BXBX NOVEL Chapter 509 - 509 She Likes Him and Becomes a Burden
Qiao An’s reminder made Xing Xiaoya very uneasy.
She would always remember that when her father brought Xingchen home, Xingchen was wearing expensive jewelry. She and her father knew that he must be the young master of a rich family, but they had saved him, so they clung to him. They only wanted to selfishly keep Xing Chen with them. For this, they told a huge lie and even moved to a place where no one knew them to live in peace.
Xing Chen naturally did not doubt Father Xing’s words. This was because when he woke up from his coma, Father Xing had spent a lot of in expensive medical fees. He thought that Father Xing had sold everything to save him, but he did not know that they had only sold his assets.
Because Father Xing had “sold everything” to save him, Xing Chen believed that such a noble person would never lie to him, so he became Father Xing’s adopted son.
Qiao An’s guidance only angered Xing Xiaoya. To Xing Chen, it didn’t cause any ripples.
“If Miss Qiao doesn’t believe in my medical skills, you can find another good doctor. However, I’m afraid there’s no good doctor in a radius of a hundred miles. So I advise you to either return to the city quickly or receive our treatment,” Xing Chen said coldly.
Annoyed, Qiao An glared at him angrily.
Xing Chen was slightly stunned by her resentful gaze.
“None of your business.”
Seeing that she was rude to Xing Chen, Xie Cunhua did not treat her kindly. “You have a fever. According to the rules, you should be reported to the confinement area.”
Qiao An looked at her. “Then do it according to the rules.” She had never been selfish, and her mental awareness was not something small-minded people like Xie Cunhua could match.
Xie Cunhua was at a loss. She stared at Xing Chen in confusion.
As Xing Chen looked at the stubborn Qiao An, his eyes were conflicted.
Logically speaking, he should have sent her to the confinement area. But she had just said that her physique was not good, and his heart inexplicably ached.
“If you go to the detention area and catch an unknown infectious disease, it will be worse for your body. So you’ll stay here in detention today. You’re not allowed to go anywhere. Tomorrow, we’ll see how your condition changes. If it gets better, don’t go to detention. If it doesn’t, you have to go to detention.”
Qiao An looked unconcerned.
She was in an extremely bad mood now. She even wanted to die. Would she care about confinement?
She stood up and walked towards her small room.
However, the surrounding villagers disagreed. They resisted fiercely. “Qiao An already has a fever. She has to be sent to the confinement area. Otherwise, what if she infects us?”
Xiao Yue and Qiao He were at a loss.
Xiao Yue called Brother Xiao Ming for help. “Brother Xiao Ming, Sister Qiao An is sick. She has a cold and fever. The villagers here want to send her to the confinement area. What should we do?”
Xiao Ming’s anxious voice came. “Are you sure it’s a cold?”
Xiao Yue said, “I think so. She was in the rain yesterday.”
Xiao Ming said angrily, “How did you watch her?”
Xiao Yue felt aggrieved. “Brother, she’s an adult. Can we still keep her by our side?”
“Tell An’an not to be afraid. I’ll bring a doctor over immediately.”
“Okay.”
Xing Chen glanced at Xiao Yue. The man on the phone’s concern for Qiao An made him inexplicably jealous.
He returned to his room with a dark expression. He was indeed very frustrated.
Did Qiao An have so many admirers? That was true. She was so beautiful and cute. How could no one like her? And among her suitors, he should be the worst, right?
In the past few years, Father Xing had been seriously ill and he had been trapped in these three mud houses. He could not do anything. Now that Father Xing was gone, should he strike out on his own?
However, before he saw Qiao An, he’d never wanted to leave here. He also liked the peaceful spring scenery.
But after seeing Qiao An, he realized that he was beginning to be dissatisfied with the status quo. He only wanted to go to a bigger world and create a bigger world before he could be worthy of Qiao An.
He was frustrated for a moment. He also began to worry about Qiao An’s condition again.
This time, he couldn’t control his heart. He only thought that he had to cure the girl’s condition no matter what. He couldn’t let it develop into something more serious.
That would be too much for her.
Xing Chen took out the medicinal herbs he usually collected and seriously flipped through the medical book on his phone for useful information. It was strange. His absorption ability was astonishing and he had a photographic memory of the knowledge he had read.
It was as if it had always been in his mind.
Then, Xingchen carefully prepared a prescription for Qiao An and boiled the medicinal herbs. This time, he personally sent the potion to her.
Qiao An lay on the bed and stared listlessly at the ceiling.
Hearing the knock on the door, she said listlessly, “Come in.”
Xing Chen walked in with the potion and walked up to her. Seeing that her seaweed-colored hair was naturally loose and her face was frighteningly pale, Xing Chen felt that she looked pitiful.
Xing Chen felt terrible. He held the blanket tightly for her and said gently, “Don’t catch a cold again.”
Qiao An looked over in surprise at his voice.
“What are you doing here?”
“I made you some medicine. Do you want some?”
Qiao An glanced at the potion in his hand and shook her head. “Chinese medicine is slow to take effect. I’d better take Western medicine.”
Xing Chen said, “I made the formula for you. Try drinking it twice and see if it can reduce your fever.”
Qiao An sat up, but she didn’t reach for the bowl. Instead, she brought her mouth close.
Xing Chen was stunned. Was she used to being served?
He had no choice but to feed her himself.
After Qiao An drank the medicine, the bitterness of the Chinese medicine was strong, which made her feel terrible. “Xing Chen, I want to vomit. Is there sugar?”
Xing Chen looked at her uncomfortable expression and said, “Hang on.”
Then he returned to the kitchen and brought her a large rock candy. Qiao An ate it before her stomach felt better.
Star said, “Rest well. Let me know if you need anything.”
Qiao An looked at him affectionately, her eyes bitter and aggrieved. “Xing Chen, can you accompany me for a while?”
Xing Chen was stunned.
He stared at her blankly and saw the tears in her eyes. He sat back down.
Qiao An suddenly smiled like a child.
“Why are you suddenly so cold to me?” she asked him.
Xing Chen said, “Isn’t your motive for approaching me impure?”
Qiao An’s mouth opened…
It was probably Qiao He who had told him that she favored him.
“I like you. Are you alienating me because of that?”
“It’s a burden to me,” Xing Chen said.
Qiao An was dumbfounded.
The man who had begged her to love him now felt that her love was a burden.
“Leave,” Qiao An said bitterly.
If they continued to chat, she was afraid she would break down and cry.
