Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 722 - 721: What Does It Matter Being Just Two or Three Years Older Than This Gentleman

Perhaps because it was the dead of winter, not many people were out dining at the Emerald Residence tonight.

However, precisely for this reason, a few candlelights, a few pairs of young people whispering softly, made the Emerald Residence appear all the more quaint and romantic tonight.

Ge Dongxu and Wu Yili chose a corner table by the window, ordered several delicate dishes and a bottle of red wine.

Maybe it was because of the incident in the taxi earlier, or perhaps it was the ambiance of the Emerald Residence, under the candlelight, Wu Yili's fair face sported a captivating blush, and she seemed hesitant to meet Ge Dongxu's gaze, often looking outside the window, as if there was some beautiful scenery out there.

This Wu Yili held an enchanting allure that was different from the past. freēnovelkiss.com

Ge Dongxu was unconsciously drawn to Wu Yili at this moment.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have flowers growing on my face?" Wu Yili finally couldn't stand Ge Dongxu's gaze any longer, and, with a blush, shot him a glare after taking her eyes off the window.

"You are indeed a flower!" Ge Dongxu sincerely admired.

"Getting bolder by the minute, teasing me again!" Wu Yili said, and then kicked Ge Dongxu under the table twice.

"Teacher Wu, why don't you ever believe me when I tell the truth?" Ge Dongxu said with a look of grievance.

"You rascal! Have your lips been sweetened now? I'm already in my thirties, still a flower? Flower my foot!" Wu Yili said, kicking him again under the table, her emotions, however, indescribably complex.

As a woman, Wu Yili certainly liked being praised by Ge Dongxu for her beauty, but her age was indeed what it was, which made her feelings all the more inexplicably complex.

"You see, you still don't believe me!" Ge Dongxu feigned anger and pulled a face, then called over a waitress who was passing by them.

"Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" Ge Dongxu smiled as he spoke to the waitress.

"Of course," replied the waitress, a very pretty young woman.

"How old do you think my friend here is?" Ge Dongxu asked.

"Ah!" The young woman was momentarily stunned, then quickly replied, "This beautiful lady, barely twenty-four or twenty-five, I guess!"

"There, see? I wasn't lying! Twenty-something, truly a blooming age," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Ge Dongxu, what silly nonsense is this?" Wu Yili's face turned red, and she glared at him.

"Actually, an older woman, younger man relationship is quite common nowadays, and besides, you're so beautiful, have a great figure and nice skin, being just a couple of years older than this gentleman means nothing," the waitress, skilled in her hospitality speech, immediately said with a smile upon seeing Wu Yili's embarrassed and annoyed look.

After saying this, the waitress walked away with a cheerful smile, while Ge Dongxu was suddenly taken aback.

He just wanted to prove that Wu Yili was still young, but didn't expect the waitress's rich imagination to turn it into a talk about them having a May-December romance, which was rather making things worse.

Wu Yili hadn't expected the waitress to say that either, her cheeks heating up for no reason, her heartbeat inexplicably quickening.

A faint air of romantic ambiguity began to ripple between the two.

"Just a couple years older, do I look that old? I'm not even twenty yet!" Finally, after a while, Ge Dongxu pretended to be confused and said dejectedly.

"Pfft!" Wu Yili couldn't restrain her laughter seeing Ge Dongxu with such a dejected face.

"This is all your own doing! We'll see if you dare to act recklessly next time!" Wu Yili said, pursing her lips while giving Ge Dongxu a look.

With that disturbance, the atmosphere between the two returned to normal.

Soon, the waiter brought over the wine and dishes.

After pouring red wine, they raised their glasses and gently clinked them.

Wu Yili sipped elegantly and then asked, "Didn't you say last time you would prepare a jar of Medicinal Wine for me? It's been almost half a year, and you still haven't brought it to me."

"You were worried about side effects last time," Ge Dongxu said.

"That was then, this is now! Anyway, after the new year when classes begin, you must give me a jar of Medicinal Wine," Wu Yili, remembering her previous doubts about Ge Dongxu's Medicinal Wine, blushed slightly as she spoke.

"Professor Wu, you're openly soliciting bribes from a student!" Ge Dongxu joked.

"Oh, Ge Dongxu, you're getting bold now, aren't you?" Wu Yili glared at him.

"I wouldn't dare, it's a gift for you!" Ge Dongxu replied with a slight smile, his hand suddenly holding a heart-shaped jade pendant that seemed dripping with green.

Wu Yili's expression froze, and tears unknowingly filled her eyes.

Initially, when she saw the water drop jade pendant around Tang Yahui's neck, she had wanted one too. Later, when she found out Ge Dongxu had given it to Tang Yahui, her feelings were indescribable and she thought about asking Ge Dongxu to carve one for her, but ultimately she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Yet unexpectedly, she didn't have to say anything, as Ge Dongxu had already specially carved one for her.

"Why would you give me such a precious gift? Why be so good to me?" Remembering the past events, thinking of the whitening hair on Ge Dongxu's head, and now this heart-shaped jade pendant, Wu Yili's tears finally began to fall.

"No special reason, I just thought that with the new year coming, I should give you a gift, so I carved this jade pendant!" Ge Dongxu watched the crystal-clear tears falling from Wu Yili's eyes, echoes of her questions ringing in his ears, and feeling complex as he thought about how he had instinctively carved the heart-shaped pendant the night before.

"It seems you already have plans for the Millennium Night, so you decided to give me a New Year's gift in advance!" Women are always more sensitive in certain aspects, Wu Yili's heart fluttered as she spoke.

Ge Dongxu nodded.

"Now that you have a girlfriend, next time it wouldn't be appropriate to casually give someone else a heart-shaped jade pendant. Otherwise, your girlfriend might get jealous!" Wu Yili said as she brushed her hair.

"If you don't like the shape, I can carve a new one for you," Ge Dongxu said.

"Who said I don't like it! Help me put it on," Wu Yili glanced at Ge Dongxu with mixed emotions.

Ge Dongxu silently stood up, walked behind Wu Yili, and then placed the heart-shaped jade pendant around her swan-like graceful neck.

"Drop a drop of blood on the jade pendant when you get home, you'll find it undergoes a marvelous change," Ge Dongxu said.

"Mm," Wu Yili nodded and did not inquire further.

Dinner was soon over.

Afterwards, they drove back to school.

Back home, Wu Yili immediately pricked her finger with a needle, then squeezed a drop of blood onto the heart-shaped jade pendant.

As her blood seeped into the jade pendant and disappeared, Wu Yili incredulously watched. She then felt a mysterious connection being established between herself and the jade pendant, as if they were linked by flesh and blood.

That night, Wu Yili clutched the jade pendant tightly to her chest, and was unable to sleep.
