Chapter 26: Xie Qiang, Have You No Shame?
Why take it back? Disgusted suddenly again?
Sure enough, she only changed her attitude toward him for some other purpose. In reality, deep down, she still looked down on him, this defective product.
Sen Ji’s mood was heavy, his heart feeling like it was being wrung by chains. He withdrew his hand calmly, maintaining superficial dignity. The pads of his fingers tapped on the table one after another, but the rhythm-less beat exposed his true emotions.
Xie Qiang coughed lightly, trying hard to focus on Sen Ji’s wrist.
Actually, she knew some Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pulse reading.
She was abandoned by her biological parents as a child and adopted by her foster father. Her foster father was well-off, but because of a serious car accident in his early years and his busy career, his health was much weaker than ordinary people.
She felt very sorry for her foster father and vowed to study medicine from a young age. Although her foster father spent little time with her, he always supported her dreams and bought her a Da Vinci surgical robot without a second word.
Later, she learned that TCM treats the root cause and wanted to learn it. Her foster father immediately spent a huge sum to hire several very formidable old TCM doctors in the country to take turns teaching her.
He even bought her several plots of land specifically to grow various Chinese herbs, saying that home-grown ones were safer to eat.
Xie Qiang was helpless too. She heard that her foster father’s outrageous doting behavior was hereditary.
Recently, she had been testing pulse reading on Sentinels and found that the pulse patterns were largely similar, just that the pulse strength was several times stronger than ordinary people.
Xie Qiang felt the rhythm of Sen Ji’s pulse. “Commander Sen, have you been drinking a lot of strong tea and coffee recently?”
Sen Ji’s gaze suddenly fell on her, carrying a trace of sharpness. “How do you know?”
It’s all because of her, causing him to toss and turn at night, unable to sleep at all.
Is this her goal? To make him sleep poorly so his mania level rises, forcing him to beg her for purification again?
“Is it because you always have nightmares and wake up in shock at night, so you don’t want to fall asleep?” Xie Qiang looked up at him with clear eyes, her voice soft but comforting to the ear. “Is it because the mania level is too high?”
SSS-class Sentinels had more sensitive senses than S-class Sentinels, making them mentally more fragile. The higher the mania level, the harder it was to stay calm, and the easier it was to become irritable.
Given the villainess’s sharp and provocative words and actions, not being hacked to death by a crazed Sen Ji was truly a testament to his strong endurance.
Out of concern for a patient, Xie Qiang kindly suggested, “How about Commander Sen comes to my room every night before sleep to do…”
Her fingertips hit empty air. Sen Ji stood up abruptly and backed away several steps. He raised his arm to block his lips, his voice incredibly angry. “Xie Qiang, have you no shame?”
Xie Qiang: ?
What did I do now!
“Sometimes I really don’t understand what exactly you want to do!” Seeing Xie Qiang still pretending to be confused, Sen Ji clenched his fist, flung his sleeve fiercely to the side, and turned toward the office door. “Do you think just because I’m your fiancé, you can casually… don’t even think about it!”
Xie Qiang was completely confused, not understanding where Sen Ji’s anger came from. She couldn’t help shouting a bit louder, “If you don’t have time at night, coming in the morning is fine too! If that really doesn’t work, noon is okay too! Sen Ji, don’t hide your sickness from the doctor; you have to be responsible for your body!”
“Stop talking!”
The man’s ears were red enough to bleed; he was practically dying of shame and indignation. He turned back and glared fiercely at Xie Qiang. “Every day at noon, I will come to the office on time to accept purification!”
After speaking, he opened the door and walked away quickly.
Xie Qiang scratched her head, sighing a little that the Sentinels here were really emotionally volatile.
Forget it, let’s work first!
Xie Qiang began purifying Sentinels conscientiously. Only for some reason, the Sentinels today seemed to have exceptionally burning and gossipy eyes. Someone even asked her when they could eat her and Sen Ji’s wedding candy.
