When Bai Yu and his wife ran to Ning Xiyue breathlessly, the four of them had already retracted their little expressions and returned to their normal state. They all blinked tacitly, stopped talking about the previous topic, and didn't even speak.
Ning Xiyue's expression was indifferent, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She looked at Bai Yu who ran over and pulled her arm. She did not struggle, and her tone was intimate but also a little distant and polite:
"Sister Bai, is there anything else? It's getting late, and we're in a hurry to go back to bed. I think we're going to get dark circles under our eyes after all this busy work."
Emphasize the tone of the two words "Sister Bai".
Bai Yu heard it, and a trace of self-blame and panic appeared on his face:
"Xiyue, I was wrong today. I acted too presumptuously. You can beat me and scold me however you want. I don't expect you to forgive me. I just hope it won't affect the relationship between you and Xiaoji. He really cares about you."
"Um."
Bai Yu said so much, but Ning Xiyue just hummed lightly, looking unmoved and indifferent.
After waiting for a while, he muttered softly, "There's no need to take out your anger on outsiders and wrong your own people."
She now had only one idea, which was to make these two people nervous for a while before testing their limits.
It’s no wonder that her second brother said that the couple were not good people. Even she herself was wondering what Bai Yu’s original purpose was in coming to her, and whether it was not very pure.
Perhaps letting her be the extra-staff doctor in the coal mine team was also planned for her best friend, and there was a selfish motive involved.
She was not angry about saving people. Today's situation was special and there was not much time to stand and explain. The two of them also told her on the way. If she were in their place, it might also be an option.
She was just worried that Bai Yu was too selfish, and might use her to do something bad for other things in the future, which would hurt people's feelings. She didn't want these people to affect the relationship between her and Comrade Ji.
So she had to be more indifferent to the two of them. It would be best if they had no bad intentions, but if they did, she would make them give up.
Bai Yu felt Ning Xiyue's "cold violence" and felt very uncomfortable. She hesitantly called out, "Xiyue..."
"Xiyue..."
When Zhou Cheng opened his mouth to say a few words on behalf of his wife, Ning Qingyuan couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him.
"Please don't call me sister. You all call yourselves my brother Ji's cousin and friend. My sister is also sincere to you. You came back and told me about it happily."
There was no one in the wilderness, so he was not afraid of onlookers. Ning Qingyuan was not polite at all. He had wanted to start scolding for a long time, and if not now, when would he do it? Don't think that Brother Ji was far away and could not care about it, he was still here.
He kept talking, and his voice suddenly rose to a high pitch when he said this.
"Who knew something like this would happen tonight? You already know the identity of the person you asked my sister to save, even without me telling you. You caught my sister doing something so dangerous, and you're trying to take advantage of her. Don't you feel guilty about it?
I must write to Brother Ji to ask, are you enemies or relatives? Even strangers and friends wouldn't be so deceitful. Are you worthy of being my cousin and friend? It's really unlucky to know you, bah."
Ning Qingyuan kept chattering, brushing off the dust on his body as if he was brushing off something dirty, and then spitting at the couple's feet like the villagers in the countryside who had just finished a quarrel. He looked at them with disgust on his face, and then put his hands on his hips in anger.
"Don't cheat my sister again, or I'll scold you every time I see you. What the hell is that?"
Ning Xiyue glanced at her second brother sideways. He had learned all the essential moves of the aunts' quarrels, and his words were also good. He was simply her mouthpiece. If she hadn't been concerned about the identities of the two people in front of her, she would even want to clap and cheer.
Yu Zhiyu looked at Ning Qingyuan with admiration. It would be great if he had such a good mouth. He had to learn from Qingyuan.
Chen Yechu's body trembled. She was almost the one being scolded. She had to apologize to Xiyue and be nicer to her in the future. She also had to think twice before doing anything and consider everything carefully.
The couple who were scolded were both intellectuals and leaders in the city. They had never heard anyone scold them in person like this, but what they were scolding was true.
They were powerless to refute, knowing they were in the wrong and not daring to refute. Ning Qingyuan's scolding made them unable to raise their heads, and they lowered their heads like frost-bitten eggplants.
Bai Yu secretly wiped away her tears. For the first time, the favored child of heaven was hit so hard that she was completely shattered. After hearing what Ning Qingyuan said, she felt more and more guilty. Now she didn't dare to look up at Ning Xiyue, and she didn't know how to tell her cousin.
"sorry."
Zhou Cheng raised his head and bowed solemnly to Ning Xiyue again, then bowed to Ning Qingyuan to apologize, and then looked at the brother and sister sincerely:
"Although we were trying to save someone, what happened today was indeed wrong on my part. I would like to discuss a solution with you. I have a suggestion, and I hope you will listen to it."
Ning Xiyue's attitude softened a little and she nodded: "You go ahead."
Everyone looked at Zhou Cheng quietly, waiting for him to speak.
The drizzle continued to fall, and the rustling sound of the rain became a natural cover. Ning Xiyue moved closer to him and was able to hear clearly what Zhou Cheng said.
"I had a high fever tonight and Baiyu was worried, so she rushed to the Youth League House to ask you to help me. It was dark, raining heavily, and thundering, so your friends were worried, so they came out with me."
Zhou Cheng spoke out the play he had in mind, looked at everyone and said:
"Let's keep this story straight. If anyone asks, just tell them this. As for what happened on the mountain, we didn't know anything about it. It has nothing to do with us. Don't worry about anything else. Leave it to us."
Ning Xiyue noticed Bai Yu standing behind her husband, with her head lowered on his shoulder, secretly looking at her with a pair of timid eyes.
Suddenly, she realized that the strong image of Bai Yu that she had in her mind at the beginning collapsed.
No matter how you look at it now, this cousin seems like someone who has always been spoiled by her family and has had a smooth life without encountering any difficulties. On the surface, she is in her thirties, but in reality, her mental age is probably only seventeen or eighteen years old. She is a lucky woman.
In some ways, calling it the white wintersweet in the cold winter is an overestimation of it. At best, it is just a greenhouse flower.
Ning Xiyue smiled faintly at her, indicating that she noticed she was looking at her, and then nodded in agreement with Zhou Cheng's words: "Just do as you say."
She took out a few pills for treating high fever from the medicine box and handed them over. She then took out a notebook and a pen and wrote a prescription. She passed it over to Zhou Cheng and handed it to Bai Yu who was looking at her expectantly behind him.
"Sister Bai, come to the clinic tomorrow with the prescription and get the medicine to boil. Since you've decided to do this, you have to make it look as realistic as possible and perfect the details."
