hot fire

nine

After that day, everyone in the general practice knew that Qi "has a good name".

"Who is your boyfriend?" Xiaojie didn't know how many times she asked Qi when she entered the office.

Qi shrugged his shoulders as usual, smiled, and then sat down in his seat.

"But Dr. Zhao doesn't seem to have any plans to give up." Xiaojie said, pointing to who knows which bunch of flowers Qi put beside the trash can.

"I think he's annoying." Qi said without raising his head.

"How can you be so unmoved... I really want to know who your boyfriend is." Xiaojie leaned against Qi and looked at her and said.

"Don't gossip." After giving Xiaojie a cold look, Qi continued to do her work.

"I really want to know what kind of person can make you so determined..." Xiaojie didn't give up.

"It's enough of you, I'm leaving, break." After Qi finished speaking, he stood up and packed his things, preparing to take home the unfinished work.

"Okay, goodbye! Don't forget to handle your flowers yourself." Xiaojie reminded Qi.

"When will he stop? It's a waste." Qi said as he picked up the large bouquet of flowers, and walked out of the office to the garbage truck.

"It turns out that my flowers really go into the garbage truck every day." The moment Qi threw the flowers in, Zhao Lingcheng's voice sounded.

"Yes, so please stop, it bothers me." Qi turned around and said in a voice without warmth.

"It's the first time I've been sentenced to be out of the game so directly." Zhao Lingcheng said with a frown.

"Let's go first, goodbye." Without waiting for Zhao Lingcheng's response, Qi left directly.

"Let me deliver this time, huh?" Zhao Lingcheng followed behind Qi.

"No need." Qi didn't turn his head.

"It just so happens that someone is coming to pick you up today, right?" Zhao Lingcheng quickened his pace and walked to Qi's side.

"So what?" Qi Zhen glanced at him, but still didn't stop.

"Then I should meet my competitors more, I hate losing." Zhao Lingcheng said confidently.

"Excuse me, what does Dr. Zhao think of me? A trophy?" Qi stopped and stared at him.

"Uh...that's not what I meant..." Zhao Lingcheng quickly explained when he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

"Doctor Zhao, I think you can go." Qi glared at him angrily.

"I'll see you off." At this moment, Qi once again saw the man's stern expression.

Qi had no choice but to walk in the direction where Xi was parking, secretly hoping to meet Xi and hitch a ride smoothly.

Xi should be off work on time.Qi quickened his pace.

Zhao Lingcheng followed her step by step.

"Can you stop following me like a stalker?" Qi stopped this time.

"You haven't agreed to take my car yet." Zhao Lingcheng said shamelessly.

"I will never agree to ride in your car." Kei said firmly.

"Please, just once..." Zhao Lingcheng refused to give up.

Qi turned around and continued walking, and then she saw Xi appear in her sight.

"Kaiqi, you are so punctual." Xi also saw Qi, and of course, Zhao Lingcheng who was following her.

"You too." Qi smiled, and played the "polite" scene with Xi.

"This is?" Zhao Lingcheng's eyes lit up when he saw Xi.

"Let's go." Ignoring Zhao Lingcheng's existence, Xi hooked Qi's hand and walked to her car, and then the two quickly got into the car, reversed the car, and left.

"Is he still pestering you?" Xi glanced at the rear-view mirror.

"Yeah." Qi nodded.

"In the future, let's go to get off work together." Xi said.

"Are you sure?" Qi asked in surprise.

They go in and out together like this every day, sooner or later gossip will start to spread.

"Well, I hate that man." Xi said very succinctly.

Especially hate his "intention" towards you.But she kept the second half of the sentence.

"But I don't want you to be entangled by him. He may change his target after seeing you... After all, I have been rejected by me, and then you are better than me..." Qi began to worry.

"Little cat, don't think so much." Xi suddenly took Qi's hand.

"Oh..." Qi always nodded obediently to Xi's words.

"Besides, I think it's better for him to change his target. After all, we are in different departments. No matter what, he can't come to the psychiatric department during working hours, right?" Xi asked with a smile.

"He will always send you flowers... I have lost them for a week..." Qi said helplessly.

"That's interesting..." The corner of Xi's mouth curled into a smile.

"Xi, your smile...why do you think it's malicious?" Qi suddenly rejoiced that she and Xi were on the "same side".

