Chapter 397 You are the best in my heart

Qiao Xi turned her head and looked at him in a daze.

Her fingertips were warm.

Huo Xingzhou raised his head and said with his thin lips: "I know that grandma's death is a knot in your heart that you will never be able to untie. I also know that you are blaming 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 her most beloved relative.

Huo Xingzhou knew that she was determined to kill her way to the imperial capital in the needle testing conference and trample those people under her feet. She walked step by step to Lu Yingxue and the Lu family and trampled on the Thirteen Ghost Needles that 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, who has many students, has built up a solid network of contacts and a great reputation in the imperial capital over the years. Such an unfounded accusation cannot hurt them at all!

Only medicine!

The Lu family also accumulated a lot of followers through their medical skills, including many wealthy and powerful people.

Qiao Xi has a long way to go to achieve this.

It is not enough to just win the 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 a huge determination! Revenge was one reason, and another was a desire to change the status quo of Chinese medicine!

He can't stop it!

I don’t want to stop it!

Accompany her on an adventure and reach the top!

He held her fingers and spoke very gently: "You practice medicine, and I practice trickery. You only care about winning them fair and square, leaving them speechless, and I will clear up the unorthodox practices behind them."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly, and looked at him with warmth in her eyes.

"Your methods are not cunning or devious at all! You are obviously the most polite and decent man in the world. There is nothing shameful about those methods. Anyway, you are the best in my heart!"

Her voice was choked and her throat felt sore.

She looked down at her hands and said, "I hope my hands are not only used to heal illnesses and save lives. One day, I can also protect you. I will also avenge my grandmother. But I will never become a person like Xiang Mingzhu!"

Huo Xingzhou reached out and stroked her cheek: "I know."

Some people never go bad.

He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips gently, tenderly.

Again and again.

Nothing too crazy.

Warmth flows in the quiet space.

An uncontrollable joy and excitement grew in Qiao Xi's heart, like a bright galaxy belt, lighting up countless stars. Every star was saying that they loved the man in front of them.

An impulse swept over me.

She reached out and pushed him down hard, leaning over him.

Her hair fell on his skin, ruffling like feathers. Her eyes were shining with light, like a galaxy of stars.

"Qiao Xi, what do you want to do?" His Adam's apple moved slightly.

Qiao Xi didn't say anything, but rested her hands on his chest, drowning out his voice with her red lips. She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

The slender, white fingers were almost embedded in the man's muscular lines.

Huo Xingzhou's joints turned white, and he finally gave in and hugged her tightly, tolerating her.

Outside the car window, raindrops as big as beans were hitting the glass.

The sound of cars and rain is noisy.

…

The car slowly drove to the small 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.

It was just a more intense kiss.

Neither of them was absurd, and they would never do such a thing when there were strangers 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 this.

It was still raining outside, and it was pitch black. Only the street lights reflected a vague light in the rain. Old Chen opened the car door and said, "Master, the young lady is here."

Aunt Qian also came out holding an umbrella and said, "Madam, I'll hold the umbrella for you. The rain is too heavy, don't get wet. Hey, Master, why are you not wearing any clothes?"

"Wet."

Huo Xingzhou said lightly that he couldn't bear to put on those wet clothes again.

"Then hurry home and take a shower. You can't get wet in the rain."

Aunt Qian and Lao Chen welcomed the two of them home. Looking at the rain outside which was still falling, they said, "We don't know how long this rain will last. It's not like autumn has arrived this early this year."

The lights in the living room were on.

Qiao Xi saw the red marks on Huo Xingzhou's cold white skin at a glance, and she winked at him. But the man didn't notice it and poured a glass of warm water to drink.

Qiao Xi said in a hurry: "Huo Xingzhou, go back to your room and take a shower."

The man put down his glass and said, "Okay."

Aunt Qian's lips curled up, her eyes swept across her young master's chest muscles, and she saw the red nail marks there.

How hard do 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 to prepare a soup to ward off the cold. You can come downstairs to eat after you change 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 then did she point at his body and say, "Here."

Her nails were a little long and needed a trim. It was also his fault that he had white skin, which 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 a disheveled state?"

Huo Xingzhou casually unbuckled his belt, pulled out the belt and put it aside.

While picking up the towel and walking towards the bathroom, he said, "We are family, why do we need to be so polite?"

"No."

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.

"Take a shower first."

Huo Xingzhou held 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.

There were no stars or moon on the rainy night, and the light from the street lamps seemed even dimmer. From the hidden alleys near Haicheng Hospital, there were bursts of beatings and unbearable cursing.

The rain wet the ground.

Flushed the faint blood stain down the drain.

Several people were lying on the ground wailing. A thin, straight figure wiped the blood foam from the corner of his mouth and said, "I will pay back the money next month. Don't bother me."

Finished.

He turned and walked towards the alley. The light from the street lamp fell on him, casting a very long shadow. He was soaked to the skin, and his clothes stuck to his skin, and he could only see the faint muscle lines.

A curse came from behind: "Fuck, this sickly guy is just fighting for his life! If you have money, use it to treat my mother, but if you don't have money, use it to pay off your debts! It hurts me so much, you are so ruthless! Shen Xuanzhi, you have to pay for my medical expenses!"

Shen Xuanzhi didn't even turn his head, and said in a hoarse voice with a hint of blood: "If you don't have money, ask King Yan for compensation."

His pale cheeks were bruised and looked badly injured.

The rain fell on his body, so cold that he felt as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

He was able to defeat those thugs only by relying on his fearless attitude.

After walking out of the alley, he bent down, squatted down and coughed violently, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

The rain above my head was suddenly blocked by an umbrella.
