Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Becoming Strange Because of You

Lin Dong, although he had already entered the hospital, could still hear Wang Xiuxin’s voice, frantic and exasperated, from behind.

Hearing his discomfort, Lin Dong felt somewhat pleased.

"Recently, those people from the Capital City, why have they all been flocking to Southern Capital?"

Lin Dong muttered to himself.

First, there was Lin Tiance and Li Yanran, and now Wang Xiuxin had arrived.

This Wang Xiuxin was no simple character either.

It was rumored that he belonged to the Wang Family, a well-known Medical Family in the Capital City. If Lin Dong was not mistaken, his identity might be that of the "Little Miracle Doctor" mentioned by Medicine King and Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang.

Of course, this was just Lin Dong’s guess, and whether it was true was still uncertain.

After entering the Hospital Department, Lin Dong went to find Qiao Bing.

Qiao Bing was in the doctors’ break room, and it was her break time for rest and a meal.

She was eating take-out.

"Have you eaten? Want to join me? I’ll share half with you," Qiao Bing said with a smile on her face when she saw Lin Dong.

Lin Dong shook his head, "I’ve eaten already. How’s your sickness? Is there any improvement? After you finish eating, I’ll give you another acupuncture treatment."

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Qiao Bing immediately put down her take-out food.

"Giggle, you can give me the acupuncture now, I’m done eating," Qiao Bing said promptly.

"Okay." Lin Dong nodded, then closed the door, asking her to take off her shirt and expose her flawless back.

Lin Dong moved behind her and began locating the acupoints with his fingers.

His fingers gently glided over Qiao Bing’s back skin, causing her body to tremble slightly and her heartbeat to speed up.

If Lin Dong could see her face, he would notice her cheeks were blushingly red, like ripe strawberries.

"Puff puff puff—"

After locating the acupoints, Lin Dong inserted the filiform needles into them.

Lin Dong’s acupuncture technique was indeed profound; the silver needles entered her body without causing the slightest pain.

"It feels so good..." Qiao Bing felt streams of warm and cool Qi entering her body. There had been some stuffiness in her chest, but now, it was all dispersed by that Qi.

Lately, Qiao Bing felt that something was off about herself.

She didn’t know why, but when she hadn’t seen Lin Dong, she couldn’t help but think of him often. And when she saw him, her heart would subconsciously lighten up.

When he was treating her disease with acupuncture, she subconsciously felt shy, her ears reddening and her cheeks blushing. Sometimes, when they were too close, her heartbeat would also quicken on its own.

Now that Lin Dong was giving her acupuncture, her body was slightly trembling throughout.

To disguise this weirdness, Qiao Bing quickly tried to divert it by talking.

"By the way, Lin Dong, have you found him?" Qiao Bing asked.

The "him" she referred to was naturally known by Lin Dong; she was talking about her father, Qiao Renyi.

"Not yet, I’ve asked Ye Linglong and Bai Xiaolou to help, and also got Sister Hong to have her people look everywhere for Qiao Renyi’s whereabouts, but we haven’t found him," Lin Dong replied.

"What?" Qiao Bing was puzzled, "How can this be? Why can’t we find him even with so much effort?"

"Qiao Renyi might not be as simple as we thought. With so many resources at my disposal and still not being able to find him, I see only two possibilities," Lin Dong said.

"Which two?" Qiao Bing immediately asked.

"One, Qiao Renyi is dead, having died silently."

"Two, there’s a powerful organization behind him. That organization has concealed everything about him."

"I’m more inclined to believe the latter!"

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Qiao Bing was stunned.

In her eyes, her father was just a scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter.

Moreover, he was a man willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law, enduring all kinds of humiliation. She never imagined he could be so complicated.

"Don’t worry, as long as he’s still alive, I will definitely find him for you in the future!" Lin Dong said.

Qiao Bing nodded.

Lin Dong then thought back to Wang Xiuxin he had encountered just before.

He hesitated for a long time but eventually couldn’t help but bring it up.

"Sister Bing, I... I have a personal issue concerning your love life that I want to ask you about," Lin Dong said.

"What is it?" Qiao Bing was a bit nervous, could Lin Dong be about to confess his feelings for her?

If he confessed, should she accept right away?

Should she accept straight away or play coy?

As she contemplated, her cheeks became even redder.

However, she then heard Lin Dong say, "It’s about Wang Xiuxin!!"

"Wang... Wang Xiuxin?" Upon hearing this name, Qiao Bing felt a sudden pain in her liver.

Lin Dong could also sense her bodily reaction, and in that moment, he felt quite uncomfortable himself, thinking that Wang Xiuxin hadn’t lied and perhaps they really had been in a relationship.

But why did the thought of their past relationship make him uncomfortable?

"I... I ran into him at the hospital entrance just now, and he told me to stay away from you, saying you were his girlfriend before! Sister Bing, did you... did you date him?"

When Lin Dong asked this, his face was somewhat bitter.

Qiao Bing was startled for a long time before nodding:

"We did, sort of."

"Sort of? What do you mean? Sister Bing, can you tell me about you and him? You... don’t overthink it, the reason I’m asking is so I can treat your sickness better."

"This could also be a reason for the worsening of your strange disease before!"

Lin Dong didn’t know why he felt the need to add those last words.

After hearing this, Qiao Bing nodded gently, then asked in return:

"You... you’re asking all this purely for the purpose of treating me?"

Her words seemed to carry a hint of hope, hope that Lin Dong had other reasons.

But Lin Dong simply nodded, "Yes."

Disappointed, Qiao Bing said, "If you want to know, then I’ll tell you!"

As she spoke, her heart also sorrowfully thought: "So it was just my wishful thinking. In your eyes, have we always been just patient and doctor, superior and subordinate? Don’t you have any feelings for me at all?"
