Chapter 199: Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own.
Xu Nuo saw Shi Ning closing his eyes in pain, his brows furrowed, and his lips slightly pursed, as if he was in real pain.
She put down the clothes in her hand, walked up to him immediately, and asked with concern: "What's going on? Let me see."
Shi Ning slowly opened his eyes. As expected, his right eye was red, with tears in the corners. Xu Nuo tiptoed slightly, got close to his face, and carefully examined his fundus.
Her fingers gently pried open his eyelids, searching intently for the foreign object.
The two were so close that their breaths almost intertwined, and from a distance, the scene seemed particularly ambiguous.
At this moment, Zhang Man was standing not far away, with a meaningful smile on her lips.
She turned her head and whispered to the man beside her: "Quick, take a picture of this scene."
The man nodded, quickly raised his camera and pointed it at Xu Nuo and Shi Ning.
The shutter sounded with a "click". Although the mall was noisy, the sound was particularly clear to Shi Ning.
The shutter sound just now once again confirmed his guess that the man holding the camera was following him and Xu Nuo and taking pictures secretly.
He thought to himself: "Who is that man? Was he sent by Lu Chen?"
He recalled that during the previous meal, Lu Chen looked at him with wariness, even a hint of hostility, and showed aggression from time to time.
If Xu Nuo had not been there at the time, Shi Ning had no doubt that Lu Chen would have rushed up and beaten him up without hesitation.
Xu Nuo didn't notice any of this. She was still concentrating on checking Shi Ning's eyes and whispered, "It seems like there's nothing there. Did you rub it too hard?"
Shi Ning collected his thoughts, forced a smile, and replied: "Maybe, I feel much better now, thank you."
Xu Nuo took a step back and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay."
Shi Ning nodded, turned his body and glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye.
The other party was already waiting with the camera, seemingly ready to keep taking pictures.
Shi Ning curled the corners of his mouth, and a feeling of revenge surged up in his heart.
After paying the money, Shi Ning picked up the packed clothes and walked out of the mall with Xu Nuo.
When passing by a cosmetics counter, his eyes fell on the counter displaying lipsticks and his steps paused slightly.
He walked up, smiled and said to the salesperson, "Please let me see this lipstick."
The salesperson handed over an exquisite lipstick. Shi Ning took it, looked at it carefully, then turned around and handed it to Xu Nuo beside her, saying in a gentle tone: "Take a look, do you like this color?"
Snap——
After a sound, the scene was successfully frozen.
Xu Nuo politely took the lipstick and looked at it, then smiled and shook her head, returning the lipstick to him: "I don't want it, thank you. You know my jealous king, if he knew, he would be furious."
Hearing this, Shi Ning chuckled and did not force her. Instead, he turned to the salesperson and said, "Then please pack it for me and I'll give it to my aunt."
Xu Nuo saw that Shi Ning bought so many things for his aunt and spent a lot of money without feeling sorry at all.
She was very curious: "You and your aunt have a good relationship. But, the New Year is coming soon, don't you plan to give your mother a gift?"
When the word "mother" was mentioned, Shi Ning's eyes instantly dimmed, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.
He lowered his head slightly, his voice a little hoarse: "My parents died when I was very young. My father's relatives were unwilling to take me in, so I have been living with my aunt. She treats me as her own son. To me, she is my mother, even closer than my mother."
When Xu Nuo heard this, his heart tightened, realizing that he had inadvertently touched Shi Ning's pain.
She quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask these questions..."
Seeing how nervous she was, Shi Ning smiled brightly and comforted her, "It's okay, it's been a long time, it's not so painful to talk about it now."
"That's good." Xu Nuo said softly.
"Let's go and take a walk?"
Xu Nuo looked at the time and said softly, "It's getting late. I have to go back to school."
Shi Ning nodded, and the two walked out of the mall together.
After taking a few steps, Shi Ning suddenly slipped, lost his balance, and fell heavily to the ground.
He groaned, frowned, and covered his ankle tightly with his hands. It was obvious that he had sprained it.
"What happened to you today?" Although he had just fallen hard, Xu Nuo couldn't help laughing. "It seems that your luck today is really bad. First it was your eye, and now it's your ankle. Is the injury serious? Let me take a look."
As she spoke, she squatted down and checked Shi Ning's injuries with concern.
"Yes, I'm sorry... I made you laugh. Xu Nuo, am I quite worse than Lu Chen?" Shi Ning suddenly asked.
Xu Nuo curled his lips and said, "It's not that I'm bad, it's just that I'm not as steady as him."
When she mentioned Lu Chen, her eyes were filled with smiles: "However, there are very few people like him who are stable and mature at his age."
"Am I not stable?" Shi Ning frowned, "I think I'm fine."
Xu Nuo raised his head and smiled: "You? You are just a little brat in my eyes. Although you are one year older than me, I always treat you as my younger brother."
The original body was eighteen years old, but she is not eighteen years old!
In the 21st century, she is only two or three years younger than Lu Chen.
Therefore, she and Lu Chen have more resonance.
"Brother?" Shi Ning snorted reluctantly when he heard that. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was indeed a younger brother.
Xu Nuo gently held his ankle and turned it twice, feeling that his ankle was slightly dislocated.
Fortunately, she had some experience and helped him reset it manually.
Shi Ning uttered a muffled groan.
"It's nothing serious, but you need to take care of it for a few days. Rub it with some safflower oil when you get home, and it will heal quickly."
"Okay, got it." Shi Ning agreed.
The fall just now was just for show, but I didn't expect that I would fall so hard.
This tactic of killing one thousand enemies but injuring eight hundred of your own people can no longer be used.
Regret!
Shi Ning really regretted it!
My ankle really hurts...
Xu Nuo was about to stand up when she heard Shi Ning gasp. She looked up at him and saw that his eyes were a little red.
"You're not crying, are you?"
Shi Ning denied it. He suddenly moved closer to Xu Nuo and said, "Look carefully, am I crying? No! It hurts, but I'm not crying!"
At the moment when the two people suddenly got closer, their figures briefly overlapped. From a certain angle, it seemed as if Xu Nuo lowered his head and gently kissed Shi Ning.
"Take a picture quickly!" Zhang Man shouted excitedly in a low voice not far away.
The man quickly pressed the shutter button, and the camera successfully captured this ambiguous scene.
A smug smile appeared on Zhang Man's lips. She didn't expect to have such a gain today.
This photo will undoubtedly become her "trump card".
She was secretly delighted. With this photo, she would have something good to look forward to.
Because she had the leverage over Xu Nuo.
She was feeling smug when Xu Nuo's sharp eyes suddenly swept towards her.
Zhang Man shuddered instantly and quickly lowered her head, trying to avoid the other person's gaze.
