Nan Xian closed the door, took out her phone, opened WeChat, and removed He Mingxiao from her blacklist.
She had indeed felt somewhat offended by He Mingxiao's behavior, but what Ding He said quickly calmed her down—
Between being associated with Yu Lin, or even being suspected of creating a fake romance, and being entangled with He Mingxiao even more... she would naturally choose the less harmful option.
"If you have too many lice, you won't feel itchy." This saying may be crude, but the principle is sound. At least He Mingxiao and she were once husband and wife. Even if it's just hype, no one else would dare to say anything. But Yu Lin is someone she would never "get involved" with.
Despite the fact that He Mingxiao's methods today were as troublesome as ever.
After thinking for a moment, she sent a thank you message:
[Xian Shi Kan Hua: Thank you for earlier.]
He Mingxiao replied instantly: [I would prefer you to thank me in person.]
She twitched her lips, rolled her eyes, turned off her phone, and ignored him.
After using the toilet, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror washing her hands, staring blankly at the running water for a while.
She recalled her previous two cycles. The first one ended because the peony cinnabar shattered, and the second one ended because she witnessed Old Man Teng's death. So this time, with so many things happening, and even her leaving the Immortal Village, why hasn't the cycle started again?
What is the connection between the secrets hidden in Buxian Village and the attack on the Cloud Central Hospital?
Nan Xian was immersed in her thoughts when she suddenly felt something strange; a peculiar tingling sensation suddenly rose in her back.
She looked up warily and saw a pair of eyes flash past the ventilation window behind her in the mirror.
Those were a pair of dark green, slanted eyes, mostly hidden by messy black bangs.
Although it was only for a moment, she could still clearly see the ill intent in those eyes.
She was horrified. In an instant, she felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Her mind went blank. She instinctively grabbed the eyebrow trimmer closest to her on the sink and turned to face the window.
"Come out!" she shouted angrily.
Those eyes had vanished, and the window was empty.
Hurried footsteps came from outside the door, followed by Ding He's surprised voice: "Sister, what's wrong?"
Nan Xian stared intently at the window, and only after hearing her voice did her wildly beating heart slowly calm down.
She pressed down on her trembling wrist, took a breath, put down the eyebrow razor, and tried to remain calm: "It's nothing, I just—saw a mouse."
Ding He exclaimed, "Oh dear! How come there are rats in this hospital? Should I go and call someone to deal with them?"
Nan Xian opened the door and shook her head, "It won't bother you, and it's just too much trouble, so let's just leave it alone."
Ding He peeked into the bathroom and nodded upon hearing this, "That's true, we're only staying for two days anyway... By the way, sis, Tan Wei just sent me a few advertising offers, do you want to take a look?"
Nan Xian nodded, and as she turned to close the door, she couldn't help but glance at the window.
There are several exceptionally tall trees in the hospital, said to be a thousand years old. At this moment, the canopy of one of them happens to be visible through the window, swaying gently in the wind.
Nan Xian withdrew her gaze.
Could it be... that I misread it?
