Song Wei gently put down the magazine in her hand, then brushed her hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "You're back?"
She didn't show any particular surprise. From the beginning to the end, there was a hint of joy in her tranquility, just like a wife welcoming her husband back from a long journey. Xia Ruofei's heart suddenly calmed down.
Xia Ruofei, who was still a little tipsy, nodded gently and said, "I'm back!"
Then he stepped into the room and gently held Song Wei in his arms. While stroking her soft hair, he asked, "Why didn't you tell me before you came? I could have rushed back!"
Song Wei raised her head slightly, with a faint smile on her face, and said, "I didn't have any plans in the afternoon, so I came over! Anyway, you were definitely going home, so why should I tell you in advance? I didn't want to disturb you! "
"But I was drinking with Brother Zhao and Song Rui all afternoon …" Xia Ruofei said with a hint of guilt.
"I smelled it …" Song Wei pursed her lips and said with a smile, "You guys haven't seen each other for a long time. It's good to drink together!"
Then Song Wei mischievously sniffed and said, "But the smell of alcohol on you is a bit strong! Hurry up and take a shower! Otherwise, you're not allowed to hug me … "
After that, she pushed Xia Ruofei in the direction of the bathroom.
Xia Ruofei still hadn't recovered from the shock when the cold water sprayed from the shower head onto his body.
Song Wei's temperament had always been rather quiet. In the eyes of those who weren't familiar with her, she was even a little cold. However, in front of him, Song Wei was more like a delicate and innocent young girl. Today … she was a little too virtuous!
After a quick shower, Xia Ruofei put on a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair.
"Weiwei, you should go take a shower too!" Xia Ruofei said, "Since we have time tonight, we can cultivate for a while."
Song Wei walked over and held Xia Ruofei's arm. He smiled and said, "I've already showered, but … you must be tired today. Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, and I have time. Don't practice today. It's better to … rest early!"
At this point, Song Wei's pretty face turned slightly hot, revealing a trace of shyness.
When Xia Ruofei saw this, he couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement.
Xia Ruofei naturally agreed to Song Wei's request. Moreover, facing the especially virtuous Song Wei, Xia Ruofei's desire to conquer had long been stirred up …
Very quickly, the bedroom was filled with the thick scent of spring …
After a long time, when the storm calmed down, it was already late at night outside.
Song Wei nestled in Xia Ruofei's arms, her face still flushed. She rested her head on Xia Ruofei's chest and said softly, "Ruofei, thank you!"
Xia Ruofei asked with a smile, "Why are you thanking me again for no reason?"
Song Wei kissed Xia Ruofei gently and said, "Although I know it's very formal, after seeing you, I still can't help but want to thank you … Ruofei, in order to teach my father to cultivate, you must have put in a lot of effort!"
Xia Ruofei finally understood. It turned out that Song Wei's performance today was the real reason!
He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Silly girl! Didn't we already agree to help Uncle Song embark on the path of cultivation? He's your father, and now he has the physique to cultivate. Shouldn't I help him take this step? "
"I'm so touched!" Song Wei hugged Xia Ruofei tightly and said with a red face.
"Okay, okay, okay …" Xia Ruofei stroked Song Wei's hair lovingly and said with a smile, "But now Uncle Song is still in the dark! I don't even have a clue how to tell him in the future … "
Song Wei pursed her lips and said with a smile, "My father is very opinionated, but it doesn't mean that he's very stubborn. Before he really takes that step, no matter how much we say, we won't be able to move him, and we won't be able to make him break the worldview that he has formed over the years. However, once he has a certain level of cultivation and truly feels the changes brought about by cultivation, it won't be so difficult to convince him. "
As Song Wei spoke, she adjusted herself to a more comfortable position and said, "Ruofei, don't worry! I'll talk to him when the time comes! "
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "It's late, Weiwei, go to sleep! I'll accompany you to cultivate tomorrow! "
"Okay!" Song Wei nodded.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and pressed the switch not far away with his mental strength. The room suddenly fell into darkness. After a while, the sound of the two people's heavy breathing came from the room …
The following weekend, Xia Ruofei and Song Wei almost became hermits who shut themselves in.
