Xia Mian was so disturbed by his own heartbeat that he didn't know when he fell asleep. He just felt that he hadn't slept for a while when he heard movement in the yard.

My aunt has already gotten up.

When I opened my eyes, I found that she was covered tightly with a towel over her eyes to block out the light.

Xiao Feng and Qiang Qiang beside him had similar looks, but Ning Shaobai's position was already empty.

Coming down from the roof, Auntie saw Xia Mian, looking so sleepy she couldn't open her eyes. She smiled and said, "You said you were accompanying Dr. Ning, but you actually took a nap up there, didn't you?"

Xia Mian touched his nose and asked, "Where's Doctor Ning?"

"I came down in the middle of the night, and he's still asleep. Speak softly, don't wake him up, and let him rest."

"Well," Xia Mian said, "I'll go back and pack my luggage first."

"Okay," said the aunt, "I'll ask Brother Chuan to bring the black fungus to you later."

Ning Shaobai didn't have much vacation time, and he stayed in Ming City for two days to accompany his grandparents, so they would only stay here for one day, and they would set off tomorrow.

The summer hibernation was very regular throughout the whole day, not just because of the aftereffects of last night, but mainly because they had to pack their luggage, so the two of them had no time to be alone at all.

When they heard that Xia Mian and Xiao Feng were going back to Yan City, other relatives and friends of the Xia family came to see them off, bringing some wild delicacies or local specialties.

I didn't know when he would be back this time, so we sat down and chatted for a long time without realizing it. There was a constant stream of people coming to Xia Mian's house all day long.

Because Ning Shaobai drove the car, her aunt asked her to take everything she could carry. By the evening, she had packed four large bags.

After that, I cleaned the house again. It was already early morning when everything was done. I was so tired from hibernation that I fell asleep immediately.

The next day, Xiao Feng was woken up at dawn. He was in good spirits because he knew he was leaving today. He and Qiangqiang were reluctant to leave. The two children slept together last night, and now the room was clean and they were holding Ning Shaobai's hand, waiting for summer sleep.

Xia Mian looked at Ning Shaobai's smiling face and couldn't help but glare at him. Ning Shaobai reached out and pulled her ahoge.

After eating the dumplings made by my second sister-in-law Hongjuan, the group was finally ready to set off.

Ning Shaobai didn't know what he was thinking. He drove here by himself, but when he left, he specially found a driver.

When Xia Mian saw Xiao Liu, she was stunned for a moment, "Why is Brother Xiao Liu here?"

Ning Shaobai paused subtly and said, "I called him here. I haven't had enough rest these past two days, and I feel dizzy. I'm worried about the danger of driving."

Xia Mian thought he was talking about the aftermath of the bet, and her cheeks became hot. She didn't ask any further questions, and thus missed the smile in Ning Shaobai's eyes.

The luggage was loaded into the trunk and the three of them sat in the back seat. Xiao Feng was supposed to sit in the middle, but he leaned against the car window and said goodbye to Qiangqiang and the other person reluctantly.

Parting is always sad. In the end, Xia Hai forcibly carried Qiangqiang away, and the car started on the road.

Xiao Feng leaned listlessly in Xia Mian's arms, feeling a little depressed.

It was Ning Shaobai who spoke up again, "Your brother Chenchen misses you too. I'll go back and take you two to swim and play on the water slide."

"Water slide?" Xiao Feng's attention was diverted.

Xia Mian laughed, "It's just like the mud slide your brother Qiangqiang plays on, but it's on water. Xiaofeng can play on it too."

Xiao Feng seemed to recall the image of Qiangqiang, and suddenly giggled, her mood finally improved, "Brother Chenchen."

He also misses Brother Chenchen.

To get from the county town to the national highway, one has to go through a bumpy dirt road. The car was shaking violently, and Xia Mian would lean on Ning Shaobai from time to time.

This guy didn't hide. When she leaned over, he naturally held her shoulders to steady her body.

Xia Mian grabbed the handle on the roof and tried to sit up straight.

Ning Shaobai looked at her with amusement, then picked up Xiao Feng who was sitting next to him and placed him between the two of them.

He glanced at Xiao Liu in front of him and mouthed to Xia Mian: Keep your distance.

aestivation:……

Although she also thought so, why did Ning Shaobai's actions make her rebellious heart stir? !

