Chapter 36: The Beautiful Woman's Sense of Defeat

  Liu Liting was also curious about what kind of boy would make her grandfather, who usually opposed her from being in contact with boys and always complained that good boys were hard to find, take the initiative to introduce him.

  Anyway, this time she took a week off from school and was determined to get to know the young man who had been praised by both old men. She really didn't believe that there could be a boy who could resist her charm!

  Just as Liu Liting arrived at the nursing home, Han Ankang had been busy for the past few days, clearing up bullet casings for Zhao Hu and treating illnesses for the elderly men in the nursing home. Today was no exception, with an added task of finding time to look through a large stack of medical records handed over by the director of the nursing home, which were supposedly sent by "leaders". From these records, he would select a few cases that weren't too difficult and use them as a way to give those "old leaders" some reassurance.

  Just like in South Korea, Han Ankang put aside those obvious terminal illnesses that could not be cured with modern medical technology. He can understand the eagerness of these patients to seek medical treatment, but he will not treat such unrealistic terminal illnesses for now.

  Cleaning up the mess he made is causing a stir in the whole city. If he's cured of his terminal illness, will he be allowed to live a normal life?

  Han Ankang, who already understood the principle of "people fear fame and pigs fear strength", would naturally not make that mistake. Moreover, he really didn't have much confidence in treating these mostly terminal cancer patients. What's the point of worrying about them?

  Just as Han An-kang was immersed in the medical records, categorizing them according to their conditions, he suddenly heard a clear voice coming from beside him.

  "Dr. Han, hello! I'm not disturbing your work, am I?"

  Hearing the sound, Han Ankang looked up towards where the sound came from. His first impression was that she was a beautiful girl. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, her delicate face and nearly 1.7 meters tall figure, plus the white dress that many boys liked, made him feel like he would give her over 90 points if his best friend were here.

  In Lee Zongwei's beauty rating, this can be considered a top-notch beauty. However, Han Ankang just thought that the girl in front of him with a sweet smile looked a bit stunning. Apart from that, he didn't have any other thoughts. On the contrary, he was still somewhat annoyed when others disturbed his work.

  Fortunately, he knew to give some face when facing a beauty, so Han Ankang didn't even stand up and calmly said: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

  Uh! From the boy's gaze at her, it was always calm and peaceful, but Liu Liting suddenly felt she had gone crazy. She changed into a self-feeling outfit that would make any man dizzy with surprise. After asking several guards who were staring at her and couldn't move, she finally found Han Ankang sitting in the garden, engrossed in a pile of documents.

  When she first came over, she thought it was a bit undignified to take the initiative to speak up, so she just waited for Han Ankang to look up and glance at her. When he saw her, he would even actively ask for her name or phone number.

  After waiting for half a day, she found that this boy who looked very patient and quiet from start to finish had not taken his eyes off the stack of medical records. He finally couldn't help but break the silence with these words, which almost made her choke on them.

  Fortunately, she is also a girl from a big family, and her temperament is naturally not bad. She continued to use the sweet smile that was rated as "most lethal" by the film academy boys: "Nothing, just came over to say thank you. I am Liu Li Ting, the granddaughter of Liu Gang. This time, during the school holidays, I came to see my grandfather and learned that you cured his old cold legs. I specially came to thank Dr. Han. If there is any disturbance, I hope Dr. Han will forgive me."

  When he heard that they had come to thank him, Han Ankang smiled slightly and said: "Miss Liu is too polite, as a doctor, it's my duty to help patients solve their illnesses, no need to be so polite. Besides, Mr. Liu's old cold legs, after I treated them, the possibility of relapse is not great, but usually also pay attention to nursing, do not get frostbite or often contact with cold water. As long as you strengthen your usual nursing a bit, I think this disease will not happen again in the future!"

  Miss! Hearing this title, Liu Liting almost sprayed Han Ankang's face. But think about it, she was an unmarried young girl. If not 'miss', should she be called 'madam' or 'lady'?

  "I really don't want to be associated with this easily misunderstood title," Liu Liting's expression changed as she said somewhat awkwardly, "Dr. Han, from now on, just call me Liting or Little Ting. This 'Ms. Liu' title is a bit..."

  This remark really stunned Han Ankang for a moment, but soon he also came to his senses. In this era, the title of "Miss" in Huaxia had some subtle implications.

  "After that, he said with some embarrassment: 'Liu Xiao, ah! Liting, I didn't mean it that way. I just think that at your current age, other forms of address aren't quite right. If I've caused you any misunderstanding, I can apologize to you!'"

