Chapter 16 Do You Know What You're Saying?
Ning Tang's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively tried to dodge, but Xu Qiaofeng grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
The man's hot breath brushed against her ear.
The steam from her recent shower made her feel resistant.
"Don't move..."
Xu Qiaofeng's voice was almost hoarse, but he managed to stay rational and didn't actually hurt the woman in his arms.
"I feel...unwell, it's strange."
Ning Tang could sense that something was wrong with his body; his waist felt hot. Although she was already a mother, she still couldn't help but blush.
Thinking of the abnormal pulse, she said anxiously and in a panic, "You can't tough it out like this, it'll cause problems."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qiaofeng suddenly turned his head away, creating distance between them.
Stray hairs fluttered across her forehead, her expression remained as indifferent as ever, but her face was frighteningly red.
With reddened eyes, she looked at Ning Tang and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's none of your business."
"You go out first, I'm fine."
Ning Tang was furious at his pretentious and wary demeanor. She pushed him away and turned to open the door.
A few seconds passed.
She was still standing inside the house.
Looking at Xu Qiaofeng's increasingly red eyes, and then at the locked door, I saw...
Thinking of the yang energy the woman in the space had mentioned, and knowing he couldn't get out anyway, he steeled himself: "If you stubbornly hold on and something really goes wrong, I won't be able to explain myself later."
Ning Tang's cheeks were burning hot, but she still looked up to meet Xu Qiaofeng's gaze.
“I know how to solve it. If you have no problem, just nod.”
Xu Qiaofeng's expression froze, and his breathing became erratic.
With reddened eyes, he growled, "Ning Tang! Do you know what you're saying?!"
Ning Tang's heart skipped a beat at his shout. "I know, I wouldn't have bothered if I wasn't worried about your health."
"And are you sure you can keep going?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at the man's unusual expression.
Xu Qiaofeng froze, as if he hadn't expected her to say that.
My body was indeed at its limit; the arrow was on the bowstring, and I had no choice but to release it.
After a minute of silence, he suddenly stared intently at Ning Tang, veins bulging on his forehead.
"They've gone mad."
"Everyone has gone mad."
Ning Tang blushed and approached.
Half an hour later.
She was exhausted and covered in sweat, and asked softly, "Are you feeling any better?"
"Soon."
An hour later.
Ning Tang looked at her reddened hands, her voice trembling with tears: "And this time?"
"Soon."
It wasn't until dawn that Ning Tang managed to snatch her poor hand back and curled up in the blankets.
Only her reddened eyes were visible as she stared at her rubbed-reddened fingers, her grievances almost overflowing.
Her hands haven't had a rest since last night, and now even the slightest movement hurts.
Xu Qiaofeng stood by the bed, his complexion had returned to normal, but there was still a trace of fatigue and...shyness in his eyes.
He looked at Ning Tang, who lay under the covers like a wounded little animal, his Adam's apple bobbing, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.
After a long silence, he coldly said, "Don't overthink it, I don't have those kinds of feelings for you."
"Last night was just a misunderstanding, I will make it up to you."
"After we finish getting ready and have breakfast, I'll take you to your new post at the military hospital."
After saying that, Xu Qiaofeng got dressed and left the room.
Ning Tang ignored him and wrapped the blanket even tighter.
Hmph, she doesn't have those kinds of feelings for him either!
She hadn't forgotten Lu Niannian, her beloved. If it weren't for Grandma Xu's kindness to her, she wouldn't have cared about him.
Thinking of this, Ning Tang suddenly thought of yang energy. She activated the bracelet and silently chanted in her heart.
When I opened my eyes again, a woman in a cheongsam greeted me with a smile.
He looked her up and down, his eyes full of amusement: "Oh my, it's only been a short time, but Tang girl looks like a flower that has been nourished. The more I look at her, the more charming she becomes."
"I told you so, no man can resist you. Xu Qiaofeng obediently sent his yang energy over."
Ning Tang's cheeks flushed from what she was being told.
