I insist

Chapter 114: Seeing the person in bed

"Okay, then give me a straight answer: will you help or not?"

"Sister, I really don't like this. Father just wants us to live a carefree life. Why do we have to fight for him?"

Unexpectedly, her sister said that, and she frowned angrily, but she didn't make any further moves. She turned over and closed the door.

Song Miqiu hadn't expected this. She turned around and glanced at Wu Hanxue, who was equally stunned. In the end, she could only take her back into the house to ask about the situation.

However, despite trying various methods, she couldn't get the other person to open their mouth, so she gave up and told them to rest in the room. She then went out alone to prepare lunch.

It seems that because there are only three people left today, there are not many people in the kitchen, and no one has even prepared breakfast at this time.

Song Miqiu didn't mind. She then made two small dishes and a few steamed buns before quickly walking back to the side room, intending to let Wu Hanxue eat with her.

But she seemed to have not rested well yesterday, and she just fell asleep in her room without any restraint.

Seeing that peaceful expression, Song Miqiu didn't want to disturb him, so he simply divided the food into two portions and sat down to eat.

Not wanting to move around too much, he picked up a medical book and leaned back in his chair to read it.

By the time we finished our meal, we had read more than half of the book.

Song Miqiu was so engrossed in one of the chapters that she didn't look up for a moment.

But just as he was about to put down his book and rest for a moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Yu Huailin walked in from outside.

"How are the preparations for today going?"

"Prepare?"

What else is happening today?

Song Miqiu looked at the other person with suspicion for a while before raising her head. Just as she was about to ask for clarification, she heard a slightly soft gasp.

Turning her head quickly, she realized that Wu Hanxue, who had been quite tidy just moments before, had her hair and clothes disheveled due to her sleeping posture, revealing a bit of her fair skin.

Yu Huailin was unaware of this and stared at the other person in disbelief. After a while, he realized something was wrong, immediately looked away, and pulled Song Miqiu out of the room.

Why is she resting in your room? Doesn't she remember what happened before?

"What can I do? She had a fight with Wu Hanshuang, and the door across the street still hasn't opened."

Following Song Miqiu's hand, he looked at the room with the door tightly closed, his brows furrowing even more. He wanted to say something, but then he heard a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, and I couldn't help but fall asleep in bed."

"It's okay, there's still some food I've prepared on the table. Go and eat if you're hungry."

Seeing Wu Hanxue's bright red ears, she shook her head helplessly. She was about to say something more when she heard a low male voice.

"Don't you know her capabilities? Why invite a wolf into the house?"

"This girl isn't as bad as you say, and she was actually kicked out because of me."

Yu Huailin didn't believe this explanation at all. His brows furrowed, clearly wanting to say something, but in the end, he shut up under Wu Hanxue's gaze.

Noticing their little interaction, Song Miqiu covered her mouth and chuckled, then couldn't help but raise her hand to tidy her hair, which had been sticking up in her fluster.

Wu Hanxue felt the movement of the person next to her, her face turned even redder with embarrassment, and she ran into the private room with her head in her hands.

"Alright, if you have nothing else to say, I'd like to read a couple more medical books."

"Don't let anything hold you back, otherwise..."

Suddenly feeling threatened again, Song Miqiu frowned, but quickly remembered the flushed face from earlier and gave a teasing smile.

"Are you really not going to consider it?"

"What are you thinking about? Just focus on doing your own thing and don't meddle in other people's business."

Song Miqiu, however, ignored his anger and embarrassment, shrugged, and then turned and went into the room.

On the other side, seemingly having composed himself, he knocked on Song Miqiu's door again that evening.

"I've come to pick up my sister."

“I told you sisters are of one mind. You were just thinking about her, and she came to pick you up.”

Wu Hanxue immediately smiled slightly at her sister, moved to her side, and grabbed her hand, revealing a silly expression that she only showed to her family.

Seemingly amused by that expression, Wu Hanshuang said nothing more and gently led the person back to the room.

The next day, when they met again, they found that Wu Hanshuang's expression had changed once again.

But this did not surprise Song Miqiu in the slightest. Instead, she turned to look at Wu Hanxue, who had only exchanged a glance with Yu Huailin before lowering her head.

Aren't you going to give me any response at all?

Why should we give it to them?

"We won't have much contact in the future."

Upon hearing this explanation, Song Miqiu remained silent, but once again glanced at Wu Hanxue, who was secretly observing.

I always felt that things would go in the opposite direction.

Song Miqiu nodded to Wu Hanxue, then tried to stand in her place, waiting for the eunuch to announce the competition rules.

But to her utter surprise, the person on the other end didn't speak; instead, they looked down at the group of six from their elevated position.

"The rules for the competition are the same as the day before. If there are no further questions, proceed immediately..."

Before he could finish speaking, the father-in-law noticed that Yu Huailin had suddenly walked in front of Song Miqiu. He thought that Yu Huailin had something to say, and just as he raised his hand slightly, he saw the man spit out a mouthful of blood and fall down.

All of this happened so suddenly that Song Miqiu was momentarily stunned and could only reach out to support the person.

But it seems that the posture was wrong, because the person choked on a mouthful of blood and coughed painfully.

"what happened?"

No one answered Song Miqiu's question; they simply turned their gazes to the sisters beside them, each with a different expression.

Wu Hanxue visibly flinched, and was about to explain when her older sister blocked her behind her.

"Isn't this a competition? Aren't you going to give him an antidote?"

"Does the competition really require such a highly toxic poison?"

Wu Hanshuang ignored this question, only looking at Ming Taicheng with a mocking gaze, as if she wanted to see how he would resolve it.

But the person on stage wasn't in a hurry at all; in fact, he looked at the others below with an even calmer gaze.

Seemingly sensing that everyone's gaze was on him, Mingtai Cheng simply said in a calmer voice, "The match continues."

"Do you really think she can cure us sisters of the poison?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Song Miqiu again, and seeing that she was still frowning and seemingly deep in thought, they couldn't help but turn their gaze to Ming Taicheng once more.

It wasn't because they didn't trust her medical skills, but because the poison worked too fast. In just a moment, Yu Huailin's face had turned bluish-black, and blood was still oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Physician Ming, this is just a competition. If someone dies, what will happen in the future..."

"If you don't even have this much determination, what kind of doctor are you?"

One sentence silenced everyone, leaving them only able to remain silent as they watched the old man and the young man below the stage.

Although Zhang Jingsong, who was standing to the side, was dissatisfied with Song Miqiu, he still felt a little sorry for the highly skilled man when he saw him in this state.
