Following.

Tiangong is still not beautiful, and the imperial capital is still a continuous rainy day.

The air was filled with moisture and cold.

The road was also wet, with small puddles all over the ground.

A pair of spotless high heels stepped on, and the corners of the trench coat flew with the cold wind.

Xu Qingzhi entered the café, and she walked to the corner with a clear purpose.

Su Ciyi was sitting there, slowly drinking the coffee in his hand.

Seeing Xu Qingzhi coming, she nodded and motioned for Xu Qingzhi to sit down.

Xu Qingzhi sat down opposite Su Ciyi with a coolness from the outside.

As soon as she sat down, Su Ciyi put down the coffee cup, omitted the greetings, and said directly: "I have something very important to tell you, but the premise is that you must also be worthy of my trust." ”

Her straightforwardness made Xu Qingzhi stunned for a moment.

Immediately, Xu Qingzhi stared at Su Ciyi with a smile, "I have entrusted my physical health to you for treatment, isn't it enough for you to trust?" ”

Su Ciyi was silent, looking at Xu Qingzhi, there was calmness and calmness in those apricot eyes that were incompatible with the dress of a village girl on her.

She didn't speak, and the atmosphere didn't freeze.

Xu Qingzhi still maintained his generous and decent smile.

Su Ci commented on Xu Qingzhi's frank appearance, hooked his lips, and said, "What you said makes sense...... However, can I understand that you really came to me for treatment in desperation? ”

Su Ciyi stirred the coffee in his cup, and his eyes locked on Xu Qingzhi.

The eyes cast from behind the heavy frames of her glasses inexplicably made people feel sharp, as if there was nowhere to hide under this gaze.

Xu Qingzhi paused, and even his body sitting on the chair tensed up for a while.

There was a moment of astonishment in her eyes.

It seems that he didn't expect to hear this from Su Ciyi's mouth.

Su Ciyi was unhurried, watching Xu Qingzhi quickly adjust his state, and raised his lips again to show her smile.

It's just that this time, her smile was a little vain, "I don't know what Shi Gu means by this...... I have always been treated by the second hall master before, and he was temporarily replaced by Ripple after he temporarily left Shanren Hall. ”

The implication is that she has no shortage of doctors to treat her.

Su Ciyi shook his head, looked at Xu Qingzhi, and said: "Miss Xu, you know I'm not talking about this, I'm just a little person with no family background and no background, I don't want to participate in the struggle of your big families or big forces, I know very well that with a character like me, I will only become cannon fodder." ”

"If you want to pull me into this whirlpool, shouldn't you talk to me openly and honestly?"

"I can tell you responsibly that Song Lianyi has found me."

Su Ciyi only said this.

But Xu Qingzhi's pupils had suddenly constricted, and the smile on his face couldn't be contained.

She lowered her head, brushing the broken hair that had slid down her cheeks behind her ears with some trepidation.

"Sorry......"

Except for apologizing, Xu Qingzhi didn't know what to say for a while.

She didn't know that Su Ciyi would have such insight and be able to see through so many things.

Su Ciyi took the already cold coffee in front of him, took a sip, and said, "Miss Xu doesn't need to apologize to me, I understand your helplessness, and you just want to live." ”

If she hadn't been forced to be helpless, how could a dignified young lady of the Xu family find her a young doctor with no name.

Xu Qingzhi raised her head, bitterness spread in her eyes, and she pulled her lips with difficulty and smiled, "Shi mushroom, you are really smart." ”

Too smart.

Smart enough to see through her isolation at a glance.

Xu Qingzhi laughed at himself, his eyes were full of sadness, "I know it's very unfair to you that I'm doing this, but I can't help it, my body ...... I won't be able to last long, but I still have a lot of things to do, and I can't just die like this. ”

After that, Xu Qingzhi suddenly looked at Su Ciyi urgently, her face was full of begging, she squeezed her hands nervously, and asked in a choked voice: "Since Song Lianyi has already looked for you, what do you think?" Will you continue to help me? ”

"Don't you even ask Song Lianyi what he told me?" Su Ciyi asked rhetorically.

Xu Qingzhi was silent.

She lowered her eyes and smiled sarcastically, "Is it necessary to ask?" ”

Su Ciyi: "......"

It seems that Xu Qingzhi can see it quite thoroughly.

The bitter taste of the coffee still lingers on the taste buds, which makes people feel refreshed, and the thoughts in Su Ciyi's mind are also extremely clear.

Everything makes sense -

So Xu Qingzhi has been looking for "her" since the beginning because of a string of jade bead bracelets, in order to probably find someone to treat her.

Su Ciyi boldly guessed, because now her condition was all in the hands of the Xu family and Shanrentang.

Xu Qingzhi couldn't get rid of it for the time being, he couldn't resist, and he could only obey.

She couldn't find Su Ciyi, who gave her a bracelet.

But she met Shi Mushroom, who dared to be kind to Shanrentang.

After Su Ciyi slapped Song Lianyi and the doctors of the second hall master again and again, and directly sent the evidence of Ajuan's stealing of the dressing to all the doctors and guests of Shanren Hall.

It made Xu Qingzhi even more sure that "Shi Mushroom" was the first person who could get rid of the control of Shanrentang.

