Chapter 522 - 522 The Sublimation of Love

522 The Sublimation of Love

When Xing Chen and Qiao An returned to the cabin on the mountain, the sky was already dark. Xing Chen was busy washing the herbs and making medicine. Qiao An was already hungry, but she also knew that saving people was like putting out a fire. She didn’t dare disturb Xing Chen. Instead, she went to the sweet potato field alone and dug up a few sweet potatoes. After washing them, she ate.

Xing Chen heard her biting into the sweet potato and turned around to see her sitting casually on a stone stool, chewing on a sweet potato with relish. He was stunned.

Was she really not picky at all?

He walked over and pulled the sweet potato out of her mouth. “Don’t eat it raw,” he said. “I’ll roast it for you.”

Xing Chen buried the sweet potato in the firewood and smiled at Qiao An. “We’ll eat it after it’s cooked.”

Bored, Qiao An sat down beside him.

Xing Chen started chatting with her. “What did you talk to Xie Cunhua about in the afternoon? Did you have a good time?”

Qiao An saw the worry in his eyes and smiled coquettishly. “I’m happy.”

Xing Chen felt relieved. “That’s good. Make a few friends. You won’t be so bored when I’m not around.”

Qiao An wrapped her arm around his and wheedled. “Brother Xingchen, you’re so gentle and considerate. What should I do? I realize that I like you more and more.”

Xing Chen couldn’t help but laugh. “Aren’t you going to marry me?”

Qiao An laughed crisply. “When this plague is over, we’ll get married. Okay?”

Xing Chen looked at her in a daze. Seeing her serious expression and yearning, Xing Chen felt like he had won the lottery and that it was unreal.

“Qiao An, are you really willing to marry me? Look, I don’t have anything. You might have a hard time following me for a while?”

Qiao An giggled. This guy had made arrangements for her and the children a few years ago. Even if she didn’t do anything, she could get sky-high dividends every year from the Angel Group and the Soaring Cloud Group.

“Don’t worry, I have money. I’ll support you,” Qiao An said.

Xing Chen was stunned. He was not too happy to have a weak woman raise him.

Knowing his pride, Qiao An quickly corrected herself. “You can make it up to me when you make money.”

Only then did Xing Chen reveal a bright smile.

After the sweet potatoes were roasted, Xing Chen dug out the small sweet potatoes one by one. Qiao An was so excited that she quickly reached out to take them. They were so hot that she cried out.

Xing Chen held her hand with heartache and quickly blew on it for her. “Qiao An, don’t be so anxious to eat it.”

He didn’t understand. A young lady like Qiao An had eaten all kinds of delicacies. Why was she so involved?

He peeled off the sweet potato skin for Qiao An, revealing the fresh yellow pit. He handed it to her. She took a bite and handed it to him.

“Delicious. Try it.”

Xing Chen discovered that no matter what it was, she liked to share it with others. “An’an, not everything has to be shared with others. This sweet potato is so small. It’s not enough for you to eat alone.”

But Qiao An said stubbornly, “But I want to share anything with you.”

Xing Chen was stunned. He lowered his head slightly and took a bite of the sweet potato. At that moment, his nose was sore and his heart was sweet.

In fact, he had been very hesitant these past few years. He did not know what he should do in the future, nor did he know where he should head to after leaving the mountains.

And Qiao An’s arrival ended his confusion. He had gained his direction in life. All he wanted was to work hard and provide Qiao An with a happy life.

Qiao An looked at the quiet Xing Chen. His face was extremely handsome in the moonlight. She suddenly raised her head and handed him her lips. She took the initiative to kiss him.

“Brother Xingchen, I love you,” she said emotionally.

All of Xing Chen’s self-control was defeated by this murmur of love, and he responded fiercely to her.

“An’an.”

He picked her up and walked towards the house.

“An’an, can I?”

Qiao An answered him directly with her actions. She unbuttoned his shirt.

That night, they completed the sublimation of love.

Xing Chen was extremely tired. He had a very sweet dream. In it, he and Qiao An had a pair of twins. He was so happy that he could fly.

“I have a home,” he shouted in his dream.

Then he hugged Qiao An and kissed her repeatedly. “An’an, thank you. Thank you for giving me a home.”

When he woke up from the dream, the sky was already bright.

Xing Chen touched the space beside him and realized that Qiao An had left.

He broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that he had imagined the beautiful scenery last night?

His anxiety dissipated when Qiao An came in with water for washing his face and called out with a smile, “Brother Xingchen, wash your face.”

Xing Chen stared at her blankly. “An’an, did we… last night?”

Qiao An raised her face and nodded playfully. “Brother Xingchen, we were already together last night. You can’t go back on your word, right? You have to be responsible for me. You have to be responsible for me for the rest of your life.”

So the dream was real.

Xing Chen couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, I’m responsible for you.”

Qiao An walked up to him and unfolded the washcloth. When Xing Chen reached out to take it, Qiao An said, “Brother Xing Chen, I’ll help you wash your face.”

Xing Chen was stunned.

When the warm washcloth gently wiped his face, he looked steadily into Qiao An’s gentle eyes and suddenly hugged her. “An’an, I must have saved the galaxy in my previous life, so I met such a gentle and cute little fairy like you in this life.”

Qiao An said, “So you have to cherish me. In the future, don’t do anything dangerous without my permission. Just like going to the confinement area to treat a patient. You have to discuss it with me in the future.”

Once bitten, twice shy.

She no longer dared to let Huo Xiaoran take on an adventure.

...

However, Xing Chen felt that this did not make sense. What did she mean by doing something risky again?

He never took a risk, did he?

But he took it as a slip of the tongue, so he didn’t argue.

“Brother Xing Chen, I’ve made the medicinal soup. When you get up, send them to the confinement area.”

“Okay.”

Xing Chen got up, but suddenly remembered that Qiao An’s breakfast had yet to be settled. He made Qiao An another breakfast before going down the mountain.

Perhaps it was because of love, but Xing Chen looked good and was in a better mood.

When his good friend, Dahai, saw Xing Chen, he quietly came over and teased, “Xing Chen, I heard from Xie Cunhua that you slept with that Qiao An, right?”

Xing Chen composed himself and then told him proudly, “Qiao An is my wife now.”

Dahai was dumbfounded. “Xingchen, you’re really amazing. You settled the girls in the city so quickly. However, I heard that she’s a CEO. Could it be that she likes you for fun? You know that rich women in the city often keep gigolos?”
