16: Chapter 14: Threat from a Stranger 16: Chapter 14: Threat from a Stranger At that moment, Li Xiaoqiang felt as if he had become Liu Xiaohui!

Not long after, Xia Ke’er lay on Li Xiaoqiang’s chest, whispering, “Will you be good to me?”

Li Xiaoqiang had heard a saying online: when a woman deeply loves a man, she always asks a silly question, “Do you love me?”

But Xia Ke’er was smart; she had changed it to “Will you be good to me?” which completely altered the meaning.

Li Xiaoqiang nodded and said, “I will!”

The two embraced each other, and an hour later, both got out of bed.

When the lights were turned on, Li Xiaoqiang stared at the deep red on the sheets and knew that his responsibility had just increased.

Xia Ke’er gathered up the sheets and folded them.

Li Xiaoqiang knew that many girls kept them after their first time.

For a girl, turning into a woman is a process of breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Even if they experience passionate love later, the shadow of this man will always be treasured deep in their memories.

The next day, in order to prevent Su Xiaoya from noticing any change, Xia Ke’er left early.

From the way she walked, it was evident that she had been “taken care of” by Li Xiaoqiang.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Li Xiaoqiang had been in the hospital for a week.

He completed the discharge procedures this morning.

As for the expenses, they were all covered by the police department.

During that week, the relationship between Li Xiaoqiang and Su Xiaoya had significantly improved; she said she saw Li Xiaoqiang as a friend, the kind for life.

As for Xia Ke’er, since they had been intimate, their relationship naturally progressed step by step.

Perhaps because of embarrassment or another reason after that night’s love-making, Xia Ke’er hadn’t personally taken care of Li Xiaoqiang.

They only talked over the phone.

Today, upon his discharge, Xia Ke’er came dressed in her police uniform, radiating a dashing aura; it was hard to imagine how tender she was in Li Xiaoqiang’s arms.

She walked up to Li Xiaoqiang, her face slightly flushed, and she dared not look directly into Li Xiaoqiang’s eyes as she whispered, “I’ve been busy with that case recently, so I haven’t taken care of you.

You won’t blame me, right?”

Li Xiaoqiang shook his head and smiled, “How could I?

As a big man, I’m open-hearted.”

Seeing Xia Ke’er’s flushed face, Su Xiaoya exclaimed in surprise, “Ke’er, why is your face so red?

Do you have a cold?

You should go get checked out quickly.”

Xia Ke’er walked up to Su Xiaoya and quickly smiled, “No, it’s just the heat from breakfast earlier.”

“Oh!” Su Xiaoya nodded.

The three of them walked out of City Hospital, got into a police car parked outside, and Xia Ke’er offered to drive the two to Jinnan University.

Li Xiaoqiang mentioned that in a couple of days, he would treat everyone to a meal; first, he needed to return to university and finish the assignments he owed, otherwise, he wouldn’t get his degree and diploma.

After getting out of the car at the university gate, Xia Ke’er went her separate way while Su Xiaoya and Li Xiaoqiang entered the school together.

Walking through the campus, they immediately attracted a lot of attention; men who saw Li Xiaoqiang directly blacklisted him…

But there were still many who held a skeptical attitude, because Liu Lulu was known for her beauty, thus Li Xiaoqiang, an otherwise unremarkable character, was known by many fellow students.

Although Liu Lulu wasn’t as stunning as Su Xiaoya, she was still ranked the seventh beauty at Jinnan University.

Amidst surprised glances from others, Li Xiaoqiang walked Su Xiaoya to the girls’ dormitory building and then left.
