Knife Master

Su Ziqiang saw Xia Tian at a glance, and then his face changed. As the saying goes, enemies become jealous of each other when they meet. In Su Ziqiang's eyes, Xia Tian was definitely his undoubted enemy.

As a direct descendant of the Su family, Su Ziqiang had had smooth sailing since he was a child and had basically encountered no setbacks. Although he had fought with others out of jealousy, he was always the one who beat others. But this time, he was actually beaten, and was beaten twice in a row, leaving him unconscious and hospitalized. This was simply a great shame!

When he woke up in the hospital that day, he called his third brother Su Junfeng. In the past, whenever he had problems, he would ask his third brother to help him. He thought that this time, his third brother would help him and put that bastard named Xia Tian in jail for ten or eight years. However, he never expected that he got news the next day that his third brother would not pursue the matter and that kid named Xia Tian was released from the police station.

He went to question his third brother, but he said that he owed Xia Tian a favor and this time he was returning the favor, and asked him not to pursue the matter any further. Although he agreed at the time, he didn't really mean it. How could he not pursue the matter?

He had already found out some things about Xia Tian, ​​and learned that he was just an employee of Xinxin Flower Shop, with no money or power, but he seemed to know some martial arts and was quite good at fighting. In Su Ziqiang's opinion, such a person was not worthy of going against him. In this day and age, the rich and powerful were the masters. If he could fight, at best he was just a thug for others. So what if he could fight? As long as he had money, he could hire ten or a hundred people who were better at fighting!

"There are all kinds of people these days. A migrant worker who comes to deliver flowers also comes to a high-end western restaurant!" Su Ziqiang said sarcastically.

Xia Tian turned to look at Su Ziqiang: "Are you talking about me?"

"Am I wrong?" Su Ziqiang sneered, "Looking at the way you are dressed, I really doubt whether you have enough money to eat this meal!"

"Sir, your steak." At this time, the waiter brought two steaks.

Xia Tian then asked casually: "Sister, how much does this meal cost?"

"Sir, this is eighty-eight dollars a portion," the waiter explained.

"Oh, so two servings will cost one hundred and seventy-six." Xia Tian looked at Su Ziqiang, "Although you are an idiot, you are right about one thing this time. I only have one hundred dollars on me, which is really not enough."

"You, you called me an idiot?" Su Ziqiang glared at Xia Tian.

"If you're not an idiot, what are you? Where I eat is none of your business? Whether I have money to eat or not is none of your business? I didn't eat at your house or at the restaurant you opened. Even if I don't have money to pay, you don't have to worry about it. But you have to come here and complain. Aren't you an idiot enough?" Xia Tian glared at Su Ziqiang, "I'm warning you, don't bother me, or I'll beat you up!"

Dozens of eyes in the restaurant were staring at Su Ziqiang. There was really something wrong with this guy. Why do you care whether others have money to eat or not?

"Sir, please don't disturb this gentleman's meal." The waiter also spoke. Xia Tian had just called her sister, which made her very happy.

Su Ziqiang saw that he seemed to have offended everyone, so he didn't say anything and sat down at the next seat. He thought, this kid has no money? When it comes time to pay the bill, let's see how he makes a fool of himself!

"Why hasn't Sister Yunman come out yet?" Xia Tian muttered. When he smelled the aroma of steak, he decided to start eating first.

Holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, Xia Tian felt a little awkward. He couldn't help but mutter, "It's more comfortable to use chopsticks."

"You country bumpkin, you don't even know how to use a knife and fork." Su Ziqiang couldn't help but sneer again.

"You actually said I can't use a knife?" Xia Tian was very unhappy. He thought that his second master was a master with a knife, and he was even better than him. Although he usually didn't like to use a knife and preferred to use his fists, this guy actually said that he couldn't use a knife. This was simply an insult to his second master!

"I'm not saying you can't do it, you really can't do it!" Su Ziqiang sneered, "I think you should ask the waiter to give you a pair of chopsticks!"

"Then I'll show you how to use it!" Xia Tian picked up the knife with his right hand and the plate with the steak with his left hand. He shook his left hand slightly, and the steak flew into the air.

At this time, Xia Tian's right hand holding the knife moved, his wrist flipped, and the knife danced quickly. Everyone saw only flashing silver light and felt dazzled, but could not see the specific scene clearly.

"Dangdangdangdang..." Xia Tian retracted the knife. Everyone heard a slight sound, and pieces of beef steak, each an inch square, fell on the plate, neatly arranged.

“That’s amazing!”

“Is this a magic trick?”

"What a master at using a knife..."

"What a pity, I should have taken a picture with my phone..."

A group of people in the restaurant were whispering, and they all looked at Xia Tian differently, with a mixture of envy, admiration, regret, and jealousy.

Xia Tian picked up a piece of steak with a fork and put it into his mouth: "Hmm, it tastes good..."

He turned around and looked at Su Ziqiang: "Hey, idiot, if you have the guts, why don't you try to use a knife like me?"

