Chapter 2: Love and Kill

After hanging up the phone, he was not in a hurry to drive and made another call

Jiang Shengzhuo wore a displeased expression: "I am handsome too, why don't you ever praise me?"

After a whole night of turmoil, Qiao Lexi was truly exhausted, yet was willing to spend money: "The wallet is in the bag, feel free to take it."

Qiao Lexi knew that talking to him nicely was never effective, so she simply ignored him

The team leader is also quite troubled: "I have no way out either; she is the niece of General Bai."

Qiao Lexi cast him a disdainful glance and said, "Do you dare to be serious for a moment? You're already half-paralyzed and still so lecherous!"

He also carried her on his back to the hospital just like today, feeling guilty as he watched the red spots on her drooping arms, wishing he could be torn to pieces.

Jiang Shengzhuo looked at Le Xi covering most of her face with a tissue, then glanced at Qi Zecheng, and suddenly became furious: "Why are you still not done?"

After saying that, I turned and left, I thank you! I thank your ancestors for eighteen generations!

Qiao Lexi sneezed several times in succession and replied in a muffled voice, "I won't go, you go by yourself!"

Qiao Lexi realized that at this point, her opposition would be futile, and she could only compromise: "I hope so."

Qiao Lexi groggily swatted his hand away: "Go away! Jiang Shengzhuo, if you keep bothering me, I will tell your grandfather that you skipped class again to play basketball with Ye Zinan and the others"

Qiao Lexi suddenly smiled gently at him: "Let me think, what did you just say? It's not something for people to eat? I actually agree with that; you are not a human being, you are a bird or a beast!"

Mother, you are still awake so late?

What? Going home for dinner this week? That's not possible, I have been quite busy lately

What is this? The food at your hospital is really poor, isn't it? Is this something meant for people to eat? This is mistreatment of patients

Ye Zinan thought for a moment: "It is also possible."

She forced a smile, patting his shoulder in a grand manner, her entire face buried in her scarf: "Broke up? That's good! After such a long time, you must be tired of her given your shelf life for beautiful women!"

The director immediately replied: "No, the recovery is going very well"

Qiao Lexi suddenly widened her eyes and blinked a few times: "Ha, don't joke around, how could I possibly like that guy!"

The first year of high school is coming to an end soon. After the class placement exam, Qiao Lexi and Meng Lai stood in front of the red list to check their scores

As soon as she touched the bed, Qiao Lexi instinctively curled up under the blanket, wearing a look of contentment

After a while, he called out: "Qiaolezi, give me an orange to eat"

Meng Lai seems a bit unhappy: "But we are no longer in the same class..."

She finally found the medicine box, but upon opening it, she discovered that it was empty

During that period, Qiao Lexi always felt that every time she turned around, she could see Jiang Shengzhuo leaning at an angle somewhere, grinning at her mischievously

Qiao Lexi shot him a glance, while rubbing against the back of the chair and pushing him: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take me home!"

Qiao Lexi suddenly turned over and stared at him intently, trying to detect any hint of emotional fluctuation: "You don't need to pretend in front of me"

Qiao Lexi secretly complained, a fateful bond is more or less the same! Since kindergarten, she and Jiang Shengzhuo have been classmates. After finally separating in high school, she unexpectedly found herself back in the same situation due to a reorganization of classes.

Qiao Lexi smiled and glanced at the door: "Thank you for your trouble"

That boy was quite unreserved, chattering away to her without pause, but she didn't catch a single word, feeling extremely annoyed inside, yet still wearing a faint smile on her face, showing no sign of impatience whatsoever

Meng Lai's fondness for him became increasingly evident, as every time he appeared, the conversation would revolve around him: "Jiang Shengzhuo has quite a taste in clothing"

This statement left Qiao Lexi perplexed. Why do all the girls who are interested in that fool Jiang Shengzhuo come to ask for her opinion? Is she his mother?

In the season of blooming flowers and warm spring breezes, two people sat side by side on a bench under a willow tree. Jiang Shengzhuo suddenly spoke up: "Hey, I have a buddy who has taken a liking to you. How about I introduce you two sometime?"

Qiao Lexi threw several pink and blue envelopes at him: "Here you go! Let me take a spot!"

In his youth, he was mischievous and did not realize that pollen allergies could be so severe; what started as a mere prank ended up having such serious consequences

Qiao Lexi saw the figure lying in the distance, with both hands resting behind his head. Due to his long legs, both legs could only dangle down to the ground.

Jiang Shengzhuo rested his hands behind his head, laughing heartily, as if he were merely a bystander, casually leaning against the bed

At that time, she had not been in contact with Jiang Shengzhuo for a long time, and she did not know why a single phone call from him could compel her to seek him out so recklessly

There is such a person, what does Jiang Shao mean

Qiao Lexi frowned: "Cultured? Ah, yes, a cultured scoundrel!"

Just then, Ren Jiaming came to find her, followed closely by Jiang Shengzhuo. Therefore, Qiao Lexi, with great reluctance, pointed at the tall and upright figure and said to Meng Lai: "There he is, Jiang Shengzhuo."

Qi Zecheng frowned as he looked at Jiang Shengzhuo, then glanced at Qiao Lexi: "Mr. Jiang?"

Uncle Bai, it has been a while since we last contacted each other. How has your business been recently

Qiao Lexi scoffed, "How can you compare yourself to them? They are angels in white, saving lives and healing the wounded, while you are a ruthless destroyer of beauty. By the way, what did you say last time? Right! The temptation of uniforms!"

"You are not going to eat, are you?" Qiao Lexi replied with a smile, while pressing her index finger firmly on the leg that was in a cast, applying continuous pressure.

She was puzzled; as soon as she opened the office door, she was taken aback by the sight of the office filled with champagne roses. She stood there in a daze for a few seconds, blinked her eyes, and after realizing what was happening, she abruptly closed the door.

Jiang Shengzhuo said inexplicably: "What have I pretended to be? Sigh, why do I feel like she has returned, yet you are so unwelcoming? Weren't you two as close as one person back then? You even specifically came to warn me to treat her well. How is it that in just a few years, you have changed so much?"

Jiang Shengzhuo lightly curled the corners of her lips, gazing ahead with a sarcastic tone as she elaborated: "Indeed, I am petty, not gentle as jade, and my name is quite ordinary."

Once in the car, Jiang Shengzhuo did not rush to drive. He turned slightly to the side and teasingly said: "What are you doing, covering half your face? Are you trying to evoke the image of a pipa player with half her face concealed?"

Speaking of this, Ye Zinan finds it somewhat difficult: "Well, Xiao Ziyuan has always been steady and measured. He only runs a couple of laps when he is extremely troubled. Therefore, yesterday he adhered to the traffic regulations and maintained a speed below 120."

Qiao Lexi wore an impatient expression: "Fine, do as you wish! From now on, you will keep quiet and not speak, do not disturb my sleep!"

Qiao Lexi snatched back the tissue, covered her face again, and gritted her teeth as she replied: "It's all that bastard's fault for sending me flowers for no reason!"

Jiang Shengzhuo felt a sudden jolt in his heart and instinctively replied, "Hmm?"

