"Tingxiao, don't forget your follow-up appointment at the hospital tomorrow."
In the evening, Huo Tingxiao received a call from his friend Xu Zezhi, reminding him to go to the hospital to have his leg checked.
Although Huo Tingxiao is currently undergoing traditional Chinese medicine treatment, regular leg checkups are still necessary.
Because previous examinations of my leg revealed the same problem, with the conclusion that it was difficult to treat and the chances of recovery were slim, the examination schedule was changed from once a month to once every three months.
Tomorrow will mark the third month.
"Mmm." Huo Tingxiao fed the peeled grapes in his hand to the person beside him.
Wen Xingyue took a bite and her eyes never left the TV.
"Tingxiao..." After finishing the business, Xu Zezhi on the other end of the phone seemed to want to say something more but hesitated.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up. I'm going to sleep."
Huo Tingxiao glanced at the clock in the living room; it was already 8:30, time for her to go to bed. Xu Zezhi, who was on the other end of the phone, hesitated before asking her a question.
"Hey, wait, um... Tingxiao, could you bring your sister-in-law tomorrow?"
Xu Zezhi stopped him. He knew that Huo Tingxiao really wanted to rest, and he wasn't going to be careless anymore, so he said it with a bit of embarrassment.
"Hmm?" Huo Tingxiao frowned. "What happened?"
He knew that Xu Zezhi was not the kind of person who would easily tell him to take his wife to the hospital.
The fact that he said that means something is wrong.
"Um... my mom has arranged a blind date for me, and I'd like to ask my sister-in-law to help me take a look."
Having already said what he needed to say, Xu Zezhi stopped hesitating and began to talk about the things that had been troubling him lately.
Although he said last time that he didn't quite believe Wen Xingyue's words.
But Wen Xingyue's words were like a thorn, piercing his heart.
Even if a man can accept being cuckolded.
His mother has been constantly worrying about his marriage lately, urging him every day. He doesn't understand why his mother is so worried about him not being able to get married, when he should be focusing on his career, but his mother always wants him to get married.
Especially since she didn't even ask his opinion before letting the blind date come.
The thought of the blind date his mother had arranged for him gave him a headache.
Thinking back to what Wen Xingyue had said about his future, he is now extremely resistant to marriage.
His mother arranged for him to meet his blind date at noon.
When Tingxiao comes to check, they can have a meal together and also meet that blind date.
"...Yes, I'll take Xingyue with me tomorrow."
Huo Tingxiao glanced at the person sitting beside him and nodded.
"Okay, okay, the restaurant my mom found is really good. You can order whatever you want tomorrow, it's on me."
Huo Tingxiao agreed, Xu Zezhi said, patting his chest on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
...
"Yueyue, it's time to sleep now. We'll watch it tomorrow."
Huo Tingxiao used a handkerchief to wipe the water stains from the grapes on her lips.
"I'll go to sleep after I finish watching this episode."
Wen Xingyue responded.
"Yueyue, will you come with me to the hospital tomorrow?"
Huo Tingxiao did not stop her, but took her hand and rubbed it, asking for her opinion.
"Go to the hospital? Okay, then I won't go to see Master tomorrow morning."
Wen Xingyue did not refuse.
"Zezhi is going on a blind date tomorrow and wants me to help her choose. I don't know much about girls, so you'll have to come with me. We'll have lunch with Zezhi, and you can help me check her out then."
Huo Tingxiao had already come up with an excuse for her.
Huo Tingxiao's good friend is going on a blind date? I'd better go with him tomorrow and see what's going on.
You must help Huo Tingxiao's good brother avoid bad women.
Wen Xingyue originally thought she was just accompanying him for a simple check-up, but when Huo Tingxiao mentioned Xu Zezhi, she immediately thought of the refined man she had met last time.
The one who was ultimately cuckolded and died a lonely and miserable death in his later years was truly pitiful.
"good."
Wen Xingyue agreed, "We'll go together tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, a shadow fell in front of her, and she was pulled closer to Huo Tingxiao, her lips captured in his kiss.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yueyue, tomorrow."
Huo Tingxiao hooked his arm around her neck, tilted his head back and kissed her, his voice deep and resonant.
"No...it's not hard work."
Wen Xingyue closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, but she obediently let Huo Tingxiao kiss her without struggling.
Ever since their last kiss, Huo Tingxiao would kiss her whenever they were alone.
Wen Xingyue enjoys being around him and always obediently lets him kiss her.
"Let's go, let's rest."
Huo Tingxiao kissed her enough, then let go of her. Seeing her flushed, pink face, he smiled and ruffled her hair.
The TV episode is over.
"Um."
Wen Xingyue stood up and followed him into the room.
As October slowly approaches, the weather is getting a bit cooler.
It's a bit cold sitting in the living room.
After massaging Huo Tingxiao's legs again, the two lay down.
"Huo Tingxiao, after we come back from the hospital tomorrow, we'll go see Master together in the afternoon. Master said your leg can be treated with acupuncture slowly."
Lying in bed, Wen Xingyue nestled in Huo Tingxiao's arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and yawned sleepily.
"Can I have acupuncture tomorrow?"
Huo Tingxiao looked down at the little person nestled in his arms, his hand massaging her sore wrist. Hearing this, she paused, looked down at him, and surprise appeared in her deep eyes.
"Yes, Master said I learn very quickly and can try to give you acupuncture, but I'm a little hesitant to do it alone, so we have to go to Master's place and ask him to watch over you."
Wen Xingyue pressed her face against his arm, rubbing against him, and spoke softly.
During this period, she went to her master's place to learn in the morning, and also in the afternoon. After dinner, if it was still early, she would go to her master's place to practice.
Her hands have gone from trembling at the beginning to being steady now; she can even hold a needle as fine as a hair without her hands shaking.
Rapid progress.
It was her first time putting it into practice, and Wen Xingyue was a little unsure of herself.
[My first practice opponent was Huo Tingxiao. Although Master said I had learned very well, when it came to actually fighting, especially against Huo Tingxiao, I felt a little nervous. It's a pity Master won't save people anymore, otherwise I would have begged Master to help me.]
Wen Xingyue pinched the flesh on Huo Tingxiao's waist, muttering to herself.
"Don't be afraid. My leg is already like this, so it won't be any worse."
Huo Tingxiao grabbed her hand that was on his waist, and she used her arm as a pillow to pull her a little closer to him.
He bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Huo Tingxiao, I will try my best."
Wen Xingyue looked up at him, meeting his deep, dark eyes, where her own reflection was mirrored, filled with tolerance and indulgence.
Suddenly I felt less nervous.
She tilted her head back and kissed his chin.
"Okay, I believe you." Huo Tingxiao smiled at her.
Wen Xingyue nestled contentedly in his arms and fell asleep.
Huo Tingxiao believed in her, so she wasn't so afraid anymore.
She will also try her best to cure Huo Tingxiao, and she will make Huo Tingxiao better as soon as possible.
She will definitely try her best.
