Chapter 854 — The Greedy Florist
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Before Guan Xin could even react, Kang Jingming began to sing: "In the hospital there's a girl named Xiao Xin, pretty and kind, with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and thick long braids..."
Kang Jingming strummed the guitar and sang, and he did rather have the air of a romantic prince about him — except that his singing was so awful it sounded a bit like a toad croaking. It not only startled Guan Xin but also made the onlookers frown!
"Xiao Mei, let's get out of here quick, don't pay him any attention!" Guan Xin had never encountered a scene like this before and was genuinely frightened by Kang Jingming.
Seeing that Guan Xin was about to leave, Kang Jingming grew anxious. He abandoned the song entirely and went straight into the confession: "Xin Xin, you are the goddess in my heart. You are electricity, you are light, you are the only legend. I love only you..."
"Where are you from? Flammable and explosive materials are not allowed in the hospital, let alone setting off fireworks! And shouting into a loudspeaker like that has already disturbed the patients here. Come back to the security office with us and accept your punishment!" Just as Kang Jingming was making all that racket, the police from the hospital's security duty room arrived in response to a report and surrounded him in an instant.
"Huh?" Kang Jingming had not expected to actually summon the police. He was stunned for a moment. "Is courting a girl a crime too?"
"Courting isn't a crime, but the methods you used have violated hospital regulations. Come along with us now!" The two officers took Kang Jingming by either arm and led him away.
Everyone had gathered around expecting to watch a farce, but before Kang Jingming could even finish his confession, the police hauled him off, and the crowd soon dispersed.
Guan Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Kang Jingming really was a nuisance, making such a spectacle and leaving her at a loss. She had never lacked suitors before, but this was the first time anyone had kicked up such a fuss!
"Phew..." Guan Xin let out a long breath and decided that the next time she saw Kang Jingming, she would have a proper talk with him. There was absolutely no hope for him with her, and she wanted him to stop wasting his effort!
"That guy really is unlucky — he didn't even get to finish his confession before the hospital security police arrested him!" Li Xiaomei pursed her lips, finding it rather amusing.
"Good thing he was arrested, otherwise I really wouldn't have known how to deal with it!" Guan Xin shook her head and hurried with Li Xiaomei toward where the hospital commuter bus was parked...
In the hospital security office, Kang Jingming wrote a letter of guarantee and paid a small fine before being released. After all, he hadn't done anything too serious, so the police gave him a lecture and let him go.
Kang Jingming didn't take a word of it to heart. Secretly anxious, he quickly maneuvered his wheelchair out of the security office, only to find Zhu Xiaozhang and Wang Shubin both waiting at the door.
"Where's Guan Xin? What happened?" Kang Jingming asked urgently.
"She left ages ago!" Wang Shubin said somewhat helplessly. "Young Master Ming, you weren't there — there was no way we could stop Guan Xin from leaving!"
"Then what expression did she have when she left? Did she look very happy?" Kang Jingming asked.
"No, she seemed pretty angry..." Wang Shubin said cautiously.
"Damn it, all that buildup for nothing!" Kang Jingming said in great annoyance. "Why does this hospital have to stick its nose into everything?"
The three of them left the hospital together. The sea of flowers in front of the entrance had already been cleared away, and the guitar and loudspeaker were nowhere to be seen, but Kang Jingming didn't much care about those things. What he was thinking about now was how on earth he could win Guan Xin over! It seemed the confession had been a complete failure!
