Chapter 471 Didn’t you accompany me enough last night?

Qiao Xi paused in the bathroom.

She had just taken a hot shower and was completely naked.

Hearing the noise, she quickly wiped the water droplets on her body, changed her clothes and then opened the door.

She raised her eyes to look at the tall man standing at the bathroom door and blinked her wet eyelashes, "Do you want to wash up?"

"Um."

The man's lips curled up into a faint smile.

Qiao Xi looked at him casually wearing a bathrobe without even a belt tied around his waist, revealing a large area of ​​his body.

This is no different from having no clothes on.

Qiao Xi didn't dare to look any further and just said, "Then I'll squeeze some toothpaste for you."

She picked up the tube of ice mint toothpaste, squeezed it onto the newly opened toothbrush, and then handed it to Huo Xingzhou.

The small bathroom is filled with warmth.

Huo Xingzhou took the toothpaste, put on his bathrobe and stood in front of the mirror to wash. Qiao Xi turned around to leave, but he reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Stay with me for a while."

Qiao Xi murmured softly, "Didn't you spend enough time with me last night?"

The man glanced at her in the mirror and said, "You were making a fuss about turning off the lights. I didn't see enough of you."

Qiao Xi blushed: "You are just going too far!"

Huo Xingzhou had a smile on his handsome face. After rinsing his mouth, he wiped the corners of his lips with a white towel.

"Where did I go wrong? I just wanted to make your wish come true, didn't I?"

"What a dream! There's nothing that can come true!"

Qiao Xi stared at him with her round eyes, "My dreams are nothing like yours."

Huo Xingzhou put the towel aside and put his arms around her waist: "Then tell me now, how did I treat you in your dream? Could I bear not to kiss you, hug you, and touch you?"

Qiao Xi bit her lip and remained speechless.

Huo Xingzhou lowered his head and kissed her tender red lips, tentatively deepening the kiss.

Qiao Xi slowly closed her eyes and raised her head to meet him.

Minty kiss.

When his hand went down, Qiao Xi suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his big hand: "How about tonight?"

Huo Xingzhou buried his head in her neck, sniffed deeply and replied, "Okay."

Men find it more difficult to control themselves in the morning.

"Oops!"

Qiao Xi exclaimed in surprise, "I forgot one thing."

Lust makes one lose one’s mind!

She clearly took it to heart last night.

"What is it?"

"I promised Master Guan that I would look through the book on Plum Blossom Nine Needles." Qiao Xi pushed his chest, "I'm going to get down to business."

Qiao Xi trotted out of the bathroom and took out the yellowed copy of "Nine Needles of Plum Blossom" from the bedside table.

She flipped through the pages one by one and found nothing unusual.

Could their guess be wrong?

Huo Xingzhou changed his clothes and walked over to her side. Seeing her frowning face, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Xi turned around and looked at him while sitting on the sofa. "Yesterday I went to the Guan family's birthday banquet. Old Master Guan called me to the study alone and said he had met Master Cheng. Master Cheng told him that I know the Lingshu Nine Needles and will be able to cure his foolish grandson within three years."

Huo Xingzhou sat beside her and said, "But you only know how to do the Plum Blossom Nine Needles."

"Yes, I don't know how to use Lingshu Nine Needles at all. It's a lost acupuncture method, and everyone wants to see it. But Master Guan said that Master Cheng left me a message, saying that I would learn it if I read Plum Blossom Nine Needles more. So Master Guan guessed that there was a secret in this ancient medical book."

This book "Nine Needles of Plum Blossom" may contain shocking secrets!

But Qiao Xi couldn't see anything.

Huo Xingzhou reached out and took the medical book, gently flipping through it and feeling the thickness of the pages. This medical book looked like someone had been reading it frequently, and there were some wrinkles on the corners of the pages.

"This book, Plum Blossom Nine Needles, is also an ancient medical book that has been passed down for a hundred years. There were many skilled craftsmen in ancient times, some of whom could even carve hundreds of words on a grain of rice. Some people even hid their treasures in the layers of the book, so you can't see anything special."

Huo Xingzhou rubbed the page gently with his fingertips, "This page is harder than the others."

"Really?"

Qiao Xi reached out to touch the middle page of the book, and had to be very careful to feel a slight difference.

The paper is indeed a little harder.

"Really? You mean there's something hidden in here? But we can't get it out."

"Leave professional matters to professionals."

Huo Xingzhou reached out and tapped Qiao Xi's nose, "Don't forget what the Liu family is most famous for."

The jewelry store of the Liu family is filled with countless treasures!

There are also many masters with outstanding skills, each with their own traditions. Among them, a very famous cultural relic restorer is at Liujia Jewelry Shop.

They usually deal with antiques, calligraphy, and jewelry, and are most likely to uncover the secret of "Nine Needles of Plum Blossom".

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said, "But I can't give the Plum Blossom Nine Needles to others. It can only be done under my nose. This is also the hard work of Master Cheng, the inheritance of Cheng's acupuncture."

"I'll call the Liu family and ask them to send their best cultural relic restorer to the imperial capital."

"Thank you."

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, stroked the medical book and said.

Who would have thought that there were secrets in this book? If the Lingshu Nine Needles were really hidden inside... Qiao Xi's heartbeat quickened.

Once Lingshu Nine Needles appears in the world, it will definitely cause a stir.

By the way, Mr. Guan is still waiting for her to call back.

"Where's my phone?"

She looked around but didn't see any cell phone. Last night was so chaotic that her memory was fuzzy.

Huo Xingzhou took out his cell phone from the drawer of the bedside table and handed it to her.

Qiao Xi took it and pressed it, but the screen turned black.

"Why is it turned off?"

As soon as she asked the question and saw the man's half-smile, she understood instantly.

How can you ensure that no one will disturb you all night if you don’t turn off your phone?

Qiao Xi silently turned on her cell phone, took out the business card from her bag and entered the contact number.

Just as she was about to dial the number, she hesitated.

"Honey, should we be honest with Master Guan about this?" The thing hasn't been found, and who can guarantee that the other party has no selfish motives?

Did Master Cheng really go looking for him?

The Guan family did not take sides in the imperial capital, and Grandpa Cheng had never mentioned anything about the imperial capital to her before.

Qiao Xi had many doubts in her heart. If someone already knew the secret of the Plum Blossom Nine Needles, they would be waiting for her...

Huo Xingzhou rubbed her hair, feeling somewhat relieved: "Finally you have grown up."

"Do you think it's inappropriate?"

"Qiao Xi, the imperial capital is a mixed bag. Some people who look kind may not be good people, and some people who look vicious may not be bad people. Don't let the news leak out before you find something."

Qiao Xi nodded, "I understand."

There is also a possibility that there is nothing in this medical book.

She gave Guan Laozi hope again, but he would be even more disappointed and perhaps even have conflicts and rifts.

So this call cannot be made.

Since the other party didn't answer her call, he naturally knew that there was nothing abnormal in the medical book.

Huo Xingzhou held her hand and said, "Let's go downstairs for lunch. Accompany me to a place in the afternoon. I have brought some things for someone to hand over."

"oh."

Qiao Xi didn't ask what it was, because she would know it in the afternoon anyway.
