Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Restless Mind, Easily Stirred

Qiao Xi’s attention was captured by his words, and she corrected him, "They are not guinea pigs! I am a licensed doctor and have many years of medical experience."

Huo Xingzhou did not argue with her, but simply asked, "Do you want it?"

"Yes!" Qiao Xi nodded emphatically, her tone filled with desire.

Huo Xingzhou chuckled lightly and firmly said, "First, drink the sweet soup. You haven’t eaten anything since you came from the hospital, and you’ll be hungry tonight."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi lowered her head and picked up the sweet soup in front of her.

She sipped it, one spoonful at a time.

She said, "Actually, I’m not that easily hungry. I ate too much at lunch. Many girls skip dinner to lose weight. This is almost like a late-night snack for me, which can easily make me gain weight."

The man slightly parted his thin lips, "Don’t worry. I’ll keep your exercise up. You won’t gain weight."

Qiao Xi tilted her head and stared at him, "Exercise?"

Was it what she was thinking?

She said seriously, "Although having sex can burn some calories, it’s insufficient for weight loss. It only burns about 250 kilocalories, roughly equivalent to the calories in a bowl of rice. And I... don’t exert much effort."

The man pulled out a wet wipe and wiped the corner of his mouth, "What are you thinking about? I was talking about swimming."

Qiao Xi stared at him, her cheeks flushing.

His words were clearly ambiguous.

Huo Xingzhou twirled a small flaky pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, "You only know the simplest breaststroke, but that’s not enough. I have some other styles to teach you, so don’t slack off."

Qiao Xi bit fiercely into the small pastry; he said "styles" again.

It made people think wrongly.

She swallowed the food in her mouth before asking, "I’m full now. Who exactly are these ’guinea pigs’ you mentioned?"

How could there be men and women, all kinds involved.

And besides, why would they voluntarily come for a consultation?

Huo Xingzhou played coy, "Take a leave from Dr. Yan tomorrow, and don’t go to the hospital."

Qiao Xi hesitated and nodded. He wouldn’t deceive her.

He asked, "Any more questions?"

"You haven’t said where we’ll find people."

"You’ll find out tomorrow."

Qiao Xi looked at him skeptically; his earlier words seemed spur of the moment, probably he hadn’t yet communicated with the ’guinea pigs.’ She didn’t ask further, waiting to see where he would find so many ’guinea pigs’ tomorrow.

She then remembered something else, "Shu Xue told me that red wine baths are quite trendy in Haicheng recently, and she invited me to join her. Do you want to go?"

Speaking of red wine baths reminded her of Ye Zhimeng’s embarrassing incident.

Originally a niche trend, the scandal involving Ye Zhimeng thrust it into a citywide fashion fad following the surge on social media. Many people wanted to try it out.

Upon hearing this, Huo Xingzhou said, "I’ll book the club, let’s go tomorrow night. It’s a good chance for you to relax after a busy day."

"Oh okay, then remember to send me the location, so I can tell Shu Xue."

"Mm."

Huo Xingzhou slightly closed his eyes, his pale face touched with a faint blush, ethanol lingering in the air. He seemed somewhat weary, which made Qiao Xi realize that he had drunk quite a lot and had been up with her all night.

She stood up and walked behind him, her soft fingers pressing on his Taiyang Acupoint.

Around and around.

The pressure was just right.

Huo Xingzhou’s back rested against the dining chair as he slightly tilted his head back with his eyes closed. He appeared to enjoy it, and Qiao Xi admired his handsome features from this angle for the first time.

Standing there, all she needed to do was slightly lower her head to touch his forehead.

Qiao Xi was somewhat restless, her red lips landing directly on his forehead.

The man opened his eyes, meeting her shy, bright eyes.

"I’ve been drinking," he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "and it makes me easily provoked."

A cunning spark flashed in Qiao Xi’s eyes, "But tonight was just socializing, it’s time to rest."

Huo Xingzhou glanced at the clock on the wall, "It’s not even ten, still early. Coming back from socializing isn’t tiring. How about I give you a chance to exercise and lose some weight?"

"No."

Qiao Xi decisively refused and quickly trotted upstairs.

The corners of the man’s mouth curled into a slight smile, and he chuckled silently.

When Aunt Qian came out with the Hangover Soup, she didn’t see Qiao Xi and asked, "Has the Young Madam eaten enough?"

"Hmm."

"Then have some soup. After the alcohol fades, go take a bath and sleep."

"Okay. Aunt Qian, you can go rest now," Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, pulling out his phone to send Jin Kai a message and then calling Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu didn’t have social obligations tonight and was idly passing time at home.

He picked up quickly.

"Hey, Huo Er. You weren’t forced to drink too much at your social event today? How do you still have the leisure to call me?" Zhou Yu sounded somewhat schadenfreude.

Even someone with a tolerance as good as his almost died from drinking last night.

If it were Huo Xingzhou, it would be even more unbearable.

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes flickered slightly, "Would they dare to make me drink?"

"The subordinates might not dare, but does Young Master Zhong dare not?"

Huo Xingzhou didn’t deny it but said, "He didn’t fare much better either."

He had indeed drunk quite a bit, his body hot with the effects of alcohol.

Zhou Yu laughed loudly.

"Even you, Huo Xingzhou, can’t handle some men."

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes narrowed as he said, "The contract signing is tomorrow. If you don’t close this deal through yourself, you can forget about the commission."

Zhou Yu immediately softened, "Come on! This commission is enough for me to buy an apartment. Forgive me this once, as if my earlier words were just hot air. You wouldn’t call me this late without needing help, right? Just throw some benefits my way."

"It depends on your performance. Book a wine bath at a clubhouse for me tomorrow, and it needs to be available for both men and women, venue-exclusive."

Upon hearing about the wine bath, Zhou Yu’s mind started to spin.

"You and Qiao Xi are going? Last time Ye Zhimeng took a wine bath, she was carried out four limbs to the sky, losing all dignity. Following your suggestion, I manipulated the trending searches online so the Ye Family couldn’t pull it down."

Consequently, the photo of Ye Zhimeng being carried out naked hung in the local popular spot for three days.

For all the netizens to enjoy.

Zhou Yu said with a laugh, "She really is foolish to pass out in a bath."

Huo Xingzhou countered, "Do you think someone would be foolish to that extent?" It was clearly someone’s doing behind the scenes.

But Zhou Yu was dismissive, "Others might not, but that fool Ye Zhimeng would. She’s completely idiotic to the extent of doing such foolish things. After all, she once cornered Xu Xiuyuan in the men’s restroom to confess."

Huo Xingzhou’s voice was calm, "Move Ye Zhimeng out of the country as quickly as possible, it would be best if you could sever her ties with the Ye Family."

"That’s simple, that fool will find her own trouble. With a few more stirs, the Ye Family will give up on her." It was just a matter of considering the relations between elders.

Ye Zhimeng often claimed herself as the Miss of the Ye Family, tarnishing the family’s reputation.

An adopted daughter, yet putting on such airs.

"Huo Er, you had me investigate something from ten years ago, I have found some clues," Zhou Yu chattered on before finally remembering the matter.