Qiao Lexi originally thought he would be down for a while, but to her surprise, just a few days later, he showed up at her school, holding onto a Chinese girl. He pointed at the girl and jokingly asked her if the girl's eyes looked like Meng Lai's.

However, she is currently not in the mood to appreciate his beauty

Jiang Shengzhuo had his hands in his pockets, leisurely matching her pace, and casually replied: "You should go eat with Wen Shaoqing."

Thus, the two began their long days and nights together. In their youthful exuberance, neither was willing to yield to the other, and each day was filled with mutual banter, creating a lively and chaotic atmosphere that was quite entertaining

Qiao Lexi pinched her face: "It's alright, fortunately it's not far apart, what difference does it make if we are on the same floor"

Qiao Lexi was astonished: "How come I didn't go to the wrong class, big brother?! I am in the science class, and you are in the liberal arts class. How could we be in the same class?!"

Qiao Lexi opened her eyes and glanced at him, annoyed: "Here we go again!"

She has always known that Jiang Shengzhuo possesses exceptional looks, making her, as a woman, feel ashamed of her own appearance. In his childhood, his skin was fair and tender, and his features were exquisitely beautiful, particularly endearing to others. As he grew older, his features became even more pronounced, and his face displayed clear and attractive lines, with deep and handsome features. His eyes were dark and narrow, and when he smiled, his gaze became hazy and enchanting, as if the delicate fragments of light could drown a person within them. His brow bone was especially well-defined, truly a 360-degree perfection. Standing tall and elegant, he was irresistibly charming, embodying the vibrant beauty of spring with a face reminiscent of peach blossoms, exuding a natural smile even before he spoke.

Qiao Lexi watched as the teacher passionately lectured at the podium, while she herself felt drowsy. At this moment, she envied Jiang Shengzhuo. She had once passed by Jiang Shengzhuo's classroom during class, and every time, Jiang Shengzhuo was sprawled on the back row desk, sleeping soundly.

Every time Qiao Lexi followed behind them, she felt as if she was wasting time and squandering her youth. Whenever Jiang Shengzhuo turned around to make a funny face at her, she wished she could kick him a few times, but due to Meng Lai's presence, she couldn't make it too obvious.

Qiao Lexi smiled and used the official response to brush her off: "No need to be polite, just call me Engineer Qiao. We are all here to learn together and make progress. Please come to my office for a moment."

She wanted to say something else when she saw Ye Zinan walking out of the elevator carrying fruit

Qiao Lexi, the teacher has called for you to go to his office.

Qiao Lexi pouted, having been seen through by him

Upon seeing Qiao Lexi, Liu Lei introduced: "This is Engineer Qiao, and this is Bai Jinjing, the new intern who will be joining our team from now on"

Jiang Shengzhuo turned his head to look at her seriously and smiled slightly: "In fact, no matter what name I mention, you would evaluate it the same way, even if it's just a cat or a dog, right?"

Li Shuyiao is also a clever person, accustomed to the affairs of the world, and immediately understood his meaning. After politely saying goodbye, she hung up the phone

Qiao Lexi placed her hand over her eyes and, after a long while, finally spoke in a voice that was incredibly weary: "Jiang Shengzhuo"

In fact, Qiao Lexi did not like Meng Lai later on

"Little nurse! The allure of the uniform, do you understand anything?" Jiang Shengzhuo muttered a couple of phrases and suddenly realized, "Wait, what do you mean by hemiplegia?! Is this what hemiplegia looks like?! No, is this really hemiplegia?! That's not right..."

At that time, Jiang Shengzhuo would periodically act as a matchmaker for her, slipping love letters and gifts into her hands, while casually saying, "Qiaolezi, I have a buddy who likes you, he's really great, why don't you just agree to it?"

Qiao Lexi, under the pretense of caring for the patient, indulges in leisure and vacation activities, sitting on the sofa opposite the hospital bed each day, reading magazines and eating fruit, completely at ease

Qiao Lexi kept her eyes closed and did not respond to him

Unlike Qiao Lexi's aggressive demeanor, Meng Lai is always calm and quiet, her smile like a warm spring breeze. Her fragility evokes Qiao Lexi's protective instincts, and from then on, the two became inseparable.

Qiao Lexi did not know what her feelings were when she uttered these few words

As soon as the door closed, Qiao Lexi asked, "I remember that this batch of interns was confirmed a long time ago, and the training is already nearing its end. They are about to start their practical internships, so what does it mean that a newcomer has suddenly been added now?"

Le Xi leaned half against Zhao Yangyang, feeling that this statement made sense. From now on, she should not read novels at night anymore, as it greatly affects her sleep.

Qiao Lexi and Ye Zinan had not yet reacted when two young nurses rushed to the bedside, asking gently and attentively: "May I ask what assistance Mr. Jiang needs?"

The atmosphere in the room was filled with a sense of unease, as it was well known within the company that Engineer Qiao must not be disturbed when revising the blueprints, as the consequences could be quite severe

When she knocked and entered, Jiang Shengzhuo was still holding the little nurse's hand, laughing in a way that was utterly uninhibited. He was staying in a suite, with a large and bright window by the bed, through which the crimson light of the setting sun poured in and illuminated him. The lines of his right profile were particularly soft, and one could clearly see the deep dimples on his cheeks. It was truly puzzling how a grown man could have such dimples.

Qiao Lexi still did not speak, but she unceremoniously pinched his forearm until the sound of a pig being slaughtered echoed in her ears, and only then did she feel relieved and let go.

Jiang Shengzhuo sat up and honestly made half of the seat available for her, took off his headphones, and played with a few envelopes in his hand without opening them. Tilting his head with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, he teased Qiao Lexi: "Oh, the good student in the teacher's eyes is skipping class again? What seems to be bothering you this time?"

After Qiao Lexi left the hospital, she received harassing phone calls from Jiang Shengzhuo every half hour, scolding her for being heartless and ungrateful, lacking compassion, and abandoning him alone and miserable in the hospital after more than twenty years of childhood friendship. Qiao Lexi was overwhelmed by the calls. Just as her previous project had just concluded, she decided to take a few days off to mock Jiang Shengzhuo up close. Such an opportunity was rare and hard to come by; since he had taken the initiative to confront her, she could not be blamed for bullying a patient.

However, she clearly knows that her discomfort is not solely due to this

The car slowly came to a stop beneath Qiao Lexi's building, and she had not yet awakened

When someone hurriedly ran to tell him that Qiao Lexi was unwell, he did not take it seriously. It was only when he arrived at the classroom and saw Qiao Lexi lying on the desk, her body red and swollen, that he panicked

In the confined space, the breath of one another adds a touch of ambiguity and tenderness, evoking a sense of intimacy akin to the brushing of ears and temples

Qiao Lexi looked at his pale face, which had lost weight in just a few days, and softened her tone: "This is a medicinal soup specially prepared for you by the hospital, made with the finest herbs. It will be beneficial for your recovery. Can't you drink a little more?"

The remaining half of the sentence lingered in the air, unspoken in Jiang Shengzhuo's furious gaze

"Not you yet!" The team leader gritted his teeth, "The young lady is here specifically for you! She heard that there is a beautiful and capable Engineer Qiao in the industry, and she came here out of admiration!"

