Chapter 1079 The Returnee's Notes 153

Since Xie Ning has already said that, it would be inappropriate for her to refuse again.

However, the teaching assistant still subtly inquired for a while and only breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Ouyang Lin's job was good.

She didn't want Xie Ning to tighten his belt to treat her to a meal.

Although Xie Ning bought a lot of things today, it was obviously enough for four people. Perhaps influenced by the rumors online, the assistant subconsciously thought Xie Ning was poor.

The mall was bustling with people. Xie Ning carried a shopping bag in one hand and held her assistant's hand with the other, subtly leading her away from some things.

The teaching assistant thought Xie Ning was afraid of getting lost, and comforted Xie Ning as they walked, saying, "If the hospital in the school had decent equipment, you wouldn't need to come out to get a certificate."

However, the school doctor at our school is quite skilled; he can treat minor illnesses.

Serious illnesses require going to major hospitals. Speaking of major hospitals, the class assistant reminded Xie Ning, "The First Hospital we went to this time was good, but the Second Hospital is not so good. They say the consultation fees are too expensive, and the doctors there are not very skilled. Of course, I heard this from a senior student who studies pathology. Anyway, it's best not to go there for treatment."

Xie Ning nodded absentmindedly, her gaze following one person, but in the blink of an eye, that person disappeared.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Ning turned around and pointed in the direction she had just been looking. "Senior Xia, let's go over there and take a look. I want to buy some more food."

"good."

But when Xie Ning arrived here, she still couldn't find anyone, and she had no way to look for anyone in such a large shopping mall.

Just now, as she was leaving with her assistant, she saw a withered ghost following behind a man wearing a plaid shirt. It was clearly a ghost that had attached itself to him.

That's why Xie Ning subconsciously went to look for it, but there were too many people here, and her view was soon blocked, so she had to give up.

"Xiao Ning, is there a cake you like?"

Xie Ning pointed to a matcha mini cake and said, "This one will do. I'll trouble Senior Xia to pass it on to Senior Xiao later."

The class assistant and Xiao Xiao happened to be roommates.

"Yeah, Xiaoxiao loves matcha cake. She even said she'll buy a big one when she gets her part-time pay, haha."

Xiao Xiao's family was not well-off, so she did not go home during winter and summer vacations. Instead, she worked part-time to earn tuition and living expenses to ease the burden on her family.

Occasionally, when she has extra money, she will buy some clothes for her parents and send them back home.

"So your senior sister Xiao must be very happy to see this cake!"

"That's good."

Just after Xie Ning and her assistant left the mall, another man wearing a plaid shirt came out carrying a cartoon cake.

The man's eyes behind his glasses showed unspeakable weariness, and his mood only improved when he saw the green cartoon cake.

Lately, for some reason, he always feels very heavy, as if something is pressing on his shoulders.

Perhaps it's because I've been working too much overtime lately.

Driving home, the first person to run out to greet him was his son, dressed in cartoon pajamas. "Dad, why are you so late? I was almost asleep waiting for you! Look at the little dinosaur pajamas Mom bought me, aren't they super cute!"

"Looks good, looks good. Xuanxuan looks handsome no matter what he wears."

The son was snuggling in his arms, and his wife was taking out the dinner she had prepared. Because it was the child's birthday, she had made a table full of dishes, all of which were the child's favorites.

"Thank goodness you didn't have to work overtime today, otherwise you would have missed Xuanxuan's birthday again."

The man placed the cake on the table and called Xuanxuan over. "Xuanxuan, look, isn't this the little dinosaur cake you like? They were out of red ones, so Daddy bought the green one. Xuanxuan, are you angry with Daddy?"

Xuanxuan ignored the man's words and innocently pointed behind him, "Daddy, who is that uncle?"

The man froze, looking back in terror, but saw nothing.

His wife quickly picked Xuanxuan up and patted his bottom, saying, "You little rascal, you're scaring your dad!"

Then she explained to the man, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He's always like this. Xuanxuan, tell your dad, are you just making things up?"

Xuanxuan glanced behind her father again, but found nothing there. She pouted and said, "There's nothing there."

But he clearly saw something just now, and it was really scary. Luckily, he often watches dinosaur movies and isn't afraid of monsters!
