Chapter 180: 149 [Crispy Heart Candy] Too sweet, and sweet without being greasy (1 more update)_1

Along the way, Sun Qing and Bai Dingkai chatted and laughed together. Initially, she wanted to join Tang Su in calling him "Bai Second Brother," a nickname given by his godmother, Zhao Xinlan—that’s what Sun Qing did too.

Regarding this nickname, Bai Dingkai himself, Tang Su, and Lu Han had no objections. In contrast, Bai Dingxian mockingly criticized Sun Qing, asking if she was trying to become Lu Han’s mistress?

He also said something about how such women heralded from a bygone era.

As soon as he spoke, the several people present felt quite awkward, leaving Lu Han and Bai Dingkai at a loss for words.

Tang Su was even more baffled, not understanding why Bai Dingxian would say that to Sun Qing.

In the end, Sun Qing found a way to gracefully exit the awkward situation, agreeing that Doctor Bai’s words were indeed correct and could easily lead to misunderstandings, admitting that she had no right to call someone "Bai Second Brother."

That privilege belonged to the Bai Family.

Tang Su could call him that because she had a relationship with Lu Han.

No wonder Bai Dingxian said that, but did he really have to remind her in such a snide manner?

Nobody’s perfect, right? Even the most capable people can’t guarantee they won’t make any mistakes in their lifetime, can they?

Later on, Sun Qing called him "Kai Brother," and Bai Dingkai gladly accepted.

At the time, Bai Dingkai also gave Bai Dingxian a look, thinking how he had become so inflexible after years of practicing medicine.

He was never like this before.

Bai Dingkai was also perplexed but thankful that the young lady was magnanimous and didn’t take offense.

Afterward, Bai Dingxian again refused to get in Sun Qing’s car, marking the second public display of his dislike and rejection of her, which led to Sun Qing’s previous question.

However, Bai Dingxian didn’t answer and got into the car anyway, so Bai Dingkai deliberately steered the conversation toward Qi Jiu, a topic of Sun Qing’s interest. So, Sun Qing didn’t pursue the matter further.

"Let’s drop this awkward guy back at Huanan Hospital’s dormitory first, and then you’ll come with me to visit Lu Han’s place," Bai Dingkai said to Sun Qing.

"No need, Kai Brother. The two of us are on the way. Visiting Doctor Lu’s place, we’ll have to see Tang Bao’s opinion since they live across from each other."

"Hmm? They live across from each other?" Bai Dingkai was surprised. He would not have known this if Sun Qing hadn’t mentioned it.

Sun Qing: "..."

Is he that excited?

What’s wrong with living across from each other? Is it not allowed?

Bai Dingkai turned to look at Bai Dingxian, "Did you know about this?"

"I knew," Bai Dingxian said.

When he first found out, he wasn’t nearly as animated as his brother. Why was he making such a big deal about it?

Besides, what was there to be so excited about anyways?

"Then why didn’t you tell me sooner?"

"I thought you knew," Bai Dingxian said, feeling wronged.

Bai Dingkai: "..."

He didn’t know, and he suspected his brother was deliberately messing with him.

Seeing the brothers staring at each other in silence, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became awkward. Sun Qing coughed twice, trying to ease the tension.

"Then, maybe Doctor Bai would like to join us at Doctor Lu’s place?" Sun Qing suggested.

"No need. I’ve had my fill of male dormitories since my university days," Bai Dingxian declined.

"Oh."

Sun Qing didn’t press further or say much else, but she silently labeled Bai Dingxian as someone with a "cleanliness fetish."

The image of untidy male dormitories should belong to the past. Nowadays, the photos of male dormitories online are not that bad. When men are keen on cleanliness, they can tidy up even better than women.

On the other hand, some of the girls’ dorms in the videos are comparable to trash sites, with no place to even step foot, and yet, they still manage to sleep soundly.

It’s quite an eye-opener. Sun Qing figured it was probably people trying to attract views with their videos.

Of course, there are girls who don’t like to clean up, but it probably isn’t as exaggerated as it is in the video.

Sun Qing didn’t insist, but Bai Dingkai caught a hold of something he could use against his cousin, and said gleefully, "In a bit, I’ll tell Lu Han that you think he’s a slob."

Bai Dingxian: "..."

He was older than all of them, so why was he so much more immature than both Lu Han and himself?

Indeed, men who were into the arts were unfathomable; their thought processes were abnormal.

Bai Dingxian truly didn’t understand how Bai Dingkai managed to have two faces: one for the Bai Family, one for the outside world, and another set for when he was in front of them versus strangers.

The key was that these two faces were opposing one another, one mature and steady, the other childish and talkative.

Huh, if he wasn’t a capital magnate but instead had chosen to be an investor in a film crew and played the leading man, those so-called Best Actor Qi-whatevers probably couldn’t compete with him.

Sun Qing parked the car at the entrance of Huanan Hospital, and Bai Dingxian walked away without even thanking her, devoid of any manners.

Seeing their Bai Family’s behavior so ill-mannered in front of this young girl, lacking even the basic gentlemanly demeanor, Bai Dingkai felt it was a disgrace to their family’s men.

Bai Dingkai wanted to get out of the car and chase after him. The girl had taken the trouble to bring him back, shouldn’t he at least say thank you?

"No need, Kai. Let’s go," said Sun Qing with a smile.

In her heart, she was sure of one thing: Bai Dingxian truly detested her.

This was the first person in her life to show such aversion to her, and she would definitely take the opportunity to find out when she had offended him.

"Alright, I’ll deal with him properly next time."

**

Meanwhile, Lu Han was driving leisurely, taking Tang Su for a drive.

A trip that should’ve taken less than thirty minutes was stretched into an hour by Lu Han.

Tang Su was not in a hurry to return either, after all, once she went back home tonight, she wouldn’t have this private world just for the two of them.

Tang Su had also noticed something off about Bai Dingxian that evening.

Lu Han, of course, had noticed it too.

"Doctor Bai..."

"Sun Qing..."

Both started speaking at the same time and then exchanged smiles.

"You first," Lu Han followed the ’ladies first’ rule, letting Tang Su speak first.

Since it was her own boyfriend, Tang Su didn’t bother playing the courteous back-and-forth with Lu Han.

"Doctor Bai seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Sun Qing."

"Hmm, has Sun Qing ever told you that she knew him in the past?" Lu Han had noticed it too, but he was just as perplexed, not understanding what was going on with the guy.

Tang Su shook her head, "After Sun Qing moved away from Hua City with her grandfather, I don’t know, but before that, they shouldn’t have known each other at all."

"Then I’ll find time to ask that kid."

"That would be great. Thank you on behalf of Qingqing, Doctor Lu," she said.

"Don’t be so formal."

Later, under Tang Su’s urging, Lu Han drove back to Tingzhu Building.

When Tang Su was about to get out of the car, Lu Han reached out and pulled her close and, in the moment the car lights dimmed, Lu Han’s soft lips pressed against hers...

Tang Su did not refuse, she closed her eyes, accepting his lingering kisses.

The girl in his arms was too well-behaved. Lu Han had originally planned to make the kiss short and then head upstairs, especially since there were two unwelcome guests waiting for them.

But "Tang Bao" was too sweet, enticing without being cloying, and as Tang Su’s grip on his clothes gradually tightened, Lu Han lost control.

Turning what was meant to be a light peck into a deep kiss...
