MSISAS |Chapter 9: Confessing

Xu Qing sat on the sofa, looking quite relaxed and at ease, but upon closer inspection, one of her hands was clenched tightly behind her back.

Was she nervous? Yes, she was. In her twenty-five years of life, she had never confessed her feelings before. Even her first time performing surgery wasn’t as nerve-wracking as this.

She was eagerly waiting for the moment to come.

Finally, Lu Xianzhi appeared in a white doll dress, her large eyes staring at Xu Qing across from her, looking petite and obedient.

Xu Qing suppressed the wildly beating heart within her chest and walked over with a calm demeanor.

She handed the flowers she had been hiding behind her back to her. It was a bouquet of pink roses.

Lu Xianzhi would never know their flower language.

“Thank you for the flowers.”

“Mm.”

Seeing Lu Xianzhi accepting the flowers, Xu Qing’s ears reddened slightly, making her appear very innocent.

“Xiao Zhi.”

“Go on.”

Xu Qing looked at Lu Xianzhi with eyes full of emotion. In the camera’s lens, her gaze truly stirred people’s hearts, a gaze so deep with feeling it would remind one of the passionate young man in their heart.

“I’ve always been an unromantic person. I’m a medical student, usually very busy, with no time to think about other things. I know I’m really boring.”

“But, I’m willing to change my boring soul for you. I will learn about everything you like.”

“In ‘The Selfish Gene,’ it’s said that I will go against my nature and defy my instincts to love you forever.”

Lu Xianzhi looked at her, truly didn’t expect her to say so much. If it weren’t for that particular matter, she might have believed it to be real.

“I promise you!”

Xu Qing took Lu Xianzhi’s hand and step by step led her away.

Indeed, they left together.

“Do you have a ride home?”

“No, did you drive here?”

“Mm, my car’s been parked there for a while.”

“Then it’s up to my one-day boyfriend to take me home!”

“Mm.”

Xu Qing gentlemanly helped Lu Xianzhi open the door.

“To Green Woods Villa!”

“Alright.”

“You know, earlier you were so serious. If we hadn’t agreed beforehand, I might have taken you seriously.”

Xu Qing was wearing sunglasses, and Lu Xianzhi couldn’t see her expression, but Xu Qing knew that her gaze couldn’t be completely innocent.

Yes, she was serious.

However, she didn’t say it out loud. “You have to make it look good, right?”

“Hahaha, even if it’s just for show, you’re more genuine than any of my exes. No comparison at all.”

Xu Qing didn’t want to hear Lu Xianzhi bring up her exes. She felt jealous, but couldn’t say anything, which made her even more jealous.

“They just sent WeChat messages. Just four words. It’s ridiculous. But that’s probably why all those relationships were so short.”

“Xu Qing, have you really never been in a relationship?”

“Mm.”

“With how good-looking you are, how has no one confessed to you?”

“I’m taller than most boys and I don’t like to talk much, so no boys have ever confessed to me.”

“What about girls? You really have the kind of charm that could turn someone.”

Xu Qing’s eyes, hidden behind the sunglasses, flashed with an unusual light.

“There have been.”

“I knew it!”

“I didn’t like them.” I only like you.

“Ah, what a pity!”

“Hmm?”

“Hehe, I honestly think there’s no one more handsome than you. Do people in your family have such good genes? Really born in the wrong gender.”

“Thank you, but whether girl or boy, it doesn’t matter.”

“Just how boring were you back in high school? I don’t see any boringness in you now!”

“Maybe that’s just how you feel.”

“Hmm, it’s a shame I didn’t meet you earlier. Little Xu Qing from high school must have been very cute!”

Xu Qing’s ears turned bright red with warmth.

Yes, very innocent, “You’re also very cute, even now.”

“No, you’re too cute! I really like you, and we have to be best friends forever!”

“Okay.” Who would want to be best friends with you forever?

“We’re here.”

“Goodbye! You must come by next time!”

“Mm.”

Xu Qing watched Lu Xianzhi’s figure fade into the distance, and even as night fell, Xu Qing’s car remained there.

Under the warm glow of the streetlamp, her figure cast a long shadow.

Xu Qing found herself enveloped in a cloud of smoke, how long had it been since she last smoked?

She only remembered the last time was when she first joined the hospital, during a particularly stressful period.

A 22-year-old doctor, a genius of sorts.

Her life had never faced significant ups and downs, it was rather smooth, but nonetheless, it was always void.

In this haze, Xu Qing’s pale and slender fingers held the cigarette, exhaling a puff of smoke. Her straight nose was faintly visible, and her tall figure leaned against the car door.

Seductive, that’s the only way to describe it.

If only her eyes displayed a bit more allure, I’m certain there wouldn’t be a single girl who wouldn’t go weak at the knees.

After some time, Xu Qing finally left.

Xu Qing had her own house; she was actually something of a rich second generation, so she didn’t really have to work this hard.

This was a villa in the affluent district, where each household was fairly spaced apart.

This was the closest property to Lu Xianzhi’s home. She didn’t particularly like it here, it was too large, and for someone like Xu Qing who lived alone, it was too cold and lonely.

Of course, it was a bit farther from the hospital. Previously, she had lived with her parents because their house was closer to the hospital.

She was soon going to inherit her father’s company, which was why she skipped so many grades. She loved being a doctor and wanted to spend more years in that field.

“Soon.”

Xu Qing never complained about him, even though he was often not home, she barely experienced any fatherly love.

But it was a responsibility she had to bear.

In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, under the cold moonlight, Xu Qing lay on the bed like a vampire from the Middle Ages, her sleeping face elegant and mysterious.

She always felt a void inside, which led to her boring soul.

She actually had a secret, but her family always knew.

That is, her ID stated she was a boy.

The year she was born, the nurse made a mistake with her gender during registration. They didn’t pay much attention at the time, so her classmates thought she was a boy.

Thus, no boy ever confessed.

Since she was young, she was dressed like a boy, and honestly, you really couldn’t tell.

She could actually marry her, yes, but she didn’t want to deceive him.

Even if she fell for a boy, it was possible, just a change of gender, not a hard thing.

Who knows?

It just so happened to be her.