Qiao Lexi understood clearly that Jiang Shengzhuo could not have forgotten; he was simply looking down on Qi Zecheng and deliberately making things difficult for him. She felt increasingly uncomfortable and did not want to continue entangling herself in this matter, so she tugged at Jiang Shengzhuo's sleeve and said, "Let's go quickly"

Qiao Lexi suddenly felt a bit annoyed, wondering why someone had to be so good-looking for no reason at all. Even their eyelashes were longer and more curled than hers

He was terrifyingly silent, and she did not dare to speak, only able to sit with him.

Qiao Lexi quickly glanced at Bai Jinjing, feeling reassured in her heart

She turned around and asked with a smile, "Young ladies and young men, is there anyone who likes flowers? If you do, feel free to go in and pick some."

By the afternoon, she began to sense that something was amiss; her head was swollen and painful, and while sneezing, she searched for tissues to wipe her nose. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing red spots that had already appeared, both red and itchy

Qiao Lexi was awakened by the noise, and as he groggily opened his eyes, he looked at his face with a look of confusion. After a while, he finally reacted: "Oh."

Jiang Shengzhuo furrowed his brows and asked, "Why are you allergic at this time? The pollen season has already passed!"

He set down the medicine, poured a glass of water, and placed it on the bedside before leaving

Meng Lai felt that perhaps he had expressed himself poorly, so he changed his wording to: "It looks quite unruly."

Qiao Lexi honestly replied: "I don't know"

Fortunately, she was fine later, and of course, he also had to endure a beating

After speaking, he turned around and left

Qiao Lexi gently rubbed her forehead: "It is quite uninteresting"

Jiang Shengzhuo was exceedingly attentive upon seeing a beautiful woman, while Qiao Lexi continuously rolled her eyes beside him

As soon as I sat in the car, I received a call from Li Shuyiao: "Sheng Zhuo, I just finished recording the program. Are you available to come pick me up?"

Jiang Shengzhuo continued to strive: "Hey, I have been abstinent for a long time, are you trying to tempt me to commit a crime?"

Hearing this answer, Meng Lai's face suddenly turned red, but she still mustered the courage to cautiously ask: "So... can I like him?"

From now on, the name Meng Lai is only permitted to be mentioned by him

No. Guan Yue did not know what she was looking at and waved her hand to dismiss her

Qiao Lexi widened her eyes and stared at him, her face filled with disbelief: "How can a grown man be so petty?"

Meng Lai held her arm, looking excited: "Le Xi, you are first again, truly impressive!"

Oh," Jiang Shengzhuo touched his ear, "I want to challenge myself, so I switched to studying science, and that's why I'm in the same class. It's fate, isn't it?"

"Hey, what’s going on?" Guan Yue asked while pointing in a direction with her chin raised.

Jiang Shengzhuo was taken aback, feeling both amused and helpless

Jiang Shengzhuo observed the situation and said: "Ah, this is really good, why don't you give it a try?"

At that time, she had just found another excuse to kick out one of Jiang Shengzhuo's good friends, truly not wanting to be a third wheel, so she began to refuse to attend. However, Jiang Shengzhuo never let her off the hook each time.

Qiao Lexi watched him approach, raising her chin to point at the person on the hospital bed: "Did you not boast about how extraordinary his driving skills are?"

Qiao Lexi was taken aback by his words, raising her head and widening her eyes to look at him, her face filled with disbelief

Later on, every once in a while, he would send her a group photo. In the pictures, the girl standing next to him either had eyes resembling Meng Lai, a nose like Meng Lai, or hair similar to Meng Lai

Upon entering the office, Qiao Lexi opened the window to let in some fresh air before finally taking a seat

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly reached out a hand to touch her forehead. His palm was warm and dry, and his fingers were long and well-defined. Qiao Lexi was still lost in thought when Jiang Shengzhuo suddenly withdrew his hand, then leaned his entire body closer, pressing her head against his forehead

Jiang Shengzhuo looked at the paper in her hand: "Is this it? She is still running a fever!"

Really? Lexi, you are too kind

It was from that time that she began to dislike Meng Lai. In her youth, she once wrote the following passage in her diary:

Jiang Shengzhuo handed over one end of the headphones and asked, "Would you like to listen?"

The teacher indeed came down and asked her with concern. A fair-skinned girl with good grades is naturally the object of the teacher's attention

Jiang Shengzhuo sighed and answered the call

Qiao Lexi felt a bit guilty and did not respond to him

... ...

Qiao Lexi looked at the person in the cubicle who was secretly laughing with their head down, feeling speechless. What era is this? How can there still be people using such a low-level method to pursue girls? He really should go learn from Jiang Shengzhuo about how to win a girl's heart.

Later, the male doctor handed the prescription to Jiang Shengzhuo: "Alright, go get the medicine!"

Qiao Lexi peered through the crack of the door and saw Jiang Shengzhuo standing outside, conversing with the doctor for quite some time. Afterward, she heard the laughter of the two, and then she saw Jiang Shengzhuo push the door open and enter.

Qiao Lexi did not know what role he was playing this time, and could only nod blankly

"Unrestrained?" Qiao Lexi pondered for a moment, "Actually, I think the first two words are more suitable for him"

Jiang Shengzhuo suddenly froze, the previously frivolous smile on her face completely vanished. After a long pause, she shook her a few times with force and asked, "What did you just say?"

What nonsense is that? Which brat are you listening to? He has the audacity to curse your son, and you didn't go up and give him a couple of slaps?

Qiao Lexi did not even open her eyes this time: "Jiang Shengzhuo, I have no strength left, please carry me up, the key is in my bag."

Where is Shi Chen

Jiang Shengzhuo smiled and said, "Oh, what’s going on? Why are you in such a bad mood? Have you caught a cold?"

It is also because of this matter that they have begun to frequently contact each other again

Qiao Lexi closed her eyes again, her tone calm and unperturbed: "Sure."

Causing trouble? Not at all, I have been behaving well lately, so you can rest assured. If you don't believe me, you can ask my brother.

Ah, Uncle Bai, I heard that you have a technical director named Qi Zecheng under your command

Ye Zinan clapped in support from the side, and then the two of them, disregarding Jiang Shengzhuo's protests, left the hospital one after the other

Qiao Lexi covered her nose with a tissue, hid her face, felt dizzy, and her whole body itched. She really had no mood to engage in small talk with him, and replied, "I like it, thank you very much."

In the afternoon, the dean, accompanied by a group of experts, came to see him in a grand manner. Jiang Shengzhuo leaned against the bed, pointing at the lunch box on the table beside him, wearing a dark expression as if he were a lord.

Jiang Shengzhuo defended against her attacks with his long arms and legs, and the two fought all the way until they got into the car, where they finally ceased hostilities

Jiang Shengzhuo fidgeted on the hospital bed for a while: "Hey, why are you ignoring me?! Qiaolezi? Qiao Gong? Qiao Meier? Le Xi? Le Princess? Le Empress Dowager?"

