Urban Super Medical Saint

When they sat down, the car seat noticeably sank, their thighs inadvertently brushing against each other, the enticing fragrance occasionally wafting into his nostrils. That sealed memory suddenly flooded his mind, causing Ge Dongxu to lose himself in fanciful thoughts.

It was the same for Wu Yili.

In a moment of urgency, that life-saving gesture was something she could never forget, never treat as just another memory.

Especially when she remembered him using his mouth to suck out the poison...

She had thought that incident would forever remain buried deep in her heart and that they might never cross paths again.

Because they were two people from utterly different worlds: one a poor boy from the mountains, the other a sea-turtled professor.

But as fate would have it, that poor boy from the mountains actually got admitted to Jiangnan University, and not just anywhere, but to her Faculty of Environmental and Resource Sciences, even becoming her student.

Yes, he is a student, and I am a teacher, I must not let my thoughts wander, absolutely not!

With this in mind, Wu Yili suddenly sat upright, doing her best to suppress the restlessness in her heart and the frivolous thoughts in her head, then turned to look at Ge Dongxu.

"I really didn't expect to see you turn into a fine young man after three years, nor did I expect you to end up at Jiangnan University. Back then, I thought you had stopped studying altogether," Wu Yili said, her smile carrying a "compassionate" tinge suitable for a teacher as she mused.

"Yes, I never dreamt I would see you again at the university," Ge Dongxu couldn't help but reflect as well.

"How have you been these years? With the development of Baiyun Mountain, life at home must be better than before, right?" Wu Yili asked, the image of Ge Dongxu wearing tattered clothes, his skin tanned and carrying a bamboo basket emerging in her mind, her eyes inadvertently showing a hint of affection.

"Very good! The lives of the people around Baiyun Mountain have improved a lot compared to before, although it's a pity that the forests have suffered quite a bit of damage," Ge Dongxu replied.

"To gain, you must be willing to give. Life is such, you can't expect perfection in everything, you can only strive toward it. It's the same with developing Baiyun Mountain, with the hope of preserving as much of its trees and flowers as possible. I still remember these words you said, and it's just something that can't be helped," Wu Yili said, her gaze turning nostalgic.

"Yes, gain comes from sacrifice!" Ge Dongxu nodded profoundly, reflecting on his choice to pursue the path of cultivation—a path of both gain and loss, unbeknownst to others.

"Pfft! Three years apart, and you still haven't lost that precociously solemn disposition, just like an old man weathered by many storms!" Wu Yili stared at Ge Dongxu's profound expression, paused, then suddenly couldn't help but chuckle, even casting him a playful look.

That look, coming from the usually dignified and intellectually beautiful Wu Yili, was indescribably alluring. It was a different kind of charm from that of a worldly woman, natural and unforced, emanating the innate sensuality of a woman, versus the vulgar and affected display.

Ge Dongxu's heart skipped a beat when Wu Yili gave him that look, and his face showed a trace of shyness.

"Giggle! That's more like it! You're only eighteen or nineteen years old. Being so somber doesn't suit you—it makes me uncomfortable," Wu Yili laughed when she saw his reaction.

With her laughter, the three years of unfamiliarity between them vanished without a trace, as if they were close friends who'd known each other for years.

As they spoke, the car stopped by Mingyue Lake.

Ge Dongxu was about to pay, but as he took out his wallet, Wu Yili gently tapped the back of his hand.

"With the teacher here, why are you acting all generous? Put your wallet away," Wu Yili glared at him, chidingly.

"Didn't you say to call you 'Sister Yili'?" Ge Dongxu murmured as he put his wallet away.

"Looking for a spanking, are you?" Wu Yili recalled the words she had said three years prior, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush as she glared at Ge Dongxu.

Ge Dongxu quickly got out of the car, not daring to talk back anymore. His comment about acting generous had slipped out subconsciously, and upon saying it, he realized it was not appropriate given their current relationship as teacher and student.

Seeing Ge Dongxu hastily exiting the car, with a sheepish look that dared not retort, Wu Yili remembered how confident and calm he had been when he saved her life. She couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing and even felt a slight sense of pride.

Now, she was a teacher, and he was her student!

"Teacher Wu, where to now?" After Wu Yili paid and got out of the car, Ge Dongxu asked obediently.

"Let's just walk around," Wu Yili said.

"Okay," Ge Dongxu nodded and then followed her at a respectful distance.

"What are you doing? Do I look like a tiger to you?" Wu Yili turned around and glared at him when she noticed him following behind, looking very womanly with her glare, even speaking with a hint of coquettishness, a far cry from the composed dignity of a teacher.

Wu Yili herself had also noticed that ever since she got into the car with Ge Dongxu, her behavior had unconsciously strayed from the composed dignity of a teacher, often inadvertently revealing a womanly charm, forgetting their respective roles.

One is the teacher, and the other is the student.

"Of course not, how could Teacher Wu be a tiger!" Ge Dongxu quickly stepped forward, chuckling as an appeasement.

He actually wouldn't mind walking beside Wu Yili, but being so close meant the inviting fragrance from her would keep distracting him.

However, now that she was his teacher and he her student, Ge Dongxu felt that such distractions were inappropriate, so he intentionally lagged a step or two behind to keep a little distance between them.