This is also her hope to get rid of the control of Shanrentang and the Xu family.

At this point, Xu Qingzhi came to the door to cooperate.

But what Xu Qingzhi didn't know was that Su Ciyi also needed her.

Su Ciyi tasted the astringency of the coffee on the tip of her tongue, "tsk", and said, "The coffee in this shop tastes good, I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered you a cup of their signature latte." ”

As if to comply with Su Ci's words, the waiter also happened to come forward with the coffee that had been made at this time, and put the coffee in front of Xu Qingzhi with a good attitude.

"Your signature coffee is ready, please slow down."

The waiter stepped back.

The atmosphere was also interrupted.

Xu Qingzhi looked at the coffee in front of him, and looked at Su Ciyi with some complexity, completely unable to figure out what the person opposite was thinking.

The hot coffee was still steaming, Xu Qingzhi's hand clenched the forbidden, and then released it weakly, and finally took a sip of the coffee.

This bitter taste made Xu Qingzhi feel numb.

No matter how bitter it is, it can't compare to the medicinal bitterness she has eaten over the years.

"Doctor Shi, since you already know the twists and turns behind these things, then you can give me a refreshing feeling, as long as you are willing to continue to help me, I can give you everything you want, and I can afford to give it."

Xu Qingzhi said that he already had a great look of death.

She was ready to be rejected by Su Ciyi.

After all, Su Ciyi is right, a little doctor with no identity, no status and no background will only become cannon fodder.

One day she can't hold back, and she can't protect her.

Just like that year......

Xu Qingzhi closed his eyes as if he had thought of some painful memory.

Su Ciyi stirred the coffee in the cup, looking at Xu Qingzhi meaningfully, and the apricot eyes were surrounded by an indescribable faint glow.

She is not a person who is prone to pity.

Even if the person opposite is Xu Qingzhi, it's the same.

Since the death of her mother, Su Ciyi's best thing is to weigh her pros and cons.

Xu Qingzhi is busy, of course she has to help......

Not only that, but she also has to help beautifully.

After all, it's even more valuable to send charcoal in the snow.

Su Ciyi's voice was soft, floating in the cool air, "Miss Xu, I've helped you with your favor." I'm not short of money, but you do have what I want. ”

As she spoke, she took out a bottle of medicinal powder from her pocket and put it in front of Xu Qingzhi.

"This, I prepared the medicinal powder in the jade bead bracelet for you, you can use it with confidence, the medicinal effect is definitely the same as the medicinal powder in your previous jade bead bracelet."

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, then took out another thing from her pocket and put it in front of Xu Qingzhi.

"This is what I want."

It was an old yellowed photo, and although the corners of the photo were curled and damaged, the owner's love and cherishment could still be seen.

And on the photo is a middle-aged woman who looks gentle and has a virtuous temperament.

The woman's eyebrows and eyes are smiling, gentle as the warm sun in the middle of winter, able to melt the snow, even if a person reaches middle age, years and time still can't smooth out the kindness and warmth of her body.

The moment Xu Qingzhi saw the person in this photo clearly, his little face immediately turned pale and bloodless.

She was panicked and flustered, even her pupils were trembling, and she raised her head violently in anger to stare at Su Ciyi, and even almost knocked over the coffee in a nervous way.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Su Ciyi looked at her reaction like this, and her heart couldn't help but relax, and then it tightened again.

It seems that Xu Qingzhi and his mother really have a relationship.

This means that the Xu family is likely to have a relationship with his mother.

Su Ciyi said, "Miss Xu, do you know the person in the photo?" ”

Xu Qingzhi didn't answer, he still stared at Su Ciyi, his eyes were full of vigilance and vigilance, "You tell me, who are you......"

Even her voice was shaking.

Su Ciyi frowned, and replied patiently: "I am Shi Mushroom, not someone else, the person in the photo is the person I care about." ”

When Xu Qingzhi heard this, he glanced at Su Ciyi deeply, and his eyes couldn't wait to be carved into her eyes to see if what she said was true or false.

Su Ciyi continued: "I don't want much, I know that Miss Xu knows the person in the photo, I just want to hear Miss Xu tell me what happened to her." ”

Xu Qingzhi looked at Su Ciyi, she was chilling all over, and her blood seemed to be about to freeze.

Her face is now ugly, very ugly.

As if to relieve the extreme tension in his emotions, Xu Qingzhi picked up the coffee cup in front of him and wanted to take a sip.

But her hand was shaking so badly that the coffee cup swayed in her hand, and a lot of coffee liquid spilled out.

Su Ciyi frowned.

And Xu Qingzhi also realized her gaffe, she irritably put the coffee cup back on the table, making a muffled "bang" sound.

She cupped her forehead, something flashing through her mind.

Then, a sharp pain came from the brain.

"Uh......"

Xu Qingzhi closed his eyes in pain and shook his head hard, trying to alleviate the pain.

But it didn't work.

The pain is coming, and you can't stop it.

"My head hurts......" Xu Qingzhi murmured in pain.

Su Ci's face changed.

Not good!

By the time she got up and rushed to Xu Qingzhi's side, Xu Qingzhi had already fainted with a white face.
