Chapter 40

Lu Xiaoqiao’s eyes were full of worry: “How can that be? What if it gets serious?”

After saying that, she turned around and glanced around. There was no sign of a pharmacy.

“There is a pharmacy outside my community. I’ll buy it for you when we get there.”

Zhou Qizhen looked down at her. His clothes were a little big for her. After she put them on, she looked even more petite and cute. The temperature outside suddenly dropped at night. Even with a coat on, her nose tip was still red from the cold.

“Yeah.” Zhou Qizhen agreed gently.

After having someone drive the car over, the two got in the car and drove towards Lu Xiaoqiao’s home. When they arrived near the community, before the car drove in, Lu Xiaoqiao asked him to park the car on the side of the road: “Mr. Zhou, please park the car in front of the pharmacy.”

After the car stopped, she opened the door, got out, and ran towards the pharmacy. 𝙒🅆𝙒.𝕍𝕆🅳𝙩𝕎1.𝙘🅲

The staff at the drugstore recommended several drugs to her. One of them was easy to use and had a small pungent smell, but it was the most expensive, costing 125 yuan. Another one with a stronger smell costing 45 yuan. Thinking about the current situation of her wallet, Lu Xiaoqiao was a little embarrassed.

“This one with a glass bottle is also easy to use, but the smell is a little stronger than the one in your hand.” Seeing her hesitant, the staff suggested.

Lu Xiaoqiao despised herself a little. If it weren’t for her, the other person wouldn’t have been injured. She was still hesitating about a few dozen yuan, which seemed a bit stingy.

“Just take this expensive one.”

After paying the money, she took the medicine and walked out.

She walked straight to the driver’s seat of the car, and Zhou Qizhen lowered the window when she entered.

“Boss Zhou, take this medicine back and apply it. I’m here now, so there’s no need to bother you to turn around and drive in. I can just walk in by myself.”

Zhou Qizhen lowered his eyes and glanced at the medicine she handed over. It was hard to tell what he was feeling. After a long while, he said softly, “I don’t know how to apply it.”

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then said: “It’s okay, there are instructions inside.”

Zhou Qizhen paused for a few seconds, and said slowly: “I can’t wipe it off by myself.”

Lu Xiaoqiao thought it made sense: “Then I’ll help you wipe it off today, and tomorrow you bring the medicine to the company and let Secretary Ding help you wipe it off.”

Zhou Qizhen nodded and agreed: “Okay.”

After getting back in the car, the two drove into the community. There were basically no parking spaces at this time, so Lu Xiaoqiao asked him to drive the car under a ginkgo tree next to the green belt.

Lu Xiaoqiao opened the plastic packaging, took out the medicine bottle and said, “Go outside and wipe it. This is a spray. Don’t spray it on the car.”

Zhou Qizhen said indifferently, “It’s okay.”

“It will definitely not come off if you spray it, and it smells strong. Are you sure you like this smell?” Lu Xiaoqiao felt that based on what she knew about him from Lin Lin, he would definitely not be able to stand the slightest strange smell.

Zhou Qizhen hesitated for a moment, then reached out to grab the coat behind the car seat. Lu Xiaoqiao took it off and put it there after getting in the car: “Then put on my coat. It’s too cold outside.”

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at what he was wearing, a shirt and a suit vest, which was thinner than what she was wearing: “No, my sleeves are too long and it’s not convenient to spray you with medicine later. Besides, I’m not cold now.” Seeing that she insisted on not wearing it, Zhou Qizhen had to give up.

When she opened the car door to get out, she thought that the birthday gift she gave him was still in her bag. She had never given gifts to any opposite sex except her father and brother, so she felt a little embarrassed after taking it out.

“Mr. Zhou, this is my birthday present for you. It’s a wool felt keychain I made myself. I hope you like it.”

She spent nearly five hundred dollars just to buy him this birthday present, which made her already poor life even worse.

Just now she spent more than a hundred dollars on buying him medicine. It seemed that since the unpleasant experience at the bar, she had spent all the money in her wallet on him. Now she only had thirteen thousand dollars left in her pocket.

