"hiss……"
Xia Yingnuan sat on the edge of the bed, holding her shoulders.
[Host? What's wrong? Is it still painful?] The system was so anxious that it kept circling around Xia Yingnuan.
Ever since she was thrown into this world by the main system, there has been something wrong with her left shoulder blade. At first it was just a little itchy, then it turned into a slight pain, and finally became more and more severe.
However, she didn't notice anything unusual when she looked in the mirror, and she asked the system to perform a full body scan on her, but no problems were found.
The pain was bearable at first, but when I woke up early this morning, it was so painful that even a tough guy like Xia Yingnuan who could withstand the mecha's self-destruction couldn't help but gasp.
This world was of a relatively low level. If it was a problem with the body itself, the system would not be able to fail to detect it. Xia Yingnuan could only guess whether the main system had done something to her soul.
"System, please submit a copy to the main system..."
[Ahhhhh!] Before Xia Yingnuan finished speaking, a scream came from the small system, [Blood!]
"Patta." The ball of light fell to the ground, and there was no movement at all. Even the light became dimmer.
Blood? What blood?
"Bang!"
Her door was knocked open.
"Look, I've finished my test! You have to take me out for some fried food today..." Ning Tiantian was so frightened by the scene before she could finish her words. She took two steps back, then turned around and rushed to the living room crying to find her aunt, crying and shouting, "She's dying! Aunt, come quickly! She's dying!"
That little bastard!
Xia Yingnuan felt something was wrong. The pain in her left arm had gone numb, but her waist felt slightly wet.
She reached out and touched it, and saw blood on her hand. Seeing the obscene expressions of the gangsters, the old lady had a premonition that something was wrong, so while the gangsters were not paying attention, she quickly climbed to the top of the mountain from the side trail.
Halfway up the mountain, the old lady heard a girl's suppressed sobbing. She thought to herself, "As expected," and then quickened her pace up the mountain.
There were also lights next to the pavilion on the mountain. When the old lady got closer and saw the girl's appearance clearly, she couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
Having said this, the old lady paused. She rocked in the rocking chair and looked at the lamp above her head, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. She did not tell Xia Yingnuan the details and passed it on vaguely.
The girl sat in the pavilion, suppressing her sobs. Although she didn't cry out loud, it was still heartbreaking to hear her cry.
The night time, the former cemetery, and the crying girl in white may have made the hooligans not dare to come up for the time being, but once they gather enough people, they will probably muster up the courage to come up.
No matter how good a fighter the old lady was when she was young, she was old now after all. She was not sure that she could beat down more than a dozen young and strong guys by herself. For safety reasons, she forcefully dragged the girl to a crowded place at the foot of the mountain.
It was still spring at that time, and the night breeze was cool. The girl was only wearing a thin white dress, and there were still traces of tears on her face, making her look particularly pitiful.
She looked like a young lady who grew up in a pampered family and then ran away because of a conflict with her family. The old lady advised her to go home quickly, but the girl said she had no home.
She only had a cell phone and an ID card in her hand. Apart from that, the girl was penniless and had nowhere to go. She seemed out of tune with this world. Before the old lady came to find her, she was planning to sit on a bench in the park all night.
So the old lady took her back to her hotel, where there were several empty rooms, and she let the girl stay in the best one.
That night, the old lady could hear faint crying coming from the girl's room, which lasted for a long time.
She thought she was a delicate little girl, but after the next day, the old lady no longer saw a fragile look on the girl's face. After expressing her gratitude to the old lady, she asked if there was any job nearby that could pay daily wages.
The old lady helped her find a trustworthy person. The girl looked like a young lady who had never done housework, but she was able to endure any hardship. Even though she had no academic qualifications, she quickly found two jobs.
She lived in the room that the old lady had priced at 15 yuan. Since she went out early and came back late every day, this was her sleepplace and it didn't need to be very nice. So at first she planned to live in the cheapest room at 8 yuan, but that room did not have a private bathroom. After considering all aspects, the old lady refused to let her live in that room no matter what.
The girl was very lucky to meet this kind old lady when she was most unfamiliar with the world.
Because the girl often came and went here, people around her soon knew that there was a girl who was more beautiful than a star and who came and went alone every day.
When the old lady noticed that there were more and more suspicious figures hanging around here, she advised the girl to move to a better room because the door locks of better rooms were stronger and she had to come back earlier at night. At worst, she could just give up her night job. Safety was more important.
The girl listened to the old lady's advice and came back earlier than usual at night, but she was unwilling to change to a more expensive room. The old lady saw that the girl must be in great need of money from her extremely simple daily food and clothing, so she stopped persuading her. However, the next day she brought people to change the door of the girl's room.