Ning Shaobai was still smiling at her, as if he was very proud of what he had done.

Xia Mian was so angry that she reached out and hit him.

Ning Shaobai reached out and pulled her aho-hair.

The two were joking around silently when the car suddenly braked.

Xia Mian immediately went to protect Xiao Feng who was sitting in the middle. Ning Shaobai stretched out his long arms and pressed them both down on their seats, but his own shoulder hit the seat in front of him.

Xia Mian's face changed, and he quickly leaned over to look at him, "Are you okay?"

Ning Shaobai rubbed his shoulders and said, "It's okay."

"Damn, this woman is crazy!" The driver, Xiao Liu, cursed reflexively, then quickly turned around to apologize, "Sorry, Mr. Ning, there was a woman suddenly rushing out from the front."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman almost pounced on him and knocked on the car window rapidly.

It turned out to be Ma Lili.

Ning Shaobai also recognized her and turned back to confirm with Xia Mian, "Is she the one who thinks she has a bad life and says she can be better than you?"

Xia Mian nodded. She had also told Ning Shaobai about Ma Lili's affairs. She especially thought those words that Ma Lili used to diss her were quite funny, and she told them to Ning Shaobai as a joke.

When Ma Lili blocked his way the day before yesterday, Ning Shaobai probably guessed who she was, but he just didn't want to pay attention to her. He didn't expect that she would dare to pester him.

Ning Shaobai narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly, "See what she is going to do."

Xia Mian looked over his shoulder, picked up the frightened Xiao Feng, and was a little angry. This person was never willing to work hard and always wanted to take shortcuts. Xia Mian could guess what she wanted to do.

Xiao Liu lowered the car window. Ma Lili was still wearing the same clothes she had worn the day before. She was holding a large, worn bag in her arms. Her face was a little dirty, as if she had put on makeup, making her look extremely miserable. She opened her mouth and said, "Doctor Ning, please help me!"

Ning Shaobai said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't know you and I can't save you. Please move aside."

However, Ma Lili didn't listen to him at all, and kept talking like a machine gun, "Hao Xufeng will definitely not let me go if you leave!"

"And my parents, they're blood-sucking worms. They'll sell me to Hao Xufeng themselves. Hao Xufeng has already tortured his wife to death..."

"I want to live well. I want to break free from this fate of being manipulated by everyone. Please, you are the only one who can save me. I will work like a slave to repay you in the future. As long as you take me away from here!"

Xia Mian didn't know how to complain about her. Only Ning Shaobai could save her, so he had to save her? What kind of bandit logic was this? Then why didn't she go to the county magistrate? The county magistrate could also save her!

But Ning Shaobai asked, "How do you want me to save you?"

When Ma Lili heard that there was a chance, her eyes lit up, "I won't bother you, as long as you take me away from here."

Ning Shaobai said, "So you just lack an opportunity to leave here, right?"

Ma Lili nodded vigorously, "Yes, just give me a chance, I will definitely show you my achievements!"

Xia Mian rolled her eyes. What did it mean to give Ning Shaobai an opportunity? Why should she give it to Ning Shaobai?

Ning Shaobai remained noncommittal and said to Xiao Liu, "Let her get in the car."

Xia Mian looked at Ning Shaobai in confusion. This was not his style.

Xiao Liu didn't ask any more questions and opened the passenger door. Ma Lili immediately got in the car excitedly. "Thank you, Dr. Ning!"

All the coldness in the past was gone, and her face was almost smiling, as if she could already see her future soaring to the sky.

At first, she wanted to be polite and just say a few words of thanks. But as the car started to run smoothly on the highway, Ma Lili became visibly excited and tried to get to know Ning Shaobai better. "Doctor Ning, you are a doctor. What should I call you?"

Ning Shaobai ignored her completely, but she still managed to happily talk to herself, "Which hospital are you working in in Yan City? What a coincidence! I'm a nurse. I decided to find a job in a hospital as soon as I get to the place. Maybe we can even be colleagues."

Xia Mian rolled her eyes and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Didn't you quit your job as a nurse a long time ago? You're an actor now, right?"

"By the way, you've already started acting, right? What's the director going to do if you run away halfway?"

Ma Lili hurriedly looked at Ning Shaobai and explained, "I didn't want to be an actor at all. Yes, Hao Xufeng fell in love with me when I was walking on the street..." When she said this, her face turned slightly red, as if she was embarrassed by such indirect praise.

