My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1330 Worry

When he was exhausted, Ling Xue would encourage him with gentle words; when he encountered a problem, Ling Xue would accompany him to think and discuss. With their joint efforts, Zhou Xing's grades improved day by day, and he gradually stood out among the students in the capital.

Finally, the day of the imperial examination arrived. Zhou Xing walked into the examination room with his family's expectations and his own dreams in mind. He calmly responded to every question and put his knowledge to the fullest. After several days of agonizing waiting, the test results were finally announced. Zhou Xing was on the list, the top of the list! When this news came, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was boiling. The Prime Minister smiled and praised Zhou Xing. Ling Xue was also sincerely happy for Zhou Xing, and her eyes were shining with pride.

However, just when everyone was cheering for Zhou Xing's success, a sudden disaster befell the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wars broke out on the northern border, and the court sent troops to fight them, but they were defeated repeatedly. The enemy army marched straight into the capital. For a time, people inside and outside the capital were in panic, and the people fled for their lives.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was also in chaos. Zhou Xing decided to join the army to defend his country and homeland despite everyone's opposition. He found his father and begged him to allow him to join the army. The Prime Minister did not agree at first. He thought that Zhou Xing was a weak scholar, how could he fight on the battlefield? But under Zhou Xing's insistence, he finally agreed reluctantly.

When Ling Xue learned that Zhou Xing was going to join the army, she was very worried. She found Zhou Xing and said to him, "Sir, there are no judges on the battlefield, you must be careful!" Zhou Xing hugged Ling Xue tightly and said, "Ling Xue, don't worry. I will come back safely. You must wait for me." After that, he resolutely embarked on the journey.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and the shouts of killing shook the earth. Zhou Xing led the soldiers to fight bravely, showing extraordinary courage and wisdom. He charged into battle, fearless of danger, and repelled the enemy's attacks time and time again. His heroic deeds spread throughout the military camp and he became a hero in the hearts of the soldiers.

However, war is cruel. In a fierce battle, Zhou Xing was unfortunately seriously injured. The soldiers hurriedly carried him off the battlefield and sent him to the rear for treatment. When Ling Xue learned that Zhou Xing was injured, she was extremely anxious. She went to the battlefield to find Zhou Xing despite everyone's dissuasion. When she saw the wounded Zhou Xing, tears welled up in her eyes. She gently stroked Zhou Xing's face and said, "Sir, why are you injured? You can't be in trouble!"

Zhou Xing's injuries were very serious, and he was unconscious for a long time before he woke up. He opened his eyes and saw Ling Xue guarding the bedside, with a relieved smile on his face. He said to Ling Xue: "Ling Xue, don't cry. I'm fine." Ling Xue wiped her tears and said: "Sir, you scared me to death. Don't take such risks again in the future!" Zhou Xing held Ling Xue's hand and said: "Ling Xue, I'm fine. When this war is over, we will get married, okay?" Ling Xue nodded and said: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Under Ling Xue's careful care, Zhou Xing's injuries gradually improved. He was unwilling to stay in the rear to recuperate, and requested to return to the battlefield many times. Although Ling Xue was worried, she knew Zhou Xing's temper and had to agree to his request.

After several years of war, the dawn of victory finally arrived. The enemy was completely defeated, and peace and tranquility were restored to the border. Zhou Xing returned triumphantly with the army and was rewarded by the court and praised by the people. When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ling Xue had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Zhou Xing return safely, she excitedly ran over and hugged him. Zhou Xing hugged Ling Xue tightly and said, "Ling Xue, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work over the years."

Ling Xue shook her head and said, "As long as you can come back safely, I will be satisfied."

Afterwards, Zhou Xing proposed to his parents to marry Ling Xue. This time, the prime minister and his wife did not object. After experiencing the baptism of this war, they saw Zhou Xing's growth and change, and also felt his deep affection for Ling Xue. They thought Ling Xue was a kind and brave woman who was worthy of entrusting her life. So, they readily agreed to the marriage.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's wedding was held in a grand ceremony. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was decorated with lights and was filled with joy. Friends and relatives came to congratulate and witness the happy moment of the couple. At the wedding, Zhou Xing wore a gorgeous groom's suit, looking handsome and elegant; Ling Xue wore a red wedding dress, looking as beautiful as a fairy. They walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.