Later, when she saved some money, she changed her job to a more stable milk tea shop, but her life was still tight.
Until yesterday, the girl suddenly changed her room to the most expensive one, and even bought a beautiful new dress and put on light makeup. The girl was very beautiful, but she had always lacked popularity. It was the first time that the old lady saw the girl's lively appearance, as beautiful as the first flower blooming in the morning.
"I thought Xiao Ning was going to see her lover, but it turns out she was going to see her sister." The old lady was fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan. Xia Yingnuan always felt that she looked at her strangely.
"Thank you very much for taking care of her during this period." Xia Yingnuan, who accepted the role of sister, had to pick up the social etiquette that she had thrown away long ago.
She originally wanted to listen to something fun, but the more she listened, the more upset she became.
With only an ID card and a cell phone, she was out of tune with this world and had made jokes before, and she had no academic qualifications. Under normal circumstances, Xia Yingnuan might have laughed at Ning Hanqi for being a "leaky fish", but she was in no mood to do so now because she had a headache.
"Nine-leaky fish"... Another new word popped up inexplicably in my mind.
Before he could verify it himself, more and more things came to support Ning Hanqi's words, unless Ning Hanqi started disguising himself when he met this old lady, but is this possibility high?
Xia Yingnuan's first reaction was: I've never seen such a thing before! There's actually a system that faints at the sight of blood! How many more "surprises" will the main system bring me?
Ning Hanqi was startled by the howling of her little niece. She hurried over and saw that there was a large bloodstain on the back of Xia Yingnuan's clothes, and her left hand hung down limply and trembled uncontrollably.
Xia Yingnuan kicked the system on the ground, wanting it to perform emergency repairs on her body. After all, the injury was strange, so it would be better not to go to the hospital if possible. But the useless thing on the ground didn't move after being kicked under the bed by her, so there was no need to expect it to help.
Afterwards, Xia Yingnuan was sent to the hospital by Ning Hanqi. Although she wanted to say that she could just take some medicine, Ning Hanqi's face darkened, and Xia Yingnuan had no choice but to be dragged away obediently.
When she got in the car, she began to reflect on herself. Why was she so cowardly? Ning Hanqi had a fierce face. Why was she afraid?
Xia Yingnuan spat at herself twice.
After going to the hospital, we found that her condition was a bit scary. The flesh below her left shoulder blade was rotten and bleeding, but the cause was unknown.
Ning Hanqi had investments in this hospital, so Xia Yingnuan underwent a full body checkup as soon as she was sent here. Not surprisingly, no problems were found, just inflammation of the wound.
The original owner had a criminal record like this. She had to endure both major and minor illnesses and was unwilling to spend more money. After Ning Hanqi sent the doctor away, she sat beside her bed. There was no trace of a gentle fake smile on her face at this time. She looked serious as if she would scold the person on the bed in the next second.
The doctor just said that the wound was like this because it had been left untreated for a long time, but Xia Yingnuan felt really wronged. The wound just appeared suddenly. Her skin was still smooth yesterday. Who would have thought that it would be like this when she woke up today?
Because of the back injury, Xia Yingnuan could only lie on the hospital bed, burying her head in the pillow, pretending that she couldn't hear what Ning Hanqi wanted to say.
Ning Hanqi was silent for a long time, and her serious expression gradually softened. Looking at the little girl's head facing her, she moved her fingers and had an urge to touch it.
So similar...
It's exactly the same as refusing to face reality after being caught doing something bad.
If Liu Shanyan's investigation was true, and this girl had no contact with any faction, then why did she look so much like her? Was it just a coincidence?
Could it be that Song Qinuan stayed underground for ten summers, finally felt lonely, and ran back?
Ning Hanqi laughed at the thought of a drunk's remarks. How could that be possible? Never mind. I'll just observe this kid for a while longer.
In the end, Ning Hanqi followed his heart and reached out to knock on her head.
Xia Yingnuan turned her head in shock and looked at Ning Hanqi. It didn't hurt, but did you know how much damage a blow to the head would cause her?
"I'll come back every day to change your medicine. If I don't have time, I'll have my secretary come. I've already paid for all the medicine, so don't think about saving money."
"oh……"
This is truly a misunderstanding... Wait! Medical expenses?!
Her already unpaid debt was now even worse!
Oh, forget it. Too many lice won’t itch, and too many debts won’t worry. Let’s take it one step at a time.
Suddenly, something cold touched her mouth. Xia Yingnuan subconsciously opened her mouth and ate something sour and sweet.