"He kept coming to the county hospital to block me, so I had no choice but to resign."

"I had no other choice. I thought that since I was on the set, there would be more people there, so I could avoid him a little bit."

"But I discovered that the director wasn't a good person either. He was in cahoots with Hao Xufeng, so I ran away..."

She turned around and looked at Ning Shaobai and said, "I actually still like to be a nurse. After all, I got the first place in the medical school. If I don't become a nurse, all my previous studies will be wasted."

I am too tired to complain about summer sleep.

Ning Shaobai touched her head and said to Ma Lili rudely, "Please be quiet. I'm carsick and want to have a good rest."

Ma Lili's expression froze, and she turned away awkwardly, not daring to speak anymore.

Xia Mian quietly gave Ning Shaobai a thumbs up, and Ning Shaobai narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Feng was indeed a little carsick, and she hadn't slept well for two consecutive days during summer sleep. After holding the child for a while, she felt sleepy too.

Xia Mian vaguely noticed that someone next to her took Xiao Feng away. Knowing that it was Ning Shaobai, she found a comfortable position and fell asleep peacefully.

She regained consciousness when she was startled by a movement above her head; someone was fiddling with her hair.

Xia Mian opened her eyes and saw Xiao Feng. He was stretching out his little hand to carefully push away the hair that was blocking her face.

Seeing her wake up, the child smiled and said, "Auntie, Mei Chaofeng."

The Legend of the Condor Heroes is very popular recently. Mei Chaofeng is portrayed with disheveled hair, and people call anyone with messy hair Mei Chaofeng.

Xia Mian touched it, and maybe in order to sleep comfortably, she untied her ponytail in a daze. After sleeping all the way, her hair was definitely messy.

Ning Shaobai's voice sounded above my head, "Wake up when you wake up. It's almost time. Wake up from your nap."

Xia Mian was startled and found herself leaning on Ning Shaobai's shoulder. It's not quite right to say shoulder, it's almost half of his arms, Xiao Feng occupied half and she occupied the other half.

No wonder I slept so comfortably...

Xia Mian sat up in a hurry and heard Ning Shaobai hiss softly.

"What's wrong?" Xia Mian asked.

"Arm cramp."

Xia Mian hurriedly grabbed his wrist to help him straighten it and massage it. As she was massaging, she saw Ning Shaobai laughing and realized that he was teasing her again.

Xia Mian threw his hand away and said angrily, "Doctor Ning, didn't you say you should restrain yourself? Why are you so unconscious?"

Ning Shaobai smiled and said, "I see that you have restrained yourself quite well, so I don't think I need it."

"Thank you for your consideration, benefactor. I feel much more relaxed now."

Xia Mian was furious. How could there be such a sinister person?

She raised her hand to hit his arm that was stretched out again, and said unhappily, "What for?"

Ning Shaobai looked at her head and smiled, "Aren't you going to tie your hair up, Mei Chaofeng?"

Xiao Feng suddenly burst into giggles.

Xia Mian only then noticed that he had a colorful hairband on his wrist. It was hers...

Xia Mian no longer wanted to think about why her hairband was on Ning Shaobai's arm. She touched her frizzy hair and hurriedly looked for a comb to comb it.

Seeing her flustered look, Ning Shaobai teased her, "Do you want my help?"

Xia Mian said angrily, "Stay away from me! Also, turn around and don't look at me!"

Ning Shaobai laughed loudly.

Ma Lili, who was standing in front, suddenly turned around and said enviously, "Doctor Ning, you have such a good temper."

"Xia Mian is really lucky to meet someone like you, Doctor Ning."

Damn, I forgot this thing existed.

Ma Lili was still sighing, "If I had half the luck of Xia Xian, I wouldn't be like this now."

The car slowed down, and Xiao Liu said, "Mr. Ning, we've arrived at the train station."

"Stop at the entrance of the ticket hall." Ning Shaobai said.

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ma Lili and continued driving forward for a while before stopping the car.

Ning Shaobai said to Ma Lili, "Okay, get out of the car."

"Okay!" Ma Lili was very excited. She quickly took her luggage and got out of the car, fearing that they would leave her behind.

However, after she got out of the car, she found that the three people in the back seat, including the driver, were motionless.

