Chapter 435: Should She Tell Him?

The next day was Monday.

Qiao Xi went to Haicheng City Hospital to give Shen Xuanzhi's mother a final check-up and met Shen Xuanzhi again.

Shen Xuanzhi nodded at her.

Qiao Xi said politely, "Your mother has recovered very well. The follow-up treatment should focus on Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is your forte."

"Um."

Qiao Xi looked at his thin figure and said, "Next week, there will be a needle-testing competition in the capital. Good luck."

Shen Xuanzhi really needed that money, as he would get a bonus as long as he made it into the top ten.

"Thanks."

Shen Xuanzhi said this with a cold expression. He had always been like this. He and his mother had lived in the shadow of gangsters collecting debts since childhood, and he had never truly smiled.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

Qiao Xi said this and left the ward. As she walked down the corridor, she heard two young nurses discussing the medical aid team to Africa.

She asked curiously, "Is the hospital going to set up a medical team this year?"

The young nurse said, "Doctor Qiao, don't you know? This year's medical team is going to Africa. The conditions are very difficult, so not many people will go. But time is tight, and if we can't get enough people together, we'll probably have to hold a mobilization meeting."

"I didn't hear anything."

Qiao Xi came to the hospital to help Yan Shian solve his difficult and complicated illnesses, and she didn't pay attention to anything else. Moreover, most of her gossip came from Shu Xue. If Shu Xue didn't tell her, she would just close her ears and not know anything.

"Doctor Qiao, the hospital's internal system has been upgraded. You need to update the version. A lot of information has been made public in it."

"Thank you."

Qiao Xi thanked him and headed to the inpatient department. Qiao Xi had recently gained widespread fame for waking Shen Xuanzhi's mother. The families of other vegetative patients at the hospital also hoped she could help, so they submitted applications.

She is also extremely busy.

But these more difficult cases are a form of training for her, especially since she will be traveling to the capital next week to familiarize herself with the environment and participate in the trial injection conference.

By the evening, Qiao Xi's neck was stiff from working so hard.

She stretched her legs for a moment before remembering the hospital's internal system the nurse had mentioned. She immediately downloaded the update package and the upgrade was successful.

Click in to take a look.

The hospital's preliminary list of applicants for its medical aid team to Africa has been released, but the final list will probably not be announced for a few days.

Just about to open.

Shu Xue patted her shoulder and asked with a smile, "Why aren't you leaving after get off work? I saw your car parked in front of the hospital."

Qiao Xi turned around and said, "I thought you didn't come to work today. I haven't seen you all day."

She raised her phone and said, "This morning, the nurse told me that the hospital has set up a medical aid team to Africa. I just wanted to take a look."

Shu Xue snatched her phone, closed the page, stuffed it into her pocket, and said, "Doctor Qiao, just take a break and don't worry about other things. Aid to Africa has nothing to do with you. Hurry and get home."

She pushed Qiao Xi out.

The two girls walked out of the hospital playing and joking, and Old Chen stood not far from the hospital entrance watching them.

Shu Xue poked her shoulder with her finger and said with a smile, "Hey, I find you are really happy. You have a career, a family, and a caring husband. I am really enviable."

Qiao Xi hugged her arm and said, "You're not bad either. You have parents who have loved you since childhood, a stable job, and excellent relationships with people."

Shu Xue nodded thoughtfully: "I do have good parents. Although they are traditional, sometimes... they are also very understanding."

This morning, she found the signed application form for aid to Africa on the coffee table, and tears filled her eyes instantly.

Her parents compromised, even though they didn't understand her choice.

She patted Qiao Xi's shoulder and said, "Go quickly, don't keep your driver waiting for too long."

"See you tomorrow."

Qiao Xi waved her hand. She originally wanted to ask about her relationship with Zhou Yu, but in the end she gave up and could only turn around and leave.

Shu Xue looked at her from a distance and took a deep breath.

It is unknown how long she can keep the fact that she submitted the application form a secret. The director talked to her alone.

There are few people registering this time, so she will probably not be eliminated.

It's time to prepare your things for going abroad.

She would be away for at least half a year, and everything in China would have to be put on hold. She thought of Zhou Yu and felt a bit reluctant to leave, but there was no guarantee that he would wait for her to grow.

If he knew, what would his reaction be?

…

Night falls.

Qiao Xi was sitting in the living room of the small villa, flipping through a medical book. She glanced out the dark floor-to-ceiling window.

Not back yet.

After the designer salon at the weekend, Huo Xingzhou seemed to become busy all of a sudden.

The clock on the wall had already struck nine. Aunt Qian poured her a cup of hot milk and said, "Young Madam, please go back to your room and rest. Before the young master got married, it was common for him to work all night."

Aunt Qian is no longer surprised.

But Qiao Xi felt a little distressed: "I'll wait for him."

"That's fine." Aunt Qian didn't stop him, but went to the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack, wanting to wait for Huo Xingzhou to come back and give him something hot to eat.

Qiao Xi put the medical book aside, looked at the endless night and browsed her phone boredly. Seeing that several small groups in the hospital were discussing the preliminary list of aid to Africa, she also became curious.

She logged into the intranet and checked the internal notifications of the hospital. A preliminary list of medical aid to Africa was released, but this was not the final list.

Qiao Xi clicked and scrolled down, her pupils shrinking slightly!

It seemed as if I saw a familiar and conspicuous name.

Shu Xue!

She actually wants to join the medical aid team to Africa!

No wonder she'd been so secretive these past few days, hiding from her. She hadn't even shared such a big news as the aid to Africa with her.

But the public list will come out sooner or later, and she will know it sooner or later!

What are you hiding!

Do you want to wait until the dust settles and nothing can be changed before telling them?

Qiao Xi impulsively wanted to call her to ask her, but was stunned.

Does Zhou Yu know?

Shu Xue didn't want to talk about it, perhaps because she didn't want to cause any trouble. Since she had already submitted the application form, it made sense.

Her parents must have agreed!

Does this mean her relationship with Zhou Yu has come to an end? Or will the historical ending of Xie Liuzheng and Zhou Yu have a different outcome?

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

The sound of a car could be heard outside the villa, and Zhou Yu arrived before he even showed up. "It smells so good! Aunt Qian, what are you cooking? Is that your specialty, beef bone noodle soup? I want two hand-beaten beef balls!"

He came in following the smell, and seeing Qiao Xi, he said a little embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I got drunk last night and made a fool of myself. Please don't take it to heart. I understand what you said to me, and I will definitely correct it in the future."

He was a little casual.

He didn't treat Shu Xue seriously, which made her feel insecure and that's why she said those words.

Qiao Xi looked at him with a puzzled expression, the phone in her hand felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

In the end, should I tell him or not?