Xie Qiang answered very rigorously, “You have to ask Commander Sen about this. If he is unwilling…”
You’ll only get to eat wedding candy from me and someone else.
The Sentinels: Oh~~~
So it depends on when Commander Sen can be coaxed before they get married and distribute wedding candy~
Sure enough, ‘Chasing Husband to the Crematorium’ is the best to watch! The novels didn’t deceive me. When will we meet a Guide who is tsundere but devoted to us!!!
After work that day, Mo Yin brought the lunch box to deliver food as usual, but this time, there was another person beside him.
“Big Red?”
Xie Qiang blinked her big eyes. “Why are you here?”
Didn’t he always hide in the corner secretly and never come in? If she hadn’t learned from a Guide that Hong Que borrowed blankets every day without returning them, she really wouldn’t know this guy said one thing but meant another, acting like he couldn’t be bothered with her on the surface but actually worrying about her safety.
“Hmph!” Hong Que crossed his arms with a cold face. “Do you think I’m jealous!”
He waited all afternoon, watching the rumors ferment into “After the Princess succeeds the throne, she will establish Sen Ji as the First Husband of the State and be a couple for life,” yet he didn’t see Xie Qiang come out to dispel the rumors.
Did she think allowing rumors to spread like this would make him jealous?
Keep dreaming!
“Why is he acting weird?” Xie Qiang pointed at Hong Que, who was posing, and asked Mo Yin in confusion.
Mo Yin glanced at Hong Que, said nothing, and immersed himself in the world of “how to arrange a dozen lunch boxes to look better.”
Yes, a dozen lunch boxes.
Xie Qiang also just learned that Mo Yin’s appetite was very, very large.
She took the chopsticks Mo Yin handed over and asked casually, “Big Red, have you eaten?”
“Tsk, who wants to eat with you.” Hong Que sat opposite her reluctantly, opening a bottle of water with a face full of disgust.
? Xie Qiang looked at him with some concern. Is his mania level too high, affecting his language comprehension ability?
“How about you also come over at noon every day to receive purification?” Xie Qiang suggested.
“Also?” Hong Que immediately caught the key point. “Who else? Sen Ji?”
“Yeah.” Xie Qiang nodded, then wondered, “I originally wanted to ask him to come to my room at night for purification, but I don’t know why he suddenly…”
Before she could finish, Hong Que, who was drinking water, coughed violently. He pounded his chest, pointing at Xie Qiang in disbelief. “Cough cough, you, you actually asked him to go to bed?!”
Clearly, the one you like is me, but you asked Sen Ji to stay the night?
Xie Qiang! Your love is absolutely worthless!
Hong Que stood up in anger and stormed out of the office furiously.
Xie Qiang was completely stunned.
What, what go to… bed?
She just wanted to give Sen Ji a little purification before he slept so he could sleep soundly… Wait!
Does asking a Sentinel for night purification imply spending the night together here?
Xie Qiang’s face instantly turned completely red.
She didn’t know at all! The original novel was purely an inspirational story; even the male lead hadn’t appeared for a long time, and there were no descriptions of these Sentinel-Guide code words!
Thinking of Sen Ji’s reaction at that time, acting exactly as if she were a big pervert forcing a good boy, Xie Qiang couldn’t help covering her face, feeling like the sky was falling. “How could this happen…”
“Mm.” Beside her, Mo Yin suddenly covered his cheek near his molars and frowned.
“What’s wrong?” Xie Qiang came back to her senses. Seeing Mo Yin clutching his jaw with a wrinkled face, she asked with concern, “Toothache?”
Mo Yin shook his head.
His brother, grinding his molars again.
Weird.
However, since he left…
Mo Yin pushed Hong Que’s lunch box in front of Xie Qiang. “Eat.”
Eat more, mood improves, won’t be punished.
Xie Qiang immediately forgot her troubles and grinned. “Okay.”
Sure enough, Mo Yin is more normal and easier/more comfortable to get along with.
