A slim chance of survival
His voice was so gentle that it could almost make a person sick to death. Qiaoqiao's face immediately turned red and hot.
They were clearly an old married couple. Why would they be bewitched by such sweet words? Joe Qiao, you're so disappointing!
He Shaochen went from bad to worse. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently hugged Qiao Qiao's slender waist. He leaned his head on Qiao Qiao's shoulder and rubbed it intimately.
No matter how many times this intimate action was repeated, she would still tremble uncontrollably. Just as she was about to push He Shaochen away, the other party's low and hoarse voice rang in her ears. "It seems like I haven't hugged you like this in a long time."
After hearing He Shaochen's words, Qiao Qiao realized that they hadn't been so affectionate for a long time. Recently, too many things had happened.
She bit her lips lightly and did not push him again.
"Qiao Qiao, I will cherish my life for you and our child. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up. I promise. So, you are not allowed to underestimate your own life, understand?"
He Shaochen's voice was very soft, but every word tugged at Qiao Qiao's heartstrings.
The tears that she had managed to stop with great difficulty once again had the urge to fall. She bit her lips tightly, afraid that she would cry out loud. She could only tightly grasp He Shaochen's arm. Her entire body trembled slightly as she nodded heavily.
Although the road ahead was still unclear and could even be said to be dark, as long as He Shaochen was there, she had to continue even if she had to break her head and bleed.

In the Century New Testament residential area.
"Are you really not going in?" Qiao Qiao got out of the car and confirmed again.
He Shaochen's face was a little dark. From the first time he met Xu Anting, he had disliked him to the extreme. Later, when he found out that Xu Anting was Qiao Qiao's first love, he even wanted to pack him up and throw him into the moat.
Previously, when he saw Qiao Qiao crying so hard, his heart softened and he agreed without thinking much. But now that he thought about it, he really did not know what was wrong with his brain. That was why he had shamelessly begged his former love rival. He really could not bring himself to do such a shameful thing.
After a long time in the corridor, Young Master He's temper flared up again.
He Shaochen raised his chin and snorted. "I'm not going."
"Aren't you being too insincere? After all, we are going to beg him now. "
Qiaoqiao did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why did this person dislike Professor Xu so much? Xu Anting was obviously a very nice person, but this person was too prejudiced against Professor Xu.
He Shaochen glanced at her and corrected her coldly. "I didn't do it willingly."
"You!" Qiao Qiao saw He Shaochen's arrogant attitude and gritted her teeth in her heart. This person's ability to annoy people to death seemed to have improved again.
If they were not outside, Qiao Qiao would really teach this person a lesson.
But it was fine.
If He Shaochen really went with him, based on his attitude towards Professor Xu, who knew what would happen.
"Okay, then wait in the car. I'll ask Professor Xu about his friend." Qiao Qiao compromised. She closed the car door and walked towards Xu Anting's villa.
He Shaochen frowned and called out to her unhappily. "Don't stay too long. This matter needs to be resolved quickly. Don't drag it out."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Qiao Qiao replied perfunctorily.
The voice behind her continued to float over. "You have to come out in three minutes, understand?"
Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes. She had not even spoken much in three minutes. This person was really too much. She was too lazy to talk to him. She walked directly to the fence of the villa and pressed the doorbell.
Soon, the walkie-talkie was connected and a gentle voice came over. "Hello."
"Professor Xu, I'm Qiao Qiao."
Qiao Qiao replied politely.
"Oh, you're here. Come in."
As soon as Xu Anting's voice fell, the iron gate opened automatically. Qiao Qiao walked in. The door of the villa was already open. Xu Anting walked out in a fitted casual outfit.
It seemed that he had been waiting at home for Qiao Qiao after knowing that she was coming.
This subtle consideration was very heartwarming.
"Welcome. Why are you alone? Mr. He didn't come with you? "He Shaochen found it strange that Qiao Qiao had come alone.
Qiao Qiao recalled He Shaochen's arrogant attitude just now. She laughed dryly and said, "Oh, that. I didn't come alone …"
"Oh?"
Xu Anting raised his eyebrows.
Qiao Qiao subconsciously glanced at the door. She was a little embarrassed. She was clearly asking for help, but she ended up being more arrogant than the host. Other than He Shaochen, there was probably no one else who could do this.
Xu Anting saw that Qiao Qiao wanted to say something but stopped. He also noticed her subconscious behavior and immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter. He did not expose her and said gently, "It's too hot outside. Let's talk inside."
Qiao Qiao looked at Xu Anting gratefully and hurriedly nodded. "Okay."
When they walked into the house, Qiao Qiao realized that other than Xu Anting, there was also a refined young man. He looked very kind and gave people a self-evident sense of closeness.
Qiao Qiao looked at him and was a little surprised. She then looked at Xu Anting. Xu Anting smiled and introduced them. "Let me introduce you. Qiao Qiao, this is Professor Su, Su Yanmo, I mentioned to you before. This is Joe Qiao, my favorite student."
Hearing Xu Anting introduce her to outsiders, Qiao Qiao was a little happy and a little embarrassed. She politely greeted Su Yanmo. "Hello, Professor Su. I've read your thesis before. It's very interesting."
"Thank you."
Su Yanmo smiled faintly. He looked up and down at Qiao Qiao and leisurely said, "I've always heard Anting mention you. I thought you would continue to walk down the path of academia. I didn't expect you to give up so easily. Anting has always been very regretful."
When Qiao Qiao heard this, her face was a little embarrassed.
Xu Anting turned around and saw Qiao Qiao's embarrassed face. He immediately stopped Su Yanmo and said, "Yanmo, this isn't the topic we should be discussing today, right?"
When Su Yanmo saw that the usually gentle Xu Anting had become serious, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He looked at Qiao Qiao with a playful gaze. In the end, he just smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't know my limits. Miss Qiao, please don't take it to heart."
Qiao Qiao shook her head and continued to smile. "It's okay. Everyone has their own choice. Although it's a pity to give up on academia, I'm very satisfied with my current situation. As for how others see this problem, I don't care."
Who was this' others'? Everyone had a tacit understanding.
Qiao Qiao's words made the playful look in Su Yanmo's eyes even more intense. He laughed out loud and said to Xu Anting, "Anting, although I don't know why you think this girl is your proudest student, she has a sharp tongue."
Xu Anting elbowed Su Yanmo and smiled. "Who told you to shoot your mouth off? My students aren't easy to bully. "
Su Yanmo glanced at Qiao Qiao and smiled. "I can see that."
Qiao Qiao fearlessly looked at Su Yanmo, but the other party looked away and asked indifferently, "Didn't you say that someone has a cold disease? Why haven't we even seen the person? "
Xu Anting was stunned and looked at Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao's expression also froze. She didn't know what to say. This Su Yanmo looked like someone with a temper. If he knew that He Shaochen would rather wait outside than come in, she didn't know what he would think.
"This …"
Without waiting for her to come up with an explanation, Su Yanmo smiled in a particularly "friendly" manner and said, "Could it be that you look down on us scholars and would rather wait outside than come in to visit us?"
