Chapter 255 Face-to-face provocation
"Oh, sorry." Xia Nan smiled, turned around and puffed out a cigarette to the other side.
The unpleasant smell of smoke aroused Xu Nuo's great disgust.
She poured herself a glass of water and said, "I thought reporters were all well-educated people, but it seems I was wrong."
Xia Nan raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Nuo with a half-smile: "I used to think that doctors were also very qualified people, but it seems that I was wrong."
Xu Nuo looked at Xia Nan calmly, with a faint smile on his lips: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but every word was clear, "Don't treat others as fools. Some things can be fooled for a while, but not forever."
Bai Qiuning and Liao Hong looked at each other, confusion written all over their faces.
Liao Hong couldn't help but move closer to Xu Nuo and asked in a low voice: "Xu Nuo, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Nuo shook his head slightly, his eyes still fixed on Xia Nan: "You don't need to know."
She paused and added meaningfully, "Whoever says it will know."
Xia Nan's face turned a little ugly. He snorted coldly from his nose but didn't say anything else.
There was a teapot on the table. She picked it up and poured water into the cup in front of her.
Seeing that she had nothing to say, Xu Nuo turned around and talked to Liao Hong.
When Xia Nan was pouring water, her hand touched the teapot and got scalded. Her eyes suddenly jumped and she started to think bad things.
The tea in the teapot is freshly brewed and steaming hot.
She pretended to be scalded by the teapot and screamed, and the teapot slammed heavily on the table, splashing the scalding tea everywhere.
"Be careful!" Bai Qiuning subconsciously dodged back.
Xu Nuo reacted very quickly, but still failed to avoid it completely. Some tea still spilled on her arms and clothes, and her fair skin immediately showed glaring red marks.
She frowned slightly, but didn't even utter a cry of pain. She just calmly shook off the wet corners of her clothes.
"Ouch, sorry, sorry! My hand slipped..." Xia Nan apologized repeatedly, her face full of panic, but a hint of satisfaction in her eyes flashed.
She raised her scalded fingers and said, "I...I didn't mean to do that. The water was too hot..."
Liao Hong glared at Xia Nan in dissatisfaction: "Why are you so careless! We almost got burned by you."
After complaining to her, Liao Hong helped her up and promised: "Come on, let's go to the kitchen and rinse it with cold water. Don't let it get blisters."
Xu Nuo raised his eyes and looked at Xia Nan. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, but his tone was calm and indifferent: "This little burn is nothing."
In the kitchen, the chef saw the red burns on Xu Nuo's hands and quickly turned on the faucet for her to rinse.
Xu Nuo thanked her and put her hands under the tap to rinse. The cold water washed over her slightly red skin. Fortunately, she avoided most of the tea and only splashed a small part, which was not serious.
Liao Hong stood aside, muttering indignantly: "I have long disliked that Xia Nan! How can someone who hangs out with someone like Li Cuiying be a good person?"
"Xia Nan and Li Cuiying are good?"
Seeing Xu Nuo's puzzled look, she leaned in and explained, "You don't know, Xia Nan has been very close to Li Cuiying recently, taking her out to eat, drink and have fun all day, and even gave her a lot of good things."
"How did the two of them get together?"
Liao Hong curled her lips: "Birds of a feather flock together. Although I don't have a good reputation in the compound, Li Cuiying is more disliked than me! Few people in the whole compound like her. Now, Xia Nan is as close to her as a real sister..."
Xu Nuo turned off the faucet and wiped his hands thoughtfully.
Drops of water dripped down her slender fingers, splashing tiny water droplets in the sink.
"Li Cuiying..." Xu Nuo pondered, "Although she is very jealous and impulsive, she would not be able to think of a plan like poisoning. Most of the time, she is just making trouble for you in public. Even if she wants to retaliate, you can't get to the bottom of it... It's likely that someone gave her a bad idea behind the scenes."
Liao Hong's eyes lit up: "You mean... Xia Nan?"
Xia Nan has no bottom line in doing things, as can be seen from the fact that she stole Lin Ya's boyfriend at the social gathering.
She and Li Cuiying would not be mixed up for no reason. Liao Hong was right. The two of them definitely had similar tastes.
Xu Nuo thought again of what happened in the hospital in the past two days, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind: Could this also be related to Xia Nan?
After coming out of the kitchen, she and Liao Hong returned to the dining table.
Bai Qiuning immediately asked with concern: "Xu Nuo, is your hand okay?"
Xu Nuo stretched out his hand to show her his red skin and smiled, "It's okay. It will be better after rinsing. As long as there are no blisters, it's fine."
Seeing this, Xia Nan's eyes flashed with a smug smile.
You deserve it!
It feels so good!
At this time, the waiter brought the steaming noodles.
The egg and shredded pork noodles that Xu Nuo ordered exuded an enticing aroma. She gently stirred the noodles with chopsticks to let the heat dissipate.
After the noodles cooled down a little, she slowly began to enjoy them.
Bai Qiu Ning and Liao Hong ordered noodles together, and now both of their noodles have arrived.
The two of them ate quickly, and as soon as the noodles cooled a little, they gobbled them up in no time.
Xia Nan’s noodles were served a little later than Xu Nuo and others’ noodles.
When Xu Nuo had finished half a bowl, Xia Nan's noodles had just been served.
By the time Xia Nan was halfway through eating, Xu Nuo had already put down his chopsticks.
When you eat noodles at this noodle shop, you can drink the noodle soup for free.
Xu Nuo said, waving to the waiter: "Please give me a bowl of noodle soup, hot. I like it hot."
The waiter quickly brought a large bowl of boiling noodle soup. Bai Qiuning and Liao Hong looked at her in surprise: "How can you drink so much?"
Xu Nuo smiled, carefully tasted it twice and put down the spoon: "Forget it, I won't drink it, this soup is not delicious."
She pretended to stand up and prepare to leave.
"Don't worry, drink slowly." Bai Qiuning advised, "We don't have anything to do, we'll wait for you."
"What's so good about a bowl of noodle soup? It just quenches your thirst," said Liao Hong.
Xu Nuo shook his head: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest."
"If that's the case, let's go."
Bai Qiuning and Liao Hong stood up and walked out from their seats first. Xu Nuo then stood up. Before leaving, her shoulder bag "accidentally" brushed against the bowl of boiling hot noodle soup.
With a "splash" sound, the soup bowl overturned and the boiling noodle soup instantly spread all over the table.
"Ah!" Xia Nan screamed and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The boiling hot soup splashed directly onto her pants, and her thighs felt instantly burning.
“Ahhhhh—” She gasped in pain, tears instantly welling up in her eyes, “Quick, give me some cold water… It’s scalding me.”
Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly brought a basin of cold water and scooped it up and poured it on the scalded part of her body.
Xu Nuo stood there, looking at Xia Nan's embarrassed appearance, and the corners of her mouth curved up almost imperceptibly: "Oh, I was so careless." There was just the right amount of apology in her voice, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