"Let's see. We'll see!" Xi didn't say much.

Sure enough, as Qi expected, Zhao Lingcheng changed his target.

Qi finally didn't have to throw a bouquet of flowers into the garbage truck every day.

But he still pestered Qi all day long, in order to inquire about Xi's news.

Qi's answer to his questions was always silence.

I won't let you get close to Xi.Qi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and walked away.

And Xi really started commuting with Qi from that day on, not caring who she met or what she said.

Emily∣The relationship between you and your senior has been made public?

Emily's message appears on Line's interface.

Qi∣No, Xi doesn't want me to be entangled by stinky men.

Qi returned to her.

Emily∣Is she jealous?congratulation!Finally made her jealous.

Qi could feel that Emily was happy for her.

Qi∣You idiot, she won't be jealous, she probably just thinks that guy is not good enough.

Qi thought that when he went home that day, Xi knew that Zhao Lingcheng wanted to chase her, so he only said a few words lightly.

Emily∣Why are you downcast?Otherwise, I'll ask her for you!

Emily was more enthusiastic than usual at this point.

Qi∣You don't want a dick!If you ask me, I will break up with you.

Qi warned her that Emily knew that Qi was serious.

Emily∣tsk, my kindness was not rewarded.

Qi couldn't help laughing, she could imagine Emily smacking her lips angrily on the other side of the screen.

"What are you laughing at? So happy?" Xi asked while holding the steering wheel while looking at her.

"Emily is playing an idiot, it's okay." Qi thought about Emily's text message.

Will Xi really be jealous because of Zhao Lingcheng?Just pretend what Emily said is true and have fun.Qi laughed even bigger.

"Little cat, what are you laughing at?" Xi looked at Qi and smiled.

"No..." Qi hurriedly looked out the window, pretending to be stupid.

Xi shook her head, and the car drove into the basement.After parking the car, Qi unlocked the door and prepared to get out of the car.

But Xi pressed her finger and locked the car door again.

"What's wrong?" Qi asked guiltily.

"I want to ask you, right? What are you laughing at?" Xi slowly approached Qi.

"No, really not..." Qi didn't dare to look at Xi's eyes staring at her.

"Kitten," Xi said, kissing Kei's lips.

Qi probably won't be able to resist Xi's kiss for the rest of his life, so he can only respond obediently.

"The way you panicked is so cute! I should tease you more often in the future." Xi pecked Qi's lips again before getting out of the car.

Qi blushed and followed behind Xi.

"You're blushing." Xi deliberately teased her.

"Okay, there is a monitor in the elevator, don't tease me." Qi pressed the door close button.

"The monitor is in black and white, so I won't notice you blushing." After Xi finished speaking, she walked out of the elevator first.

After entering the house, the play time was over, and the two sat side by side in front of the computer, starting their respective busy lives.

A few days later, Hua, who originally appeared in Qi's office every day, appeared in Xi's office.

Xi∣I received flowers.

Qi stared at the dialogue window on the screen for a long time.

Qi∣So he knows who you are.

Her reply is slightly jealous, I don't know if Xi can feel it.

Xi∣Well, right?But don't worry, I won't let him near me.

Xi seemed to want her to feel at ease.

Qi∣His stalking skills are very annoying.

Qi thought about how she was entangled before.

Xi | I will use my method to deal with him, don't worry.That's it for now, see you after get off work.

Qi stared blankly at the phone, remembering the smile that Tian Xi evoked in the car.

After Xi and Qi finished the line, they made a phone call.After a while, the aunt in charge of cleaning appeared in Xi's office.

"Auntie, please help me take this bunch of flowers to the garbage truck downstairs in the Radiation Oncology Department." Xi said with a smile.

"Dr. Xia, someone is chasing you again? This time it's the radiation oncology department?" Auntie seemed to understand it.

"Yeah, I'm counting on you again." Xi said with a smile, this is not the first time, and it probably won't be the last time.

"Hey, these men only know these tricks, don't they have any other new tricks?" Auntie said while taking flowers from Xi.

"Isn't there just a few tricks for chasing women?" Xi chatted with his aunt.

"That's right. Dr. Xia, the doctors in the hospital are not as attractive as you?" Auntie couldn't help gossip.

