There was a pretty girl wearing a white skirt, white silk stockings, and white high heels on the side of the street. She was being entangled by a tall, slim man with pimples all over his face who looked to be in his 20s. The man held the girl’s arm and would not let go as he shouted loudly, “Liu Kexin, my father is now the director of the hospital. He can help you become the head nurse. When he retires, this whole hospital will be ours. Come and be with me.”
The young girl turned out to be the innocent young nurse who had taken care of Xiao Bing twice in a row before.
Hearing what he said, Liu Kexin answered anxiously and angrily while struggling hard, “Lu Qiang, let me go. I don’t want to be your girlfriend.”
“Who else do you want to be with if not me?” the man shouted. “I declared in the hospital that I would have you be my girlfriend before the 60th Anniversary Gala of our hospital. Do you want me to lose face?”
“I really don’t want to. Please let me go…”
Lu Qiang was furious and raised his hand up, about to hit her. When his hand was coming down, Xiao Bing grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm behind his back. Lu Qiang screamed out loudly in pain and let go of Liu Kexin’s arm as he was unable to control himself
Liu Kexin did not expect to encounter Xiao Bing. She stared at him in surprise and said, “It’s… it’s you.”
“It’s me.” Xiao Bing smiled. He looked at the guy called Lu Qiang and a cold light was revealed in his eyes. He kicked the guy to the ground with his face up.
Liu Kexin grabbed Xiao Bing’s arm hastily and said in a panic, “Don’t… don’t fight please. Let him go. His name is Lu Qiang, whose father, Lu Chunlai, is the director of Jiang City Hospital. His father is very powerful. What’s more, he just wants to pursue me…”
Xiao Bing would not care about merely a director. Although Xiao Bing had been out of the Dragon Gate for a long time, every one of the people he knew would be far superior to this director. But Xiao Bing was aware that this young nurse was soft-hearted, which he had fully taken advantage of in the hospital. Considering Lu Qiang’s method was not bad enough to warrant disabling him or anything else, Xiao Bing did not continue to kick him.
Lu Qiang struggled to get up from the ground, covering his belly in agony. He glared at Xiao Bing angrily and asked, “Who… who are you?”
A good idea came to Xiao Bing. He answered with a smile, “I am Kexin’s boyfriend.”
Hearing these words, Liu Kexin was surprised with her mouth wide open.
Lu Qiang glanced at Liu Kexin and said in a rage, “I don’t believe you. Why have I never heard that she has a boyfriend?”
“What a joke.” Xiao Bing could not help laughing out loud. “Why should we report to you that we are in a relationship? You are neither her father nor the god in charge of marriage. It’s none of your business!”
Lu Qiang deeply knew in his heart that he could not defeat Xiao Bing, but he would feel indignant doing nothing but surrendering. Then he found another way to deal with Xiao Bing. He said, “You claim to be Kexin’s boyfriend, right? There will be the 60th Anniversary Gala Evening for our hospital in two days. I dare you to sign up with Kexin in the name of Kexin’s boyfriend and put on a performance together. Only then will I believe you. I will stay away from Kexin from then on.”
Lu Qiang thought that he was either a soldier or a security guard judging from his appearance. Fighting might be his skill but putting on a show was definitely not. How could he not make a fool of himself?
Lu Qiang expected Xiao Bing to turn him down or seem to be in a dilemma. However, Xiao Bing accepted immediately and said, “OK, I will stand on stage with Kexin in two days.”
Lu Qiang was startled and felt uneasy. With the words having been said, Lu Qiang was totally confident with his judgment. He nodded and said, “OK, I’ll wait to see you in two days.”
“Hmph, no one had forced you to do so. I will wait and see how you are ashamed in front of the audience. If you are, Kexin will leave you for sure no matter who you are.”
Lu Qiang had planned it well and made arrangements as soon as he went back. He would be the last one in the show to reveal his true strength after Xiao Bing had made a mess, in order to make a sharp contrast. “Let’s see if Kexin still fancies Xiao Bing then.”
Lu Qiang got into his car and left soon after.
After Lu Qiang left, Liu Kexin let out a sigh of relief but soon started to worry. She pouted while saying, “Thank you for saving me. But how can you lie to someone and say that you are my boyfriend anyway…”
Xiao Bing laughed and said, “I am doing it all for you to avoid any harassment in the hospital from now on. If you didn’t let me hit him now, he would keep doing it in the future. But it would be different if you had a boyfriend.”
Liu Kexin was still a bit gloomy and said, “But what should we do when the time comes to perform?”
Xiao Bing asked, “Can you dance?”
