Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9125 Destiny is never preset (8)

For a moment, the ward was quiet, and no one made a sound.

However, Qiao Chengfan's eyes fell on her face, and he remained motionless.

Xiao Si seemed to be able to sense two blazing eyes, but she still didn't say anything and touched Zheng Bao's forehead with her hand.

Still have a slight fever.

Xiao seems to be there every step of the way, she doesn't dare to take a step away, Zheng Bao is her life.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Chengfan entered the bathroom.

Then, he took out a warm towel and handed it to her: "Wipe it."

"Thank you." Xiao seemed to take the towel.

Qiao Chengfan had no intention of leaving. He went back to the bathroom to help Xiao Sisi put in hot water and get her bathrobe from the closet.

The conditions of the VIP ward are very good, but the price is high. One day's fee can equal half of her monthly income.

She was willing to give up for Zhengbao.

After putting hot water in the bathtub, he walked out slowly.

It was still raining outside, and the drizzle was beating on the window of the ward. The curtains were drawn and the light was gentle.

If this wasn't a hospital, the scene at this moment would have reminded Qiao Chengfan of that night in her apartment.

That night, Zheng Bao also slept soundly. He and Xiao Sisi sat in the living room and stayed there all night.

"There's hot water in the bathtub. Go take a bath and don't catch a cold."

There was a look of fear in Xiao Sisi's eyes: "Mr. Devin, I can do it myself. You can go back."

"You seem to be in a hurry to get rid of me."

"Mr. Devin, you should know that we were just ordinary friends...maybe not even friends, we were superiors and subordinates."

She thought that she had already made many things clear.

"Superiors, subordinates, colleagues..." He chewed these two words indifferently, the light in his eyes gradually cooled, and the expression on his face became much colder.

After a while, he didn't care too much about her and looked at Zheng Bao on the hospital bed: "I'll leave when the test results come out."

"It's nothing. Maybe it's just acclimatization and a bad stomach."

"Then I'll wait for the report to come out before going back."

Xiao Si seemed unable to resist him, so he stood up and returned the windbreaker to him: "I'm going to take a shower."

The temperature in the bathroom was adjusted just right, neither too cold nor too hot, and even the hot water in the bathtub was at a comfortable temperature.

Xiao Xisi took off his clothes, leaned against the bathtub and closed his eyes.

In front of her was Qiao Chengfan, whom she hadn't seen for more than half a year. She never thought she would see him again in New York.

Why did he come to New York? stay How long? Come to see Qiao Zhixing? Xiao seems to know nothing.

At this moment, Xiao Xisi's heart was beating very fast, and his heart was filled with an uncontrollable force.

The fragments in my mind are intermittent and cannot be connected. Sometimes they are the light and shadow in Xuanzhou, and sometimes they are the light and shadow abroad. They are chaotically intertwined and intricately overprinted.

She and Qiao Chengfan should not have crossed paths in the first place.

Especially now.

After Xiao Sisi took a shower, she wrapped herself in a white bathrobe, dried her hair and walked out.

The lights in Zheng Bao's room were turned off, leaving only a night light. She walked quietly into the living room without disturbing Zheng Bao.

Her body was filled with the fragrance of shower gel. As soon as she came out, Qiao Chengfan raised his head.

The man's cold eyes were a little more fiery and complex. He stared intently at the woman walking this way——

Her long, semi-wet, black hair hangs loosely around her shoulders, without any makeup. Although her eyes are tired, her face is beautiful, and her calm and peaceful temperament exudes a unique aura. The woman's long eyelashes were lowered and she didn't look at him. Instead, she straightened the ties of her nightgown. Under her fair and slender neck was the V-shaped neckline of her nightgown, and her skin was as smooth as snow and could be broken by a blow.

Xiao Sisi walked to the water dispenser and poured a glass of warm water. When he turned his head, he met Qiao Chengfan's eyes that were different from the past.

"Mr. Devin, the room next to Zheng Bao is empty. You can go and take a nap."

"No need." He showed no intention of sleeping, "You go to sleep, I will keep an eye on Zheng Bao."

"Mr. Devin, you haven't told me why you are here."

Qiao Chengfan didn't say much, and simply told her some things about his encounter with Zheng Bao after coming to New York.

Xiao Sisi was surprised. He had been to Zheng Bao's piano training classes several times, and he also went to that competition.

The person who fought with Qiao Zhixing that day was none other than him.

She was just running out and saw only the outline of Qiao Chengfan, but she didn't expect that it was really him.

She didn't know what happened in Xuanzhou later, let alone what the Qiao family did later, and why they didn't take Qiao Chengfan back. She had no intention of understanding.

"Why do you know Qiao Zhixing?" He suddenly turned a corner, changed the topic, and looked directly at her.

"I'm studying under Professor Crutcher, and he happens to be one too."

"Professor Crutchie...I know."

"Of course Mr. Devin knows that it was the professor's team that developed the specific drug, but Xiao Lang's plan did not succeed. Of course, Mr. Devin's hard work did not pay off."

"To me, it doesn't make sense."

"I know."

She had always known that Qiao Chengfan was not a person who valued results very much. Success, failure, and reward were not that important to him.

There are few people like him in this world.

Most of us are ordinary people who work hard. How many people don’t care about the results after their efforts? If you fail, you always feel like the sky is falling.

Xiao Sisi was sitting on the sofa, very tired.

She picked up a newspaper, today's New York Times.

"Xiao Sisi, Qiao Zhixing is pursuing you?"

Her hand holding the newspaper trembled and she chuckled: "How can I let Mr. Devin have such an illusion? Also, it would be better for Mr. Devin to ask him directly about Qiao Zhixing."

"Are you not planning to return to China?"

"I finally escaped, how could there be any reason to go back?"

Qiao Chengfan didn't mention Xuanzhou. He knew that for Xiao Shisi, Xuanzhou was darkness, a prison, and sin.

He shouldn't have mentioned it.

"Mr. Devin, don't go looking for Zheng Bao in the future. I don't want him to be disturbed."

"Why don't you just say you don't want me to have any contact with Zheng Bao!"

"Isn't it?" She said calmly, "Mr. Devin has his own life, and so do Zheng Bao and I. We shouldn't have any intersection. What's more, Mr. Devin, we really don't know each other well."

"Not familiar?" He laughed. "In your eyes, we are just former colleagues."

"Now we're not even colleagues."

"Xiao Sisi, you are more ruthless than I thought."

"Mr. Devin, don't see Zheng Bao again, and don't come to me again. I don't want the relationship between us to be ambiguous. That's not what I want."

"what do you want."

"I took Zhengbao abroad just because I wanted a new and peaceful life, without being disturbed by people from the past, and being able to completely draw a line with the past. For me, this is what I want, everything is new. "