The two of them cultivated in Xia Ruofei's room during the day and slept in each other's arms at night. Other than going to the backyard to eat, they occasionally took a breather in the yard, made tea together, and chatted. Most of the time, they were immersed in cultivation and their world.
Through several cultivation sessions in the past two days, Song Wei's cultivation had improved further, but Xia Ruofei's benefits were not so obvious. There was a gap of several levels between his cultivation and Song Wei's. If the two of them cultivated together, Song Wei would definitely benefit more, but Xia Ruofei's cultivation effect was not as good as his own cultivation of the "Dao Formula".
However, Xia Ruofei didn't care too much. After all, he didn't spend much time with Song Wei and Ling Qingxue. When they were together, he seized the opportunity to help them improve their cultivation. He had plenty of time to cultivate. Now that he had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, it wasn't so easy to break through a big realm, so Xia Ruofei wasn't in a hurry.
On Monday morning, after breakfast in the courtyard house of Liuhai Lane, Song Wei was ready to go back to school.
Xia Ruofei asked Wu Qiang to drive Song Wei back in the Toyota Elfa, while he went back to his room to make some preparations. After two or three days, he should go to Family Liu's place to take a look. Based on Old Man Liu's condition at that time, the medicine he used could only stabilize him for three or four days at most.
After two or three days of searching, Family Liu was probably full of helplessness. According to Xia Ruofei's estimation, they might not even be able to find one of the medicinal herbs on the list.
In fact, Xia Ruofei hadn't thought of what benefits he could ask Family Liu for.
Of course, he didn't need to think too much. As long as Old Man Liu woke up and understood the ins and outs of the matter, he would naturally give him satisfactory conditions.
If Old Man Liu didn't have this level of ability, he wouldn't have been able to reach that position in the first place. He wasn't the only senior who had survived that bloody era, but not everyone could reach that height in the end.
Xia Ruofei went into the space to make some medicine. This time, he didn't make it into pills. Instead, he boiled it into a semi-liquid medicinal soup and packed it in a vacuum Chinese medicine bag.
Of course, this medicinal soup was essentially the same as the previous pills. The main ingredient was the petals of the spirit heart flower, but this time, the proportion of the petals was lower.
Then, he took out an incubator and asked Xia Xiaolan to get some ice from the kitchen. He put the bags of Chinese medicine and the ice into the incubator.
After finishing these things, Xia Ruofei went back to his room to rest for a while. After Wu Qiang sent Song Wei back from Beijing University, he asked Wu Qiang to drive him to Family Liu's house.
…
In the house where Old Man Liu was resting, Liu Qunfeng was extremely anxious.
He basically didn't go to work these days. Some urgent official business was sent here by his secretary.
As a leader at his level, plus his office was in Beijing, it wasn't a problem for him to be flexible in his working hours when he had something to do at home.
Of course, if Liu Qunfeng didn't show up at work, his influence would inevitably decline. It was inevitable that his political interests would be damaged.
It was just that he couldn't care so much now. If Old Master Liu couldn't make it through this time and passed away, then his room for improvement in his career would be greatly reduced. But if Old Master Liu could make it through this stage, the loss of some small benefits wouldn't matter at all. Moreover, as long as Old Master Liu was healthy, what belonged to him, Liu Qunfeng, couldn't be snatched away by others.
Liu Qunfeng had been suffering from severe insomnia for the past few days. He probably didn't get more than three hours of sleep a day, but there wasn't any good news.
The Liu Family had sent out all of their forces to follow the list given by Xia Ruofei. They had used all the available channels. However, the news that came back one by one made him disappointed and even desperate with nothing to show for it.
Today, when Liu Chongli came to the house, he still didn't bring good news.
"Uncle Chongli, is there any progress?" Liu Qunfeng couldn't wait to ask Liu Chongli when he saw him.