“Dance? Eh… yes. Do you mean couples dancing? It is difficult for us to work well together in only two days.”
Xiao Bing said with a confident smile, “Don’t worry. I have my own ways.”
Looking at Xiao Bing’s confident face, Liu Kexin was infected. She started to believe that maybe Xiao Bing could create a miracle.
“Do you have to go to work in the next two days?”
“There is no need. If I sign up for the gala, I can rehearse in the city gym according to the rules of the hospital.”
Xiao Bing then asked, “Must it be alone and not with anyone else?”
Liu Kexin thought for a minute and said, “They have to ensure that they are kept informed of the latest progress and status of the participants because no accident is allowed to happen. I’m afraid it is difficult.”
Xiao Bing laughed. “That can be solved, too. Go and talk to Lu Qiang and say that if we can’t rehearse alone, I won’t attend. He wants me to humiliate myself on stage, so he must regard it as my excuse to skip the performance. So he will do everything to help you. Give me a call when he has settled it. I will pick you up to find a place to do our rehearsal alone.”
Liu Kexin was confused, “Why do we have to be alone?”
Xiao Bing laughed out loud. “To keep Lu Qiang blind to our situation. We will give him a big shock once it comes to the actual stage.”
Liu Kexin smiled. “You do believe in yourself, while I don’t. Because you have helped me today, I will go ask Lu Qiang tomorrow. I really don’t want to talk to him now as I didn’t expect him to turn violent after he failed to pursue me.”
“Rest assured.” Xiao Bing looked at Liu Kexin and smiled. “The matter will be settled in two days. If he continues to pester you, I will have his father break his leg in person!”
Although Liu Kexin did not believe it, his words really warmed her heart. She did not realize that Xiao Bing really had this ability. As long as Xiao Bing contacted Zhang Yizhi, it would be a piece of cake to dismiss a director. Furthermore, Xiao Bing had other people to rely on, such as Master Hou and the Ye family, who could ruin a hospital director in a flash.
“Let me take you home.”
Xiao Bing led Liu Kexin across the road. When she saw Xiao Bing’s car was even more luxurious than Lu Qiang’s, Liu Kexin was surprised. “I didn’t expect you to be so rich.”
Liu Kexin’s words made Xiao Bing feel she was honest and cute rather than materialistic. Moreover, from Liu Kexin’s eyes, there was only astonishment rather than envy or jealousy. This was a pure-minded girl.
“Get in the car.” Xiao Bing opened the passenger door. It was after Liu Kexin got in that Xiao Bing sat in the driver’s seat and buckled his safety belt to leave.
“Where is your home?”
“The No. 9 building of the Garden Community, Garden Street… Just drop me off at the entrance of the Garden Community.”
Xiao Bing smiled and responded, “It’s OK. How’s your work recently?”
“It’s been great. I really love this job.”
“Because you have a kind heart like an angel. You would surely fall in love with this kind of noble job.”
Liu Kexin was embarrassed. She made a face and stuck out her tongue while red-eared.
“Does Lu Qiang always harass you in the hospital?”
“Yes. He began to pursue me when I started working there. It got tense, especially when his father was promoted as the director. He used to be gentler, but lately, he declared to have me be his girlfriend before the 60th Anniversary Gala of our hospital. He must have held a grudge when he failed.”
Xiao Bing laughed. “I’m afraid I am the one he hates most, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll make him too embarrassed to mention pursuing you again in three days. But how is this new director? The former one was called Zhou Zeshan if I remember correctly. I heard a lot of bad comments about him.”
“Yes. Director Zhou was suspended because of some corruption stuff. This new director seems to be nice and has a good reputation. He asked me to go to his office once, where he said that he really appreciated me and he would accept it with delight if I was willing to be his son’s girlfriend. If I was not, he wouldn’t help Lu Qiang embarrass me either. I would be long gone in this hospital if Director Lu was not reasonable.”
Xiao Bing nodded and dispelled the idea of punishing Director Lu. He used to believe this whole thing happened because of Director Lu’s ignorance behind the scene, but now it seemed not. Maybe Director Lu would just let them love freely and did not want to interfere.
They soon arrived at the Garden Community. Xiao Bing did not park until he drove straight into the community to the No. 9 building.
Liu Kexin unbuckled the safety belt and opened the car door to get out. She waved at Xiao Bing with an innocent grin on her delicate and tender face. “Bye-bye and thank you, Brother Xiao.”
“You’re welcome.” Xiao Bing smiled back.
Liu Kexin shut the door and hopped away. Seeing her from behind running into the corridor, Xiao Bing cracked a smile on his face.
