Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 752 - 751: I rarely joke
"Really?" Betty asked, tilting her head and gazing seriously at Ge Dongxu.
"Of course it's true," Ge Dongxu said, unable to help but laugh and cry at Betty's mischievously exaggerated expression.
"So, do you have any plans or dates today?" Betty asked.
"Not at the moment," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Then come out to sea with me. My cousin Cindy and her boyfriend Tom invited me and another couple. Everyone is paired up, and I'm the only single one, which is a bit awkward, so come and make up the numbers. By the way, show off some Huaxia Kung Fu, and let them get a taste," Betty said, her eyes sparkling.
"My English isn't very good, and since all of you are foreigners, it might not be appropriate for me, a Chinese, to join. Maybe we should forget it," Ge Dongxu said with a troubled look.
"It's okay, you have me, don't you? Going out to sea is really fun. Cindy's boyfriend Tom just bought a second-hand yacht recently, and it's supposed to be quite nice," Betty said enthusiastically.
Ge Dongxu still hesitated, finding it difficult when Betty grew unhappy and said, "Ge, refusing an invitation from a beautiful lady is very ungentlemanly."
Ge Dongxu wanted to say that he didn't want to be a gentleman, but remembering that it was truly rare for two people to reunite twice in a foreign land, and considering his impoliteness on the plane the day before yesterday due to his mood, he finally smiled and said, "For the beautiful lady, I will be a gentleman this time."
"Great, where are you staying? I'll drive over to pick you up around eight o'clock," Betty said, her face lighting up with a happy smile.
"I'm staying nearby. Are you still running? If you're not running, let's walk there together, and I'll show you," Ge Dongxu said.
"I'm about done, but it's still early. Let's walk around the lake a couple of times, and then stroll back slowly," Betty said.
"Okay, as the beautiful lady wishes," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"Ge, you're very gentlemanly now," Betty complimented, then pursed her lips and laughed.
Ge Dongxu just smiled.
"Ge, I heard from Nico that you are still a student at Jiangnan University. You didn't come to Melbourne with plans to study abroad, did you? If you really want to study abroad, I'd recommend the United States," Betty asked while they walked.
She was really curious about how Ge Dongxu, a university student, ended up in Melbourne alone.
"You're thinking too much. I came to Melbourne purely because a friend had an accident, and I rushed over. Actually, I hold many roles, not just a student. To tell you the truth, I am also a teacher at Jiangnan Province University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so you should address me as 'teacher,'" Ge Dongxu said with a laugh.
Betty was taken aback at his words then suddenly laughed out loud. After a while, she glanced at Ge Dongxu and said, "Professor Ge, you really love to joke!"
"I rarely joke," Ge Dongxu said.
Seeing the serious look on Ge Dongxu's face, Betty laughed even more joyfully.
Ge Dongxu, seeing this, just shook his head, too lazy to explain further.
Thus, early in the morning, Ge Dongxu strolled with a blonde woman in a foreign land.
Betty was a very cheerful and enthusiastic girl, and although her looks and figure were somewhat inferior to Nico's, Ge Dongxu found her company pleasant and relaxed because of her personality; there was never a need to worry about silences or awkward moments.
After walking around the lake twice, the two walked along the path back to the residential area.
"This is my friend's house," Ge Dongxu said, pointing when they arrived at the entrance of Ouyang Zesheng's mansion.
"This is one of the mansions in this residential area. I've passed by here several times, always wondering who the owner could be, never imagining it was your friend," Betty said in surprise.
"Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile.
"Thank you for your invitation, but I'm all sweaty, I need to go back and take a shower, so I won't come in," Betty politely declined.
"Okay, next time." Ge Dongxu nodded.
"See you in a bit." Betty waved at Ge Dongxu, then jogged back.
The buttocks wrapped in sport shorts looked youthful and sexy.
Ge Dongxu smiled and turned to enter the yard.
"You don't need to accompany me today; I've run into a friend here. I'll be going out to sea with her and a few other friends," Ge Dongxu said to Ouyang Murong and his son during breakfast.
"I was also planning to accompany Master Uncle out to the sea today, but since Master Uncle already has plans, I won't disturb you. Is a yacht suitable? I had arranged a catamaran here; if you need it, you can use mine," Ouyang Zesheng said.
"No need to trouble yourself, theirs will do," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
He wasn't fussy about these things.
"Alright, I'll prepare swimming trunks, a beach towel, and other things for your outing," Ouyang Zesheng said.
Ge Dongxu nodded.
He had arrived in a hurry this time and hadn't planned on going out to sea, so he hadn't brought these items.
After breakfast, Ouyang Zesheng went to prepare the sea outing items for Ge Dongxu, while Ouyang Murong kept Ge Dongxu company under the shade of a tree in the yard, sipping morning tea and chatting.
Although it was summer, the community's low housing density and abundant green vegetation made the breeze feel cool and refreshing, without a hint of mugginess.
While they were chatting, Ouyang Murong received a phone call.
The call was from Song Wenhong. After a brief conversation, Ouyang Murong covered the mouthpiece and respectfully asked Ge Dongxu, "Master Uncle, Song Wenhong and Lin Tian are here on behalf of the Melbourne Chinese Gangs to pay their respects. They have already arrived at the complex. Would you like to meet with them?"
"Since they are already here in the complex, we can't just avoid seeing them," Ge Dongxu frowned slightly, then nodded.
He was a farmer's son, now a student, a doctor, a university lecturer, and a consultant for a special government department, and he could say he had no interest in gangs whatsoever.
The only reason he was in contact with Song Wenhong and others this time was because of Ouyang Murong.
However, Ge Dongxu was always easy-going. Although he wasn't keen on further deepening his dealings with these people, since they had come, he wouldn't put on airs and reject them outright.
Upon receiving Ge Dongxu's directions, Ouyang Murong conveyed the message to Song Wenhong and then hung up the phone.
Soon, several big Mercedes appeared at the entrance of the yard, from which several bodyguards and Song Wenhong and Lin Tian got out.
Ouyang Murong represented Ge Dongxu to welcome the two at the gate.
After shaking hands and greeting Ouyang Murong, the two followed him into the gate, leaving the bodyguards outside naturally.
The moment he stepped into the yard and saw Ge Dongxu sitting leisurely under a large tree cooling off with tea, Song Wenhong immediately became nervous and restrained, his gaze filled with reverence and admiration.
The events of the previous evening, when recalled by Song Wenhong, still filled him with both trepidation and excitement.
