345 Unromantic
“Miss Qin, what a coincidence. We met again!”
Gu Qing stepped into the medical equipment shop. His dark and deep eyes lit up the moment he saw Qin Xi.
“Huh? Dean Gu, are you here to buy medical equipment too?” Qin Xi was slightly surprised. She didn’t expect to meet Gu Qing here.
Ever since they parted last time, Qin Xi had almost forgotten about this person. If not for her powerful memory, it would be very embarrassing now.
Fortunately, Gu Qing was quite good-looking and could be stored in her memory for a longer time. Otherwise, she would have long forgotten about him.
Gu Qing smiled faintly. “I happened to be shopping around this area, but I didn’t expect to see you here.”
It meant that they had met by chance.
Unfortunately, Qin Xi, the unromantic woman, did not understand what he meant. She asked in confusion, “Aren’t you busy at the hospital?”
As a dean, he actually came out to shop during weekdays.
“I heard that you want to buy silver needles? These are all Western medicine equipment. If you want to buy a set of needles, I know a place that sells them. Why don’t I take you there?”
“Thank you then, Dean Gu.”
The two of them walked side by side on the street. Gu Qing said in a low voice, “Miss Qin, I thought we were already friends after working together last time. I didn’t expect you to still call me Dean Gu.”
“Huh?” Qin Xi was stunned. Without thinking too much, she said, “If you don’t call me Dean Gu, should I call me Gu Qing?”
Hearing his name from Qin Xi, for some reason, Gu Qing felt like his heart was being tickled by a feather. It was itchy, but he enjoyed it very much. The tips of his ears subconsciously turned red.
He suppressed the nervousness in his voice and smiled faintly. “Then let’s call me that. Can I call you Xi?”
Qin Xi looked at him strangely. Seeing that there was no other expression on his cold face, she frowned. “Just call me Qin Xi. Forget about Xi.”
After all, she was a married woman now.. She did not want any gossip about her having something to do with another man.
Gu Qing, on the other hand, wasn’t angry. He felt that he was being slightly pushy.
When Qin Xi saw a road sign in front of her, she asked suspiciously, “Where is the place you talk about? I remember that the street ahead is an antique street, right? Are you sure there’s a place that sells silver needles over there?”
“You’ll know when you get there.” Gu Qing didn’t answer her straightaway.
Qin Xi said helplessly, “Alright!”
When the two of them arrived at the antique street, Qin Xi suddenly thought of something.
If she remembered correctly, Grandma Xia, Xia Tangxin’s grandmother, was holding her 60th birthday on November 15th, the day before the medical exchange, which was two days later.
She had been so busy recently that she had forgotten such an important thing. Fortunately, she still had time to choose a gift. Otherwise, it would be extremely awkward to go empty-handed.
Just as she was thinking about what gift to buy for the old lady, a fight suddenly broke out in front of her. It was quite loud. A group of people was beating up a young man. A little girl who was kneeling on the ground was kowtowing and crying to stop them.
No one dared to go forward and stop the fight. They all gathered in a circle to watch the show. Although they sympathized with the young man and the little girl, they did not want to get involved. They only shook their heads silently and looked at them with pity.
