Chapter 200: How can someone be neither greedy for money nor lustful

Shen Li reached out and hooked her arms around his neck, taking the initiative to respond to his kiss, her kissing technique unskilled and without much finesse.

Shen Li panted, breaking away from his kiss, the infatuation still lingering in her eyes, "Turn off the light, I'm not quite used to it."

"Okay."

Once the room fell into pitch darkness, his waist slowly pressed down.

After getting familiar with it last night, she didn't retreat much, and with the intention of pleasing him, she took the initiative to accommodate his invasion.

"Does it hurt?" His hoarse voice rang out in the darkness.

Shen Li hugged his waist, placed her hands on his cold back, bit her lip, and responded with a muffled groan: "It's okay."

Xie Qin buried himself in the crook of her neck, biting her earlobe, his movements softening, "Tell me if it hurts."

The corners of her eyes were red, also stained with desire: "Mm."

An exhausting pleasure.

After it ended, Shen Li lay on the bed, her long, black, shiny hair messy, her forehead soaked with sweat, eyes closed, moist tears hanging on her long eyelashes, her whole body limp, her arms hanging weakly off the side of the bed, not even having the strength to move her fingertips.

Her body was sticky and very uncomfortable.

After Xie Qin wiped her clean with a tissue, he scooped her up and went to the bathroom.

Then they dawdled for almost an hour before coming out.

It was already almost three in the morning when the two of them fell asleep.

Shen Li woke up from a deep sleep, her cheek still rubbing against Xie Qin's warm chest. Xie Qin was also exhausted, his hand resting on her waist. She slowly slipped out of the confinement of his arms and got up quietly without waking him.

She felt for the night light by the bedside. The warm yellow light outlined his quiet sleeping face; the messy hair on his forehead covered his eyebrows and eyes, and the sharpness of his usual self was covered by gentleness.

Her gaze gently traced his outline, then moved to the hand resting at his side. Shen Li extended her trembling fingertips, gently lifting the cuff of his right sleeve, revealing that section of fair forearm.

Shen Li lowered her head and leaned in to see that there was a scar on his forearm that had already faded; where the injury had been, there was a pale vertical line, and one could faintly see where it had once been stitched.

Shen Li's fingertips trembled as she touched this spot.

The sentence Xu Zhouyuan told her rang in her mind: His hand was broken; just in this area, the bones were shattered.

Some images surfaced in her mind again.

Her nose couldn't help but feel sore.

Xie Qin...

At that time, were you in a lot of pain?

She stared blankly, watching for a long while.

Weekend, the next morning.

Shen Li hadn't woken up fully herself, but she still set an alarm for 6:45 to get up.

Right on time, no lingering in bed, the most clear-headed morning ever.

Shen Li put on her clothes first, then found a jacket he usually wore from the closet and put it on him.

"Seven-thirty, need to draw blood on an empty stomach, can't be late."

Master Xie rarely enjoyed her affection; the sleepiness hadn't dissipated yet, but the corners of his mouth curled first: "Kiss me, and I'll get up."

Shen Li hesitated again, kissing his cold lips once.

He pushed his luck.

Xie Qin's eyes lifted slightly, the smile deepening a bit more.

Seeing the faint red bloodshot eyes in her, it was clear she had been thinking about this all night.

Xie Qin didn't make a fuss, got out of bed, pulled up his pants, and zipped them. He went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water to wake up.

Driving early in the morning, he followed Shen Li to the hospital.

At the Jiangchuan University Affiliated Hospital, Xie Qin walked slowly, looking around the hospital, "You'll be working here in the future?"

Shen Li: "Mm."

Xie Qin stared at her and asked: "Being a doctor, is it quite tiring?"

Shen Li held the physical examination form and met his eyes: "Everything is quite tiring now; when you code, don't you always stay up late too."

Xie Qin was silent and hesitated for a while, feeling she was right, and nodded in agreement: "That's true."

It took more than an hour to finish the whole set of physical examinations.

The physical examination report would take about a week to come out.

It was about nine o'clock.

The two prepared to go back.

Just at this moment, Shen Li's phone suddenly rang. Seeing the message, her pace slowed down.

Yang Ting: 【Sister, I heard you're back. Mom and Dad want to see you.】

Xie Qin held her hand, and seeing her staring at the phone in a daze, he turned his head and asked: "Whose message?"

Shen Li hesitated and replied: 【Okay】

Yang Ting replied instantly: 【Is Wednesday okay?】

Shen Li: 【Mm.】

After replying to the message, Shen Li put away her phone and told Xie Qin: "It's Yang Zhou, Teacher Yang's daughter."

Xie Qin thought about it carefully and couldn't find the existence of this person, "Do I know her?"

Shen Li said warmly: "You might not remember."

She told him about what happened back then; what she had to say was a bit long, and it had to start from a very early time.

Xie Qin listened to her finish patiently.

"... The situation is about like that. My mother froze my bank card, and I only had a few dozen yuan in pocket money left, not enough to pay the class fee."

"At that time, when I didn't know what to do, he helped me."

"To repay him, I could only use this way to repay him."

"This five hundred might not be much, but... just because I had this money, I was able to afford the train ticket back to Su Shi and pay the class fee."

Xie Qin's eyes darkened, a sense of depression in his chest, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

When Shen Li said these words, her tone was extremely calm, as if it were just a trivial matter to her. Seeing his expression, she still spoke to soothe him: "... I know, if I had been willing to ask you at that time, you definitely would have given it to me."

That's right.

At that time, the first time Xie Qin saw her, he had fallen for her.

Let alone five hundred, even five thousand, fifty thousand, he would have been willing to take it out.

"But... I hadn't fallen for you yet at that time, had I?"

Xie Qin's expression shifted, but he still felt guilty, pulling her into his arms, "I was too much of a jerk, making you unwilling to even pay attention to me."

This emotion mostly came from heartache.

He hadn't known that she had it so hard at Chengde University.

Shen Li curled her lips; what was this? She wasn't sad, but instead had to comfort him, "You were already very good to me."

"Besides, you also gave me a card, it was me who didn't take it."

"So it cancels out."

Xie Qin remembered this.

Class dinner, after eating, she stood there crying alone.

He didn't know what had happened, so Xie Qin took off his jacket, covered her head with it to hide her disheveled appearance, and pulled her into the mall's safety corridor to comfort her.

She said she lost her wallet.

Xie Qin took money out of his own pocket and gave her a stack of cash, probably feeling it wasn't enough.

He took out his entire fortune and gave it to her.

The money in that card was enough to buy a house in Haishi.

Xie Qin's spending speed couldn't keep up with Yu Lizhen's money-transfer speed.

He would receive a dozen transfer notification messages a day, and WeChat was full of her messages.

WeChat message: 【Son, the stock went up again today, Mom will give you more pocket money.】

【Son, Mom just signed a few big orders today, is your pocket money enough?】

【Son, Mom is happy today, here's some more pocket money.】

Xie Qin remembered and also felt it was interesting. He let her go, curled his lips, and pinched her face lightly, "At that time, I was also quite depressed, how could there be someone who is neither greedy for money nor lustful."

"If you were greedy for just one, wouldn't I have gotten you already!" ===== CHAPTER 201 =====