"The effect of the anesthetic is almost wearing off. Do you feel any pain now?" Ning Hanqi peeled a piece of orange and fed it to Xia Yingnuan.
"Hmm... not so bad." Actually, no. Anesthetic? Did the doctor really give her anesthesia? But it didn't have any effect at all! She had to endure all the treatments!
Xia Yingnuan frowned. As expected, she had to ask the main system about this matter.
"If you had come for treatment earlier, it wouldn't be so painful." The little girl's face was pale and she spoke weakly. She must be trying to be strong. Maybe she was in so much pain now that Ning Hanqi couldn't bear to blame her.
"Next time, I will definitely do it next time..." Xia Yingnuan, who never lags behind others in terms of Hu Lai, said guiltily.
Painkillers shouldn't be taken too often, so Ning Hanqi chatted with Xia Yingnuan to distract her. If anyone close to Ning Hanqi saw this, they'd probably drop their jaws and say they were suspicious. But besides her own sister, who else could the ever-busy President Ning personally take care of for so long? And even keep her company, even Miss Liu, who claimed to be President Ning's closest confidant, would be jealous.
Ning Hanqi was not a talkative person. After talking about literature and art and the topic of Xia Yingnuan's soul flying away, she finally realized that the girl did not like these things. Instead, she was particularly interested in some gossip. Especially when she said that she had a friend, the girl's eyes instantly became bright.
"My friend, she... has a very special friend." Ning Hanqi might not realize that when she mentioned that special friend, the look in her eyes, the tone of her voice... was truly gentle as water.
"Uh-huh!"
"She saved her and helped her."
Oh~ life-saving grace!
"Although her friend's words were irritating and they often quarreled, she actually cared about her more than her biological parents."
Isn't this pure tsundere?! Hiss... But tsundere isn't very popular these days. Being straightforward won't get your wife stolen away by someone else! Xia Yingnuan was worried about that guy!
"Later..." Ning Hanqi paused, and Xia Yingnuan was so anxious that she almost stuck her head over.
"A lot of things happened afterwards, and they never met again." Ning Hanqi smiled bitterly. She didn't understand why she told this little girl about the past.
"Huh?" Xia Yingnuan was a little confused. How come they hadn't seen each other again? This was the couple she had just started supporting! Did it end in three seconds?!
"What happened? If there are any misunderstandings, please resolve them in time!" Xia Yingnuan asked tentatively.
“The situation was very chaotic at the beginning.”
Song Qinuan and Long Chendong both tripped her and her father up, causing her company to fall into bankruptcy crisis. In order to protect himself, her father made her a scapegoat. But the day after her scumbag father ran away with the money and illegitimate child, someone came to her with important information about Song Qinuan and Long Chendong's company. The situation was reversed in an instant, and in less than half a month, the one on the verge of bankruptcy became the other party.
She didn't want to push Song Qinuan into a desperate situation. She thought that as long as Song Qinuan apologized and gave in, even if she just made up a random excuse to coax her, she would accept it with her eyes closed.
But Song Qinuan was as stubborn as a stinky stone in a toilet. They started arguing as soon as they met without saying a few words.
But she didn't expect that before her car drove far away, she heard loud screams behind her. Song Qinuan fell from the 18th floor building and died on the spot. The police determined it was suicide.
The Song family collapsed, the Long family collapsed, and even when her scumbag father came back, he had no say and was kicked out of the company by her. The Ning family's business was taken to a higher level by her, as if she was the only ultimate beneficiary of the whole incident.
She stood dazedly in the position her father had longed for, getting everything and yet seemed to have lost everything.
"I...that friend thinks there's something wrong with this matter, but unfortunately..." She could no longer get the answer from Song Qinuan's mouth. Ning Hanqi didn't say what the expression on her face was, but Xia Yingnuan could see the sadness in it.
"Then go and ask!" Xia Yingnuan slapped the bed, and the movement was too big, which instantly pulled the wound, and her face was twisted in pain.
"Boss Ning! If your friend really likes the other person, don't hesitate! Just go for it! If all else fails, conquer the other person in bed! As long as the technique is good, there's nothing you can't ask!"
“…”
“…”
There was silence in the air, and it seemed as if a crow was flying by.
Oops, his true nature is exposed!
Xia Yingnuan silently crawled back to her original position and covered her head with the quilt. There were still some advantages to having S-232. At least she could stay alert and not be too reckless.
Ning Hanqi covered her slightly hot ears with her hair without leaving any trace. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you also think...she likes her?"
When I hear your description, I feel like... wait.
