Chapter 64: Chapter 64 The Whole City Watches Them Passionately Kiss
Huo Xingzhou handed her his phone.
“Take a look for yourself.”
Qiao Xi opened the screen and found the settings, where the emergency contact field was empty.
Her finger caressed the side of the phone as she gathered the courage to look up at him and ask, “Mr. Huo, can I become your emergency contact?”
Huo Xingzhou put down the tablet in his hand, took the phone, and directly entered her number.
Qiao Xi’s lips curved upwards uncontrollably.
“Happy?” There seemed to be a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Qiao Xi looked at him and nodded.
“I’ll be quite busy recently, and after work, I’ll have Old Chen pick you up. With your skills, there’s no need for you to slog in the hospital for seniority.” He felt he was wronging her.
There were all sorts of people in the hospital, and with her character, she would be at a disadvantage.
Qiao Xi felt a warm sensation in her heart, knowing he was looking after her.
“Mr. Huo, I want to get a medical qualification certificate. After enduring a year, I can get it. Now, every time I see patients, Dr. Yan keeps an eye on me, for fear of violating any rules.”
She was so eager to grow up fast.
Huo Xingzhou looked deeply at her.
In fact, as long as Cheng Han was willing to acknowledge her identity, none of those certificates mattered.
The master-disciple tradition was also a nationally recognized method, and having been by Cheng Han’s side since she was young, she had long met the required duration.
Therefore, she also qualified to diagnose patients on her own long ago.
The car headed in the opposite direction.
Qiao Xi, observing the unfamiliar road signs outside the window, asked, “Mr. Huo, where are we going?”
“I’m taking you to experience the luxury of the upper class, to see if it’s the same as what you’ve seen in TV dramas,” he said.
Qiao Xi didn’t expect him to remember what she had said.
She was wearing very casual clothes. Was she really suitable to enter such places?
Would she embarrass him?
Soon, she realized she was thinking incorrectly.
The most famous revolving restaurant in the center of Haicheng City had been booked out.
The top floor was very quiet, only specific waitstaff were present. The lighting was soft and romantic, and the décor very luxurious. Giant windows provided a view of Haicheng’s bustling night scene and the moon that had just risen in the distance.
The revolving restaurant’s interior mechanism allowed it to rotate, completing one revolution every hour.
In that hour, one could appreciate Haicheng’s night scene from every angle, a full 360 degrees.
A long table.
Candlelight.
And an elaborate arrangement of flowers decorating the table.
Qiao Xi recognized this as the legendary candlelit dinner, with a violin performance on the side.
“The same?”
Huo Xingzhou, sitting in his wheelchair, asked softly.
Qiao Xi nodded, “The same.”
But the scenes from the television dramas seemed to lack the impact of tonight.
The waitstaff served dishes and poured red wine softly, then withdrew.
“Mr. Huo, is tonight a special occasion?”
“It’s the first day of operation for Tianyuan Building. I just wanted to celebrate with you,” he said seriously.
Qiao Xi struggled to control her emotions as her heartbeat grew louder.
Huo Xingzhou picked up his knife and fork and elegantly sliced the steak. His fingers were beautiful, everything he did exuded grace.
He passed the plate in his hand to Qiao Xi, “I know you don’t like rare food, so I ordered it well-done for you.”
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said, “But isn’t eating a steak well-done considered very unsophisticated?”
Huo Xingzhou smiled slightly with eyes downcast, “Who defined that? Qiao Xi, being yourself is enough.”
Qiao Xi fixated on him, the warmth in her heart nearly spilling over.
She pretended to pick up the glass of red wine and took a large gulp.
But the more she drank, the thirstier she became.
A voice in her head told her that she had fallen.
But a sourness emerged within her for no reason. Could she really have a man like that?
She was so greedy.
The violinist at the edge of the dining table changed to a new piece, “A Step Away.”
Qiao Xi didn’t understand music, but she always remembered the “A Step Away” from the university appreciation class. It was a very famous tango that spoke of the indissoluble entanglement between lovers.
Were she and Mr. Huo only a step away? It was more likely a hundred steps.
Suddenly.
A large shadow fell beside her, and as she looked up, she saw Huo Xingzhou standing next to her.
“Mr. Huo, why are you standing…”
“It’s fine, they won’t gossip.”
Huo Xingzhou took her hand and pulled her to the French window, saying, “From the restaurant’s angle, you can see the Tianyuan Group’s building.”
Qiao Xi turned her head and slowly looked outside.
Across the river, the most conspicuous building was Tianyuan Group, with an entire facade of glass curtain wall displays. Usually, such large screens are for advertising or showing the time to wake up the city.
Red letters dazzled, and the image changed.
On it was the line: “At four in the morning, I saw the begonia flowers not yet asleep.”
Qiao Xi’s red lips parted slightly as she slowly turned to look at Huo Xingzhou.
In that instant, all her heartache washed away.
“Mr. Huo, may I hug you?”
She boldly threw herself into Huo Xingzhou’s arms and clung tightly to his waist.
“Little Divine Doctor, this isn’t a question but rather a notification,” he said, his Adam’s apple moving.
Qiao Xi rubbed her cheek against his chest and cheekily said, “I’m just following your example.”
The man suddenly lowered his head.
They were very close, and his handsome and pale face was exceptionally clear.
Qiao Xi instinctively looked up at him, and dark shades flowed in his pitch-black pupils.
He tentatively touched the corner of her eye with his thin lips. His actions seemed slowed down as he gently kissed the tip of her nose.
“Qiao Xi, the aftereffects of Deer Blood Wine seem pretty strong.”
He was lying!
Qiao Xi thought hazily. It had been two days since they drank the Deer Blood Wine, the aftereffects couldn’t be that strong.
But as his words ended, his actions became intense, capturing her red lips and sucking the oxygen from her lungs.
She was pressed against the French window, kissed fiercely, just like in the days before.
Qiao Xi’s mind seemed dull, yet she remembered the vulgar words Sun Weimeng had said.
High-floor French windows, one-way glass, the more thrilling, the better.
Could they be watched doing this? The more Qiao Xi thought about it, the more nervous she became.
“Mr. Huo, this glass…”
“Two-way glass.”
Two-way glass meant whatever they did could be seen.
The revolving restaurant was still operating, slowly rotating, and they could be seen from 360 degrees. Also, the waitstaff in the restaurant…
Qiao Xi’s ears reddened drip blood, as she had never done something so bold and out of line.
“Mr. Huo… We’ll be seen.”
“Let them see.”
Sometimes Huo Xingzhou was very obstinate, especially when being affectionate. He seemed to have installed a radar on her, knowing whether she was willing or not.
Unable to refuse, Qiao Xi resignedly closed her eyes, letting him do this and that.
She was happy.
Very happy.
At four in the morning, I saw the begonia flowers not yet asleep.
The next line is, “I always feel that at this moment, you should be by my side,” from an essay by Kawabata Yasunari.
She had read it.
This night, Tianyuan officially settled in Haicheng, a special day in his life.
The person he hoped to be by his side was her.
Qiao Xi stood on tiptoe, her naive kiss landing on the red mole on his neck, causing the man’s body to tremble slightly.
What do you think?
