"Ah, that... is a little research!" Annie said.
Ning Xi immediately laughed and said, "Annie, you are too modest. Lu Tingxiao, don't underestimate Annie because she looks so soft and cute. She is actually very capable. She has perfect medical skills and a great talent!"
Annie felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and said hastily, "Not as good as Brother Xi..."
Lu Tingxiao pondered for a moment, then took out a yellowed thread-bound book from a drawer. "It just so happened that I got an ancient medical book a few days ago. If Miss Annie doesn't mind, I'll give it to you as a gift. Thank you for taking care of Xiaoxi when you were abroad."
"No, no, no, it's not me who's taking care of Brother Xi, it's always been her who's taking care of me! And this... this medical book is too valuable!" Annie could tell at a glance that the medical book was very valuable, and it was a unique copy, priceless.
Ning Xi put the book in Annie's hands, "Just take it. It's useless to us anyway. And who said you didn't take care of me? I was injured several times and you took care of me without taking off your clothes!"
"Well... okay, I'll take the book, thank you."
Annie was silent, feeling that there was no need for her to stay any longer. She took a deep breath and smiled, "Brother Xi, I'm really happy to see you today. It's late now, so I'll take my leave and won't disturb you anymore."
"Ah! So fast..."
"I'm still in China for the time being. We'll have a chance to meet in the future. As long as you don't find me annoying, Brother Xi~"
…
Ning Xi and Lu Tingxiao sent Annie downstairs together.
Lu Tingxiao was waiting downstairs. Ning Xi walked Annie to the car and said, "Go slowly on the road."
"Well, you know, I always drive as slow as a snail, so it's impossible for me to go faster!" Annie said with a smile.
The night is quiet and the moonlight is cool.
Annie clenched her fingers into fists, loosened them, and clenched them again. After a long while, she looked up and said with a trembling voice, "Brother Xi, you really can't come back, right?"
Ning Xi sighed and hugged her, "Annie, everyone has their own life, I do, and so do you. Just live your life well and don't worry about me anymore. I'll be fine too."
Annie sniffed. "I admit that I was really worried before I came here, but... Xiaobao is so cute, and Lu Tingxiao is such a nice guy... Brother Xi, I wish you happiness! Apart from this, it seems that anything else I say would be redundant."
"Thank you, I will!"
After saying goodbye to Ning Xi, Annie waved, opened the car door, and started the engine.
The car drove slowly away from the apartment.
In the rearview mirror, she vaguely saw the man putting a thick coat on the girl in front of the building behind her. The girl looked up and smiled at him. The two of them talked while hugging each other and went upstairs...
It turns out that Xi Ge is very good, really very good. She has a loved one, dreams, and a career, which is much better than before.
Why let her come back
…
After going upstairs and opening the door, Ning Xi hugged Lu Tingxiao's waist and raised her head to thank him, "Boss, thank you!"
Lu Tingxiao leaned against the door and asked, "What are you thanking me for?"
Ning Xi raised her head and looked at the man in front of her seriously: "Thank you for being so nice to my friend. You know... you know that she is from that side, right?"
Lu Tingxiao: "I just need to know that she is someone you cherish."
