"Hiss!" Qin Huai gasped in pain.

Qiao Qiqi quickly stepped back, looked at the man's furrowed brows, and asked, "What did you feel when I got close just now?"

"It hurts!" Qin Huai replied immediately.

Qiao Qiqi frowned and immediately said, "I'm not asking you what it felt like after I bit you, I'm asking about before I bit you!"

A look of confusion flashed across Qin Huai's eyes: "..."

After realizing what had happened, I carefully recalled my feelings just now. It seemed like I felt nervous, shocked, expectant, and my heart was racing... and there was also a faint feeling of excitement.

"Have you thought of anything?" Qiao Qiqi asked impatiently when she saw him staring at her without saying anything.

Qin Huai blinked, looking into her big, watery eyes, and suddenly felt a stirring in his heart.

I don't know where the courage came from, but I suddenly stepped forward, cupped her face, aimed at her lips, and kissed her forcefully.

Qiao Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes wide: "..."

She was stunned when Qin Huai actually kissed her.

This seems to be the first time he's been so proactive, right?

Sensing that the man was proving his answer through his actions, she narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately reached out to hug his waist. Seemingly feeling uncomfortable through his clothes, she boldly slipped her hands inside his shirt, her soft, boneless hands gradually moving upwards from behind his waist.

Qin Huai felt as if a fire was burning up behind him, completely extinguishing his reason, and his kiss became even more fierce.

Qiao Qiqi, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed the man's back with both hands.

Little did she know that her actions were more like a stimulus, an encouragement, making the man's kiss even more ferocious.

Qiao Qiqi liked him, so she was naturally happy to let him kiss her, and obediently cooperated.

But gradually, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Something beneath me seemed to be stirring restlessly...

Realizing the situation was getting out of control, Qiao Qiqi frowned, suddenly let go of his hand, wrapped both hands around the man's chest, and pushed him hard.

Qin Huai was pushed back two steps, the lust in his eyes still lingering, and he looked at her with a dazed expression.

Qiao Qiqi touched the corner of her lips, her face flushed as she looked at him, "No, Chenchen and Xinxin are still here."

? ?

Qin Huai blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Qiao Qiqi simply looked down and glanced at him from a certain spot.

Qin Huai sensed it, lowered his head slightly, but before he could see what was there, he suddenly realized something, and his expression instantly froze.

All lust subsided at that moment, and he immediately turned to the side, coughing lightly, "I, I didn't mean it."

Qiao Qiqi found it somewhat amusing that he clearly wanted to, but he was still stubbornly denying it, but she didn't call him out on it.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should take a shower and go to bed. I'll go wash up in the kitchen too."

"Hmm." Qin Huai responded, watching her turn around, but suddenly remembered that she had mentioned going to the county, and quickly asked, "Are you going to the county tomorrow? When are you going to get the letter of introduction?"

Qiao Qiqi turned around: "It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow morning."

Qin Huai thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"

"No need, I'll ask my mother to go with me."

Qin Huai didn't say anything more.

I slept well all night.

In the morning, Qiao Qiqi woke up early.

She was originally going to find Su Shangjin to get a letter of introduction, but as soon as she got dressed and went out, Qin Huai handed her the letter of introduction that he had already prepared.

"When did you open it?" Qiao Qiqi asked in surprise as she took the letter of introduction.

Qin Huai watched her put the book in her pocket after reading it and said, "I just went to Captain Su to get it."

Now that the letter of introduction has been returned, we have much more time.

Qiao Qiqi and Qin Huai made breakfast together. After they finished, they went to wake up Xin Xin and Chen Chen. When Chen Chen learned that Qiao Qiqi was going to take Xin Xin to the county for treatment, she volunteered, "I'll go to Uncle Qin's house. Sister, you can take Xin Xin to the county."

If he goes along, not only will he have to spend extra on travel expenses, but he'll also have to eat out for lunch...

Chenchen is already a teenager, so she thinks about things a lot.

He already feels bad about eating and drinking for free at his sister and Brother Qin's house every day, so he must save money for his sister whenever possible.

"Are you really not going?" Qiao Qiqi actually wanted to bring Chenchen along, mainly because she wouldn't miss him.

But Chenchen shook her head, "I don't like riding in cars. Sister, you can take Xinxin. I'll wait at home."

Seeing that Chenchen insisted on not going, Qiao Qiqi didn't force her. "Okay, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."

"Mhm." Chenchen nodded.

After finishing their meal, Qin Huai went out to take Chenchen to the Qin family home, while Qiao Qiqi took Xin Xin's little hand and went to find Lin Chunying.

When Lin Chunying learned that she was going to the county to take Xin Xin to see a doctor, she quickly changed her clothes and went out with the two of them without saying a word.

Qiao Qiqi was warmed by the fact that not only Qin Huai supported her decision, but Lin Chunying also did. This feeling of being trusted by her family made her heart flutter.

As the three walked toward the intersection, they happened to see Su Shangjin hurrying along.

Upon seeing Qiao Qiqi, Su Shangjin couldn't help but complain, "Your Qin Huai came to my house and knocked on the door before dawn, insisting that I go to the commune brigade to get him a letter of introduction. I said I couldn't even go to the toilet, he wanted me to get you a letter of introduction first, and then go back to the toilet. Tell me, is there any way he can act like this?"

Qiao Qiqi never expected Qin Huai to do something like this...

I was stunned for a moment.

Lin Chunying was the first to react, and said with a smile, "This child is probably anxious, Captain, don't take it to heart."

Su Shangjin wasn't being petty; he was just venting.

Looking at the little girl holding Qiao Qiqi's hand, and seeing how beautiful the child was, she immediately felt a fondness for her. "This child must be Xiao Xinxin, right? She's so cute."

Xin Xin looked blankly at the dark-skinned uncle in front of her. Since she couldn't hear what he was saying, she could only look at Qiao Qiqi.

Qiao Qiqi felt a little sad and explained to Su Shangjin, "Xin Xin can't speak, and she can't hear either."

"Is it that serious?" Su Shangjin frowned and immediately withdrew his hand. "Then you should go and get in the car. I won't bother you any longer. I have things to do too."

"Alright, Uncle Su, go ahead and get busy!"

Qiao Qiqi stepped aside, watched Su Shangjin leave in a hurry, and then quickly headed towards the bus stop.

It was ten minutes later when the three of them got into the car. The process was the same as before: first take a car to the town, and then take a bus from the town to the county.

By the time we arrived in the county, the sun was already high in the sky.

Qiao Qiqi immediately took the two of them to the hospital, registered Xin Xin, and took her to see a Western doctor.

Western medicine doctors said there was no good solution and suggested seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, so Qiao Qiqi had to make another appointment with a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

However, they were told that the best solution was acupuncture, but it would require three courses of treatment, each lasting seven days, and they would have to come to the hospital for acupuncture continuously.
