Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Cao Xing helped her into the room and was about to comfort her.

But the coldness in the room was beyond his imagination.

Cao Xing frowned and asked, "Why didn't you light the stove?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I... I bought some coal, but they borrowed it..."

Cao Xing was speechless and asked, "Then how did you survive this winter?"

"Bear with it. If you can't stand it anymore, go stay at my parents' house for a few days."

Cao Xing really didn’t know what to say. This silly girl was so kind.

"You can sleep at Li Mei's house in the Intermediate Court for the next few days. She and I are colleagues in the same office. I will call a court-wide meeting for you in the evening."

When Ran Qiuye heard that Cao Xing was willing to help her, she immediately smiled, but she seemed to be sick, so the smile looked somewhat sad.

"You...you really want to call a whole-house meeting for me?"

"Of course, they are not the kind of people who bully others like that. Don't worry, leave everything to me."

“But will this affect neighborhood relations?”

Cao Xing held his forehead and said, "You are really kind. They are about to freeze you to death. Why are you still worrying about this?"

Ran Qiuye looked at him steadily and blurted out: "Are you doing this because you like me?"

As Cao Xing's eyes widened, Ran Qiuye finally realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Her head was in a mess now, and she said whatever she thought, as if she was drunk.

Cao Xing frowned. Just now, his mind was full of Ye Juan and he didn't observe Ran Qiuye's expression carefully. Now when he looked over, he immediately realized that something was wrong with her.

Cao Xing grabbed Ran Qiuye's hand, and she was so scared that she dodged quickly.

"Don't move. Let me feel your pulse."

Cao Xing scolded her and then carefully checked her pulse.

Looking at his serious expression, Ran Qiuye realized that she had misunderstood him, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn a little red.

"No wonder you're talking nonsense, you've got a fever, pack your things and follow me now."

Ran Qiuye tightened her clothes and asked, "Where are we going?"

Cao Xing couldn't help but slap his forehead.

"You didn't hear what I just said. I'll take you to Li Mei's house. Oh, by the way, she's back with her parents. Go to my room and rest first. I'll make some medicine for you."

"Go to your room? Men and women shouldn't touch each other, not to mention we are a single man and a single woman..."

"What a mess, you are just talking nonsense, come on, I'll carry you there."

Seeing that there was nothing valuable in the room, Cao Xing wrapped her in a quilt and carried her to his room.

As soon as Ran Qiuye came in, he felt a warm feeling coming over him, and his head felt dizzy. This was the stress state caused by a sick person just arriving in a comfortable environment.

Cao Xing put her on his bed and fed her some spiritual spring water to prevent her illness from getting worse and causing her to faint.

Then he covered her with a blanket.

"Stay here and don't move. I'll make some medicine for you."

Ran Qiuye looked at Cao Xing's busy figure without saying anything, but tears filled her eyes again.

She knew about her illness, but she had borrowed all her money. She had no money to see a doctor, and she was too embarrassed to go to her parents' house, so she kept putting it off.

If she hadn't rushed out of the room to talk to Cao Xing today, it would be hard to say whether she could make it through the night.

You have to know that the winter temperature in that era was as low as minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, which most people could not bear.

In order to save trouble, Cao Xing started to brew it directly in the space, which saved the most time.

After the medicine was ready, Cao Xing brought it to Ran Qiuye's bed, but he didn't expect that Ran Qiuye had already fallen asleep.

"This girl is really bold. She actually dares to sleep in my place!"

In order to make her get better quickly, Cao Xing lifted her quilt, undressed her, and used acupuncture on her delicate body.

"She's asleep, good. This girl has a really nice figure."

I gave her acupuncture, dressed her, covered her with a quilt, and then woke her up.

"Comrade Ran Qiuye? Comrade Ran Qiuye? Wake up. You've taken medicine."

But Ran Qiuye was too tired, and the acupuncture he had just used was so effective that she felt very comfortable and could not be woken up at all.

"Can't wake up? Then I'll give you another acupuncture treatment. Don't blame me, but you don't know anyway."

This time he was even bolder and actually injected fifty-four needles into Ran Qiuye's body!

From head to toe, nothing is left out!

boom!

When Cao Xing was enjoying the beautiful scenery, he heard the door opening loudly.

Cao Xing was startled, his mental perception dispersed, and his face turned pale.

"Brother Xing, Sister Suxia and Sister Qin and I are here to see you."

The person who spoke and opened the door was He Yushui.

She was followed by Wang Suxia and Qin Huairu.

He Yushui ran in first and saw that Cao Xing was fine, but when she saw the naked beautiful woman Ran Qiuye on the bed, her face changed.

"Brother Xing, who is she?" He Yushui sneered.

Cao Xing was really angry, how could you not know who she was?

He forgot to close the door when he came here with Ran Qiuye on his back, and He Yushui, who never knocked before entering his room, caught him red-handed.

Hearing the sound, Wang Suxia and Qin Huairu hurried in.

Seeing this scene, Wang Suxia walked over with a cold face.

"Our Master Cao still likes the wild flowers on the roadside. It seems that what you told me this morning was all a lie!"

This morning, the two of them were talking sweetly for a long time in the street office, but Cao Xing left in a hurry. She thought he came specifically for the woman in bed.

Cao Xing quickly explained: "Suxia, things are not what you think. This is my next-door neighbor."

"Well, even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, but you, a beast, don't even let your neighbors go!"

Qin Huairu felt a little embarrassed by these words. She and Cao Xing lived in the same courtyard, so they were neighbors.

Cao Xing quickly stood up and walked aside.

"Suxia, look, I'm giving her acupuncture. If I hadn't found her today, I'm afraid she wouldn't make it to the evening."

Wang Suxia walked closer and saw that Ran Qiuye's body was indeed full of golden needles, and her expression immediately eased a little.

"What's wrong with her?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing quickly recounted everything that had happened to Ran Qiuye, but he did not mention that this was his second acupuncture treatment.

The more Wang Suxia listened, the colder her face became.

"Why are there so many beasts in your broken courtyard? No, I have to come here in person tonight to hold a meeting for the whole courtyard!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Forget it. I can't do anything with you here. I promise to make them obedient tonight. After all, your official methods will not teach them a lesson."

"Well, this girl is also like this. A kind person is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden. Fortunately, you helped me. Otherwise, I would blame myself for assigning her to this hospital and causing her such misfortune."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "She is lucky to have me as her neighbor."

Qin Huairu said suspiciously to Wang Suxia: "Sister Wang, do you think acupuncture requires so many needles? I have seen Chinese medicine practitioners, and they usually only use a few needles. Now they are all naked..."

"Cough cough!"

Cao Xing interrupted immediately, "You don't understand. Those are quacks. Don't you believe in my medical skills? As long as it's not a terminal illness, it's not a big deal."

He Yushui watched for a long time and pouted and said, "I want acupuncture too!"
