Chapter 1: The Beautiful Big Girl
Su Ziqiang saw Xia Tian at a glance, and his face changed. As the saying goes, "enemies meet with red eyes". In Su Ziqiang's eyes, Xia Tian was absolutely his sworn enemy.
As a direct descendant of the Su family, Su Ziqiang had always been smooth sailing from childhood to adulthood, and basically never encountered any setbacks. Although he had fought with others before, it was always him beating others up, but this time, he was actually beaten by someone, not just once, but twice, and was even knocked unconscious and hospitalized, which was a great humiliation!
That day, when he woke up in the hospital, he called his third brother Su Junfeng. In the past, whenever he had a problem that couldn't be solved, he would always find his third brother to solve it. He thought that this time, his third brother would also help him and put that scoundrel Xia Tian in prison for ten or eight years. But what he didn't expect was that the next day, he received news that his third brother wouldn't pursue the matter, and that little brat Xia Tian had been released from the police station.
He went to question San Ge, but San Ge said he owed Xia Tian a personal favor and this time was returning the favor. He told him not to pursue it further, although at the time he agreed, in his heart he didn't think so, how could he not pursue it?
He had already investigated some things about Xia Tian, and found out that he was just an employee of the Xiang Xiang flower shop, with no money or power, but seemed to know some martial arts, and was quite fierce in a fight. In Su Zhiqiang's opinion, such a person was not worthy of being his opponent. These days, only those with money and power were considered big shots, knowing how to fight was just a skill that could be hired out to others, what did it matter if he knew how to fight? As long as he had money, he could hire ten or a hundred people who were even better at fighting!
"In these times, there are all sorts of people. Even a migrant worker who delivers flowers comes to a high-end Western restaurant!" Su Ziqiang said with sarcasm.
"Are you talking about me?"
"Did I say anything wrong?" Su Ziqiang sneered, "Looking at your outfit, I really doubt if you have enough money on you to pay for this meal!"
"Sir, your beef patties." At this time, the waiter brought two beef patties.
"Hey sister, how much does this meal cost?"
"Sir, this is eighty-eight yuan per serving." The waiter explained.
"Oh, so that's what you mean. Two sets will be one hundred and seventy-six." Xia Tian looked at Su Ziqiang, "You're usually stupid, but this time you actually said something right, I only have one hundred yuan on me, the money really isn't enough."
"You, you say I'm an idiot?" Su Ziqiang glared at Xia Tian angrily.
"What's it to you if I'm not an idiot? Where I eat is none of your business! Whether I have money to eat or not is also none of your business! I'm not eating at your house or in the restaurant you own, even if I didn't pay, it's not for you to worry about. Yet you still come over here and nag me, aren't you idiotic enough?" Xia Tian glared at Su Ziqiang, "I'm warning you, don't come bother me, otherwise I'll beat you up!"
Dozens of eyes in the restaurant stared at Su Ziqiang together. This guy really had a problem, if others didn't have money to eat, what business was it of his?
"Sir, don't disturb this gentleman while he's eating." The waitress also spoke up, and Xia Tian had just called her "sister", which made her very happy.
Su Ziqiang seemed to have offended everyone, so he didn't say anything else and sat down in the position next to him, thinking that this kid had no money. Wait until it's time to pay the bill and see how embarrassed he'll be!
"Yunman sister hasn't come out yet?" Xia Tian whispered, smelling the aroma of beef, and decided to start first.
One hand holding a knife and one hand holding a fork, but somehow it still feels a bit awkward. Xia Tian couldn't help but mutter: "Using chopsticks is still more comfortable."
"Country bumpkin, can't even use a knife and fork." Su Ziqiang couldn't help but mock again.
"You actually said I don't know how to use a knife?" Xia Tian was very displeased, thinking that his second master had been a skilled knife user back in the day. He himself had surpassed his master, although he usually didn't like using knives and preferred to use his fists. But now this guy was saying he didn't know how to use a knife? This was simply an insult to his second master!
"It's not that I said you can't, it's just that you really can't!" Su Ziqiang sneered, "I think it's better to let the waiter give you a pair of chopsticks!"
"Then I'll show you!" Xia Tian picked up the knife with his right hand and held the plate with the beef patty in his left. His left hand slightly shook, and the beef patty flew into the air.
At this time, Xia Tian's right hand moved, his wrist flipped and the small knife danced quickly. Everyone saw only a flash of silver light, felt dizzy, but couldn't see the specific scene clearly.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang..." Xia Tian put away his knife, and everyone only heard a light sound. Piece by piece of beef slices, each about an inch square, fell onto the plate, arranged neatly and evenly.
"That's amazing!"
"Is this magic?"
"You're really a master of knife skills..."
"What a pity, should have taken it with my phone..."
A group of people in the restaurant whispered to each other, and their eyes on Xia Tian were all different, with envy, admiration, regret, and jealousy intertwined.
Summer picked up a fork and speared a piece of beef patty, putting it into her mouth: "Mmm, tastes good..."
"Hey, idiot, if you're so capable, try using a knife like me!"