  Liu Liting, who had a fake smile on her face, saw Han Ankang fall for it and didn't feel much excitement in her heart. Because she thought that someone like Han Ankang, who was so naive and pure, almost to the point of being unaffected by worldly desires, would make her feel guilty if she were to toy with him!

  He quickly changed his expression and smiled, saying: "It's okay, I didn't misunderstand Dr. Han's meaning. By the way, my grandfather told me that your medical skills are very impressive. Can you tell me where you learned them?"

  Is this the bottom?

  Han Ankang calmly said, "What's unspeakable about this? I'm just standing on the shoulders of my predecessors to achieve today's results. As for being awesome, with my current medical skills, it's really not worth mentioning."

  Isn't this just as good as saying nothing?

  Liu Liting, equally intelligent, immediately realized she had asked an inappropriate question. These days doctors all like to keep their own secrets, asking someone such a private question is indeed somewhat improper.

  Just as she was about to ask something else, Han Ankang picked up the medical records on the table again and smiled: "Liting, if there's nothing else, I still have a lot of medical records to look at. Maybe I don't have time to chat with you for now, but thank you for your thanks. When I have time, I'll go check on old man again.

  "Also, when you have time, after I've finished dealing with the things on my hands, I'll teach you a set of massage techniques for old grandpa. In the future, if Liu Lao feels uncomfortable in his legs, you can also help him relieve the pain by massaging him. Sorry, but I really have something else to attend to, so I won't see you off!"

  Come on! Just because I asked a wrong question, is it necessary to drive me away?

  Liu Liting, who felt extremely dissatisfied in her heart, saw the boy in front of her bury his head in the medical records again, completely ignoring the beautiful woman standing in front of him. This unprecedented sense of frustration made Liu Liting determined for the first time to hook up with this boy and then dump him. Only by doing so could she vent out the frustration in her heart!

  Liu Liting really didn't know what to say when she encountered such an unromantic boy. If it were another boy who dared to treat her like this, with her temper, she would have blown up long ago. But facing this boy who was used to suppressing her pride, she really didn't dare to show off her spoiled princess temperament.

  After all, she was very clear that in this nursing home now, she was no longer the most favored person. The one most loved by those old generals had become a boy who had been living here for less than a week.

  This little dog ran into a hedgehog, unable to open its mouth, and Liu Liting discovered the other person, with a serious expression, flipping through the medical records, occasionally pulling out a pen to record something on the medical records, completely ignoring her, this beautiful woman who was loved by everyone, as if she had been thrown aside. It really made her feel a bit suffocated!

  Although she was a bit angry in her heart, the family education made Liu Liting, who had been trained to be happy and angry without showing it, originally wanted to scold "I don't care" and leave. But in the end, she still felt a little helpless and left Han Ankang's side, which seemed to blend with the garden.

  As she walked away from the garden, she couldn't help but turn back to look at Han Ankang's expressionless face, wondering if he was pretending or really didn't understand romance. It wasn't until she had walked out of the garden, turning back every three steps, that she realized this boy truly didn't care about anything else and was completely focused on those medical records.

  She felt a deep sense of defeat, thinking that she had lost to Liu Liting's stack of medical records. Was it because she wasn't beautiful enough? Or was that guy simply not interested in women, being a 'gay brother'?

  To make herself feel better, Liu Liting thought that this ordinary-looking Han Ankang must be a loser, or one of those guys who are cursed by girls to be unlucky in love. Otherwise, as the flower of the film academy, she would not have received such treatment from him. Is this what young people are like in the 21st century?

  As soon as Liu Liting returned to the yard with a dejected expression, she saw two old men who were not showing respect for their age, staring at her with big smiles and laughing loudly: "Haha, it seems our little Tingting has failed. Scholar, your 'beautiful woman plan' is going to be ruined! Haha! I said that young man was able to remain unmoved in the face of beauty, which is really rare!"

  Listening to Zhao Hu's loud laughter, Liu Liting inferred from his face that she had just met Han Ankang for the first time. She felt a bit helpless towards this old general who was good at calculating. Especially when she saw her own grandfather's face, seemingly feeling sorry for her failure with a regretful expression, Liu Liting gritted her teeth and said, "Han, I'm going to take you down!"

  Han Ankang, who was inexplicably remembered by the beauty, suddenly let out a sneeze while sitting in the garden and felt that the weather had changed quickly. Looking at it this way, it seemed like it would soon be time for snow to fall again!

  From start to finish, it seems that there is no image of Liu Liting in his mind. Because what's currently filling his mind are these piles and piles of medical records. If Liu Liting knew that she couldn't even leave an impression on Han Ankang, I reckon she would feel even more frustrated!