The wool felt didn’t cost much, but the keychain on it was a little more expensive. There were cheaper ones, but they didn’t have the metal texture, so she didn’t buy them because she was afraid of fading.

Zhou Qizhen didn’t expect that she had prepared a gift for him. His eyes were full of smiles, and he couldn’t hide them: “Thank you, can I open it now?”

“Of course, it’s yours.”

Zhou Qizhen carefully tore open the outer packaging and opened the paper box inside. Inside was a three-dimensional puppy-shaped keychain: “Is this Tuanzi?”

Lu Xiaoqiao was full of surprise: “Did you find out?”

“Yeah, it looks very similar. Thank you, I like it very much.” Zhou Qizhen really liked it, and she made it for him personally.

“I’m glad you like it.” Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t expect him to really like it. After all, as long as he doesn’t dislike someone who can use a lighter worth more than 200,000 yuan, it’s fine. 🆆🅆𝙬.𝙑𝙊𝙙🅃🅆1.𝙘𝓒

After giving the gift, Lu Xiaoqiao felt relieved and opened the car door with the medicine bottle and got out.

Zhou Qizhen followed him down.

After taking a look at his shirt cuffs, she said, “Mr. Zhou, pull up your shirt cuffs.”

Zhou Qizhen did as he was told. The shirt he was wearing had cufflinks on it, so he had to remove them. Lu Xiaoqiao had only heard of them but had never seen what they looked like. She didn’t know how he did it, but the cufflinks came off with a slight movement of his left fingers. In fact, she was very curious about how it was done, but she didn’t dare to ask.

Lu Xiaoqiao shook the medicine bottle twice, opened the bottle cap, and said to him, “Put out your hand.”

Zhou Qizhen obediently stretched out his hand. Lu Xiaoqiao took his hand and sprayed it on the back of his hand twice. It was not known whether it was the coolness of the medicine that made him tremble slightly: “Is it cold or painful?”

Zhou Qizhen said with an unnatural expression, “No, it’s okay.” His heartbeat was a little fast and he couldn’t control it.

Lu Xiaoqiao handed him the medicine bottle.

“Oh, take this, I’m going to rub it for you so that the medicine can be absorbed faster, so you can get better faster.”

After he took the medicine bottle, Lu Xiaoqiao gently placed her hands on the back of his hand and rubbed it gently. Her eyes were only focused on the back of his injured hand, and she didn’t notice anything unusual about him.

Zhou Qizhen’s heart was already beating like a drum. He stared at Lu Xiaoqiao’s cheek. Every time her white and slender fingers moved on the back of his hand, it spread throughout his body like an electric current, and he felt numb and couldn’t even breathe smoothly.

After rubbing for a while, Lu Xiaoqiao put down his hand: “Okay, the medicine has been absorbed by rubbing. After taking a shower, you can spray it on yourself before going to bed. It will heal faster without rubbing.”

Zhou Qizhen moved his wrist and said, “Okay, thank you!”

“You are too polite, Mr. Zhou.” If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have been injured.

“There are wet wipes in the car, wipe your hands.”

Lu Xiaoqiao politely replied: “No, I’ll just go upstairs and wash them. Then, Mr. Zhou, please be careful on the road. I’ll go upstairs first.”

“Xiao Qiao, wait a minute.”

Zhou Qizhen said a little awkwardly: “I have something to tell you, let’s go in the car and talk.”

After that, he helped her open the passenger door.

Thinking it was about Lin Lin, Lu Xiaoqiao got in without thinking much.

Zhou Qizhen handed her a wet wipe to wipe her hands, but she wiped her hands after sitting in for a long time, and he didn’t speak.

Lu Xiaoqiao asked in confusion: “Mr. Zhou, didn’t you say you had something to say? What is it?”

Zhou Qizhen tightened his hands on the steering wheel and spoke carefully.

“Xiao Qiao! You, what do you think of me?”