At that time, Qiao Lexi hated Meng Lai to the core. How could someone as cheerful and uninhibited as Jiang Shengzhuo be tormented to such an extent by her

What merit do I have to earn your money? How has your health been lately, sir

In the next moment, an orange object flew straight towards his forehead. He caught it with one hand and shouted, "Can't you be a little gentler? Can't you peel it and send it over? Didn't you see how gentle those little nurses were this morning? The hands of the one who gave me the injection were so fair and soft..."

Jiang Shengzhuo raised an eyebrow and teasingly asked, "Do you not know that a man's bed is not to be casually approached?"

Upon entering the office, the teacher pointed to a quiet girl and said to her: "Lexi, this is the new transfer student, Meng Lai. You will be sitting at the same desk from now on, and you should help each other and make progress together"

Qiao Lexi could not help but rub her aching ears, inwardly sighing that Zhao Yangyang truly has the potential to play a maid in a Qiong Yao drama

As the two individuals leisurely turned the corner, Qiao Lexi straightened up and said with a smile to Zhao Yangyang: "Yangyang, hurry back to class."

Qiao Lexi chuckled twice and said, "Why didn't you mention that his uncle from his mother's side came yesterday"

And you?

Qiao Lexi replied mercilessly, "Serves you right!"

Du Qiao rubbed his forehead; this boss is indeed a troublesome character. Do not be fooled by this man’s ever-present smile and carefree demeanor, which may seem frivolous and unorthodox, as he is nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing. At the negotiation table, he can strike without a trace, with a clear mind and sharp words, advancing like a hot knife through butter, leaving his opponents unprepared. Occasionally, when someone who is unaware of the truth offends him, he will seize the opportunity to deliver a merciless counterattack, showing no leniency. Furthermore, his methods are quite unique.

The people in the room looked at the seemingly docile Qiao Lexi and began to feel deep sympathy for the person on the other end of the phone. Qiao's subtle form of aggression was even more damaging than a loud scolding, and everyone entered a state of heightened alert, fearing that they might end up covered in blood.

Two individuals are practicing Tai Chi, one not straying from the main topic, while the other is not in a hurry to ask.

Qiao Lexi exclaimed in amazement: "Even in such circumstances, one can still attract admirers; truly impressive."

The next day, as Qiao Lexi just stepped into the office, Guan Yue called out to her from behind: "Team Leader Liu is looking for you"

Then close your eyes and continue sleeping

I fell asleep again while reading

Meng Lai thought for a moment and then suddenly pointed at a name, saying: "The name of the top student in the liberal arts class sounds very familiar, do you know them?"

Qiao Lexi brushed his hand away, turned over, and fell asleep again

Jiang Shengzhuo stood idly with his hands in his pockets and asked with particular arrogance, "Who are you?"

"It's quite touching," Qiao Lexi said half-jokingly, then suddenly asked, "What do you think has inspired Qi Zecheng recently? Why has he suddenly taken an interest in me?"

Ye Zinan's expression was somewhat complicated: "He said that he was in a bad mood yesterday"

Jiang Shengzhuo patted her again and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up and get off the car and go home to sleep."

Qiaolezi, there is a movie premiere tonight, and I happen to have tickets. Let me take you to see it! There will be a gathering of beautiful women and handsome men!

He gently patted her twice: "You should go home and sleep! If you stay here for the night, you'll be as exhausted as I am tomorrow."

She received half a bottle of intravenous drip, her symptoms gradually subsided, and she regained her spirits, teasing Jiang Shengzhuo: "Hey, that doctor just now, do you know him well?"

A group of experts hurriedly went outside

Qizicheng began to explain: "Mr. Jiang, please do not misunderstand, she is my girlfriend"

These two individuals, without a care in the world, have occupied the most innocent and beautiful period of Qiao Lexi's life

Jiang Shengzhuo turned his head to glance at the window and started the vehicle to leave

Qiao Lexi searched for a long time but could not find the medicine, and feeling itchy, her temper naturally worsened: "Why are you so talkative? I'm fine, I hung up! I'm busy!" After saying this, she hung up the phone

The doctor stood up, his white coat making him look exceptionally graceful. After a few minutes of examination and asking several questions, despite Qiao Lexi's face being swollen like a pig's head, sneezing, coughing, and tearing up, appearing utterly disheveled, she patiently cooperated with the handsome doctor.

During that period, Qiao Lexi frequently had the same dream, in which the sound of friendly teasing was incessant. Qiao Lexi sat at her desk in the classroom, inadvertently looking out the window, smiling as she watched the two figures.

After finishing work, she planned to quickly take a taxi home to take her medicine. Just as she stepped out of the office building, she was called to a stop by Qi Zecheng

After leaving the hospital, Qiao Lexi finally felt hungry and kicked Jiang Shengzhuo, saying, "Hey, I am hungry!"

Meng Lai could not continue and tentatively asked, "Le Xi, do you have any objections to Jiang Shengzhuo?"

Two people were arguing when Jiang Shengzhuo's phone rang. He glanced at the number and made a crying face at Qiao Lexi. Qiao Lexi leaned over to take a look and immediately became happy, wearing a face full of schadenfreude

Little did she know that Qi Zecheng was not finished yet, as he firmly grasped her wrist and said, "Don't go, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Upon arriving at the hospital, it was just the time for the end of the workday. Jiang Shengzhuo, being impatient, directly bypassed the normal procedures and took her straight upstairs. Qiao Lexi, sneezing, called out: "Hey, you need to register, where are you going? You haven't registered yet!"

Qiao Lexi has always believed that things should not happen more than three times, so when her phone rang for the third time, she felt she should answer it. She reached for her phone and gently asked, "Hello, who is this?"

Jiang Shengzhuo ignored her resistance and drove the car all the way to the hospital

She was half asleep, yawned, and spoke in a soft, muffled voice: "General Jiang, don't be so stingy. We've grown up together since childhood; can't you carry me just this once? Look, whenever you were in trouble and needed my help, I was always there for you. Isn't the essence of our childhood friendship about mutual assistance?"

Several experts turned their gaze towards the dean, who wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This... this..."

Qiao Lexi still hasn't made any move

The more she thought about it, the more she yearned for it. Unable to resist, she kicked her deskmate Zhao Yangyang under the table, and Zhao Yangyang immediately understood. Just as she buried her head down, she heard Zhao Yangyang's scream: "Lexi! What happened to you?!"

The sound by my ear is a carefree tune: "What’s up, buddy? In broad daylight, why make things difficult for women?"

For this, Guan Yue has been laughed at by Qiao Lexi countless times

Seeing her with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears, Jiang Shengzhuo did not forget to tease her. He got up and sat on the table, lazily draping his arm over her shoulder, with half of his body weight pressing down on her: "Hey, why do you seem not very happy?"

In fact, she has recently been looking for reasons to break away from him

Jiang Shengzhuo immediately refused: "You are so heavy, I will charge you for carrying you, get down and walk by yourself!"

Jiang Shengzhuo started the car with a sullen face. After driving just a few hundred meters, Qiao Lexi exclaimed, "Hey, you made a mistake! It's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten where I live! Why did you go straight at that intersection? You were supposed to turn right!"

