, "All the silk banners that patients sent to Doctor Liu have already filled up her clinic and her office. Now when a new one comes, they have to take down an old one to make room."

Wang Haoyu was speechless. "You guys really know a hell of a lot about Doctor Liu."

"It’s a pity Doctor Liu only comes to the school once a week. She reads for one morning and leaves at noon, doesn’t even go to the cafeteria to eat..."

Han Minghui sighed. "The wish of sitting at the same table and eating with her—who knows when that’ll ever come true..."

"Simp!" Wang Haoyu cursed, then couldn’t help adding, "We could just go to the hospital, right?"

The tall guy, Liu Haoyang, shook his head. "You’re overthinking it. At Longhua Hospital, Doctor Liu only sees outpatients one day a week too. At lunch, all the seats next to her are taken by the young nurses. Lately we’ve only managed to sit two tables away."

Wang Haoyu was completely stunned. "You actually went?"

"Ahem, otherwise how would we know this much?" Liu Haoyang said.

"Then have you found out anything else about her, ahem, like..."

Wang Haoyu cleared his throat twice. "Like, whether she has a boyfriend?"

"Tch..."

"Shh..."

"Give up on that thought. She has a boyfriend already, and he often comes to pick her up after work."

"Then..."

"Two idiots who didn’t know better have already tried. They got politely rejected."

"So..."

"She won’t give her number, won’t give her WeChat, leaves as soon as time’s up. And she just sits quietly in the library reading—how are you supposed to stick to her like glue?"

"Plus there are so many pairs of eyes around watching. You really think you can be that shameless?"

"And most importantly, just look at her achievements—do you seriously think you’re worthy?"

"I have..."

"Hua Medical Family, special-appointed Professor—do you think she’s short of money?"

"You two bastards, can you let me finish my sentence for once?"

"Go on then!"

Being stared at by his two best bros who looked like they’d seen through everything, Wang Haoyu took a deep breath and thought for a long time.

"I guess... I don’t really have anything to say..."

Wang Haoyu sighed. "So you bunch just camp out here every Tuesday?"

"Nonsense, what do you mean ’we camp out here every Tuesday’?"

"We are purely coming to the library to read and study!"
