Upon hearing Zhao Qingyao's words, Li Chuan felt a chill in his heart at first, but then a little excitement welled up.
"Sister Qingyao, you can't say things like that randomly, it's impossible..."
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm good friends with your sister-in-law; all her close girlfriends know that her greatest wish is to have her own baby. With your prowess, wouldn't she get twins in one go?"
"Even if my sister-in-law wants it, my brother wouldn't agree!"
"You're supposed to be a medical student; how come you don't understand this? Your sister-in-law went to the hospital a few days ago and inquired about IVF, but she's definitely using that as an excuse, just to borrow your seed!"
"This..."
"So I'm saying, faced with a rare catch like you, your sister-in-law certainly won't let go easily. Just wait and see!"
As she spoke, Zhao Qingyao hugged Li Chuan tighter, playfully nibbling on his ear lobe, "Tell me, do you want to be with Song Hanzhang? If you do, I'll help you tomorrow night! Who knows, maybe the three of us can have fun together!"
Li Chuan was speechless!
This woman is too wild!
Thinking about the two of them, one tall and elegant, the other petite and delicate, Li Chuan couldn't help but react bodily.
But at that moment.
"Click~"
The sound of a door opening suddenly came from downstairs.
Li Chuan was startled.
Zhao Qingyao's husband was still downstairs!
"Don't worry, he has kidney deficiency; he gets up several times every night to go to the bathroom."
Zhao Qingyao seemed unfazed.
However, Li Chuan was worried; what if Vice Director Ding came upstairs?
Wouldn't they be caught in the act!
Li Chuan's guess was right!
After using the restroom, Ding Yang didn't return to his bedroom directly; he opened his daughter's room next to his and, seeing Zhao Qingyao wasn't inside, softly called out into the hallway, "Zhao Qingyao, where are you?"
Holy crap!
Upon hearing this, Li Chuan quickly got off Zhao Qingyao, ready to climb out the window.
But Zhao Qingyao grabbed him.
"Relax."
With that, Zhao Qingyao got up, without putting on clothes, walked over to the door, opened a crack in it, and asked, "What's up at this hour?"
"Why are you sleeping upstairs?"
"I've been sleeping with my daughter, not sleeping well, so I want to sleep alone tonight."
"Oh, then go ahead and sleep."
As his words ended, footsteps sounded downstairs, then the door closed with a click.
Only then did Li Chuan relax, ready to get out of bed.
"You're leaving? Just sleep here tonight, and we can have another go later!"
Li Chuan shook his head, "Better not; sleeping here makes me anxious. How about you come to my place sometime?"
Zhao Qingyao approached, caressed his chest, and nodded, "Okay, better when no one's home, so we can really let loose. I had to restrain myself just now; couldn't even make noise, it was no fun."
"Okay." Li Chuan was truly convinced by this little vixen; she appeared graceful and poised, brimming with nobility, yet she was so libertine!
Maybe, Song Hanzhang was the same?
...
The next morning, Li Chuan was still attending military training at the university.
But this time, facing various goddess-like figures, Li Chuan no longer felt lost and helpless like before.
Because he felt like he was finally a man!
Moreover, the women he had were even more beautiful and outstanding than these female students.
By chance, his gaze met Su Qinghe's in the air, and unexpectedly, she offered a sweet smile.
At that moment, Li Chuan found Su Qinghe quite peculiar; so young, yet getting involved with married men? Plus, she's smiling at me now—what does that imply? Is she playing games with me?
Li Chuan pondered for a moment and immediately realized: likely, Su Qinghe, like him, was playing with Vice Director Ding while Ding was playing with her, just as Zhao Qingyao and him. Despite how it seemed like Zhao Qingyao and Song Hanzhang were longing for him, in reality, Li Chuan desired Dual Cultivation with them even more!
Of course, none of this stopped Li Chuan from seeking other girls for Dual Cultivation and maybe talking about feelings.
But speaking of that, even though Su Qinghe could be considered a campus beauty among freshmen, having known women like Song Hanzhang and Zhao Qingyao, he truly wasn't impressed by her.
Especially understanding her affair with Ding Yang left him totally uninterested.
However, if she could solely be a Dual Cultivation partner, Li Chuan might consider.
After all, she was young, and who knows what distinctions there might be between her and Zhao Qingyao during Dual Cultivation.
...
In the afternoon, Li Chuan left the university and, upon arriving at the gate, saw Zhao Qingyao parked on the road.
The two of them returned to the neighborhood, had lunch with Song Hanzhang, then Zhao Qingyao took Li Chuan to the show set.
This show was aimed at promoting traditional Chinese medicine, naturally showcasing stories of healing and rescue.
The show adopted a free clinic model.
Leading the clinic were Sun Lianting and Li Chuan.
Yet in everyone's eyes, Sun Lianting was the true lead of this event.
The location was a street in North City's old district.
To make the show feel more realistic, they rigged a banner between two large plane trees on the street.
Of course, necessary cameras were present, though in hidden spots.
"Actually, this show's quite relaxed; just examine the elderly people on the street, provide herbal prescriptions if they're unwell, and let them take it home and adjust."
"The main purpose is to promote, prevent our ancestors' wisdom from losing its legacy."
"Mm."
Li Chuan nodded, signaling his understanding.
Soon, many elderly people from the street lined up for consultation.
Compared to Li Chuan, many aged folks preferred the gray-haired, Zhongshan-suited, steady-tempered Sun Lianting.
After all, Sun Lianting's demeanor looked more like a true practitioner of Chinese medicine.
"Chuan, you were recommended by Reporter Zhao and Vice Director Ding. I'm quite optimistic about you; don't waste this rare chance; learn well." Sun Lianting said to Li Chuan in earnest.
Even though Li Chuan had saved Old Master Liu before, Sun Lianting hadn't seen it himself; he assumed Li Chuan's success was just lucky.
"Yes!"
Li Chuan hardly knew Sun Lianting, but he felt the guy's gaze at Zhao Qingyao was somewhat lewd, as if he wanted to devour her.
"Chuan, don't mind his pretentiousness," Zhao Qingyao whispered next to Li Chuan, "He's often harassed me and your sister-in-law before; real old perv!"
No wonder!
Didn't expect this guy also liked seducing other men's wives.
Just then, a group pushed a cart over, seemingly with someone lying on it.