When the wedding ceremony came to the stage of worshipping in the hall, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue bowed respectfully to their parents. The prime minister and his wife looked at their son and daughter-in-law, their hearts filled with joy and relief. They secretly felt lucky that they had not stopped the marriage, otherwise there would not be a happy ending today.

After the wedding, Zhou Xing took Ling Xue back to his mansion. It was already decorated warmly and romantically. They walked into the new house hand in hand, looking at each other, their eyes full of love and tenderness.

"Ling Xue, we are finally together." Zhou Xing said softly.

"Young Master, from now on, I will always be by your side." Ling Xue snuggled in Zhou Xing's arms and said happily.

From then on, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue lived a happy life. Zhou Xing continued to work hard in the officialdom and made important contributions to the country and the people; while Ling Xue stayed at home to take care of her husband and children and do housework. They turned love into a driving force for moving forward, supporting each other and achieving each other. Whether in a bustling city or in a quiet and peaceful countryside, their story is being passed down by people. Because they use their own experiences to tell the world: true love is invincible, as long as there is love, all difficulties and setbacks can be overcome.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue began to jointly investigate the case. They first visited the victimized wealthy businessmen and carefully inquired about the course of the case and the details. In the mansion of one of the wealthy businessmen, Zhou Xing found some strange traces. There were faint marks of soil on the ground, which was different from ordinary soil and seemed to be mixed with some special substances. He leaned over and sniffed carefully, and smelled a faint herbal aroma. Ling Xue was observing the layout and doors and windows of the room. She found that although the windows had preventive measures, there were slight scratches on the door locks, as if they were lightly scratched by a sharp weapon. She was suspicious. Did the thieves enter through the door? But the door lock was not damaged. How to explain this?

Afterwards, they went to the street and questioned some suspicious people. According to a peddler, on the night of the incident, he saw a figure in a black cloak hurriedly walking by, seemingly carrying a heavy package in his hand. But when the peddler wanted to see the figure's face clearly, the figure instantly disappeared into the darkness.

Based on these clues, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue began to search for possible hiding places in the town. They came to an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city. The house was gloomy and dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and exuded a strange atmosphere.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue carefully sneaked into the house. As soon as they entered the door, they felt a strong smell of herbs. Zhou Xing's heart trembled, realizing that this was the same smell he smelled at the scene before. They searched the house carefully. The house was simply furnished, but there were many strange-shaped utensils.

Suddenly, they heard a slight noise, and the two of them drew their swords alertly. A black shadow jumped out from the corner and attacked them. Zhou Xing quickly blocked in front and started fighting with the black shadow. The black shadow was agile and had strange moves, and Zhou Xing was unable to resist for a while. Seeing this, Ling Xue attacked the black shadow from the side, and the two of them worked together to subdue the black shadow.

After interrogation, it turns out that the black shadow is a killer from a mysterious organization in the underworld, hired by others to steal the property of wealthy businessmen. The mastermind behind this mysterious organization seems to have a bigger conspiracy. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue continue to follow the clues and find that this organization is related to a feud in the underworld many years ago.

Back then, a martial arts master was killed by a villain for fighting for a secret book of martial arts, and his family was wiped out. Now, someone is trying to use this secret book to stir up trouble, and the stolen property is just a means for them to raise funds.

A few months later, Ling Xue's local project also reached a critical point. She encountered a thorny problem at work. The parties had different opinions on whether the application of a new type of building material met the design and specification requirements. Ling Xue fell into deep thought. She remembered Zhou Xing's indomitable spirit and dedication to his profession when facing difficulties. She began to study the relevant materials in depth and communicated and discussed with the design unit and the construction unit many times. In the end, with her persistence and hard work, the problem was properly solved and the project was successfully promoted.