"Doctor Ning?"

The back window rolled down, and Ning Shaobai said calmly, "That's the ticket office. Miss Ma, who ranked first in medical school, should be able to read."

He paused at this point and said, "Miss Ma is a girl who is fighting against fate after all. She is very capable. I was just joking."

"Then I wish Miss Ma a bright future in advance." Then he turned to Xiao Liu and said, "Let's go."

Ma Lili realized something was wrong and panicked. She quickly leaned against the car window and asked, "Doctor Ning, what do you mean? Aren't you going with me?"

This made Xiao Liu laugh. "Miss, Mr. Ning and his friends are going to Yan City, and they've already bought their tickets. Why should they go with you?"

Ma Lili asked incredulously, "What should I do if you leave me here?"

Ning Shaobai looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you say you wouldn't bother me and just asked me to take you out of Mingxi County?"

Ma Lili choked, she was right.

Ning Shaobai seemed to know what she wanted to say and continued to block her mouth, "Don't worry, Hao Xufeng can't catch up here."

"Miss Ma, you are someone who can soar to great heights if given the opportunity. This is the beginning of your new life. I think with your top score in medical school, you should be able to find a job as a nurse soon. Perhaps when we meet again, you will be an outstanding person."

Seeing Ning Shaobai about to roll up the car window, Ma Lili no longer cared about pretending, "You, you can't leave me here. This is my first time traveling far away. I didn't even buy a ticket. Where do you want me to go?"

Ning Shaobai frowned, "Miss Ma, are you kidding me? Someone who only needs opportunities doesn't even have a plan for where to go?"

"You can easily get a job at a big hospital. Buying a train ticket can't be any harder than finding a job."

"You mean opportunity when someone paves the way for you?"

"There might be such an opportunity," Ning Shaobai said in a slightly cold voice. "You can wait here. There are many pickpockets, kidnappers, and traffickers of women and children at the train station. If you stand up for yourself a few more times, you might meet someone who is willing to do all this for you."

Ma Lili was so blocked that she couldn't utter a word.

Xia Mian finally understood why Ning Shaobai brought Ma Lili with him. It turned out that he wanted to vent his anger for her.

Ning Shaobai ignored Ma Lili's hands on the window and raised the window without hesitation. Ma Lili had to let go for fear of getting her hands pinched.

Before the car window closed, I heard the heartless man say, "If Miss Ma really can't even buy a train ticket, then go to the police station and ask them to take you back. You can also sue Hao Xufeng for robbery and they will be able to save you."

Then he said to Xiao Liu, "If she tries to stop the car, just hit her. If she breaks a bone or something, just take her to the hospital. I'll pay for the medical expenses."

"Okay!" Xiao Liu was obviously annoyed with her. Upon hearing that, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and turned around. Ma Lili didn't dare to take the risk and was so scared that she stood several steps away from the car.

Looking at Ma Lili's embarrassed appearance in the rearview mirror, Xia Mian looked at Ning Shaobai and laughed.

Ning Shaobai touched her head and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Xia Mian smiled, "I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect Dr. Ning would care about such a small matter."

This vengeful nature is really likable.

Ning Shaobai glanced at her and smiled, "How can the matter of a benefactor be a trivial matter?"

Xia Mian was amused by him, then turned around to look at Ma Lili who was still in a daze and said, "Is she okay?"

"Don't worry, I've warned her there are a lot of bad guys. She's not stupid, on the contrary, she's very vigilant." Ning Shaobai said, "Besides, she's in her twenties, she wouldn't be too incapable of buying a ticket from Ming City back to Mingxi County, right?"

Xia Mian thought about it and it made sense. She had even told her that there was no way to find the police station. With Ma Lili's intelligence enough to fool Xia Chuan, there was really nothing to worry about.

After the external conflicts were resolved by a united front, the next problem would be their own.

After checking in their luggage and the driver Xiao Liu left, only the three of them were left. Xia Mian began to practice the principle of "staying away from Ning Shaobai".

Except when checking tickets and entering the station, she and Xiao Feng were protected by Ning Shaobai in front of them. After entering the station, Xia Mian immediately kept a distance of at least one meter from Ning Shaobai.

It’s not that Xia Mian is being pretentious, but Ning Shaobai is too irritating.

