Chapter 135: Chapter 135: He’s Looking for a Girl
Among these younger generations, Professor Quinn likes Zane Crawford the most, without exception.
In recent years, Iris Crawford has wanted Zane Crawford to give a few lectures at Ferelden’s The St. Lyra Academy, but unfortunately, Zane Crawford has been constantly busy with surgeries, unable to spare the time.
So when Professor Quinn saw Zane Crawford at The Concordiat Research Institute, he felt genuinely surprised.
Zane Crawford was wearing a white shirt today, the corners hanging casually, with his wavy bangs covering his bright black eyes, presenting a clean and handsome demeanor.
"I’ve already learned about Auntie’s matter, I must excuse myself now." Zane Crawford spoke coldly and then walked away.
...
Joan Alden was in a very good mood; Yasmine Sterling felt like a calming pill to him, and it wouldn’t be long before Yasmine Sterling would become his girlfriend.
With Yasmine Sterling, Shania didn’t seem to matter anymore, and Joan Alden finally felt psychologically balanced.
He patted the Great Radiance Wisdom Sutra hidden in his bosom; Serena Sterling was still in the library looking for this book, so he planned on messing with her.
Joan Alden was extremely happy and proud when suddenly a black bag was put over his head.
What’s going on?
Joan Alden stiffened, "Who? Who is... ah!"
Before Joan Alden could finish his sentence, a fist struck his face, and then came a second punch, a third one...
Zane Crawford lazily stood at the front, having already heard Joan Alden’s screams that sounded like a pig being slaughtered. Soon, Wade came over, handing the Great Radiance Wisdom Sutra forward, "Second Young Master, here."
...
In the library.
Serena Sterling was searching for the Great Radiance Wisdom Sutra; she wasn’t blindly searching because while studying Hayden Crawford’s condition, she had spent time here and had seen the book.
She had a great memory and clearly remembered where the Great Radiance Wisdom Sutra was, but when she went to look, it was nowhere to be found.
Where is the Great Radiance Wisdom Sutra?
Did she remember incorrectly?
Serena Sterling searched several times throughout but couldn’t find it. The library was so vast that she ended up sweating.
Suddenly, she noticed a tall, handsome figure up ahead, very familiar, it was the... the man who likes to sleep.
He had helped her twice already, yet she still didn’t know his name.
What was he doing here?
She saw him standing beside a bookshelf in a corner, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a book while reading. His clean and aloof demeanor made him resemble the cool yet charming senior often found in comics.
Two girls watched him with blushing faces,
Wow, he’s really handsome.
Yeah, he’s the heartthrob of The Concordiat, even more handsome than legend suggests.
Serena Sterling didn’t act starstruck, but her gaze fell onto his hands, the book in his hands turned out to be... the Great Radiance Wisdom Sutra she was looking for!
No wonder she couldn’t find it; he took it to read.
Serena Sterling quickly walked up to him, arriving by his side, she lightly coughed, "Cough cough, excuse me, could you let me borrow the Great Radiance Wisdom Sutra in your hands for a moment?"
Zane Crawford lifted his head from the book, his cold black eyes landing on Serena Sterling.
Serena Sterling’s bright eyes looked at him, "Um... Professor Quinn from The St. Lyra Academy in Ferelden came today, she wanted to borrow this book. Could you let me have it first?"
Zane Crawford stood upright; this was the library, no loud noises allowed. The delicate girl stood before him, her small voice carried a negotiating tone, with a hint of youthful sweetness and softness, exceptionally pleasant to hear.
Zane Crawford didn’t speak.
Serena Sterling felt a bit awkward—it’s inappropriate to take what others love; he read it first, even if Professor Quinn wanted it, there should be an order, right? "Forget it, I won’t disturb your reading; you continue. I’ll go tell Professor Quinn."
Serena Sterling turned to leave.
But Zane Crawford reached out, directly tossing the Great Radiance Wisdom Sutra to her.
"Hey!"
Serena Sterling didn’t expect him to throw the book over, she hurriedly caught it. When she looked up again, Zane Crawford’s handsome and aloof figure had already disappeared from her view.
...
Zane Crawford returned to the medicine room, sitting on his chair when a melodious phone ringtone echoed, a call was coming.
It was a call from Iris Crawford, the principal of The St. Lyra Academy in Ferelden.
His aunt’s call finally came.
Zane Crawford pressed the button to connect, "Hello, Aunt."
Iris Crawford’s capable voice quickly transmitted over, "Zane, I just landed, now in Bayside. Where are you? I’ll come to pick you up; let’s visit Grandma together at Orchid Court."
"No need to pick me up; go ahead first, I’ll come later."
"You must come tonight; you haven’t visited Grandma during your time in Bayside. Let’s have dinner together."
Zane Crawford showed no expression, nor did he respond.
"Zane, I spoke with your mom over the phone, everyone is anxious about your marriage. I’ve arranged a small family gathering in a few days and invited a mysterious gifted young woman to attend. She’s also in Bayside; I’ll introduce you two then."
Zane Crawford pressed his thin lips together, "I don’t have time..."
"Zane," Iris Crawford interrupted him sternly, "even though you’re a member of the Crawford family, concerning marriage, we’ve let you decide. You said you once met a girl in City of Aethelgard and wanted a year to find her; the time’s been given to you. Have you found that girl?"
Wade stood respectfully beside Zane Crawford, knowing his Second Young Master’s prideful and aloof nature, very few girls could catch his eye.
But a few years ago, the Second Young Master had once met a girl in City of Aethelgard.
It was on a street in Aethelgard when a severely injured patient collapsed, bleeding from the stomach, already unconscious and in critical condition. The Second Young Master, along with a girl, saved the patient on the spot. With no time to reach the hospital, the patient couldn’t even be moved; the girl used needles, the Second Young Master used knives, performing a shocking surgery right there.
This surgery shook all of City of Aethelgard.
But after saving the person, the girl left, and the Second Young Master gave chase, seeing her board a long-distance bus heading for Bayside.
Later, the Second Young Master pursued her to Bayside, constantly searching for the girl.
Yet among the vast population, the girl remained untraceable.
"Zane, the time’s been given, but you’re a remarkable prodigy, a scholar in Aethelgard, hands of unparalleled worth; yet you’ve abandoned everything to hide in Bayside, just to find a girl. Now a year is nearly up, and you haven’t found her; we can’t indulge you any longer!"
Zane Crawford clenched his phone, and after some silence, softly said, "I found her..."
