Lan Jiaojiao didn’t see Qin Yi and walked straight to the table in the corner, putting down the dical box.
"Jiaojiao, shall we go sowhere nicer to eat? The environnt here is really poor and unhygienic." The young man frowned, dissatisfied with the shop’s surroundings.
"We need to fill our stomachs and get back on the road. When you’re out, you can’t be so particular. If you mind, go find a better restaurant yourself," Lan Jiaojiao said lightly, then shouted to the busy boss in the kitchen, "I’ll have a fried noodle."
The young man said, "You’re just eating that? At least order a few dishes. Even when you are out, you shouldn’t mistreat your stomach."
"I’m not as pampered as you, just being full is enough. Besides, we still need to hit the road, no ti to waste."
The young man looked helpless, turned around and shouted towards the kitchen, "Boss, another serving of fried noodles."
Qin Yi sighed slightly, Lan Jiaojiao had changed; the Lan Jiaojiao who once elegantly drank coffee and ate steak in a cafe now settled for a simple plate of fried noodles.
The young man went to the counter to grab two disposable cups and poured two cups of tea, "What kind of tea is this? There’s no color, who knows how many tis it’s been brewed. Don’t drink it, I’ll go out and buy water."
Lan Jiaojiao didn’t say anything, picked up the so-called tea which was even blander than plain water, and drank it.
The young man was stunned, and said helplessly, "Jiaojiao, I really don’t understand why a girl like you prefers to wander around, exposed to the elents. This ti when you go back, don’t leave again, let take care of you."
"Lei Xiao, I’ve already told you, you’re not my type, don’t waste ti on ," Lan Jiaojiao said flatly.
Lei Xiao gave a bitter smile, "I know, you don’t need to say it again, it’s hurtful. But I believe sincerity breaks down barriers. You may not like , but I have the right to like you."
"You love going from village to village, helping people practice dicine. I’ll accompany you. I may not be able to help with much else, but I can protect you."
Lan Jiaojiao was silent for a mont, "Lei Xiao, it’s really unnecessary. It’s fruitless."
"How do you know if you haven’t tried? You might fall for , feelings are unpredictable."
Lan Jiaojiao said indifferently, "I won’t."
Lei Xiao looked defeated, with a bitter smile.
In no ti, the noodles were served.
"Boss, do you have disposable chopsticks?" Lei Xiao asked.
The boss shook his head.
Lei Xiao frowned slightly, there were chopsticks on the table, inserted into a cut-over drink canister, looking unhygienic.
But Lan Jiaojiao had already picked up the chopsticks, wiped them with a tissue, and started eating.
"Eat quickly, if I finish eating, I won’t wait for you."
Lei Xiao picked up the chopsticks, wiped them, and began eating with a face full of disdain, putting them down after just a few bites, the taste was really poor.
Qin Yi watched Lan Jiaojiao as she ate her noodles in big mouthfuls, making him recall roasting a rabbit on the top of the Dragon Mountain Range, without salt, and Lan Jiaojiao ate with delight just like now.
After all, Lan Jiaojiao was a Qi Refiner, and with her sharp senses, she noticed soone watching her and instinctively turned her head to glance.
Upon seeing that familiar face, Lan Jiaojiao froze.
She hadn’t expected to see Qin Yi here.
Lei Xiao noticed that Lan Jiaojiao suddenly stopped and was staring blankly in a certain direction, so he looked over curiously.
He saw Qin Yi smiling at Lan Jiaojiao, and his brow creased in dislike.
Qin Yi stood up and walked over, smiling at Lan Jiaojiao, "Long ti no see."
Lan Jiaojiao was stunned for a long while, awkwardly swallowing the noodles in her mouth, and said a bit nervously, "Long ti no see."
Lei Xiao was very unhappy because this was the first ti he had seen Lan Jiaojiao flustered, and it was because of a man.
Could it be that Lan Jiaojiao kept rejecting him because of this man?
Lei Xiao scrutinized Qin Yi, he was handso and carried an extraordinary deanor. However, there was no flow of Qi around him, just an ordinary person, not a match for Lan Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, do you know him?" Lei Xiao intentionally addressed her intimately.
Lan Jiaojiao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Qin Yi glanced at Lei Xiao, then looked at Lan Jiaojiao and smiled, "Your friend?"
"Acquaintance!"
Lei Xiao was very disappointed, he hadn’t expected that was all he was in Lan Jiaojiao’s eyes, just an acquaintance.
"Hello, Lei Xiao!"
"Qin Yi!"
Qin Yi replied with a smile.
However, Lei Xiao looked at Qin Yi with eyes full of vigilance, that was the look given to a love rival.
Qin Yi naturally understood Lei Xiao’s thoughts, but he didn’t expose him because it wasn’t necessary, he wouldn’t waste words with a stranger.
Lan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yi, "What are you doing here?"
"Running so errands! Didn’t expect to run into you here, a pleasant surprise you could say."
Lan Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up with a hint of delight, glad that Qin Yi was happy to see her.
Soon after, Lan Jiaojiao asked quietly, "Is Mr. Xia... okay?"
"Quite good! Actually, no one blad you, so don’t overthink it. Xiaobing even asked to bring you back."
Lan Jiaojiao’s pretty face darkened, "No matter what, it was because of that your child was lost."
Lei Xiao’s eyes brightened, child? Qin Yi is married?
Qin Yi didn’t notice Lei Xiao’s reaction and looked at Lan Jiaojiao helplessly, "Don’t be so stubborn. Really, no one blas you. If we have to bla soone, it’s because I was too soft-hearted, which gave the Diao Family the chance to retaliate."
"Alright, stop taking all the responsibility on yourself. The matter is over, let’s not speak of it again. Co back with ? After you suddenly left, I couldn’t find anyone to chat with freely."
Lan Jiaojiao laughed, "So pitiful?"
Qin Yi shrugged, "Exactly, chatting with Liu Zhanyuan and them, they’re always so cautious, it’s not enjoyable at all."
"Well, I can’t help that, they regard you as a god. But I can’t go back now, the people here need . You don’t know, so villages have such poor dical conditions that I need to help them."
Qin Yi fell silent, unable to stop Lan Jiaojiao from practicing dicine and saving lives.
"Don’t worry, I’m doing quite well now. But I think I will go back one day."
"By the way, what are you doing here?"
Qin Yi smiled, "It’s a trivial matter, just going to kill a few people."
Lan Jiaojiao opened her mouth and rolled her eyes speechlessly, killing a few people counted as trivial? Of course, with Qin Yi’s skills, killing people really wasn’t a big deal.
However, Lei Xiao showed utter disdain, you being an ordinary person, bragging in front of ? Killing a few people, I bet you couldn’t even kill a chicken.
Lan Jiaojiao checked the ti and said, "Qin Yi, I can’t talk to you for long, I still have to rush for a patient’s follow-up check."
"Lan Jiaojiao, I won’t force you to co back with . But I still owe you sothing, and I need to give it to you."
Lan Jiaojiao laughed, "I’m afraid I can’t right now, I’m really pressed for ti. Will you pass through here again after your business is done?"
Qin Yi nodded.
"Then how long will it take for you to finish your business?"
Qin Yi’s mouth twitched slightly, how co the question sounded so strange?
