The Young Urban Doctor-Chapter 594 - Yang Qingyin’s Encouragement
Chapter 594: Chapter 594 Yang Qingyin’s Encouragement
The two met at a Chinese restaurant about four or five kilometers from the school.
When Luo Ziling arrived, Yang Qingyin had already ordered the dishes and was sitting and drinking tea.

Today, Yang Qingyin dressed very simply, a green sweater and jeans, her hair pulled back into a simple ponytail, inexplicably pure and pretty.
After Luo Ziling sat down, he jokingly said, “Wow, you’re dressed up nicely. Are you trying to seduce me on purpose again?”
“You’re still in the mood to say such things, which means you’re not feeling nervous,” Yang Qingyin said with a smile, shooting Luo Ziling a sideways glance, and added in exasperation: “It seems you don’t need anyone’s comfort.”
“Having my senior invite me to dinner is the biggest comfort,” Luo Ziling’s smile remained, “Seeing my senior’s beautiful face has erased all my unhappiness. To cheer me up, why don’t you smile more, senior? Your smile can definitely warm me up and make me feel less lonely and gloomy. Or else, how about dancing for me later? To make my mood even more beautiful.”
“So glib,” Yang Qingyin laughed radiantly, “I was really afraid you’d come to me with a long face, looking like you’re in utter despair.”
“Why would I be in despair if it’s not you who’s dumped me?”
Yang Qingyin’s face turned red all at once, and she glared at Luo Ziling resentfully, “Why would I dump you? You’re nothing to me, so what’s there to dump?”
At this point, the waiter brought in the dishes, and the two had to stop their conversation.
The dishes arrived quickly, mostly Luo Ziling’s favorite seafood, along with some vegetables. Seeing Yang Qingyin had ordered these dishes, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but praise, “You’re quite good at matching, looks like you’ve studied nutrition.”
“Let’s eat first. The food here should be tasty,” Yang Qingyin served Luo Ziling a big piece of lobster meat and then asked softly, “Can you tell me in detail what happened today?”
After she asked, she felt it was too abrupt and explained further, “I only want to help you analyze the situation.”
Luo Ziling readily agreed, explaining the day’s events at the Ling Family Old Mansion, including treating Ling Jinhua, his subsequent somewhat rash reproach of Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui, the altercation with the descendants of the Ling Family, and what followed. After sharing, he added, “I was still quite impulsive. I think the hardest one is my mom; I really don’t know what kind of trouble she’ll face when she returns to the old mansion.”
Yang Qingyin listened to Luo Ziling intently and, hearing his sentiment, comforted him with a smile, “I think you shouldn’t worry. At least Old Mr. Ling and your grandfather wouldn’t do anything excessive to your mom. Even if others want to harm her, as long as these two most important people of the Ling Family don’t intend to punish her, she will definitely be fine, at least for today. After today’s events, no one would dare to make a fuss anymore. Otherwise, Old Mr. Ling’s ninetieth birthday banquet would really become impossible to hold.”
Hearing Yang Qingyin say this, Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, “Alright then, I’ll take your word for it, and hopefully my mom will return safely tonight.”
“You acted very much like a man today,” Yang Qingyin said seriously, looking into Luo Ziling’s face. “The Ling Family wanted to insult you, and you recklessly argued with them, risking the possible loss of everything, to fight for your honor. I admire such actions, even if they seem rather rash and unreasonable.”
“Really?” Luo Ziling couldn’t believe that Yang Qingyin would praise him like this and was a bit surprised, his chopsticks suspending mid-air. “You don’t think I did the wrong thing?”
“Doing the wrong thing in a moment of impulse is not unforgivable, and you were driven to it today because you couldn’t bear any more,” Yang Qingyin said seriously. “At least I think, your actions today were very manly, and I admire such impulsiveness. Of course, the consequences of what you did have put your mother and yourself in a difficult position, and you might even lose everything. But that doesn’t stop me from admiring you; you’re a man with spirit, nothing like you usually are, all shy.”
Luo Ziling almost blushed at Yang Qingyin’s words, “Am I usually very shy?”
“Sometimes you are,” Yang Qingyin laughed, and then asked Luo Ziling, “Do you have any objections to my comments just now?”
“Pretty fair, I like to listen, and I also know I was impulsive and have caused a huge amount of trouble.” Luo Ziling sighed and then smiled again, asking Yang Qingyin, “If I’m really completely despised by the Ling Family and they chase me around the world, and you Yang Family people treat me the same way, and I end up with nowhere to go, only able to take refuge in a Northwest village to linger on, would you still consider me a friend?”
Yang Qingyin got angry instantly upon hearing this, “What do you mean by that?”
Luo Ziling was taken aback, surprised by Yang Qingyin’s sudden anger and a bit slow to react.
Seeing Luo Ziling stunned, Yang Qingyin angrily pinched him and said angrily, “What kind of person do you take me for? To actually ask me such a question. I’m a bit unwilling to deal with you.”
“Alright, my bad for asking,” Luo Ziling made a face, pulling his hand back to avoid giving Yang Qingyin another chance to become violent.
“Actually, the scenery in your Northwest villages is quite nice, living there must be rather special. Since you could stay there for twenty years, constantly praising its beauty, I think, continuing to live there would feel very nice,” Yang Qingyin’s face softened and her eyes grew tender. “After all, you promised to take me there to visit. If one day you’re forced to leave Yanjing and return to the village, then I’ll go with you to keep you company so you won’t be without someone to talk to. But you have to promise me, you’ll take me to see all the beautiful scenery around, and you’ll take me to Tianshan to dig for snow lotus, and to Bayanbulak to ride horses.”
Luo Ziling listened, his face broke into a broad grin, and after his smile faded, he nodded seriously, “I will definitely remember.”
“But I still hope that nothing like that happens, as one’s dreams and success are more achievable in a big city,” Yang Qingyin smiled sweetly at Luo Ziling, and then said seriously, “When you are young, you should strive a bit, to prove yourself. You and I are the same, while there’s still a chance to change the situation, we must fight properly. Perhaps a miracle will appear after the effort. Haven’t you always said that you don’t wish to exist by relying on the Ling Family, and that you wanted to build your own eminent household? ‘When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, harasses him by trouble and misfortune so as to stimulate his mind, harden his nature, and improve where he is incompetent.’… Well, I was just reciting it off the top of my head.”
After reciting this famous quote from Mencius, Yang Qingyin laughed happily, “At your age, you dare to challenge authority, and are not afraid of the Yang Family or the Ling Family’s threats, and have the courage to turn against them. I believe someone with such courage and confidence will surely achieve great success. It’s possible that one day the Luo Family could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Ling Family, the Yang Family, the Fang Family, and the Chen Family. Don’t get disheartened, I will stand by your side no matter what!”
“…” Seeing Yang Qingyin’s sincere expression, Luo Ziling didn’t know what to say.
