Special Forces Medic-Chapter 612 - 575: Can Xia Xue and I Last Until the End

"If you were Fourth Master, which channel would you choose to enter Huaxia without being noticed?" Xiao Lin walked very slowly, and when passing by the entrance of the police station, he deliberately stopped and waited for Hua Qingyi behind him.

"If I were bold enough, I would take the normal channel." Hua Qingyi cooperatively crouched down beside Xiao Lin to tie his shoelaces.

"That’s actually a really good suggestion." Xiao Lin pondered Hua Qingyi’s words. In fact, it’s not impossible to use the regular channel. Some people’s identities are quite special and can enter without security checks. The green channel can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. "Are there any major performances or celebrity concerts happening lately?"

"You mean to ask if Chopin has any events coming up, right? Actually, I’m not into that same thing as you." Hua Qingyi stood up. The police station was lit, but there wasn’t many people around. They continued to walk forward.

"Not exactly, just relying on one person wouldn’t be enough to carry so much across the border. Even using the green channel has its limits; she wouldn’t bet everything on that."

"Actually, I’ve thought of a way, but I’m not sure how feasible it is." Hua Qingyi scratched his hair, annoyed by being soaked in rain. Standing there felt a bit awkward. "How much longer are we going to be here?" Seeing Hua Qingyi’s discomfort, Xiao Lin gave up the idea of entering the police station. He also wanted to change out of his wet clothes.

The innkeeper had limited tolerance for alcohol, but he sobered up extraordinarily quickly. The moment Xiao Lin and his group stepped inside, he warmly welcomed them.

"I’m truly sorry, gentlemen. At my age, I drank and ended up dozing off. It’s quite embarrassing for you both!"

"Haha, it’s nothing." Xiao Lin shook hands with the innkeeper, whose palms and fingertips were thick with calluses. Haha, what does someone who runs a store need to do to wear their hands down like this? His dark eyes roamed the innkeeper’s face. "You drank a bit too much today; it’s not a problem."

"Look at that heavy rain outside, yet you went out. Go back to your room and take a hot shower before we chat." The innkeeper took the umbrellas from them, checking for damage. However, they looked like they had been dunked in water from head to toe.

"Oh, I noticed you didn’t bring extra clothes. Later, I’ll have the missus come up to collect your coats. We have a dryer here; you’ll be able to wear them tomorrow."

"Thank you, but there’s no need for the missus to come up. We can bring them down ourselves." Xiao Lin politely declined the offer of room service, as the eavesdropping earlier was an undeniable fact.

The innkeeper gave an awkward smile, apparently reminded of the actions from the afternoon, feeling a bit embarrassed himself. "Honestly, I didn’t mean it that way earlier, really."

"It’s nothing. I just feel a bit guilty. If you really feel uneasy about it, you can have the missus collect the coats later." Xiao Lin didn’t want to make things difficult for the innkeeper, so he changed his mind.

"Alright, alright."

Dan Qing is meticulous. After they switched rooms, there were two new sets of men’s pajamas on the bed, probably just bought that afternoon. Hua Qingyi touched the new clothes with emotion. "Whoever marries a woman like this is truly blessed."

"Dan Qing fits all your criteria. You should give it a shot; after all, you’re not against married women." Xiao Lin teased Hua Qingyi, winking at him. He wondered if it was time to find a good stepfather for Niu Niu.

However, what puzzled him was that Hua Qingyi didn’t argue back this time. "What’s going on?"

"My old man wants me to start going on blind dates, you know, those stupid political marriages." Hua Qingyi grumbled, wanting to flop onto the bed, but was quickly pulled back by Xiao Lin. "That’s the only bed. Please don’t make it wet again."

The innkeeper had given them the only unreserved room, but unfortunately, it was just a double bed room. With no other choice, compared to that dirty room, Xiao Lin opted without hesitation. He didn’t mind, and believed that the person beside him wouldn’t either. Fortunately, Dan Qing was considerate enough not to let the two men face each other naked on one bed at night. If this were caught by those paparazzi who love exposing politicians’ private lives, it would definitely lead to negative press and make headlines.

"Brother, I’ve always wanted to ask, can you and Xia Xue go the distance?" In the bathroom, Hua Qingyi started grooming his beard in front of the mirror. Compared to home, it wasn’t as convenient. Looking at the razor and shaving cream in hand, and some bath products typically used, he recognized Dan Qing’s thoughtfulness and diligence.

Xiao Lin opened the window. Lately, his smoking habit seemed excessive, reaching a point where a cigarette was never far from his hand. As a doctor, he had to start protesting against how he treated his lungs.

"Worry about yourself first! At least I have a woman, what about you!" He hadn’t thought much about these political marriage issues. He had his own standards for choosing a woman, something no one else could interfere with.

In a sense, he already had his woman, fortunately striving for something more. Hua Qingyi was different. He seemed to have a phobia when it came to choosing a woman, which is why he would be suited for political marriage. No choices, just one woman there, turn off the lights and everything’s the same.

Under the showerhead, the man wiped the water from his face. Did he not have a woman he liked? One hand on the wall, that angelic face appeared in his mind, the purity of which made him want to crush it, a feeling no woman under him could ever provide.

Even though he knew that woman was impossible for him, this he was rational about. If he truly couldn’t have her, then he would destroy her. That was his way of loving, a way both tender and cruel.

Coming out with a fresh towel, Hua Qingyi’s face had the flush of recent indulgence. Xiao Lin frowned. "Did you clean up in there?"

"You can wait until it dries before going in." Without much emotion, Hua Qingyi’s mood was heavy; was it because he trusted? This thing couldn’t be his burden, but what was certain was that the earlier topic was the reason for his heavy mood.

"You still have that Fourth Master in your heart." Hua Qingyi didn’t refute; his silence was equivalent to admitting it. Standing in front of him, Xiao Lin just placed his hand on Hua Qingyi’s freshly washed head, rubbing it. He believed he could handle it. If he couldn’t even manage a woman, he wouldn’t be able to stand in that position beside him. (To be continued.
