Chapter 318: Didn't Fall Behind

This thrilling night ended only when Ning Xiyue cleaned herself up, changed into clean pajamas, lay on the kang, and closed her eyes.

There are still many things to face tomorrow, so let’s put them aside for now and not think about them.

Ning Xiyue cleared her mind and fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Yechu thought about everything that happened tonight, decided what to say to Xiyue tomorrow, and then closed his eyes to rest.

After hearing what his sister said, Ning Qingyuan was not too worried about what would happen next. Yu Zhiyu was even less worried with Chen Yetu's comfort. The two of them tidied up, lay down on the bunks, and quickly fell asleep.

The four people in the Youth League Home had already fallen asleep, except for Bai Yu and Zhou Cheng and his wife who couldn't fall asleep for a long time after they returned home.

Bai Yu sighed.

"Alas, I'm afraid my cousin won't forgive us this time. I'm really stupid. I should have been straightforward with Xiyue and made things clear when we met. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, I'll think of other ways. Now I've made it like this. My cousin asked me to take care of someone, but I hurt her."

Zhou Cheng closed his eyes and patted her shoulders soothingly with his arms.

"Go to sleep, don't think too much, and slowly make amends in the future. Be sincere. As long as Xiyue gets along well with him, there won't be any problem with my cousin."

"Well, you're right, let's go to sleep." Bai Yu said softly and closed his eyes.

I’m just afraid that I won’t get along well with Xiyue.

This future cousin's wife is an independent-minded new-age woman with her own unique understanding and opinions. She lamented that she could not compare with her and felt deeply guilty about it.

Oh, so worried!

We can only take one step at a time and see how it goes.

When they got up the next morning, the four of them were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes and yawned while washing.

When Wu Guifang saw this, she asked curiously while washing her face:

"The cat's meowing last night was really scary. Luckily you got up and chased it away. But what happened next? I seemed to hear knocks on the door outside and someone crying. It sounded very loud. Did something happen?"

Chen Yechu wiped the foam from the corners of his mouth and answered helplessly:

"Oh no, it was someone from our coal mining team. Someone was sick, so they came to Xiyue for treatment. They rushed over in a hurry. The sound of a cat meowing, thunder, lightning, and knocking on the door was really scary. My legs were shaking when I opened the door. I was so scared."

Wang Mengmeng nodded in agreement, patted her chest, and still had a hint of fear on her face.

"It was a little scary last night. There were all kinds of noises mixed together. I couldn't hear people talking clearly, and I could vaguely hear some crying. It felt so uneasy and miserable. If I hadn't thought of you guys in this yard, I would have been scared to death. I have been afraid of these things since I was a child. It's too scary."

Ning Xiyue twisted the handkerchief and shook it.

"Quickly spit, don't scare yourself. The family members are just too worried. I got a little emotional and cried. Hurry up and wash up, then go to the cafeteria to eat. I don't know what to eat this morning."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, don't blame me, I'm just talking nonsense, nonsense."

After Wang Mengmeng finished spitting, she closed her eyes, clasped her fingers together, and muttered something quietly.

Wu Guifang joked cheerfully: "Child, if you are afraid of those things, try to get more exposure to Xiyue's energy. Xiyue is a doctor, she has saved many people, and everything is afraid of her."

Wang Mengmeng believed it, put down the washbasin, and rubbed her hands, feet and face against Ning Xiyue.

"Xiyue, come and let me get some of your scent. I want to get more of your scent. Once it's all over me, I won't be afraid anymore."

"Hey, I won't give it to you."

Ning Xiyue and Wang Mengmeng were playing around, and at the same time they felt relieved.

Chen Yechu also felt relaxed.

When they finished breakfast in the cafeteria and were about to go to the clinic, Chen Yechu ran out of the cafeteria, pulled Ning Xiyue close to her ear and whispered:

"Zhou Cheng took sick leave today and didn't come. I heard from the aunt in the cafeteria that he was seriously ill and had a high fever and couldn't get out of bed."

After saying this, she walked away as if nothing had happened, just like an underground organization passing on messages.

After hearing the news, Ning Xiyue chuckled, picked up the kettle and turned to walk towards the clinic.

The couple were smart enough to not let him down and they knew to pretend to be sick in a more serious way, so what they said last night was not in vain.

When we arrived at the entrance of the clinic, Bai Yu was already waiting there, and there were also two aunts from the team waiting there to get medicine.

When Bai Yu saw Ning Xiyue coming, he anxiously went over to hold Ning Xiyue's hand, waving the prescription in one hand and jumping up and down in anxiety.

"Doctor Xiao Ning, you are finally here. It is just as you said when we were seeing the patient last night. My wife's fever subsided but then got worse again in the early morning. This time she is delirious and can't get out of bed. Please help me get the medicine so I can take it back and boil it. I am so worried."

"Don't be impatient, wait for me to open the door." Ning Xiyue took out the key and opened the door.

An auntie nearby walked over and comforted her:

"Big sister, you are from the coal mining team, right? Don't worry. Doctor Xiao Ning from our team is very good. It's just a fever. He will cure you quickly. He is better than the doctors in the town's health hospital, Shufen, don't you think so?"

"Yes, the medical skills are unique and good." Shufen, who was mentioned by her friend, raised her hand to praise and agree with her words.

"Sister, there's really no need to rush. Maybe it's because of the temperature drop last night that caused the fever. I woke up today and found that my throat was sore. I came to see Dr. Xiaoning to get medicine. The medicine she prescribed worked. Since Dr. Xiaoning treated your husband last night, your husband will definitely get better after taking the medicine."

Bai Yu nodded as she listened, and the worry on her face improved a little as the aunts spoke.

Ning Xiyue listened quietly, thinking that Bai Yu was trying hard to grasp the details today, and had the right time, place and people to meet the two aunts to chat.