As soon as Qiao Lexi, who had just started her job, stepped out of the elevator, she was pulled into Guan Yue's office. The internal structure of the offices was the same, but the difference was that Guan Yue's husband, Xie Heng, had filled the space with green plants, which he claimed were for radiation protection

Upon entering the office, Qiao Lexi leaned against the desk and put away her smile: "From now on, we will be working together. Before we proceed, there are a few things I would like to say to you. In engineering, there can be no room for error. What may seem like a minor decimal point issue here could translate into a discrepancy of hundreds of millions at the base station, and in severe cases, it could even endanger lives. President Bai has always had high expectations for his subordinates, and I believe you are aware of this. Welcome to our team, and I hope we can collaborate pleasantly in the future"

It serves them right, driving recklessly in bad weather

Qiao Lexi understood immediately, but no matter how she looked at Jiang Shengzhuo, she felt that he resembled a pimp.

Why do you say that about your son? Are you my real mother? I haven't been involved in any messy relationships... Who? Whose daughter? Please, she is stronger than I am, I can't even compete with her... Who else? I can't remember, truly can't remember... Oh, please, you mustn't let her come... Oh, mom, your son has the qualifications, looks, physique, and career, why would you worry about not finding a daughter-in-law... Let's talk about it later, I think I heard my dad coming back, you should go attend to him, I will hang up now, bye.

Guan Yue slapped her and said: "They have been hinting at their feelings for you since you joined the company, alright? It's just that you have been pretending to be foolish and not responding, so they had no choice but to make it explicit!"

Qiao Lexi buried her head in the quilt, which was infused with his refreshing scent. She slowly exhaled and then replied in a muffled voice: "No, I am merely mourning my youth that was devoured by dogs, all ruined by the two of you."

Jiang Shengzhuo, while grumbling inwardly, resignedly opened the car door and walked around to the passenger seat to carry her. Faced with such a petite woman, he had no choice but to concede.

Mr. Jiang was so enraged by Miss Qiao that he spat blood, yet Miss Qiao maintained an expression of indifference, and with just a few words, she could make Mr. Jiang's anger reach its peak.

While the two were conversing, the person lying on the hospital bed became displeased and raised their voice, saying: "Are you here to visit the patient or to chat? Could you show some concern for me, the patient?"

Qiao Lexi smiled cheerfully as she pinched her face: "It's nothing! You're not bad either!"

Jiang Shengzhuo was idly flipping through the newspaper beside him: "Hmm, I met him when I was studying abroad."

The two individuals exchanged a few words, and the previously oppressive atmosphere was completely lifted

On Christmas Eve, she walked down the streets of a foreign country with Jiang Shengzhuo. The atmosphere was lively all around, yet he seemed out of place amidst the festive cheer, appearing desolate and lonely, lacking the usual vigor and confidence he typically exuded.

Qiao Lexi leaned against the pillar, squinting at the sunset, and softly remarked: "Hmm, a beast in human clothing!"

Qiao Lexi looked innocent and naive: "No, not at all."

In fact, this is not the first time Jiang Shengzhuo has taken the girls around her. Since kindergarten, in addition to his own efforts to discover beautiful girls, Jiang Shengzhuo has also tapped into another source by pursuing the girls who are close to her, leaving no one untouched

Qiao Lexi knocked on the door and entered, where Liu Lei was speaking with a girl.

Meng Lai hesitated to speak: "Le Xi, you two grew up together since childhood, you... don't like him at all?"

He suddenly reached out and snatched the tissue from her hand, discovering that her originally fair little face was now red and swollen.

After the examination, it was confirmed that there were no major issues. The male doctor, while lowering his head to prescribe medication, earnestly inquired whether she had any allergies to the drugs. The more Qiao Lexi looked at the man before her, the more attractive she found him, her lips curling into a smile as she playfully nudged and gestured towards Jiang Shengzhuo.

"Why do you see me as so worthless?" Jiang Shengzhuo's expression unconsciously turned a few degrees colder

Qi Zecheng initially intended to follow, but was halted by Jiang Shengzhuo's gaze

Jiang Shengzhuo looked at her with a puzzled frown, while Qiao Lexi chuckled awkwardly, realizing she had misspoken. At a loss for words, she added the most clichéd remark: "It's okay, you will meet someone better in the future. Look at all these beautiful foreign women; you can just beckon them with a finger..."

Qiao Lexi expressed with a look of regret: "I see, no one likes it, then I can only throw it in the trash."

Mr. Bai means that you should teach her more. The young lady is also a returnee and will not cause you any trouble

Her subtext is that if there is nothing else, you should leave quickly so that I can unleash my full strength to deal with this scoundrel, lest I splatter you with blood.

Jiang Shengzhuo leaned on the table and winked at her: "You haven't gone to the wrong place, Qiaolezi, we are in the same class again, what a fate!"

Qiao Lexi has always been obedient and sensible in front of her superiors, readily agreeing in a crisp voice. Once she left the office, she carefully scrutinized Meng Lai.

Thus, Qiao Lexi received a jab because of a remark made by Jiang Shengzhuo

The next day, he limped to the hospital to see her, and she sat on the hospital bed, carefree, laughing at him.

Jiang Shengzhuo shouted inwardly: When have you ever saved me without reaping a great benefit from it!

Meng Lai noticed her gaze and smiled gently at her, exuding a warm and charming demeanor

Qiao Lexi glanced at him and said, "You must have hurt your brain..."

Qiao Lexi smiled and said: "So what is going on now? You are standing here, yet he is lying there?"

Upon reaching the third floor, he took her directly to a certain department, appearing to have a strong sense of purpose, unlike someone who was merely fooling around, and Qiao Lexi simply went along with him

Zhao Yangyang immediately took over the conversation: "Teacher, I will take her to the infirmary."

Jiang Shengzhuo turned to look at her: "Do you still dare to speak? First, you complained that he wasn't gentle enough; second, you said he was too shy... The last one even criticized him for not being good at math! Tell me, why is it that every guy around me who has a crush on you ends up in a bad situation? You truly are 'relentless in ruining others'!"

Later on, Qiao Lexi played various roles in their dates, such as a maid, a groom, a jester, a companion, and a mediator

"Jiang Shao? Oh, how did you think of calling me?"

At first glance, she could tell that this girl was not easy to get along with. With a smile that did not reach her eyes, she shook hands with her and stood quietly to the side, not expressing any opinion. The team leader noticed her intention and sent Bai Jinjing out.

As she suddenly turned around, she felt as if the world was spinning, and it seemed that there were indeed stars winking at her. Before she could speak, an arm grasped Qi Zecheng's wrist, forcing him to release his grip, and immediately that hand supported her.

Qiao Lexi sighed, she knew she could not keep it a secret.

Qiao Lexi felt goosebumps all over when he called her, and a throw pillow was hurled directly at Jiang Shengzhuo

As she approached, she saw him wearing headphones, leisurely closing his eyes to relax. She stared at his face; this person's complexion had always been on the fair side, as if he could never tan no matter how much he was exposed to the sun. That summer, his father had sent him to the army for two months of sun exposure, yet his face remained as refined as jade. The crease on his thin eyelids was clearly visible, his nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were slightly curled up, reflecting his good mood

Qiao Lexi looked infatuated: "Even the name is so warm and jade-like, it is truly rare."

