Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 833: Chapter 832: Compatible Means They’re a Good Match, Right?

”Huff huff--”

Gu Tong jogged lightly, sprinting through the Academy, clutching the area over her heart, feeling like she had narrowly escaped a disaster.

”Gu... Gu Royal Doctor, wait for me...”

Yan Lishan chased behind, also slightly out of breath, surprised that the Royal Doctor from the East District could run so fast; in just a while, she almost left him behind.

After running a bit more, Gu Tong felt tired and stopped, supporting herself against a big tree, breathing heavily.

Taking advantage of the moment, Yan Lishan also ran up and grabbed the big tree, saying, ”Gu Royal Doctor... What do you East District Royal Doctors eat to get so big? You run too fast...”

Gu Tong glared at him, clearly unwilling to bother with him. Had it not been for his corrupt thoughts earlier, she wouldn’t have been nearly choked by water and forced to run away.

”Gu Royal Doctor... Did I do something to offend you? You seem unhappy...”

Yan Lishan wasn’t insensitive; he held onto the tree and cautiously observed Gu Tong through a gap, asking, ”Is it because all you trainees in the East District think the Devil King is the most powerful, so... Officer Qiao isn’t worthy to be on equal footing?”

Thinking it over, this seemed like the only possibility.

”Chenyi is very powerful! Of course, he can be compared.” Gu Tong rolled her eyes, glanced at him, and said, ”Come on, explain to me what ’compatible’ means!”

”Compatible... means they match well, I guess... When I saw the Devil King and Genius Qiao standing together, I just felt that they’d surely be very in sync in the future, able to create legends...”

Yan Lishan scratched the back of his head, explaining in a somewhat dazed manner.

Gu Tong’s mouth twitched, unable to believe his incorrect understanding of ’compatible’!

She forced a smile, saying, ”’Compatible’ generally used to refer to a couple being well-suited during weddings or a common term when introducing someone to a partner. For you to say ’compatible,’ if I were to act normally, that’d be absurd.”

”Wow... so many nuances...” Yan Lishan said awkwardly, feeling confused, ”Ahem... My studies are too shallow, inappropriate language, inappropriate language...”

Thinking about it this way, it really was his problem; this was just the way he was, never considering much while talking with comrades, often causing misunderstandings.

Realizing this, Yan Lishan felt somewhat relieved that no one else heard them.

If the Devil King and Genius Qiao had heard, they would’ve skinned him alive in an instant.

”Ahem... I was indeed wrong about this... Gu Royal Doctor... please don’t be angry...” Yan Lishan was willing to admit his mistakes, knowing when to be humble without any embarrassment.

Gu Tong wasn’t exactly angry, understood the misunderstanding, and didn’t say much more, instead saying, ”Take me to the Royal Doctor Station.”

The reporting locations for the trainees aren’t the same; for instance, Royal Doctors must report to the Medical Center or Royal Doctor Station.

This is a procedure, and a mandatory step.

”Okay.” Yan Lishan responded, then turned around to lead the way, but in the next second, he made an expression more unpleasant than crying, saying, ”Gu Royal Doctor... You were running too fast earlier... and, it was all in the wrong direction... From here to the Royal Doctor Station, it might take us half an hour...”

Gu Tong: ”...”
