Chapter 554: Incense Money

Because of a tense joke, the atmosphere in the entire dormitory fell into a strange deadlock.

Suddenly, Qi Xu's phone rang.

Cheerful nursery rhymes break the awkward silence.

Qi Xu checked the caller ID and saw it was an unfamiliar number. It took him a while to answer the call.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It's me, Lu Shixu."

Because Qi Xu blocked his number, Lu Shixu could only borrow Aliang's phone to make the call.

"Is there something wrong?" Qi Xu's tone was very impatient.

Lu Shixu put on a brave face and said shyly, "Nothing, I'm just bored and wanted to chat with you."

"I have nothing to talk about with you."

Qi Xu killed Lu Shixu with just one sentence.

He wasn't good at communicating with the opposite sex, let alone coaxing women. This was the first time in his life that he took the initiative to make friends with a girl, and it turned out to be a complete mess.

"Xu Xu, if you don't want to talk to me, can you please listen to me?"

"There's something that confuses me, and I want to explain it to you. Do you have time? Can we meet?"

"No time!" Qi Xu simply refused coldly without showing any mercy.

"You've already finished get off work. It's only 8 o'clock now. How come you don't have time? Come out. I'll wait for you at the hospital entrance."

It had been seven or eight days since their last quarrel and cold war. Lu Shixu was really feeling anxious, so he secretly came to the hospital to find him.

In the afternoon, I sat in the corridor and wandered around for half a day. Seeing that she was busy, I didn't dare to disturb her.

Wait until she gets off work.

He watched her walk past him but didn't have the courage to call her.

The captain of the Red Eagle Team, who has always been brave and good at fighting, is more timid than a mouse when facing emotional problems.

As a military leader, Lu Shixu was used to speaking in an imperative tone, which made Qi Xu unhappy.

"Didn't I tell you that we are just an ordinary doctor-patient relationship. Don't harass me. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Go away and leave me alone!"

Qi Xu's voice was so sharp and piercing that it made Lu Shixu's ears numb.

Since soft tactics don't work, the only option is hard tactics. When it comes to overcoming challenges, soldiers in the military are always forging ahead, never retreating.

Even if Qi Xu didn't want to see him, he would force her to see him.

He was going crazy thinking about what she was thinking about.

"Doctor Qi, I don't want to bother you. But you must be responsible for me."

"I remember you once said that if you damage someone's valuables, you should compensate them according to the price. Last time, you damaged my amulet, which I spent a lot of money to buy from a high-ranking monk."

"At that time, in order to obtain this amulet, I donated 8.88 million to the temple. Now, the amulet has been damaged by you, and you must compensate me."

Hearing this shameless and bizarre theory and this huge number, Qi Xu was so shocked that he almost fell off the upper bunk bed.

"8.88 million? Lu Shixu, who are you trying to trick? Why don't you just rob someone?"

"I won't compensate you for your empty words."

This trick really works. As long as money is involved, the young doctor will definitely get angry.

"Who says empty words are not enough? It is clearly written in the Tianling Mountain Cibei Temple's merit book. The Lu family donated 8.88 million in incense money."

"Also, there's a merit stele next to the temple. My name, Lu Shixu, is also on it. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it."

The Lu family actually donated this money, so Lu Shixu was able to speak so confidently.

But Qi Xu didn't want to be the scapegoat.

She had finally saved several million in her card. If she really paid him the compensation based on this amount, she would not have a penny left and would still owe him several million.

"The incense money is donated by you yourselves, what does it have to do with me?"

"Just for a peace amulet, you want me to pay 8.88 million. Have you lost your conscience?"

"This is extortion, blackmail, and fraud. I won't compensate you anyway. Go ahead and sue me if you have the guts."

Hearing her angry look, Lu Shixu laughed instead.

"We donated incense to pray for peace. Now that the peace amulet has been destroyed by you, of course we need you to accompany us."

"8.88 million 21 years ago, in today's currency, is worth at least 10 million. I'm being very lenient by not accounting for inflation. How can you still accuse me of extortion?"

"Besides, I ruined a few pairs of your underwear, but I actually paid you millions in compensation. Why are you turning your back on me now that the incident is your fault?"

"Why don't we call the police to come and judge the matter? I soiled some of your underwear and paid you several million. You damaged my 8.88 million amulet and refused to pay. Let's see how the police decide."

For the first time in his life, Qi Xu was left speechless while making a defense.

"Lu Shixu, you..."

"You scheming man, black lotus, male bitch. You deliberately tricked me into living in your house, and then dug a hole to bury me, right?"

"I didn't try to trick you. I just wanted to see you." Lu Shixu decided to stop while he was ahead. If he really pissed this guy off, it would be difficult to stop.

Qi Xu's voice was so loud that the other three colleagues in the dormitory all heard it.

Especially Liu Xiaoxuan's gloating expression, she was happier than winning an 8 million lottery.

"Some people have bad intentions and are going to get into trouble. They deserve it!"

Qi Xu glared at Liu Xiaoxuan with a glare as sharp as an ice knife, and then continued to rage.

"Lu Shixu, what do you want?"

"Come down and talk. If you come downstairs now and appear before me within five minutes, the compensation will be halved."

Oh my god, it’s halved in 5 minutes, that’s nearly five million.

"Wait a minute, I'll come down, I'll come down now."

Qi Xu didn't even have time to change his shoes and rushed downstairs in his pajamas.

In order to spy on Qi Xu's privacy, Liu Xiaoxuan also went downstairs, secretly following behind her like a tail.

I witnessed with my own eyes that she couldn't wait to throw herself into the arms of a tall man.

Humph, this little bitch, she keeps lying, saying she's not my boyfriend. Now she's acting so slutty, even more wanton than a prostitute in the red light district.

She crept closer and spied on him.

It was indeed the man from the afternoon. He was tall and handsome. Looking at his extraordinary demeanor, it was obvious that he was a rich man.

Little bitch, she is so lucky that she has caught such an outstanding man.

Liu Xiaoxuan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She almost scratched the skin off the big tree where she was hiding.

Qi Xu was not rushing to throw himself into his arms, but because he was running too fast and his slippers were too slippery, he failed to brake and fell into Lu Shixu's arms.

After breaking free from his arms, the first thing she did was to show the stopwatch, breathlessly emphasizing it.

"4 minutes and 59 seconds, I'm not late. We agreed on halving, you can't go back on your word."

Lu Shixu did not refuse to pay the debt, but instead changed his way of doing so.

"Ah, that hurts. You hit my shoulder, and it hurts here."

Lu Shixu had intended to play the role of pity, using some self-torture to make her feel bad, but the little fool was so frightened that her face turned pale and her eyebrows almost flew off.

"No way? I'm not that unlucky, am I? You're so tall, and I'm so small. I was clearly hugging your waist, not your shoulders."

"How did you get hurt? You're not blackmailing me and trying to scam me, are you?"

"Lu Shixu, you are a soldier, you can't bully me like this."