While bending down to rummage for medicine in the drawer, I received a call from Jiang Shengzhuo

Qiao Lexi raised an eyebrow: "Is she Bai's niece? Then she can just go to any administrative department or logistics department, browse the internet, read newspapers, drink tea, and play games. Why come to the engineering department?"

He carried her into the elevator and through the door, finally placing her on the bed

In the end, Jiang Shengzhuo took her to a private dining restaurant that he often frequented. After they had eaten and drunk to their fill, Qiao Lexi got into the car and fell into a deep sleep.

At that time, light snow was falling, the streets were adorned with colorful decorations, and everywhere there were crowds of revelers. The two of them sat in front of the apartment door; she was fully armed to the teeth yet still felt cold, while Jiang Shengzhuo wore a gray thin sweater, topped with a black short coat, without even a scarf, allowing the snowflakes to fall on his exposed skin as if he were completely unaware of the cold

Alright, it is settled then

Jiang Shengzhuo looked at her and said: "Hey, think about it, count how many of my buddies you have kicked!"

Bai Jinjing is also an intelligent person. After listening to this combination of kindness and authority, he stared at Qiao Lexi for a few seconds, said nothing, and nodded before leaving.

Qiao Lexi is certain that Jiang Shengzhuo is different towards Meng Lai, and Jiang Shengzhuo's flirtatious nature has only intensified after breaking up with Meng Lai

Qiao Lexi was languid, like a cat basking in the sun: "Hmm, stuff it in for me."

Meng Lai observed that Qiao Lexi seemed disinterested, and not wanting to appear overly cheerful, he retracted his smile and turned to express concern for her: "Lexi, why do I see that you are not very enthusiastic about Ren Jiaming? Aren't you two in a relationship?"

The old gentleman is in good health and has no difficulty in giving me a beating

Qiao Lexi puffed up her cheeks and blew at her bangs, lazily saying: "Haven't you heard? He is even more famous for the speed at which he changes girlfriends"

She breathed a sigh of relief: "That... Ren Jiaming, right? I have something to attend to, so I will leave first. Let's get in touch another day." After saying that, she ran away

Jiang Shengzhuo hung up the phone and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, he couldn't help but smile; in the blink of an eye, Qiao Lexi had already fallen asleep on the hospital bed.

When Qiao Lexi first stepped in, she was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the nameplate on the door, muttering to herself: "I didn't take a wrong turn, why does it feel like I've entered a flower and plant market?"

Qiao Lexi did not ask them whether they were together; she was neither curious nor concerned.

His forehead was slightly cool, pressed against hers in a way that brought an indescribable comfort, soothing her restlessness

Jiang Shengzhuo released his grip upon seeing Qiao Lexi enter, and the young nurse dashed out in a hurry. As she passed by Qiao Lexi, Qiao Lexi cast a fleeting glance at her, prompting the nurse to run even faster

Jiang Shengzhuo smiled instead of getting angry, her face resembling the peach blossoms of March, fluttering in the wind, yet lacking any warmth: "She is your girlfriend? Haha ... ... "

Upon exiting from Guan Yue's office, Qiao Lexi noticed her colleagues in the office hall looking at her with inexplicable smiles, which made her feel uneasy

Hello, Qiaolezi, please pour me a glass of water

Meng Lai spoke more about this topic: "I have heard that he is very impressive; he can sleep in class and play basketball after class, yet still rank first in exams"

Qiao Lexi remembers that her heart ached fiercely at that moment, a feeling she still recalls to this day

Jiang Shengzhuo turned around with a smile, and suddenly saw a section of her exposed arm, which instantly wiped the smile off his face. He pulled her hand, rolled up her sleeve to take a look, and Qiao Lexi struggled to retract her arm.

Shi Chen and several others performed normally, always following Jiang Shengzhuo closely, which is why they were able to bring him to the hospital at the first opportunity

Qiao Lexi struggled a few times in vain, and the little remaining patience was finally worn out. Disregarding her usual demeanor, she abruptly turned around, only wanting to curse at someone

She thought to herself that the reputation of being well-behaved, understanding, gentle, and polite is not easily earned. Just as she was contemplating how to stop him from continuing, the class monitor approached.

Qiao Lexi looked at him, seeing that he was almost recovered, and planned to return to work. Before leaving that night, she said a word to him

Guan Yue let out a sigh: "It's really boring"

Jiang Shengzhuo suddenly turned to look at her, his eyes bright and clear, as if he had mustered great courage before speaking: "I have broken up with Meng Lai."

On the hospital bed, Jiang Shengzhuo had his right leg elevated and encased in a plaster cast, his arm wrapped in bandages, and his handsome face bore scratches, truly a sight of misery.

Later, Jiang Shengzhuo and Meng Lai held hands and journeyed across the ocean. Not long after, Qiao Lexi also went, but despite Meng Lai's repeated invitations, she did not apply to the same school as them.

Everyone looked at her, not understanding what she meant, and no one moved

Qiao Lexi frowned: "So how did he get into the car accident yesterday?"

... ...

Meng Lai occasionally came to find Qiao Lexi to play, and the two would stand in the corridor of the teaching building chatting. Sometimes they would see Jiang Shengzhuo and his group walking past the front of the building, seemingly always surrounded by others wherever he went, and he was always the most conspicuous one.

Qiao Lexi stepped out of the elevator, her high heels making no sound on the thick carpet. After taking just a few steps, she heard Jiang Shengzhuo teasing the nurse from the hospital room.

Jiang Shengzhuo pondered for a moment and said, "I have matters to attend to tonight; let's do it another day"

Qiao Lexi dared not move at all, as if even the slightest motion would bring her lips into contact with Jiang Shengzhuo's. She tightened her grip on the tissue in her hand; the unbearable itch that had been difficult to endure was no longer so distressing.

Qiao Lexi sighed inwardly, truly a remarkable individual

Jiang Shengzhuo immediately shouted loudly: "Qiao Lexi! Let go of me! I am eating! I am eating!"

Jiang Shengzhuo pushed her forward and said: "She is allergic."

Qiao Lexi thought carefully before giving a serious answer: "It's too familiar, I can't bring myself to eat it"

Those days of inviting a few friends, engaging in nonsensical and irrelevant conversations, watching mindless and trivial shows, and then indulging in excessive eating and drinking, raising glasses in carefree abandon, without a care in the world, are gone forever and will not return

She still remembers that Christmas a few years ago. After receiving a call from Jiang Shengzhuo that afternoon, she hurriedly drove for several hours to reach the location of his school

Jiang Shengzhuo touched her forehead, feeling that the fever had subsided, and then gently patted her, saying, "Ah, we are home."

You see what you are saying, you have taken my money, and I am not allowed to call you?

Guan Yue wore a smile that was anything but innocent: "Is there something going on recently?"

What a pity

Several male colleagues were surrounding Bai Jinjing, fawning over her, and the young girl's face was flushed with a rosy hue. Aside from everything else, Qiao Lexi quite liked this young girl, as she appeared sweet and adorable.

