Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 299 - 298: The Eastern Wizard
"Not at all! I’m leaving now, you can sleep a bit longer," Ge Dongxu said softly.
"You’re so sweet and loving, how can I sleep now! Wait for me, I’ll see you off," Liu Jiayao said as she got up.
... Your next journey awaits at novelbuddy
It was still first class and a window seat.
Ge Dongxu sat calmly by the window, his thoughts already flying to the capital. Considering his previous two trips to the capital had been in the harsh winter, he hadn’t really experienced its scenery; this time he looked forward to walking around and also checking out the newly opened chain hotel owned by Kun Ting.
Lost in his thoughts, Ge Dongxu smelled a pleasant, heart-stirring perfume, prompting him to look up.
What he saw made his eyes light up.
A blonde Western girl with a suitcase had stopped right by his seat.
She wore a white tank dress with a Huaxia Country landscape print, which alone, with her sensual figure, was enough to captivate countless men, not to mention her alluring face and deep blue, exotic soul-catching eyes.
In almost an instant, Ge Dongxu noticed that all male passengers in first class had their eyes on the blonde, even two old men with graying hair were no exception.
You’re only as old as you feel!
However, Ge Dongx caught only a glimpse before turning away and naturally standing up, saying, "Let me help you with that."
"Thank you!" the blonde replied in Chinese, her pronunciation quite accurate.
"Your Chinese is quite good," Ge Dongxu complimented with a smile.
"Only, only a little, so-so," the blonde replied in not-so-fluent Chinese, giving Ge Dongxu a flirtatious smile as she extended her hand, "Nico, nice to meet you."
"Ge Dongxu, nice to meet you too," Ge Dongxu replied, slightly startled, then he also extended his hand and gently shook hers.
This was his first encounter with a foreigner, and a beautiful, sexy foreign woman at that.
"Ge, are you from the capital?" Nico asked, settling into her seat.
"No, I’m from Jiangnan Province," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Then, too bad, I could have asked you for recommendations on fun places in the capital," Nico said.
"So you’re planning to visit the capital on this trip?" Ge Dongxu noted, finding it amusing when Nico mixed up ’originally’ with ’could have,’ but didn’t point it out. For a Western girl, her level of Chinese was impressive enough.
"What did you say?" Nico asked, clearly having difficulty understanding Mandarin.
Seeing that Nico didn’t understand, Ge Dongxu tried to speak in English.
His English grades were average, fitting somewhere above the middle level, but that was in terms of academic ability. His listening and speaking skills were actually quite good, even better than the top English students in his class.
"Yeah, your English is good!" Nico said, surprisingly glancing at Ge Dongxu.
"It’s passable," Ge Dongxu replied modestly with a smile.
The two then conversed a bit more, sometimes in English and sometimes in Chinese, and soon developed a mutual understanding, politely exchanging smiles. Nico picked up a fashion magazine to read, while Ge Dongxu turned to look outside the window, continuing with his thoughts.
While he was thinking, a middle-aged woman with graying hair and a suitcase came in. To Ge Dongxu’s surprise, no men offered her help, but Nico, sitting by the aisle, immediately stood up and helped the woman put her suitcase in the overhead compartment.
This small incident didn’t seem like much, but it made Ge Dongxu think more highly of the Western girl next to him.
The flight from Linzhou to the capital took about three hours, during which they chatted some more.
When they talked, they developed an interesting understanding: Ge Dongxu spoke English, while Nico spoke Chinese.
This way, they both had the opportunity to practice speaking.
"I really like Huaxia Country. It has a long history, hard-working and kind people, and an astonishing variety of food," Nico said.
"Then you need to be careful, as delicious food is the natural enemy of beautiful women," Ge Dongxu said.
"Thank you for the compliment, don’t worry, next time we meet, I’m sure I’ll still be beautiful—I have a secret for keeping in shape," Nico said, unashamedly immodest.
They talked intermittently throughout the flight and it was quite pleasant.
Nico found herself liking Ge Dongxu, this Huaxia man, not just because he was good-looking and radiated an attractive charisma, but also because his demeanor around her was always calmly indifferent and not like other men who occasionally revealed lecherous expressions.
However, as the plane neared the capital, Ge Dongxu’s brow furrowed slightly.
For he noticed that Nico, who had previously looked radiant, suddenly seemed a bit gloomy, and a tiny blood vessel on her nose became more visible.
"Nico, do you know that in Huaxia Country there is a ’spell’ called fortune telling by face reading?" Ge Dongxu hesitated, then said.
"I know, it’s like our Western astrology or tarot," Nico’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she examined Ge Dongxu.
"A bit. I see from your face that you might encounter some troubles during this trip to the capital, so I suggest you leave the capital as soon as possible, ideally right after disembarking," Ge Dongxu said seriously.
Nico stared blankly at Ge Dongxu for a while, then suddenly covered her mouth and giggled.
Seeing Nico’s reaction, Ge Dongxu knew she definitely didn’t believe him. Since the plane was already landing, it wasn’t convenient to persuade her further. Hesitating briefly, he took out a piece of paper, wrote down his phone number, and said, "This is my phone number. If something really happens, you can call me."
"Are you trying to woo me, Eastern wizard?" Nico took the paper from Ge Dongxu, smiling playfully at him.
