Chapter 607 — Getting Close to Guan Xin
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Kang Zhaoming had been in Songshan City for four days. He had come bearing a weighty mission from his family, which was to win over Guan Xin! He meant to start with Guan Xin and thereby learn the formula for the longevity detox pill in Guan Xuemin's hands! Of course, he did not believe Guan Xuemin had invented the formula. In his view, Guan Xuemin, like his own grandfather Divine Doctor Kang, had by chance met some master and gotten the formula from another man's hands.
He was a practiced hand with women, and naturally would not rush straight to the hospital with flowers to declare his love. That would be too trite, and he did not think Guan Xin would accept. According to his inquiries, Guan Xin had never had a boyfriend. To act that way would only frighten her.
So Kang Zhaoming meant to stage a chance meeting, to run into Guan Xin in a suitable setting as if by accident, and thus make her acquaintance! That would also lower her guard!
Yet the chance proved hard to find. Kang Zhaoming had staked out Guan Xin's door for four days without finding any opening! Guan Xuemin's address had been easy to learn, and Kang Zhaoming had found it with little effort, and waiting nearby he did see Guan Xin every day, but he could hardly walk straight up and accost her.
She would surely take him for a lecher, which was not what Kang Zhaoming wanted to see.
Guan Xin rode the hospital shuttle to and from work every day, regular as clockwork, which left Kang Zhaoming no opening! If she took the bus or a taxi, he could still find a chance to contrive a meeting, but the shuttle was for hospital staff, and he could not board it at all!
This left Kang Zhaoming deeply frustrated. He called himself a saint of the flowers. When had he ever waited four days without even approaching his mark? Just as his patience wore thin, Guan Xin finally went out! It was Saturday, her day off, and leaving the villa she took the bus straight to the Xuehai Bookstore!
Kang Zhaoming sensed his chance had come, so he quickly hailed a taxi and followed her all the way to the Xuehai Bookstore. Seeing her head for the medical section, he began to ponder how to strike up a conversation.
Guan Xin naturally noticed no one following her. After all, she was no student of criminal investigation, and could not have known Kang Zhaoming was already close by.
Guan Xin had come to the bookstore today to buy books for the assistant physician examination in integrated Chinese and Western medicine. In school, though her major had been nursing, she had also studied integrated Chinese-Western medicine. She had chosen it then because her grandfather was a distinguished practitioner of Chinese medicine, and unwilling to disappoint the old man, she had taken a Chinese-medicine-related field as her second major.
But after graduation, Guan Xin still felt Chinese medicine did not suit her, so she became a nurse. Though Guan Xuemin was disappointed, he said little. After all, Guan Xin was a girl, and Guan Xuemin had placed no great hopes on her.