Jiang Shengzhuo once commented on Qiao Lexi, stating that not only is she sharp-tongued, but her gaze is also piercing, accurately assessing people at a glance

Everyone has left, yet Jiang Shengzhuo remains indignant: "Do you think what I said is right? Isn't it very unappetizing?"

Little did she know that just a few days after the start of the school year, she saw Jiang Shengzhuo sitting casually at the desk behind her in her class. She walked over and said, "Big brother, you must have entered the wrong class, right? This is the science class!"

Jiang Shengzhuo glared at her and said, "At this rate, it's too late for you to take any medicine. Hurry and go to the hospital to get checked out!"

Qiao Lexi casually tossed her bag aside and fell onto the bed, not uttering a single word

Qiao Lexi suddenly curved her lips, smiling sweetly, and replied indistinctly: "That's just perfect, the two of us make a pair."

In that moment, Qiao Lexi felt that Meng Lai was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen, not just pretty, but beautiful

Jiang Shengzhuo raised his head and glared at her fiercely: "It's easy to talk when you're standing, why don't you smell this strong herbal scent yourself? It's a miracle that I haven't thrown up!"

Qiao Lexi glanced in that direction and asked in a lowered voice, "I haven't been around these past few days, has anything happened?"

Qiao Lexi felt frustrated; a few years ago, she was clearly not as tall as her, so how has she grown taller and taller over these years

The teacher nodded, looking worried: "Le Xi, please pay attention to your rest, and don't study too late at night."

Qiao Lexi had never felt so delighted by the appearance of Jiang Shengzhuo

At that time, Qiao Lexi was already in a state of unconsciousness

When the buzzing vibration sound rang out for the third time, Qiao Lexi suddenly lifted her head from the blueprint and stared blankly at her phone

For a long time afterward, every time Qiao Lexi reminisced about those youthful years, a series of scenes related to the two of them would flash before her eyes

Qiao Lexi did not even lift her head, lazily responding with a "mm".

Little did anyone know that the long bench had been occupied by someone

Qiao Lexi raised her head weakly and replied: "Teacher, I feel dizzy"

After a few seconds, Jiang Shengzhuo released her, his tone unfriendly: "With a fever this high, why aren't you going to the hospital! I wonder who will take care of you if you end up as an idiot!"

Qiao Lexi kicked him hard with her foot, and Jiang Shengzhuo opened his eyes in a daze, confusion evident in his gaze: "What happened?"

Jiang Shengzhuo immediately broke into a beaming smile and cheered loudly, almost as if he were about to set off firecrackers in celebration. If it weren't for his broken leg, Qiao Lexi felt he would have jumped down to run a few laps in joy

Qiao Lexi was still in shock from earlier, and after a long while, she muttered: "Anyway, you don't need to support me, so why are you worrying so much..."

Meng Lai, the woman who occupied most of Jiang Shengzhuo and Qiao Lexi's youthful years, is finally coming back

Jiang Shengzhuo took a sip from her hand and spat it out: "Is this for people to drink when it's this hot?"

Qiao Lexi was annoyed and glared at Qi Zecheng: "Are you out of your mind!"

A few days later, during the break, Qiao Lexi was leaning on the desk working on problems when someone called out from the doorway: "Qiao Lexi, someone is looking for you!" After saying this, they even winked at her.

Jiang Shengzhuo noticed that something was amiss, retracted his smile, and tugged at her hair: "What’s wrong? You seem listless."

Meng Lai was momentarily taken aback: "He seems quite refined."

Qiao Lexi followed in and saw this scene, blinking her eyes, what a handsome doctor, refined and cultured.

The youngest grandson of the Jiang family is truly ... ...

Every time it is like this, Qiao Lexi is extremely annoyed, so she simply agrees, but she does not feel any so-called adolescent excitement towards the other party, and the final result always ends with her criticism.

Later, Jiang Shengzhuo and Meng Lai seemed to get along quite well. They did not make a grand announcement about being together, yet it was evident to anyone that there was a hint of subtle ambiguity between them

Qiao Lexi shook her head and sighed, her face contorted in distress: "Ah, office romances are the most troublesome! It's truly a rotten peach blossom!"

After a moment of distraction, Du Qiao quickly gathered her thoughts, picked up the documents on the table, and went in to find Jiang Shengzhuo for his signature

Half an hour later, Qiao Lexi stood idly at the door of the ward, not entering, just looking at Jiang Shengzhuo on the bed. After biting her lip and watching for a long time, she finally spoke: "I say, Young Master Zhuo, what route are you taking today? It is truly quite avant-garde."

Jiang Shengzhuo's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Ah, I was wondering why no one came to see me! It turns out the news was blocked!"

She has heard this question hundreds of times since she was young, and every girl around her would ask her this question. She even suspects that their initial approach to her was not genuinely for the sake of friendship.

Qiao Lexi retorted, "Isn't it meant for drinking? Or is it intended to be splashed on you? If you want to give it a try, I would be more than happy to oblige"

Qiao Lexi immediately retorted: "How dare you say that? Why don't you count how many of my friends you have mistreated!"

Bai Jinjing saw her and happily ran over, shyly smiling for a moment: "Sister Qiao, I have heard about you for a long time, and I hope to learn from you more in the future"

Jiang Shengzhuo let out a chuckle, pinching her nose and softly admonishing, "Little one, all you know how to do is complain!"

Qiao Lexi looked at the bowl of liquid that was indescribable in color, along with the strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine wafting through the air. She felt quite sympathetic towards him and after a moment's thought, she spoke up: "Can't you just tone it down a bit? If it weren't for your brother supporting you after the car accident, your family would have found out long ago! Your father would have come over to give you a good scolding. Instead of lying low, you keep looking for trouble. Do you want to die faster or something?"

Jiang Shengzhuo watched as she buried her face deeply into the pillow, and only then did he put away his playful smile, his expression turning serious, with the corners of his mouth slightly downturned

Jiang Shengzhuo protested discontentedly: "I will not eat!"

She looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, "Heaven is going to destroy me!"

There was a pause before responding: "Le Xi, I am Lai Lai, I want to come back"

Then why is it placed in our group

Qiao Lexi smiled and echoed his words: "It's rare to see a doctor as handsome as you! What is your name?"

She sighed: "Paratrooper"

With this thought in mind, she took out her phone, flipped to that number, and dialed it. As expected, no one answered.

Qiao Lexi stepped forward and smiled at the dean: "Don't mind him, is there anything wrong with his health?"

Jiang Shengzhuo was so enraged that he spat blood

After speaking, they joyfully and energetically rushed to their destination

Jiang Shengzhuo had not reacted much, but Qi Zecheng was displeased and once again grabbed Qiao Lexi's arm: "Lexi ... ..."

Guan Yue leaned closer: "In fact, Qi Zecheng can be considered a talented individual with a successful career. At a young age, he has already become the technical director. He is the youngest technical director in the history of our engineering department. Although he cannot be compared to those young masters around you, he comes from a scholarly family. Why are you not moved by this?"