Liu Chongli shook his head helplessly and said, "There isn't any useful information at all. Qunfeng, I specifically consulted the experts and professors in the Chinese Medicine Research Institute, but even they haven't heard of the names of the herbs! How are we going to find them? "
Liu Qunfeng smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have a clue either!"
Then, Liu Qunfeng couldn't help but say angrily, "Liu Lifang is stupider than a pig! Ever since she was young, she couldn't do anything right! This time, she caused such a huge disaster! I really wish … "
"Qunfeng, it's too late to say this now …" Liu Chongli said. "Lifang is your sister after all. I heard that you've been putting her under house arrest in the main house for the past two days. You didn't even let her step out of her room.
"Uncle Chongli! It's because she's my sister that I was merciful! "Liu Qunfeng clenched his teeth and said," If it were anyone else, I would have turned her into ashes! You don't have to plead for her! What's wrong with locking her up for a few days? Will she lose a piece of skin or a piece of flesh? Father is still dying in the hospital bed! It's all her fault! "
Liu Chongli was also working in the family's company with Liu Lifang, so he spoke up for Liu Lifang. After all, although Liu Lifang's ability was poor, as Old Master Liu's daughter, her identity was still very useful. Liu Chongli also used this point to constantly consolidate his right to speak in the company.
After all, Liu Chongli was only Old Master Liu's cousin, so their relationship was still distant.
This time, Liu Lifang was afraid that all of her positions would be removed. Thinking of this, Liu Chongli still felt that it was a pity. If Old Master Liu's branch had been replaced with a more capable person, then his influence in the company would inevitably be weakened.
Of course, at this time, Liu Chongli wouldn't be so stupid to keep pleading for Liu Lifang. When the time was right, he could help by the side, just like just now.
Liu Chongli took the initiative to change the topic and asked, "Qunfeng, how is Big Brother now?"
Liu Qunfeng said with a trace of fatigue, "His condition has been stable for the past two days, but the experts in 301 said that this situation won't last forever. They asked us to be mentally prepared … This is the same conclusion as Mr. Xia's."
Hearing this, Liu Chongli couldn't help but frown slightly and say, "Qunfeng, do you think … Xia Ruofei … gave us a fake list? He made us work for nothing. If we can't find all the herbs on the list, he can justifiably leave … "
"The possibility is very low," Liu Qunfeng said, "based on my understanding of Mr. Xia, he's not such a person."
Liu Chongli said eagerly, "But, even the authoritative experts in the Chinese Medicine Research Institute don't know the herbs on the list, and they haven't even heard of them. Don't you think that's too suspicious?"
Liu Qunfeng said, "Mr. Xia is a master. The herbs that those experts and professors haven't heard of don't exist. Because there's no need for him to do so. If he really wanted to leave, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. This incident was caused by Liu Lifang. If he didn't want to treat it, he could have just refused directly. Why did he have to beat around the bush? "
"That's true, but who knows what he's thinking …" Liu Chongli said without much confidence.
In fact, he had already accepted Liu Qunfeng's analysis in his heart. It was just that he had made no progress in the past two days, so he couldn't help but doubt it. He was quite conflicted.
At this time, Liu Qunfeng's phone vibrated.
He stood up and said, "Uncle Chongli, I'll take this call first."
After that, Liu Qunfeng picked up the phone and walked out while answering, "Hello … It's me … Um … Um … Um … I got it!"
The content of the call seemed to be very simple. Liu Qunfeng hung up after a few words.
He turned and walked into the room. He looked at Liu Chongli with a strange expression and said, "Uncle Chongli, I just got news about the herbs on the list."
Liu Chongli suddenly stood up and asked, "Someone found it?"
"Not really … But this news is really important." Liu Qunfeng said, "Our people just found out that three years ago, in an underground auction in Malaysia, a herb called 'Sky Heart Basket' appeared. It's at least 90% similar to the 'Amethyst Blood Vine' that Mr. Xia described on the list. They should be the same kind of herb!"
