Chapter 587 Who has lived in Moon Village?
Qiao Xi smiled as she looked at the laptop camera and said, "Are you afraid Shu Xue will be the next Xie Liuzheng? When a woman starts a career, she really doesn't have a man in her heart."
Shu Xue and Zhou Yu have been going around in circles until now, but their relationship has not been finalized.
Shu Xue followed the medical team to Africa and seemed to have gradually regained her self-esteem which had been frustrated by Xie Liuzheng.
"Sister-in-law! Don't curse me. My feelings can't stand it any longer." Zhou Yu deliberately made a joke to divert Qiao Xi's attention. "The last time I flew to Africa, I proposed to Shu Xue."
Qiao Xi hadn't heard Shu Xue mention it, so she asked curiously, "Did she agree?"
"She refused, saying she needed to return to China after the aid mission to Africa to see how I performed."
Shu Xue once begged Zhou Yu to marry her, but he refused.
Now it was his turn to feel it.
Qiao Xi teased him deliberately: "Isn't this just what you want? You didn't want to get married before."
"Sister-in-law, please forgive me. It's all my fault for being too young back then. Now it's like chasing a wife to the crematorium." Zhou Yu said with a playful smile, "But when are you and Huo Er planning to have a baby?"
When the issue of having children was mentioned, Qiao Xi turned and glanced at Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou held her hand, pulled her into his arms and sat her down, saying, "Let fate take its course when it comes to having children."
He looked at Zhou Yu calmly and said, "You should focus more on proposing. Don't let Shu Xue fall for someone else by then. I remember there are many young talents in the medical aid team to Africa. They are very good in all aspects."
"Huo Er! You know how to hurt my heart. I won't chat with you anymore."
Zhou Yu hung up the video call directly.
The study became quiet.
Qiao Xi sat on Huo Xingzhou's thighs, the tip of her nose filled with the warmth of the soup and the faint cool fragrance of his body.
She suppressed her chaotic thoughts and said, "I see you haven't eaten dinner, so I made this noodle soup for you. My cooking skills may not be as good as Xiaoyuan's, but you can try it."
Huo Xingzhou gently pinched the back of her hand, his brows melting like ice and snow: "You cook for me? Your right arm is still injured. Don't do it next time."
"I feel like the wound has scabbed over, so it doesn't hurt that much anymore. I can usually do these things, and the recipe for the Jade Muscle Cream is really effective."
"Let Sun Weimeng grind the Chinese medicinal herbs for you tomorrow."
"Why do you always order others around?" Qiao Xi reached out and tugged at his tie, "Can't you grind it for me yourself?"
"Can."
Huo Xingzhou leaned over her shoulder and took a deep breath with some fatigue.
Qiao Xi nudged him and said, "Eat something first. I won't bother you anymore. I still have to study Lingshu Nine Needles. Time waits for no one. When I join the Chinese Medicine Association, there might be another storm."
She stood up from his arms, but Huo Xingzhou grabbed her wrist.
The man's deep eyes looked at her and said, "Qiao Xi, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Although this is the imperial capital, I will do my best to protect you. I don't know any medical skills, nor do I have any connections in this field. The only way is to start with business. Once we control the Chinese herbal medicine market... I should be able to protect you to some extent."
Qiao Xi's eyes sparkled: "You are so nice, it makes me feel guilty."
"I was the one who dragged you into this situation. If it weren't for my legs being treated, you and Grandpa Cheng would probably still be living in hiding and living peacefully. You wouldn't have experienced so many dangers."
Huo Xingzhou's voice was low and had an inexplicable texture.
Qiao Xi got so excited that she almost blurted out the questions in her mind.
But the words were on the tip of my tongue, but I held them back.
She collected her thoughts and said, "Hurry up and eat your noodles. After you finish your work, go to bed early."
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the study and closed the door gently.
Qiao Xi looked back at the closed door and curled her fingers into fists.
Her heart was pounding.
She heard what Zhou Yu said!
Every few words that reached her ears were as shocking as thunder in spring!
Zhou Yu said, "He also lived in Moon Village before."
Qiao Xi covered her chest, trying to suppress her strange feelings.
Those inexplicable guesses came to mind...
Who lived in Moon Village in the past?
She only heard half of the sentence.
Who are Zhou Yu and Xingzhou talking about?
Considering the unusual things she had noticed recently, these words were like a thunderclap in springtime, a stone dropped into her heart, sending ripples through it, unable to calm down.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and suppressed it hard.
Confucius does not speak of strange things!
The education system she received was based on materialism based on material foundations, not on vague speculations.
Despite those speculations, she was about to waver!
At this moment, the phone vibrated.
She looked down and saw that it was a text message from Xu Yunye, with surprise flashing in her eyes.
Those facts that were about to be established were overturned again.
He said that the doctor who treated the teenager at that time had retired long ago, and the medical records that were found did prove that the teenager had died from a ruptured organ after falling from a height.
Xu Yunye also said that he checked through the Liu family's channels, but no one found any traces.
Qiao Xi's heart suddenly turned cold.
She walked along the dimly lit corridor, feeling only a thick fog.
…
In the study.
Huo Xingzhou picked up the chopsticks with his slender fingers. The bowl of noodle soup was just the right temperature.
He lowered his head and took a bite.
The first bite is full of the flavor of fireworks, and the seasoning is very simple. It looks light, but the chopped green onions sprinkled on it are particularly fragrant, and there is a fried egg on top.
If Xiaoyuan and Aunt Qian were to make this noodle, they would have many more variations. The soup base would definitely be beef bone broth or chicken broth, and the noodles would definitely be freshly made, with the right amount of moisture and firmness.
The cooking time of noodles is also strictly controlled.
Huo Xingzhou smiled faintly. This bowl of noodles was as simple as Qiao Xi. Any tricks would emerge on the surface.
Noodles cooked with plain water only have a fragrant aroma.
The thoughts that she tried so hard to hide also surfaced.
The phone beside him lit up. It was Zhou Yu's reply: "The doctor who treated Zhong Yi back then has already been arranged and has created a fake resume. No one can find it. Trying to verify Zhong Yi's identity through this channel is hopeless."
Huo Xingzhou replied briefly with an "OK".
…
The next morning.
It was a rare occasion for Qiao Xi to rest at home, and the Zhong family called to say that she didn't have to go to study today.
After a night of rest, Huo Sijiao was able to walk normally even with her sprain.
She saw Xiaoyuan changing Qiao Xi's dressing in the living room, so she sat aside with her chin in her hand and watched.
Qiao Xi smiled and asked, "Where's Young Master Sun?"
"I went to run into Guan Jingtan early this morning, didn't I? I heard Guan Jingtan went to watch a figure skating competition. I was so excited to run into her, but he didn't even dare to ask her out. What a coward!"
Huo Sijiao criticized bluntly.
Qiao Xi's mouth curled up. The eldest and second brothers should not look down on each other.
She put the gauze in her hand aside.
Huo Sijiao looked at her arm and screamed, "Sister-in-law, your hand..."