"Laozi is priceless, you cannot afford him!" Jiang Shengzhuo tugged at her hair to prevent her from continuing to sleep

Qi Zecheng smiled as he introduced himself: "Mr. Jiang, do you not remember? We collaborated a few months ago. I am a colleague of Le Xi, the Technical Director of the Engineering Department, Qi Zecheng"

The young girl is also studying communication engineering; isn't it a waste of talent for her to go to those departments

The doctor's gaze shifted back and forth between Jiang Shengzhuo and Qiao Lexi several times before he smiled and said, "If you are really worried, just get an IV drip."

Early the next morning, Qiao Lexi stared at the front page headline of the newspaper featuring a report on a traffic accident, and the car in the photo looked strangely familiar to her

This time, Qiao Lexi quickly provided the answer: "Meng Lai is coming back."

Jiang Shengzhuo was speechless: "Then how dare you stay there!"

Jiang Shengzhuo was taken aback for a moment upon hearing her words, yet his expression and tone remained completely unperturbed: "So you came back, did you."

Upon arriving in the United States, Qiao Lexi never took the initiative to contact them, and those years also marked a blank period between her and Jiang Shengzhuo

Over the past few days, Qiao Lexi has resorted to the most malicious tactics, ridiculing, mocking, and scornfully taunting, leaving no opportunity unexploited, both overtly and covertly. Jiang Shengzhuo's body has yet to recover, and his energy is already limited. His once sharp tongue and eloquence have diminished significantly. Furthermore, Qiao Lexi has not hesitated to use force against him. In several confrontations, Jiang Shengzhuo has consistently been defeated, allowing her to have her way with him. Jiang Shengzhuo's body has yet to recover, and his energy is already limited. His once sharp tongue and eloquence have diminished significantly. Furthermore, Qiao Lexi has not hesitated to use force against him. In several confrontations, Jiang Shengzhuo has consistently been defeated, allowing her to have her way with him.

Jiang Shengzhuo stood silently beside her, rolling his eyes to express his disdain.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw an unfamiliar young man smiling at her, leaving her feeling perplexed. When she looked up, she spotted Jiang Shengzhuo standing not far away, exuding a relaxed demeanor, his posture languid, raising an eyebrow and smiling at her.

In fact, Qiao Lexi and Meng Lai were the best of friends at the beginning

Knowing that she was lying on Jiang Shengzhuo's back, she revealed her true nature as a big-tailed wolf, tugging at his ear and asking: "Xiao Zhuozi, am I not heavy at all? Am I? Am I?"

Meng Lai questioned: "Why not?"

Ye Zinan glanced at the person in the hospital room and said lightly: "I am not boasting, his driving skills are definitely the best among the people I know"

In the tranquil campus, amidst the falling rain and leaves, there are clean-cut boys and girls, their white shirts and skirt hems lifted by the gentle breeze, riding bicycles under the shade of trees, their youthful faces radiant, with an indulgent affection in their eyes that is thick and unyielding... a tender and hazy emotion...

She suddenly did not know how to react; although they had known each other for many years, it was natural to feel estranged and awkward after such a long period of no contact

Qiao Lexi began to punch and kick him, acting like a rogue: "Jiang Shengzhuo! I am hungry! Take me to eat now!"

Qiao Lexi carefully coaxed: "No, aren't you two of the same type? In fact, this kind of mischievous romantic guy is the most popular right now... Come on, what is his name?"

You are joking again, how could the old gentleman bear to lay a finger on you!

I... I didn't go down to the field yesterday because I was waiting for a call from my girlfriend

Qiao Lexi walked out listlessly, and Guan Yue approached her. The two stood at the corner chatting

As the door swung open, the male doctor, who had been hastily writing at his desk, looked up in surprise and then smiled, saying, "What brings you here? I was just about to finish for the day"

Jiang Shengzhuo has caused a commotion for so long, but has finally settled down, holding a bowl and drinking soup in large gulps, looking deeply aggrieved.

Meng Lai blushed and shyly looked at Jiang Shengzhuo, who, unfazed by the surrounding crowd and their jeers, wore a bright smile and spoke to Meng Lai with his head slightly lowered

The young nurse's face was flushed as she saw Qiao Lexi enter with a dark expression. Moreover, she had been the only one visiting Jiang Shengzhuo recently, leading her to believe that she was the legitimate girlfriend. Now that her boyfriend had been caught cheating red-handed, this was unacceptable, and she struggled fiercely.

Jiang Shengzhuo continued to laugh and said: "It's nothing much, just asking casually. How about we meet another day to chat?"

Jiang Shengzhuo's body is gradually recovering, but the wounds are both painful and itchy, constantly causing discomfort

Jiang Shengzhuo closed his eyes and murmured, "I have already become a person with disabilities, so please refrain from making sarcastic remarks."

Suddenly, the sound of Meng Lai filled with surprise rang in her ears. Although Qiao Lexi did not open her eyes, she could imagine the pair of eyes sparkling with joy.

Qiao Lexi's tricks were clear as day to Jiang Shengzhuo, and she did not refute it. Leaning back in her chair to bask in the sun, she lazily replied: "Dizzy."

Qiao Lexi protested: "It's not that serious, I'll just go home, take some medicine, and sleep it off! I won't go to the hospital!"

Jiang Shengzhuo let out a couple of hums, seemingly satisfied with her flattery, before finally uttering a name: "Wen Shaoqing"

Qiao Lexi glanced at him, stood up slowly, and poured a cup of boiling hot water to place in front of him

Qiao Lexi glanced at the beautiful spring scenery outside with her peripheral vision, and her mind kept drifting back to the long bench under the big willow tree, where lying down felt warm under the sun

More than half a month later, Jiang Shengzhuo, finally granted permission to be discharged from the hospital, dressed himself elegantly and appeared in the office humming a tune. A new young girl in the secretariat was still in the early stages of Jiang Syndrome, her face filled with infatuation and her eyes sparkling with pink bubbles, excitedly calling out to Du Qiao beside her: "President Jiang is back!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the young boys and girls were stirred with excitement, and in no time at all, the room was devoid of roses, for the allure of fresh flowers glistening with dew was indeed greater

Le Xi, did you receive the flowers? I was busy outside all day today and didn't have the chance to ask you, do you still like them?

Qiao Lexi scoffed, "Please don't flatter me, just speak plainly."

Qiao Lexi also felt wronged: "How would I know it would be so coincidental? I was still thinking that perhaps I am not allergic to that flower!"

My friend introduced me to another friend, and then they became deeply attached to each other, while I was left out. That feeling is very difficult to bear

Qiao Lexi stumbled slightly, and Jiang Shengzhuo promptly reached out to support her, casting a light glance in her direction

At that time, Qiao Lexi and Jiang Shengzhuo were both young. She had her hair tied in a ponytail, and he wore a white T-shirt, both displaying youthful innocence with their tender faces full of vitality

She glanced at the blueprints on the computer, then looked at the time, gritted her teeth, and continued to focus on her work

In the afternoon, Qiao Lexi was in the conference room with several key members of the team, diligently revising the drawings, completely focused and undistracted. Unfortunately, there were always some individuals unwilling to let her work in peace