"Auntie, you don't need to worry about this! Hua will trouble you." Xi responded with four or two thousand gold.

"Oh, what a waste... Zhao Lingcheng, you're new here?" Auntie saw the card on the bouquet.

"Yes, new here." Xi nodded.

"Sure enough, I didn't inquire before chasing. These men yell, just use the same trick, and they won't do their homework first. Well, I will help you lose it. I wish you get rid of him as soon as possible." The aunt said Finished, took the flowers and left.

"Do you know who Dr. Zhao is chasing recently?" Xiaojie asked as soon as she entered the office.

"I don't know." Qi pretended to be stupid.

"Dr. Xia Yuxi from the psychiatry department." Xiaojie told Qi solemnly.

"Oh, I shouldn't be able to catch up with you." Qi said without turning his head.

"Are you familiar with Dr. Xia?" Xiaojie leaned over to Qi and asked.

"She took care of me during my psychiatric internship and PGY." Qi didn't answer directly.

"Many people heard that he was going to chase Dr. Xia, and advised him to give up. After all, probably all the male doctors in the hospital have chased him, or they wanted to chase him, but none of them succeeded. There are also people who say that Dr. Xia might like girls... Xiaojie began to "share" the news she had received with Qi.

"Can you stop gossiping like this?" Qi looked at Xiaojie unbearably.

"Don't you think gossip is one of the few pleasures in the hospital?" Xiaojie looked at Qi in puzzlement.

"Forget it..." Qi didn't intend to say anything.

"What are you going to do with Zhao Lingcheng?" Qi asked Xi when they were at home at night.

"Why are you so worried about me?" Xi asked.

"It doesn't feel good to be entangled, I know that," Kei said.

Because I hate him for liking you.In fact, this is her voice.

"Well... just hold back for now. If he makes me unbearable, I will go and tell our director." Xi seemed to have already figured out a countermeasure.

"Oh, then he should be able to bear it." Qi nodded.

"Yes. The whole hospital knows that our director hates people doing things like this. Besides, I can also be regarded as a red card for our department. He won't let the head of the other department run wild on my territory. Don't worry. , Kitty.” After Xi finished speaking, she pecked Qi’s lips, stood up and walked to the kitchen.

"However, I'm glad he didn't continue to pester you. I hate the way he looked at you before." After walking a few steps, Xi suddenly turned around and said to Qi with blinking eyes.

What does this mean?Is Xi expressing something?Qi followed behind Xi.

"Xi, my colleague told me the rumor about you today..." Qi remembered what Xiaojie told her.

"What?"

Qi tells Xi what Xiaojie told her.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to continue to be passed on after eight million years." Xi looked indifferent.

"You don't care?" Qi was a little surprised.

"It's nothing to be concerned about...but maybe when someone sees us commuting together, there will be new rumors." Xi put the washed dishes into the dishwasher.

"Is this okay?" Kei asked uncertainly.

"Are you worried?" Xi asked back.

"I don't want to cause you trouble because of me." Qi said honestly.

"Little cat," Xi wiped her hands dry, and hugged Qi's waist face to face, "You have never caused me trouble, don't think about it." Xi looked into Qi's eyes and said.

"On the contrary, I'm more worried about you..." Xi brushed aside the hair scattered on Qi's forehead.

"What do I have to worry about?" Qi took Xi's hand and kissed it gently.

"Little cat, you are very important, so take good care of yourself." Xi looked at Qi seriously.

It was the first time Qi saw Xi talking to her with such serious eyes.

"Why are you so stupid?" Xi asked, looking at Qi who was in a daze.

"No, no." I don't know how to answer.

"Little cat, there are some things, just believe it, there is no need to doubt it." Xi Ruo said pointingly, then tiptoed, kissed Qi's forehead, turned and went back to work in front of the computer.

There is no need to doubt...?Qi looked at Xi's back, as if he suddenly understood what Jun Yoo meant when he said that someone needs to force Xi.That person, preferably a passer-by who broke in out of nowhere.

Sure enough, as Qi had guessed, it didn't take long for rumors about the two of them to start appearing.After someone saw them commuting together.

"Kaiqi, are you familiar with Dr. Xia? Otherwise, how can you commute with her?" Xiaojie leaned over to gossip again.

"I just moved near her house recently, and she was very kind to give me a ride." Qi didn't look up as usual.

