Chapter 9: Xiong Lili

Is that so? What grade are you in?" Zhong Xiangyang asked.

Zhong Xiangyang reached out to take the medicine from the convenience bag and said, "Thank you, actually I am not ill, I have just been busy with interviews everywhere these past few days, feeling quite exhausted, so I wanted to take a break"

"It is still more comfortable to live alone. I am also not used to living at home. In a few days, I will go stay at the clinic," said Zhong Xiangyang.

Gu Haiying looked at his daughter, never feeling that she had grown up until this moment

My name is Gu Xiaoxi, and I am on my way to Qipan Town. Shall we meet? Do you have time?" While waiting for the red light, Gu Xiaoxi made a call to Zhong Xiangyang using Bluetooth.

Hello, who is this?" Zhong Xiangyang answered the phone and inquired

"Father, this matter should be addressed sooner rather than later. Once someone else gets ahead, you won't even have a place to buy regret medicine. Think about whether this is the case; we cannot afford to lose." Gu Xiaoxi said

However, before he could finish speaking, his phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number from the provincial capital

Are we leaving now?" Gu Haiying asked, somewhat surprised

"You can go, but this matter must not be known to your mother. If she finds out, she will surely be angry with me. Actually, I could also give a heads-up to the people below to keep Zhong Xiangyang in line, so you don't have to go if you don't want to," Gu Haiying said.

"What do you think? Dean Qi is not that kind of person. You said you were ill, yet you still want me to come see you again. Isn't that a sign of distrust? I worry that the medicine at the village clinic is insufficient, so I brought you some medicine from the health center. You can try taking it." Xiong Lili said

I am pregnant," Gu Xiaoxi said

From a distance, Xiong Lili was seen riding her electric bike. Zhong Xiangyang stood up and, when Xiong Lili arrived in front of him, smiled and said: "Was it really Dean Qi who asked you to come?"

How much is it? I will give "". Zhong Xiangyang gritted his teeth and said

"Not much, about 200,000. If you don't give it to me, I will go to your unit to make a scene, the Qipanzhen Health Center, right? I remember that, I will navigate there now, wait for me." Gu Xiaoxi said this and hung up the phone.

"What the hell, are you trying to extort me? Your pregnancy has nothing to do with me. We've only been together for a few days, how could you be pregnant? How many months along are you? Are you trying to make me a father and play tricks on me? Let me tell you, I’m not falling for that nonsense, your extortion won’t work on me," said Zhong Xiangyang.

Zhong Xiangyang was still unaware of the events occurring in the provincial capital. He sat under the big tree at the entrance of the village clinic, enjoying the cool shade while waiting for Xiong Lili to arrive. By the time she came, she was already halfway here. At this point, sending her back would not be appropriate. Moreover, she was specifically sent to see him. This Dean Qi is really too cunning.

"That is hard to say. I came to find you without even finishing my meal. You won't even let me sit at your home and get something to eat. I still have to be on duty this afternoon," said Xiong Lili.

"Kong Lili, where is your home? Is it nearby as well? I haven't had the chance to ask you yet; I've been too busy these past few days"

Xiong Lili rode her electric bike here. Fortunately, it is not too far from the town government; otherwise, in this scorching heat, it would be quite unbearable

Although Xiong Lili is not a doctor, it is still possible to tell whether someone is sick or not. Therefore, there is no need to pretend in front of others. She sat at the door waiting for her to arrive, and next to her was a small supermarket. She bought an ice cream to eat first and read a book while waiting.

Zhong Xiangyang felt a gnawing resentment, but there was nothing he could do; after all, this was the consequence of his own actions.

"Alright, later you can give me Zhong Xiangyang's address and phone number, and I will set off right away," Gu Xiaoxi said

Zhong Xiangyang was taken aback by the words, pointed at the instant noodles, indicating that Xiong Lili could eat, while he took his phone and went to the yard to continue bantering with the girl named Gu Xiaoxi

That works, feel free to contact me anytime if you have any matters to discuss

Upon arriving home, Xiong Lili surveyed the courtyard of this rural family.

"I have read the report about you, so I must address you as 'senior brother.' I am also from the Medical University, studying Advanced Nursing. Have we met at school?" Xiong Lili suddenly said

"Don't we know each other? Zhong Xiangyang, I must say I misjudged you. They say there are no good men, and once they pull up their pants, they deny everything. I didn't expect you to be one of those people. Didn't you say that your first time was with me? Although I may not be the one you love the most, we at least have some fate together. Let's meet up; I came all this way." Gu Xiaoxi suppressed a laugh and asked. Gu Xiaoxi suppressed a laugh and asked.

"Dad, have you ever thought about it? The more people know about this matter, the greater the risk. I have already made a foolish mistake before, so let's not continue down that path. I will go talk to him; I believe he understands the stakes involved and won't speak easily. If he does speak, then no one will be able to escape this matter. But who is he, and who are we? If we were to go down with someone like him, what a huge loss we would incur?" Gu Xiaoxi said

"You have no sense of safety at all. Let me ask you, that night did you ever wear a condom? Also, you don't need to wait so long to check for pregnancy; a simple blood test will suffice. I went for a check-up, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant; this cannot be wrong. I am not here for any other reason, just give me some money for the surgery and a little for living expenses." Gu Xiaoxi said.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiangyang felt that the girl's motives were not pure. He then went to the nearby convenience store and bought two buckets of instant noodles, saying: "Let's go, I haven't eaten either. Let's eat together. I can't cook, but I'm quite good at preparing instant noodles"

What are you here to see me for? I told you hetushu.com. It was an accidental event that happened by chance...

"Gu Xiaoxi? Do we know each other?" Zhong Xiangyang asked

Gu Haiying let out a long sigh, patted the armrest of the chair, and said: "Alright, drive slowly"

"No, my home is in a county town. I just graduated and returned for an internship. Originally, my parents arranged for me to intern at the county hospital, but I found them annoying. If I interned at the county hospital, I would have to go back home every day. Now, I can stay in the dormitory. I have gotten used to living in the school dormitory and feel uncomfortable living with a few people at home now," said Xiong Lili.

"I have realized the problem, haven't I? I'll just hide for a few days. You won't tell Dean Qi, will you?" Zhong Xiangyang asked

Upon hearing this, Xiong Lili not only did not get angry, but instead said: "Actually, I have wanted to tell you this for a long time. You have just arrived and already made such a big splash, which is really not appropriate. However, I feel that it is not suitable for me to say this, since you saved me; how could I say such things about you? But the colleagues in the院 have already started discussing you, and I cannot say much. I came today to remind you that sometimes making a splash is not necessarily a good thing"