Su Ziqiang's face was extremely ugly, he really didn't expect Xia Tian to come up with this, although he suspected that Xia Tian had a tendency to steal the concept, but he also knew that at this time, if he continued to mock Xia Tian on this issue, it would be useless.
"What's the use of having a knife?" Su Ziqiang was not willing to lose face so easily, "When you can't afford to pay the bill later, do you want to solve it with a knife too?"
Su Ziqiang's words are quite vicious, isn't it obvious that he is saying Xia Tian wants to eat the king's meal?
Xia Tian stuffed another piece of beef into his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed: "Idiot, I don't have money to pay the bill, but later on it won't be me who pays the bill."
"Didn't you invite me to pay the bill?" Su Ziqiang was taken aback at first, then suddenly remembered that there were two steaks in front of this guy, and it seemed that someone else was eating with him!
"That's right, today I'm treating Xia Tian to dinner, so of course I'll be the one paying." Wen Wan's voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention over.
Su Ziqiang suddenly felt a kind of electric shock, she was too beautiful, such a beautiful woman, how come he had never met her before?
He immediately became jealous, such a beautiful woman, how can she have dinner with Xia Tian, this migrant worker? And still pay the bill? Even if she has to pay, she should be paying for him, the handsome and promising young master of the Su family!
"In the summer, I really admire you, eating soft rice can also be eaten with such a straight face!" Su Ziqiang's words were disdainful, but his eyes were filled with deep jealousy.
"You idiot, when we eat as a family, do we need to split the bill so clearly?" Xia Tian was getting more and more annoyed. "I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you one last chance, stop bothering me or I'll throw you out!"
"You dare to try throwing me?" Su Ziqiang sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ziqiang felt a tightness in his neck, and Xia Tian had already pinched his neck and lifted him up.
"Of course I have a move!" Xia Tian shouted, and Su Ziqiang flew into the air, flying straight out of the restaurant and heavily crashing onto the road outside, causing passersby to exclaim in shock.
"Zi Qiang!" Zhang Li hastily ran out.
"Wait for me in summer, I'm not done with you yet!" Su Ziqiang yelled loudly outside, but didn't dare to come back in.
"Come on, Yunman sister, eat quickly." Xia Tian smiled at Liu Yunman, he naturally wouldn't pay attention to Su Ziqiang's threat.
Liu Yunman looked at Xia Tian with an unusual gaze, just as Xia Tian started to show off his knife skills. She had already returned and witnessed the scene with her own eyes. Although this seemed unrelated to medical skills, it somehow increased her trust in Xia Tian's abilities by a few points.
"Are you busy this afternoon?" Yvonne Liu suddenly asked.
"There shouldn't be any issues, Xiang Jie's flower shop is usually quiet." Xia Tian said after some thought.
"Then, you'll start treating me this afternoon, how's that?" Liu Yunman finally made up her mind. Anyway, she only had a few months left to live, so she might as well use herself to test Xia Tian's medical skills first. If Xia Tian could really slow down her illness, then it would prove that he was genuinely skilled. At that time, she could also let him treat other family members who were not seriously ill.
"No problem!" Xia Tian was overjoyed, this was his future wife he had set his sights on, she couldn't just die like that.
Until the two finished their meal and left the restaurant after paying the bill, Su Ziqiang did not appear again.
In the summer, he followed Liu Yunman to the First Affiliated Hospital and then left together in Liu Yunman's car.
After more than ten minutes, the car entered the Mingdian community.
Mingdian Community is a relatively high-end residential area in Jianghai City. Liu Yunman bought a suite of over 90 square meters here, located on the 12th floor, with three sides facing the sun and good ventilation. It's said to be a three-bedroom two-hall apartment, but in fact, the so-called three bedrooms are actually two bedrooms plus a small study that can't even be called a room. The living room is barely large enough, but the dining room is tiny, it's cramped for four people to eat together, it's more suitable for a couple.
The decoration inside the house is relatively simple, with a pure white tone as the main color. It can be seen that Liu Yunman likes white very much, and the whole house looks very clean and tidy.
"I also have a dormitory in the hospital, most of the time I live in the hospital, almost no one knows where I live, so there shouldn't be anyone disturbing me here." Yúnmàn led Xiàtiān into her bedroom, which was also very tidy, to the point of being overly neat, and compared to Qiǎo Xiǎojiě, it was like two extremes.
It seemed like Summer was still admiring her bedroom, Liu Yunman's face was slightly flushed, after all this was the first time she had brought a man into her boudoir. To break the somewhat awkward atmosphere, she asked again: "Summer, before treating the illness, what preparations are needed?"
"No need." Xiatian came back to himself, shaking his head, "Yunman sister, do you have a silver needle?"
"Silver needle?" Liu Yunman shook her head, "I don't have this, but Xia Tian, you don't even have a silver needle?"
Liu Yunman knew that the so-called "Reversing Heaven Eight Needles" was actually a secret acupuncture technique, and people who could use acupuncture to cure illnesses wouldn't even have silver needles - this didn't make any sense at all.