Finally, Zhou Xing's project in another city was a complete success. The company's top management was very satisfied with his performance and decided to promote him to regional general manager, responsible for a wider range of business development and project management. This was a rare opportunity and also a recognition of his years of hard work. However, Zhou Xing had a little hesitation in his heart. He remembered the promise he made with Ling Xue when they parted, and remembered that she was waiting silently in this city.

After careful consideration, Zhou Xing made a decision that surprised everyone. He rejected the company's promotion opportunity and applied to be transferred back to the branch in the headquarters city. When he told the company leader about this decision, the leader asked puzzledly: "Why do you give up such a good opportunity? You have a broader development space in a different place." Zhou Xing said firmly: "I know this is a rare opportunity, but I can't forget my original intention and the people I care about. I believe that I can also make some achievements when I return to my hometown." The leader was moved by his determination and finally approved his application.

When Zhou Xing returned to the city, he couldn't wait to see Ling Xue. They met at the place where they had met before - the entrance of the commercial complex. The moment Zhou Xing saw Ling Xue, his heart was filled with joy and emotion. They hugged each other tightly, as if everything in the world stopped at this moment. Zhou Xing whispered, "Xue'er, I'm back." Ling Xue said with tears in her eyes, "I knew you would come back."

Since then, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue have joined hands to open a new chapter of life. They continue to work in the construction industry, contributing to the construction of the city with their professional knowledge and enthusiasm. They have also become the most important people in each other's lives, accompanying and supporting each other. Between every sunrise and sunset, they can feel each other's presence, which is the power of love and the special emotional bond given to them by architecture. Whether it is the grandeur of high-rise buildings or the warmth and simplicity of ordinary houses, they all have different meanings in their eyes. Because they know that behind every building there are countless people's hard work and emotional interweaving, just like their love, which has been precipitated and sublimated in the long river of time. In a corner of the bustling city, high-rise buildings are springing up like bamboo shoots, and behind every building are the hard work of countless workers. Zhou Xing is one of these builders who work silently, a construction worker who works everywhere. He has dark skin, which is the mark left by years of wind and sun. His hands are rough and covered with calluses, but he holds the tools tightly, as if holding the hope of changing his destiny.

Ling Xue, a young and talented female architect, graduated from a prestigious university with a degree in architecture. She entered this industry full of challenges and opportunities with the dream of designing unique buildings. She has a pretty face, a smart and intelligent look in her eyes, and always wears simple and decent professional clothes. She sketches the blueprint in her mind on the architectural drawings, and her focused look is like an artist carving his masterpiece.

The trajectory of fate is always unpredictable. An accidental opportunity brought Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's lives together. It was a construction site for a large residential project, and Zhou Xing's construction team was responsible for the infrastructure construction. Ling Xue, as the assistant architect of this project, followed the chief designer to the construction site for field investigation and initial planning communication. The moment she stepped into the construction site, the noisy sound of machinery, the busy figures of workers, and the mountains of building materials came into view. She frowned slightly, somewhat uncomfortable with such an environment, but still walked forward firmly and began to carefully observe every detail.

Zhou Xing was leading his fellow workers to work enthusiastically, his clothes soaked with sweat. Suddenly, he heard a crisp voice: "Hello, master, has the design of the foundation structure here taken into account the impact of the groundwater level?" Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, stopped his work, looked up, and saw Ling Xue's puzzled face. He scratched his head and said with a simple smile: "Girl, we are constructing according to the drawings. We don't know much about these professions, but we work very hard." Ling Xue frowned slightly, feeling a little helpless. She knew that it might be difficult to communicate professional knowledge with these grassroots workers, but she still patiently explained: "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that if the groundwater level is not handled well, there may be some safety hazards in the later stage." Zhou Xing nodded thoughtfully, with a flash of admiration in his eyes: "Girl, you are so thoughtful. We only know to work hard and really haven't considered these."

This brief exchange left Ling Xue with a deep impression of Zhou Xing. She found that this seemingly ordinary construction worker, although not well educated, had an admirable passion for work and a humble attitude towards professional issues.