"Oh, I thought you guys..." Xiaojie hesitated to speak.

"How about us?" Kei deliberately continued to ask.

"Just... everyone passed it on..." Xiaojie hesitated.

"Oh, believe what you want to believe." Qi looked indifferent, this is what Xi taught her.

"Oh..." Hitting a nail, Xiaojie touched her nose and went back to work.

Alas, I wonder if Xi will hear it?How will she react when she hears it?

Emily∣Hey, have you been discovered? Line appeared again.

Qi∣Someone must have seen it, so just stop booing.I don't care.

Emily∣I won’t, but, you guys have to be careful...

Qi knew that Emily was always the one who worried the most.

Qi∣Be careful what?

Emily|I don’t know, it’s hard to say about this kind of thing, anyway, just be careful.

Qi∣I see.

"I'm going to make room rounds." Qi turned around and said to Xiaojie, before leaving the office.

After walking a few steps, he met Zhao Lingcheng approaching him.Damn, actually bumped into him.

"Doctor Luo, are you going to make room rounds?" Zhao Lingcheng offered to ask.

Qi nodded and didn't stop.

"Excuse me, are you familiar with Dr. Xia?" Zhao Lingcheng followed her.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to make room rounds." Qi continued to walk.

"Don't be so indifferent all the time, we are all colleagues, please give me some advice." Zhao Lingcheng continued to stalk.

"No problem." Qi gritted his teeth and said, speeding up his movement, wishing he could run.

"Do you know what she likes?" Zhao Lingcheng's entanglement seems to be challenging Qi's limit.

"Doctor Zhao," finally, Qi stopped in front of the ward door and looked at him angrily, "I don't know what she likes, but I know he doesn't like you. In fact, I advise you to stay away from her, otherwise You will be in trouble." After she finished speaking, she walked to the nursing station with a stinky face and began to look through the medical records.

"Dr. Luo is not in a good mood today?" The nurse on duty at the nursing station asked Qi, who looked unhappy.

"I was discovered by my aunt." Qi sat down with a smile.

"Because of Dr. Zhao?" Auntie boldly guessed.

"Did you see it?" Qi was surprised, and took out the pen from his pocket.

"Well, it's really not good to be stalked after being rejected." Auntie handed the medical records to Qi.

"A man." Qi shrugged.

"However, Dr. Luo, the rumors you told Dr. Xia of the psychiatrist are not true, right?" Auntie still has Obasan's gossip personality.

"I live near Dr. Xia's house, and she is a senior in my university, so she is very nice to give me a ride." Qi explained.

"Oh, sure enough, you can't believe the rumors, especially if they come from a man." The aunt seemed relieved.

"Okay, I'm going to make rounds." After Qi finished speaking, he waved and left the nursing station.

"Sister..." Emily and Xi share the same office, this is Xi's decision.

"What's wrong?" Xi said, still focusing on the appraisal report in front of her.

"You and Qi..." Emily said hesitantly.

"What's wrong?"

"Rumours...will it be bad?" Emily's words were obviously worried.

"Just ignore it." Xi remained calm as usual.

"Then... what about the man who brings flowers every day?" Emily asked, glancing at the flowers Xi placed by the door.

"Don't bother with him, let him give it away if he likes it, and Auntie will help me take it away." Xi said without raising her head.

"I mean, what will he do to you or to Qi in anger?" Emily stared at Xi's reaction carefully.

"Then I will let him walk around endlessly, you can rest assured." Xi finally looked up at Emily from the report.

"Oh, that's good." Emily nodded, finally feeling relieved.

I won't let anyone bully the kitten.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll open it." Emily stood up and opened the door.

"Is Dr. Xia there?" It was a male voice.

Xi knew who it was without even thinking about it.

"I'm very busy, what can I do?" Xi asked without raising her head.

"Uh... I'm Zhao Lingcheng from the Radiation Oncology Department, I don't know..." Zhao Lingcheng didn't expect Xi to be so indifferent.

"I know who you are, you can go back, it's best not to send flowers in the future." Xi still didn't look at him.

"Then..." Zhao Lingcheng wanted to say something else.

"Emily, please close the door, thank you." Xi didn't ask Zhao Lingcheng to say anything.

Emily closed the door obediently.