Su Ziqiang's face looked very ugly. He really didn't expect Xia Tian to do such a thing. Although he felt that Xia Tian was suspected of changing the concept, he also knew that it would be useless to ridicule Xia Tian on this issue again at this time.

"So what if you can use a knife?" Su Ziqiang was unwilling to lose face like this, "When you don't have money to pay the bill later, do you also want to use a knife to solve it?"

Su Ziqiang's words were quite vicious. Wasn't it obvious that Xia Tian wanted to eat and free meal?

Xia Tian stuffed another piece of steak into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it: "Idiot, I don't have money to pay the bill, but I don't have to pay for it later."

"You don't have to pay the bill?" Su Ziqiang was stunned at first, then suddenly remembered that there were two steaks in front of this guy, and obviously there was someone eating with him!

"That's right, I'm treating Xia Tian to dinner today, so naturally I'll pay the bill." A gentle voice came, drawing everyone's attention.

Su Ziqiang felt like he was electrocuted for a moment. She was so beautiful. Why had he never met such a beautiful woman before?

Then he became jealous. How could such a beautiful woman eat with a migrant worker like Xia Tian? And pay for her? Even if she wanted to pay for him, she should pay for him, the handsome and promising young master of the Su family!

"Xia Tian, ​​I really admire you. You are so self-righteous even though you are a gigolo!" Su Ziqiang said with disdain, but his eyes were filled with deep jealousy.

"Idiot, we're a family having dinner together, do we have to be so clear about who pays?" Xia Tian was getting more and more unhappy. "I'm in a good mood today, so I'm giving you one last chance. Don't bother me anymore, or I'll throw you out!"

"If you have the guts, just throw me and try." Su Ziqiang sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ziqiang felt his neck tighten. Xia Tian had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Of course I have the guts!" Xia Tian pushed his hand and Su Ziqiang flew into the air, flew straight out of the restaurant, and fell heavily on the road outside, causing passers-by to exclaim.

"Zi Qiang!" Zhang Li ran out hurriedly.

"Xia Tian, ​​just wait for me, I'm not done with you!" Su Ziqiang yelled angrily outside, but he didn't dare to come in.

"Sister Yunman, eat quickly." Xia Tian smiled at Liu Yunman. He naturally would not care about Su Ziqiang's threat.

Liu Yunman looked at Xia Tian with strange eyes. She had come back when Xia Tian started to play with the knife, so she saw that scene with her own eyes. Although it seemed to have nothing to do with medical skills, it made her have more confidence in Xia Tian's abilities.

"Xia Tian, ​​do you have anything to do this afternoon?" Liu Yunman suddenly asked.

"Probably not. Sister Xin's flower shop usually doesn't have much going on." Xia Tian said after thinking for a while.

"Then, how about you start treating me this afternoon?" Liu Yunman finally made a decision. She only had a few months to live anyway, so she would use herself to verify Xia Tian's medical skills first. If Xia Tian could really alleviate her condition, it would mean that Xia Tian was really capable. At that time, she would be able to let him treat other family members whose illnesses were not so serious.

"No problem!" Xia Tian was more than happy to accept this. This was his future wife, and she couldn't just die like this.

Su Ziqiang did not appear again until the two of them finished their meal, paid the bill and left the restaurant.

Xia Tian followed Liu Yunman to the First Affiliated Hospital, and then left together in Liu Yunman's car.

Ten minutes later, the car drove into Mingdian Community.

Mingdian Community is a relatively high-end real estate project in Jianghai City. Liu Yunman bought a suite of more than 90 square meters here, located on the twelfth floor, with light on three sides and good ventilation. It is said to have three bedrooms and two living rooms, but in fact, the so-called three bedrooms are two bedrooms and a pitifully small study. Although the living room is barely large, the dining room is pitifully small. It is crowded for four people to eat together, but it is suitable for a world for two people.

The decoration in the house is relatively simple, with pure white as the main color. It can be seen that Liu Yunman likes white very much. The whole house looks very tidy and orderly.

"I also have a dormitory in the hospital. I live there most of the time. Almost no one knows where I live, so no one should disturb me here." Liu Yunman led Xia Tian into her bedroom. Her bedroom was also very tidy, even a little too tidy. Compared with Qiao Xiaoqiao, they were simply two opposite extremes.

Seeing that Xia Tian seemed to be still admiring her bedroom, Liu Yunman's face became slightly hot. After all, this was the first time she brought a man into her boudoir. In order to break the awkward atmosphere, she asked again: "Xia Tian, ​​do you need to make any preparations before the treatment?"

"No need." Xia Tian came back to his senses and shook his head, "Sister Yunman, do you have silver needles?"

"Silver needles?" Liu Yunman shook her head. "I don't have any, but Xia Tian, ​​don't you have any silver needles?"

Liu Yunman knew that the so-called Eight Needles Against Heaven were the secret method of acupuncture. But how could someone who could use acupuncture to treat diseases not even have silver needles? This was too illogical, wasn't it?