The sleeper car was sparsely populated, and the platform was relatively empty. Xia Mian was walking with Xiao Feng in her arms when she suddenly heard Ning Shaobai say, "Be careful!"

Before Xia Mian could react to what was happening, she felt someone holding her shoulders. Her center of gravity suddenly shifted, and she staggered uncontrollably to the side and leaned on Ning Shaobai.

She was startled, "What's wrong?"

But Ning Shaobai stared at something in front of him with a serious face and said, "Be careful, don't trip."

Xia Mian followed his gaze and looked at the amygdala on the ground, and laughed angrily, "Doctor Ning, do you think I would be tripped by it? I think you are more dangerous than it!"

She reached out and pushed him away at arm's length, "Didn't you tell me to stay away from you?"

Ning Shaobai easily pressed her hand down, "Only on the premise of ensuring the safety of your benefactor."

"Besides," he said with a sly smile, "it's enough for you to stay away from me. It's unnecessary for me to stay away from you."

Xia Mian was so angry that she laughed, "You are always right."

Ning Shaobai said sincerely, "It's all thanks to my benefactor's good teachings. All the principles belong to us."

"Who's talking to you or us!" Xia Mian got into the car angrily.

There was still no one in the box, and Ning Shaobai was still busy running around like last time. However, Xia Mian became more and more angry as she looked at his back.

This guy even asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

Xia Mian was so angry that she tripped him when he came over, then pretended to help him up, "Doctor Ning, be careful!"

Her original intention was to expose Ning Shaobai's hypocritical scheming, but she didn't expect that he would fall down under her force.

The 1.80-meter-tall man is able to show how a delicate and weak person can be easily pulled down.

Xia Mian almost hit the wall behind her, but was protected by Ning Shaobai, and she was almost held in his arms.

But this person took advantage of her and acted ungratefully, looking at her and smiling, "Benefactor, didn't you do well before? Please continue to restrain yourself, you can do it, come on!"

Xia Mian was so angry that he said, "Why should I restrain myself?!"

Ning Shaobai's eyes were filled with affection, and he looked at her softly, "Because you won! Isn't it normal for people with stronger self-control to restrain themselves?"

Xia Mian instantly thought of the bet on the rooftop, and her cheeks flushed red.

I got even angrier when I realized what was happening. Damn, how did this guy manage to make people feel like losing was better?

She lost too, okay? Why should she endure this torture?

Xiao Feng crawled over from the other side of the bed and asked worriedly, "Auntie?"

Ning Shaobai patted his head and said, "Auntie is fine, she just needs to exercise some self-control."

At this point he smiled again, "Do you want me to help you?"

Xia Mian said angrily, "Stay away from me!"

The sound of someone selling ice cream came from outside the window. Ning Shaobai paused and looked at Xia Mian first, with a tender smile in his eyes.

Xia Mian suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "I don't want to eat it!"

Ning Shaobai suddenly laughed, his eyes almost squinting, and rubbed Xiaofeng's head and said, "Then Xiaofeng and I will eat."

As he said that, he stuck his head out and bought two ice creams.

He handed one to Xiao Feng and peeled the other for himself.

Xia Mian fell on the bed with her face covered, deciding to out of sight, out of mind.

After a while, the bed beside me sank and my face felt cold.

Xia Mian opened his eyes and saw an ice cream cone in front of him. "Eat it quickly, or it will melt."

Seeing that Xia Mian was angry and didn't intend to answer, Ning Shaobai chuckled, "Or maybe you like to eat melted food?"

He said this and waved the back of his hand in front of her.

Xia Mian suddenly sat up, grabbed the ice cream, took a bite, and said angrily, "Why are you so annoying! Stay away!"

"By the way, why did your car break down so quickly? I could have been driving!"

Thinking about having to spend another day and night on the train with him, Xia Mian suddenly felt that it was not a good thing for him to come and pick her up.

My heart is ready to explode at any time, either because I'm angry or because I'm teased. This man is so bad.

Ning Shaobai looked at the little girl's rosy cheeks, lowered his eyelids, and hid the smile in his eyes.

In my heart, I removed the knife from Rong Xin's head and considered it as his atonement.

The author has something to say: Ning Shaobai: Whoever loses does not need to restrain himself

Summer Sleep: I lost too

Ning Shaobai: No, I lost first

Xia Mian: Get out of my way!
