This thrilling night ended only when Ning Xiyue cleaned herself up, changed into clean pajamas, lay down 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 recalled everything that happened tonight, decided what to say to Xiyue tomorrow, and 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 Yechu's comfort. The two of them tidied up and lay down on the bunk and fell asleep quickly.

The four people in the Youth League Home had already fallen asleep, except for Bai Yu and Zhou Cheng, a couple on the other side, who could not fall asleep for a long time after returning 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, then it works. If it doesn't, I'll find another way. Now I've made things 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 around her.

"Go to sleep, don't think too much. You can slowly make amends later. Be sincere. As long as Xiyue gets along well with you, there won't be any problem with your cousin."

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

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

This future cousin-in-law is an independent-minded new-age woman with her own unique understanding and opinions. She laments that she cannot compare with her and feels 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 up.

After seeing this, Wu Guifang asked curiously while washing her face:

"That cat's meowing last night was really scary. Luckily you guys got up and chased it away. But then something happened. I half-dazed and thought I heard knocking on the door and someone crying. It was really loud. Did something happen?"

Chen Yechu wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth and replied helplessly:

"Oh no, it was someone from our coal mining team. Someone was sick and came to see Xiyue. They rushed over in a hurry. The cat's meow and thunder mixed with lightning and knocking on the door were 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.

"Don't say that last night was a bit scary. All kinds of noises mixed together. I couldn't make out people's voices, and I could vaguely hear some crying. It felt so uneasy and miserable. If I hadn't thought about you guys in this yard, I would have been scared to death. I've been afraid of these things since I was a child. It's too scary."

Ning Xiyue twisted the handkerchief and shook it.

"Quickly, stop scaring yourself. The family members are just too worried. I got a little emotional and started crying. Hurry up and wash up. After washing, go to the cafeteria for dinner. I don't know what they have 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 in a low voice.

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 on, let me get some of your scent. I want to get more of your scent. Once it's all wrapped up in me, I won't be afraid anymore."

"Hey, I won't let you rub it."

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 that, 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 knew they had to act more seriously when pretending to be sick. So their words last night were 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're finally here. It's just as you said last night. My wife's fever subsided, but then got worse again in the early morning. This time, she's delirious and can't get out of bed. Please get me some medicine so I can take it home and boil it. I'm so worried I'm dying."

"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're from the coal mine team, right? Don't worry. Our doctor, Xiao Ning, is very skilled. It's just a fever. He'll cure you quickly. He's better than the doctors at the town's health hospital, Shufen, don't you think?"

"Yes, it's good to have unique medical skills." Shufen, who was mentioned by her friend, raised her hand to praise and agree with her.

"Sister, there's really no need to rush. Maybe it's the fever from last night's temperature drop. I woke up with a sore throat today, so I came to see Dr. Xiaoning to get some medicine. The medicine she prescribed works. Since Dr. Xiaoning examined your husband last night, he'll definitely get better after taking the medicine."

Bai Yu nodded as she listened, and the worry on her face eased a little with the words of her aunts.

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.
