"I think your views on marriage really suit my taste!" She might have felt that this could be easily misunderstood, so she hurriedly corrected. "Ahem! I mean your views on marriage and romance aren’t outdated at all."
Li Jingsheng looked at her with a smile.
The more she tried to explain, the worse it got.
Under his gaze, a blush quietly appeared on her delicate cheeks.
Always suppressed by her aura, with yin prevailing over yang, at this moment, Li Jingsheng had something of a small victory.
At the very least, he had at least slightly dampened her arrogance.
Her off-the-cuff remark caused a subtle ripple.
After all, they were both single, seemed to get along well, and it was easy for him to misunderstand her as being interested in him.
Li Jingsheng naturally knew it was merely a slip of the tongue.
But he was happy to see her a bit embarrassed.
After all, from the moment she greeted him, Li Jingsheng had been flustered, showing unusual nervousness and awkwardness, with her dominating the interaction.
At this moment, he realized that not only do men act strangely in front of outstanding and beautiful girls.
Even girls can have moments of nervousness and shyness in front of men.
Seeing her face getting redder, with her eyes evasive, he knew he couldn’t watch this scene unfold any longer.
He needed to quickly step in to help her out.
Otherwise, she might just say goodbye and leave.
"What are your views on marriage and romance? I’ve heard that beautiful girls don’t lack male companions."
He casually helped her out.
"Pah!"
She fiercely rolled her eyes at Li Jingsheng.
"What kind of logic is that? It’s true that beautiful girls don’t lack suitors, but that doesn’t mean they sleep around, okay? I’ve only been in one relationship my entire life..."
Perhaps realizing she revealed her dating history in haste, she quickly stopped talking.
Li Jingsheng chuckled inwardly; now the topic and the atmosphere seemed to be under his control.
"Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I didn’t mean to discriminate against you or any other beautiful girls. I just simply think that humans are visual creatures, and it’s easier for attractive girls or handsome guys to find partners."
Upon hearing Li Jingsheng’s explanation, she also realized she had overreacted a bit.
Her expression softened considerably.
"When you find a partner, is appearance your priority?"
She picked up her cup and took a light sip.
Her bright eyes fixed on Li Jingsheng, waiting for his reply.
"Ghost Valley Master once said, to judge a form by its appearance is like viewing a leopard through a tube. When I look for a partner, of course, she has to suit my eyes first, but she doesn’t have to be extremely beautiful, as long as she’s kind and responsible, that’s better than anything. Haha... don’t make fun of me, with my conditions, in this era where there are more men than women, I actually don’t even have the qualifications to be choosy."
After hearing Li Jingsheng’s answer, her gaze turned gentle.
Her face showed a slight mysterious smile, "You do have a sense of self-awareness! But I think your conditions aren’t bad at all; at least I think you are righteous, kind, and motivated. You wanted to know my views on marriage and romance, right? I admire the heavens..."
It was apparent that she was quite satisfied with Li Jingsheng’s answer.
Just as she was about to discuss her views on marriage, two customers walked in.
She immediately stopped talking.
A thirty-four or thirty-five-year-old woman with a six or seven-year-old boy came in.
The boy had a strap tied to his left forearm, and his left hand was bloody and raw.
"Doctor, my son hurt his hand while cutting fruit. Can you treat it here?"
"Let me take a look!"
Li Jingsheng was invigorated; a big case had arrived!
Stitching wounds might be a common small surgery at a big hospital, but at Li Jingsheng’s small clinic, it was a rare event, possibly not even once a month.
