Ning Xi's expression changed immediately, "So, something really happened at home?"
Tang Nuo saw that he couldn't hide it any longer, so he clenched his fists and didn't want to say anything. However, because he was worried that Ning Xi would misunderstand him as an outsider, he could only speak incoherently, "At home...something did happen...as you know, my dad is easily influenced, and some time ago he was tricked by a co-worker he met on the construction site into borrowing a large sum of money...but...but...now he won't come back..."
"How much did you borrow?" Ning Xi asked with a frown.
“Probably… all of my savings… including the money you sent to my family a few times ago, have been borrowed out… adding up to six hundred thousand… my family was originally planning to buy a house in town… but now, they can’t even afford my tuition… my grandma got sick from anger a while ago… all the money for her medical expenses was borrowed…” The boy looked more and more embarrassed as he spoke.
Ning Xi was silent for a while, then asked in a deep voice, "You went to look for Ning Xueluo, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, the young man hurriedly explained, "Because I really had nowhere else to go... Otherwise I would never have come to find her... In the end... Haha, I really shouldn't have come..."
Even if Ning Xi didn't tell him what happened after the young man found Ning Xueluo, she probably knew what the result would be.
Ning Xi was about to say "Why didn't you look for me?", but she swallowed it back, sighed softly, and said directly, "Okay, I know the situation. You've been running around all day, and you must be tired now. Stay here with me tonight and have a good rest. I'll go home with you tomorrow."
Tang Nuo immediately raised his head, "Sister..."
In order to prevent the boy from refusing, Ning Xi interrupted him and said, "If you still think I'm your sister, then stop talking nonsense and go to sleep! The fact that you went to find Ning Xueluo today instead of looking for me has already made me very angry!"
Ning Xi had already said this, Tang Nuo had no choice but to go to bed anxiously.
In fact, he had always been looking forward to his sister's return.
However, what his mother said back then must have hurt her heart. No matter how much he missed her, he dared not ask her to come back. Even with such a big thing happening at home, he didn't have the face to come and bother her.
But now, I still have to trouble her...
…
late at night.
Tonight is still a sleepless night.
She walked lightly into the boy's room, tucked in the quilt for him, and quietly looked at his sleeping face for a while.
Go back...
It's good to go back...
Maybe returning to the original place could help her wake up.
…
…
Early the next morning, Ning Xi took Tang Nuo to City C. After quickly settling matters there, she had to rush back to see Lu Tingxiao in the evening.
In order to avoid being recognized, Ning Xi disguised herself as usual.
This time she dressed up as a simple and lovely country girl.
Tang Nuo's eyes suddenly became wet as he looked at the girl in front of him who was wearing a floral dress, had two pigtails and had rosy cheeks.
It has been so long, and even if he missed her so much, he didn't dare to look for her. In fact, it was because he was afraid that the sister in his memory would never come back.
Fortunately, fortunately his sister is still here...
Ning Xi knew that she hadn't slept well for several days and didn't dare to drive while tired, so she took a long-distance bus back with Tang Nuo.
Tang Nuo didn't care at all. Instead, he was very happy and comfortable.
The brother and sister chatted about their own things along the way and soon returned to their previous intimacy, as if they had never been apart.
