Chapter 397 You are the best in my heart
Qiao Xi turned around and looked at him in a daze.
Her fingertips were warm.
Huo Xingzhou raised his head and opened his thin lips slightly: "I know that grandma's death is a knot in your heart that will never be untied. I also know that you blame yourself. If you hadn't arranged for the old lady to stay in the clinic, or if you hadn't left halfway that night, would the result be different?"
"But Qiao Xi, there are no ifs in this world."
It has already happened.
She also lost the person who loved her most.
Huo Xingzhou knew she was determined to fight her way to the capital during the needle testing competition and crush those people underfoot. Step by step, she walked up to Lu Yingxue and the Lu family and trampled on the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, which they were so proud of!
Xiang Huai has admitted to the crime of arson in the clinic, and there is no evidence to bring the Lu family to justice.
Lu Bannong, with his numerous students, had built a solid network of contacts and a strong reputation in the imperial capital over the years. Such unfounded accusations could not harm them in the slightest!
Only medical skills!
The Lu family also relied on their medical skills to accumulate many followers, including many wealthy and powerful families.
Qiao Xi has a long way to go to achieve this.
It is not enough to just win first place in the needle testing competition.
That was just the first step in declaring war on the Lu family.
Huo Xingzhou knew very well how difficult and dangerous this road was.
But she knew it was impossible but still did it. That must be because she was extremely determined! Revenge was one reason, but she also had a heart to change the status quo of Traditional Chinese Medicine!
He can't stop it!
I don't want to stop it!
Accompany her on her adventure and reach the top!
He held her fingers, his tone extremely gentle: "You practice medicine, I use trickery. You just focus on defeating them honestly and leaving them speechless, and I will eliminate the hidden tricks behind them."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly, and looked at him with warmth in her eyes.
"Your methods are not cunning or deceitful at all! You are clearly the most polite and decent man in the world. There is nothing shameful about those methods. In short, you are the best in my heart!"
Her voice was choked and her throat was sore.
She looked down at her hands and said, "I hope my hands can be used for more than just healing and saving lives. One day, I can also protect you. I will also avenge grandma. But I will never become a person like Xiang Mingzhu!"
Huo Xingzhou reached out and stroked the side of her face: "I know."
Some people will never change.
He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips gently, tenderly and lovingly.
Again and again.
Nothing too crazy.
Warmth flows in the quiet space.
Qiao Xi's heart was filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement, like a brilliant Milky Way with countless stars lighting up. Every star was saying, "I love the man in front of me."
An impulse came over me.
She reached out and pushed him down hard, leaning over him.
Her hair fell on his skin, scratching like feathers. Her eyes were shining with light, like a vast galaxy.
"Qiao Xi, what do you want to do?" His Adam's apple moved slightly.
Qiao Xi didn't say anything, her hands resting on his chest, her red lips drowning out his voice. She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
The slender, white fingers were almost embedded in the man's muscle lines.
Huo Xingzhou's joints turned pale, and he finally gave in and hugged her tightly, indulging her.
Outside the car window, raindrops as big as beans were hitting the glass.
The sound of cars and rain was noisy.
…
The car slowly drove to the villa in the night.
Qiao Xi hurriedly arranged her clothes and hair and asked Huo Xingzhou, "Does it look normal?"
"That's normal."
They didn't do anything.
The kiss was just a little more intense.
Neither of them was absurd, so how could they do such a thing when there were outsiders in the car? Qiao Xi was affectionate with him all the way, and she was afraid that Lao Chen would misunderstand something, so she deliberately lowered her voice.
Qiao Xi felt much more relieved when she heard him say that.
It was still raining outside, and everything was pitch black. Only the streetlights reflected a dim light in the rain. Old Chen opened the car door and said, "Master, the young mistress has arrived."
Aunt Qian also came out holding an umbrella and said, "Madam, I'll hold the umbrella for you. The rain is so heavy, don't get wet. Oh, Master, why are you not wearing any clothes?"
"It's wet."
Huo Xingzhou said lightly that he couldn't bear to put on the wet clothes again.
"Then hurry home and take a shower. You can't get caught in the rain."
Aunt Qian and Old Chen took the two of them home. Looking at the rain outside, which hadn't let up at all, they said, "I don't know how long this rain will last. Autumn hasn't arrived this early this year, has it?"
The lights in the living room were on.
Qiao Xi noticed the red marks on Huo Xingzhou's cold white skin at a glance, and she winked at him vigorously. But the man didn't notice and poured himself a glass of warm water to drink.
Qiao Xi said anxiously, "Huo Xingzhou, go back to your room and take a shower."
The man put down his glass and said, "Okay."
Aunt Qian raised the corner of her mouth, and her eyes swept across her young master's chest muscles, seeing the red nail marks on them.
How hard did you have to pinch to leave a red mark?
"Master, Madam, please go back to your rooms and change your clothes. I'll go to the kitchen and prepare a soup to ward off the cold. You can come down to eat after you've changed your clothes. Don't catch a cold."
"OK."
Qiao Xi pulled Huo Xingzhou towards the master bedroom on the second floor.
He walked into the room and slammed the door shut.
Only now did she point to his body and say, "Here."
Her nails were a bit long and needed a good trim. It was also because he had white skin due to cold weather; it was very obvious.
When Huo Xingzhou lowered his head, he saw a faint mark that looked like a crescent moon and laughed.
"You're still laughing. Are you doing that on purpose?" Qiao Xi stared at him. "You usually pay the most attention to your appearance. Why did you get off the car in such a disheveled state?"
Huo Xingzhou casually unbuckled his belt, pulled out his belt and put it aside.
As he picked up the towel and walked towards the bathroom, he said, "We're family, why do we need to be so polite?"
"wrong."
Qiao Xi followed and said, "I don't know if Aunt Qian saw it."
Huo Xingzhou's dark eyes were deep: "She must have seen it."
Qiao Xi opened her mouth and looked at him.
"Shower first."
Huo Xingzhou grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the bathroom. "You can have dinner later. Do what you want to do first. It's not convenient in the car. There's no one here."
"Huo Xingzhou! Um..."
The bathroom door was closed by the man.
…
The night grows darker.
On a rainy night without stars or moon, the light from the street lamps seemed even dimmer. From the hidden alleys near Haicheng Hospital, bursts of beatings and unbearable verbal abuse could be heard.
The rain wet the ground.
Washed away the faint blood stain and went into the sewer.
Several people were sprawled on the ground, wailing. A thin, straight figure casually wiped the blood foam from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'll pay you back next month. Don't bother me."
Finished.
He turned and walked towards the alley entrance. The light from the street lamp fell on him, casting an extremely long shadow. He was completely wet, and his clothes stuck to his skin, revealing only the faintest traces of muscle.
A curse came from behind: "Fuck, this sickly guy is fighting like a fool! He has money to treat his mother, but no money to pay off his debts! It hurts so much, how can he be so ruthless! Shen Xuanzhi, you have to pay for my medical expenses!"
Without even turning his head, Shen Xuanzhi said in a hoarse voice filled with the smell of blood: "If you don't have money, ask the King of Hell to compensate you."
His pale cheeks were bruised and he looked seriously injured.
The rain fell on his body, feeling cold and icy, and his whole body felt like it had just been fished out of the water.
He relied on his fearless attitude to defeat a few thugs.
After walking out of the alley, he bent down and coughed violently, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
The rain above my head was suddenly blocked by an umbrella.