"Last night was just an accident. We're not in the kind of relationship you're thinking of."
"Yes, yes, you help him."
“But I see that the yang energy this time is much stronger than last time. Xu Qiaofeng may seem heartless, but he has plenty of yang energy.” The woman paused, then said, “If this continues a few more times, you will be able to take the medicinal ingredient.”
A few more times?
Ning Tang really felt like she was going to faint right there.
Her hand hurt terribly after just one time; if it happened a few more times, wouldn't it be...?
Especially when she thought about how she had begged for mercy with a sob in her voice at the end, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Ning Tang read some medical books in the space for a while, then felt a little tired and left.
After quickly tidying herself up and going downstairs, Grandma Xu put a peeled egg into her bowl as soon as she sat down.
His eyes kept glancing between her and Xu Qiaofeng, and he smiled meaningfully.
Breakfast passed by awkwardly like that.
Xu Qiaofeng usually leaves right after finishing his meal, but today he sat still in his chair, clearly waiting for Ning Tang.
Thinking of his promise to take a position at a military hospital, Ning Tang got into the car with the man.
The jeep drove out of the compound.
Ning Tang looked out the window and suddenly spoke up: "Is this the compensation you promised me?"
"Ahem." Xu Qiaofeng didn't expect her to be so straightforward. "I've already spoken to the hospital. Your medical skills are good enough. You can directly study under Wang Yan in the internal medicine department."
You can't get fat overnight.
Ning Tang knew that her position should be that of an intern doctor.
As long as she can heal the sick and save lives, she is willing to learn until she is old, and she is open to any position.
When they arrived at the hospital, Wang Yan was already waiting at the entrance.
Xu Qiaofeng had an urgent meeting to attend in the morning. Seeing Ning Tang being taken away by Wang Yan, he turned and left as well.
"Xiao Ning, the dean has already made arrangements. You'll come with me to the internal medicine department."
Wang Yan smiled brightly, her face almost wrinkled, "Everyone in the department is easy to get along with. You and Dr. Zhang Jiaman are assigned to the same group, so you should get along well in the future."
Ning Tang's mind raced, sensing that something was amiss.
Suspicious in his heart, he remained outwardly calm: "Director Wang, I will work hard."
When Ning Tang arrived at the department, she realized that something was wrong.
Zhang Jiaman didn't wear heavy makeup this time. She got bangs to cover her ugly eyebrows, and looked like she went from being a 50% pretty girl to a 70% lively and beautiful girl.
Upon seeing Ning Tang arrive, he immediately carried the canned yellow peaches over.
"Tangtang, you're finally here."
"I bought this on my way to work. I can't finish it all by myself, so let's share it."
Something unusual must be going on.
Sure enough, the next second Zhang Jiaman looked behind Ning Tang, but after waiting for a long time without seeing Xu Qiaofeng, she couldn't help but ask:
"Tangtang, why isn't Captain Xu here? Isn't he your brother?"
Ning Tang raised an eyebrow, not rushing to agree, but instead asked, "How does Dr. Zhang know that Xu Qiaofeng is my brother?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiaman became even more convinced.
With a smile that looked like she was in love, she said, "Don't worry about that, I have my own way."
"By the way, you're in my group. You're probably new here and don't know much, but don't worry about that. As long as Tangtang calls me 'sister-in-law,' I'll be happy and I'll definitely protect you!"
Ning Tang's smile was somewhat faint: "Isn't that inappropriate?"
Everyone in the compound knows that Xu Qiaofeng has a girl he likes.
Zhang Jiaman's smile froze for a moment.
Who dares to steal her man? If she catches them, she'll tear that little slut's face to shreds!
"Tangtang, just tell me the truth, who is that woman? If I get together with Captain Xu, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits."
No matter how Zhang Jiaman tried to coax her, Ning Tang just wouldn't say anything.
Just then, Wang Yan suddenly called out from the doorway: "Everyone in the internal medicine department, come out! Something's happened at the street office, and injured people are being brought over!"
The neighborhood committee office? Isn't that where Wenya works?