"Sister, you are so handsome! Qi really wants to learn more from you." Emily sat back in her seat and said to Xi.

"This kind of person, don't be polite to him." Xi seemed to be very experienced.

"Will you let the director know about this?" Emily asked again, she also knew the director's attitude towards this kind of thing.

"That's the worst policy, and I don't want to make it too ugly." Xi made a decision.

"Then...then...then will he go to harass Qi again?" Emily began to worry about Qi again.

"Hey, you really have a lot of questions...let's talk about it later." Xi glanced at Emily.

"Oh, good..." Emily didn't dare to say anything more.

Hmm, didn't think about what to do if he went back to annoying the kitten again... Men are really annoying.Xi sighed helplessly.

But Xi didn't notice, because of the appearance of this man, her "care" for Qi became more and more obvious, and she also showed more and more direct expressions.

"I met Zhao Lingcheng today." Qi said as soon as he got in the car.

"He came to see me today too." Xi replied.

"Oh, he is so bold, he ran to find you, and then what?" Qi thought of Xi's "coldness" and Xi's possible reaction, and really admired Zhao Lingcheng's bravery from the bottom of his heart.

"I just closed the door and told him to leave." Xi said as he reversed the car and left.

"Really?" Qi couldn't believe it.

"Well, after all, he is not in the same department as me, so it has nothing to do with it directly." Xi said nonchalantly.

"That's great. Director Ke seems to like him quite a lot. He called Lu me for him last time we had dinner." Thinking of the last dinner, Qi was unhappy.

"Keep a distance from the director." Xi glanced at Qi and said like an order.

"Oh, I see." Qi was not sure if he had read it wrongly. Was it possessive that appeared in Xi's eyes just now?

"If he continues to harass you, remember to tell me." Xi glanced at Qi again.

Appeared again, Xi's eyes... Twice, can't be wrong.A gleam of happiness appeared in Qi's heart.

"Little cat, what do you want to eat tonight?" Xi asked again before Qi recovered.

"It's all good..." Qi said, looking out the window.

What is the kitten thinking when it smiles like this?Xi found that she liked seeing Qi's smile more and more.

Xi was taken aback by the feeling that suddenly appeared in her heart. It was a familiar feeling, but it had disappeared for a long, long time.

Is this... happiness...?Is it happiness that you feel from the kitten?Do I still know what happiness is?Can I still have happiness?Or, is this just my hallucination?This question kept circling in Xi's mind throughout the night.

"Xi...why have you been in a daze today?" Qi gently shook Xi.

"Ah! No... I'm a little tired." Xi regained consciousness, and there was an unfinished report on the screen.

"You've been absent-minded all night..." Qi looked at Xi and said.

"I'll take a shower first." Xi ignored Qi's words, went into the room, took clothes and went into the bathroom.

She ran away again... Alas, what the hell is Xi thinking... It took Qi a lot of effort to get his focus back to the screen in front of him.

After that, Xi didn't go back to the computer, went directly into the room, and lay down on the bed, but didn't fall asleep either.

After taking a shower, Qi lay down next to Xi, but found that Xi was not asleep, just lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling.

"Xi, what's the matter?" Qi rested his head on his hands and looked at Xi beside him.

"Little cat," Xi's eyes turned from the ceiling to Qi, "for you, what is happiness?" Xi looked at Qi and asked.

Qi never thought that Xi would ask herself this question.For her, staying by Xi's side, falling asleep looking at Xi's face every day, listening to Xi call her a kitten every day, commuting with Xi every day... As long as there is Xi, it is happiness.But, how do you tell Xi about this?How should I answer Xi?

"Happiness..." After thinking for a while, Qi said, "Probably that's it." She knew Xi understood.

"That's it..." Xi's hand covered Qi's cheek, Qi closed his eyes, feeling the temperature of Xi's fingertips.

"So, what about Xi? For Xi, what is happiness?" Qi asked with her eyes closed. She didn't know how to look at Xi and say this question.

"That's it." Xi answered her with Qi's answer, and she knew that Qi understood.

Qi smiled, "Then, so be it." She held Xi's hand, and through the moonlight coming in through the gap in the curtain, Qi saw the same expression appear on Xi's face.

Before closing his eyes and falling asleep, Qi remembered what Xi said in England.

My world, my home is in Taiwan, and there is a free cat.
