The lady had delicate, tender skin with a fair complexion, and her face was exceptionally soft and moist; her body was also graceful and curvy.
Seeing this beautiful young doctor so close to him, her eyes filled with an eager, pleading look as if she couldn't wait to offer herself to him, Xiaolong was taken aback.
He was quite familiar with Zhang Guilan; she used to be very proud but overall a decent person, and he had never heard of her having any sort of affair with any of the men in the village.
Xiaolong thought this not because he wanted to take Zhang Guilan for himself, but rather he was weighing whether he should take her on as his apprentice.
Teaching an apprentice was fine, but he had to scrutinize her character, especially to avoid imparting his skills to an ungrateful wolf in sheep's clothing.
Seeing that Xiaolong was deep in thought and not speaking, Zhang Guilan's face showed growing urgency.
