I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 290 - 128: Do You Know What "Unique" Means?
After returning to the rented apartment from the United South Chinese Medicine Association, Lu Xuan casually grabbed something to eat downstairs.
Back at the apartment, Lu Xuan didn't immediately prepare the application materials for the Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award. The stuff is all in his head anyway; typing it out won't take long.
Instead, he chose to pack his things. He'd already packed a batch on Friday night, so tonight he'll pack another batch, and tomorrow he can just call a truck to come over.
However, after packing his things, Lu Xuan still sent a location to Ji Xiuwen, telling him to drink less tonight and come over early to help him move the next day.
Free labor shouldn't be wasted.
Ji Xiuwen's response speed was quite fast. Lu Xuan had just sent the message when he immediately replied.
"Got it, godfather."
"How about I squeeze over to your place tonight? It'll save time, and I can help you tidy up in the evening."
Lu Xuan sternly rejected Ji Xiuwen's suggestion to squeeze over: "No need. By the time you finish dinner and leave the KTV, I'd be asleep already."
"That's true. Alright then, I'll head over in the morning."
"By the way, hasn't Gu Huahua contacted you?"
"Old Cai seemed to invite him to bring you along. Everyone's waiting for you here, the food hasn't even been served yet, and I'm starving."
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "He did, but I had something to do and came back."
"Damn, you should've said so earlier. This group won't start serving the food until you arrive. Why is the difference between people so vast? Now everyone knows about your situation, but you have no idea. Sigh, everyone's going crazy for a chance to get in your good graces now."
"This gathering opportunity was hard to come by, so of course, they'd wait for you to join."
"Who would've thought you'd stand everyone up? I kind of guessed you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect everyone else would be willing to wait for you with empty stomachs."
"If I go, the whole meaning of the gathering changes."
"That's true.'
Ji Xiuwen rapidly typed, glancing up at Mi Nannan, who was not far and playing on his phone: "And, let me tell you something, Mi Nannan came, and he came specifically for you. He was very enthusiastic, always asking about you, but after hearing what Gu Huahua said in the group chat, he suddenly seemed like a different person.
I think, maybe you've become so exceptional that he doesn't dare to get close?
If that's the case, tsk tsk, that's interesting. The once proud beauty who wouldn't give others a second glance is now too intimidated by your excellence to approach. That's something I didn't expect.
Still, you're lucky with women. First, there's Su Kenan, the greatest beauty of Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and now there's Mi Nannan. It seems outstanding people really do attract beauties willing to throw themselves at them." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"Worrying about unnecessary things, you'd be better off spending time thinking about what you learned this week, so you're not clueless next time you encounter the same condition."
"Damn, that's a low blow, godfather, you've crossed the line a bit."
"Come over early tomorrow."
Lu Xuan couldn't be bothered with him, casually tossed his phone aside, went to the simple desk, and opened his laptop, starting to prepare the application materials for the Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award.
...
On the other side.
Ji Xiuwen had just finished chatting with Lu Xuan when Gu Huahua burst in, panting, obviously having run over.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
Gu Huahua took a deep breath and looked apologetically at everyone.
As soon as he entered, he drew everyone's attention.
Cai Huanjin and the others rose, looking toward the door, disappointed not to see Lu Xuan.
"Gu Huahua, didn't Lu Xuan come?"
Cai Huanjin couldn't help but ask.
Gu Huahua's eyes clearly showed a hint of disappointment. Originally, he should have been the protagonist today, but with Lu Xuan's sudden prominence, he too became a small, transparent figure, just like everyone else.
Everyone's focus was on Lu Xuan.
Even though Lu Xuan didn't come.
Gu Huahua instinctively glanced at the round table; besides the cold dishes, none of the hot dishes had been served, obviously waiting for Lu Xuan.
And he was just an incidental.
If they hadn't thought there was a slight chance Lu Xuan might come, they clearly wouldn't have gone hungry waiting for him.
Although he felt it was normal, Gu Huahua still felt a bit down.
Especially Cai Huanjin, who before learning about Lu Xuan's achievements, was the most enthusiastic toward him in the group. Now, the enthusiasm had cooled dramatically.
However, Gu Huahua didn't dwell on it, as he was the one who told the group about Lu Xuan's story, knowing that once everyone found out about Lu Xuan, their attention would likely turn to him.
"He didn't come."
Gu Huahua shook his head and sighed, "Lu Xuan said he had something to do tonight and couldn't make it, but he promised to treat everyone to a meal next time."
"He didn't come..."
Even though he had guessed that Lu Xuan wouldn't come, Cai Huanjin couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. He really hoped Lu Xuan would come, not to suck up to him, but to take this opportunity to build a good relationship, as he might need to ask for a favor in the future.
But now, with Lu Xuan not coming, such a good opportunity was missed.
As for next time, who knows when that will be?
Inviting Lu Xuan to a private meal would be too obvious.
