Quenching

"Wu Haofeng, what is Huang Qiaqia angry about? Is it related to Kong Yanfei?"

Wanli Fuguang pressed for answers anxiously, fearing that Wu Haofeng might have noticed something amiss.

"Huang Qiaqia seems to be angry with herself. As for why, Xing Songfeng and Kong Yanfei will probably find out when they come back together in a while."

As soon as Wu Haofeng finished speaking, Sheng Shanxing took his bag, went into the bedroom, and locked the door.

Wu Haofeng glanced curiously at Wanli Fuguang, who not only showed no surprise but also seemed to think that Sheng Shanxing should go in...

“Young Master, Huang Qiaqia hasn’t eaten anything all day. She didn’t eat the sandwiches and steamed buns you gave her this morning.”

Wu Haofeng couldn't figure out what Wanli Fuguang was covering up for Huang Qiaqia. Was it Huang Qiaqia's weakness?

"Wu Haofeng, make me something to eat, I'm hungry."

Upon hearing Wanli Fuguang's instructions, Wu Haofeng had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Sheng Shanxing pushed open the door and came out. Wanli Fuguang was about to step forward to ask what was going on when Xing Songfeng and Kong Yanfei rushed over.

What happened to Huang Qiaqia?

Kong Yanfei's forehead was covered in a layer of fine sweat, her makeup was a little smudged, and she asked breathlessly.

Sheng Shanxing took a big step forward and reprimanded Kong Yanfei mercilessly.

"What exactly did you say to her today? Do you know she almost..."

Xing Songfeng raised his eyebrows and glared angrily. He grabbed Kong Yanfei's arm and pulled her behind him to protect her.

"Why are you yelling at Kong Yanfei? What does Huang Qiaqia have to do with Kong Yanfei?"

Wanli Fuguang frowned slightly as he looked at Xing Songfeng.

Sheng Shanxing suppressed his anger, lowered his voice, and said seriously.

"Xing Songfeng, move aside, I have something to say to Kong Yanfei."

“Absolutely not. And let me tell you, from today onwards, I will protect Kong Yanfei. You, Sheng Shanxing, will no longer be needed.”

Standing to the side, Wu Haofeng, seeing Xing Songfeng's confident and righteous demeanor, really wanted to punch him hard.

Sheng Shanxing's brows relaxed, and he chuckled.

What do you mean? Are you mocking me?

Xing Songfeng's narrow eyes flashed with obvious annoyance.

Sheng Shanxing's tone clearly revealed his impatience.

"You succeeded. Kong Yanfei asked you to make me angry, and you succeeded. I apologize, I'll apologize however I want, can you step aside now?"

Xing Songfeng's eyebrows shot up, and he shoved Sheng Shanxing away forcefully. He grabbed Kong Yanfei's arm aggressively, looking as if he wanted to elope with her.

Wu Haofeng shook his head in disgust, and Sheng Shanxing grabbed Kong Yanfei's other arm and said slowly.

"Please forgive me, okay? These past few days, the hospital has had several lawsuits. And with you gone, there's a mountain of wedding preparations to handle, and you're asking me about all of this? I..."

Xing Songfeng, filled with righteous indignation, shouted at Sheng Shanxing.

"What do you mean by 'forgive you'? Do you even know? Last time, Kong Yanfei went to Boss Zhu's company to ask for sponsorship to help you, but Boss Zhu turned on her. To protect Huang Qiaqia, she injured her own arm, leaving a scar. She auditioned for a role, but didn't get the lead role, so she could only try for the second female lead role, which included kissing scenes and fight scenes. Kong Yanfei didn't want to do these things, but she had to. That way, you wouldn't be all gloomy. When she wanted to ask you for comfort, you were always frowning, thinking about your patients. You would only ever protect Huang Qiaqia."

Sheng Shanxing looked at Kong Yanfei with heartache in his eyes and gently stroked Kong Yanfei's wrist with his fingertips.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"No need. Kong Yanfei doesn't need to talk to you anymore; he'll talk to me, I..."

Before Xing Songfeng could finish his heartfelt declaration of love, Sheng Shanxing pulled Kong Yanfei into his arms and gently comforted her.

I miss you, I really miss you.

In the instant of walking through the pine breeze, he felt his hand being flung away, a raging fire rising in his chest, and he slammed the door and left.

Wu Haofeng followed behind and found a bottle of birth control pills.

In the warm and gentle embrace of the village, Wu Haofeng gave each girl two birth control pills and made sure they had taken them before letting them go.

"Find me two more..."

"Okay, this bottle is finished. The other bottle of birth control pills is in the car?"

"You won't take two more bottles."

"Won't you eat less? Besides, I'm grading papers here and sending voice messages to the students later. Is it appropriate for you to be making noise in bed like that?"

“I listened to her complaints, wiped away her tears, and stayed with her through her tantrums. I even went with her to get a bone marrow match. In the end, she dumped me so easily. When have I ever suffered such resentment?”

Wu Haofeng glanced at Xing Songfeng, who was completely naked on the bed, and said sullenly.

"When did they ever talk to you about this? They've always considered you a friend."

"I put my heart into it. Besides, why should she dump me so easily?"

"Your first love dumped you so easily, and you cried for a long time. When you were dating, you even got a watermelon haircut as she asked. Should I find the video of you wiping your snot all over my shirt back then and show it to you?"

"I am serious."

"Come on, I'm not a little girl anymore, why would you lie to me? Besides, who would believe you saying that? A woman who's about to get married likes you."

"What if I cause her wedding to fall through?"

"Alright, why do you keep provoking Kong Yanfei? You're no good either. You're using Huang Qiaqia's cane, what if you run into that girl?"

"Tch, the moment he saw my watch, he almost jumped into my arms. I slept with him the next day, and all the documents on the bench were wasted."

"Hey! Hurry up and think of a way to get Huang Qiaqia away from the young master! Do you want to spend all your time cleaning toilets instead of going home?"

******

The sky was clear and the air was fresh. In the kitchen, Wanli Fuguang was serving porridge. Xing Songfeng stood arrogantly beside him, puffed out his chest, put one arm around Wanli Fuguang's shoulder, and swung a silver rag in the other hand, taunting Huang Qiaqia who had just opened the door.

"Little brat, have you seen Wanli Fuguang? I wouldn't give him to you no matter who else I offered him to?"

Wanli Fuguang pushed away the arm on his shoulder, and the white rice porridge exuded a rich aroma of rice. The thick porridge was mellow and delicious.

Huang Qiaqia withdrew her gaze, picked up her schoolbag, and prepared to leave.

"I'll give it to you!"

Wu Haofeng hurriedly stepped forward to help Huang Qiaqia take off her schoolbag, but Huang Qiaqia sidestepped him, cleverly avoiding Wu Haofeng. Wanli Fuguang paused in his porridge-serving hand.

Wu Haofeng looked at Huang Qiaqia, whose face was gloomy, and asked anxiously.

"Huang Qiaqia, it's Sunday today. Are you going to our lab? May I say hello?"

Huang Qiaqia shook her head and put on her shoes.

Xing Songfeng suddenly felt a burning sensation in his hands. Looking down, he saw that the bowl of porridge had been forcibly shoved into his hands.

Wanli Fuguang gripped Huang Qiaqia's shoulders, his gaze firm, his tone devoid of any doubt.

"Huang Qiaqia, I belong only to you, only to you, only to you."
