Ning Shaobai brought the medicine box over. Xia Mian was waiting for him to help her apply the medicine when he handed her a small mirror with an expressionless face. He then stuffed the iodine into her other hand and said, "Apply it yourself."
Xia Mian blinked and asked cautiously, "Doctor Ning, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
Ning Shaobai ignored her and picked up the book to continue reading.
Xia Mian sighed. Even the trump card didn't work. Doctor Ning, this matter is a bit serious.
She was just debating whether to sit here and quietly accompany him, or leave and let him be alone, when Mao Huizhu suddenly ran in, "Sister Mian, can we play with that stuffed bear?"
Xia Mian said, "Okay, go play."
Turning around, Xia Mian was startled to see Ning Shaobai staring at her. "What's wrong?"
Ning Shaobai tapped the tome with his index finger and said nonchalantly, "After all, it's a birthday present for you. Is it okay to just let the kids play with it so casually?"
Xia Mian was puzzled. "If you gave me a gift, it's mine. And why are you giving it to children to play with? Aren't furry toys meant for children to play with?"
"I thought you would treasure it carefully." Ning Shaobai paused and added, "After all, it is someone else's precious gift from their youth."
Xia Mian rolled her eyes. "Doctor Ning, please don't make a big deal out of this. I haven't settled the score with you about the love letter box yet."
"Things that need to be carefully preserved are for important people, okay?" Xia Mian said, "Ordinary friends just exchange gifts. If you want to treasure all the gifts, then you have to give me a big yard to store the gifts."
"Similarly, birthday gifts from ordinary friends are just tokens of appreciation at best, and they can't be considered precious. I'm not someone important to Han Haoyan."
"Isn't it?" Ning Shaobai closed the book. "I heard that boy followed you here because he was so stubborn. He should be very popular in your school. Has he never written you a love letter?"
"He's very popular," Xia Mian exclaimed. "He's handsome, good at studying, and has great athletic ability. The girls in our school are completely obsessed with him. He is indeed the most popular boy in our school."
Ning Shaobai narrowed his eyes slightly, "You think he's good too?"
"Tsk," Xia Mian shook her head in disdain, "Of course not me, I don't like that kind of thing. No matter how good the conditions are, it's like a peacock flower. It seems that everyone likes it, except Aquaman."
"Neptune?"
"Oh," Xia Mian explained, "I am the king of fishermen in the sea. I cast my net widely and catch as many fish as I want."
Ning Shaobai said, "It seems that you are also a fish in his sea?"
"How is that possible?" Xia Mian's eyes widened. "Doctor Ning, you don't know me yet. If he dares to hook me, I'll let him see what a shark is!"
As she said this, she opened her mouth and made an "Awooo" sound, showing off her sharp teeth.
Ning Shaobai was amused and raised his hand to pull her ahoge.
Seeing that he was happy, Xia Mian immediately continued to complain to him with great interest, "So, that kind of person won't actively pursue others, otherwise they will lose the happiness of being surrounded by stars."
Ning Shaobai said, "You see things very clearly."
"Of course," Xia Mian raised his chin proudly, "I'm so smart."
"Okay, I know you're worried about me falling in love too early," Xia Mian said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't have a relationship in high school." She leaned over to Ning Shaobai and chuckled, "It's not that I'm worried about it affecting my studies, it's mainly because high school boys are too immature and there's no type I like."
Ning Shaobai said calmly, "What type do you like?"
Xia Mian turned her head and looked at Ning Shaobai.
Ning Shaobai's index finger began to tap the cover of the tome again, "Hmm?"
Then Xia Mian sighed exaggeratedly, "With someone as brilliant as Dr. Ning standing before me, I feel like I can't be attracted by anyone else."
"Doctor Ning, you've single-handedly elevated my standards for men," she said, her face a look of "what am I going to do in the future?" "I'm afraid I'll never be able to get married in this lifetime."
Although he knew she was teasing him, Ning Shaobai couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, stretched out his arm, and tapped her forehead, "Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that she couldn't pick up the cotton swab after holding the mirror, and couldn't pick up the cotton swab after holding the mirror, Ning Shaobai softly "tsk" and patted the seat next to him, "Come here."
Xia Mian immediately leaned over happily, handed him the cotton swab, and continued to flatter him with a smile, "That's not nonsense, everything I said is true."
To increase her persuasiveness, she said seriously, "If you, Dr. Ning, like girls, I will definitely be the first to sign up and compete!"
Ning Shaobai paused, staring at his earlobe, which was completely intact. He used a cotton swab to smear a little iodine before speaking calmly, "Then you should get ready. You can start competing now. Your chances should be pretty good, after all, you're close to home."
Xia Mian suddenly turned her head to look at him.
Ning Shaobai held up the cotton swab and said nonchalantly, "Why do you look like that? Do you want to regret it?"
Xia Mian said seriously, "Doctor Ning, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?"
"You're Doctor Ning," Xia Mian said, "How could you possibly just give in..."
Ning Shaobai: ...
"I won't allow you to belittle yourself like this." Ning Shaobai said, "You are the best."
Xia Mian choked, glared at him and said, "Let's talk about business!"
"Doctor Ning, tell me honestly, what triggered you today?" Xia Mian said bitterly, "It made you so self-destructive that you even wanted to force yourself to change your sexual orientation!"
Ning Shaobai: ...
He rubbed his forehead with a headache, sighed deeply and said, "Forget it, just study hard first."
Xia Mian was even more worried. What on earth could have happened to make the usually calm and composed Big Boss so helpless...
She blinked, a series of Ning Shaobai's behaviors flashing through her mind, and suddenly an idea struck her, "Doctor Ning, do you have someone you like?"
Ning Shaobai closed the lid of the medical kit with a snap, looked up at Xia Mian, and said calmly, "Why do you say that?"
"Is it true?" Xia Mian's eyes widened when she saw that he didn't deny it at all. "Who is it? Are you two in love, or..."
Having said this, she slapped her forehead, feeling dumbfounded. If they were in love with each other, Ning Shaobai wouldn't have to be so depressed.
Ning Shaobai knocked her head with a bit of toothache, "What are you thinking about?!"
Xia Mian didn't mind, with an expression of "I understand everything", "I know that life is difficult, you, you all have a hard time..."
Ning Shao's face darkened. "I told you not to overthink it!"
"Okay, okay." Xia Mian hurriedly comforted him, "I don't want to, I don't want to..."
However, when she said this, she suddenly paused, and a frightened expression appeared on her face. "Ning, Doctor Ning, you, you wouldn't be... you wouldn't like..." The following words seemed very difficult to say.
Ning Shaobai's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Xia Mian and asked in a hoarse voice, "What?"
Xia Mian suddenly covered her mouth, her round eyes full of shock, "You really, really like..."
Ning Shaobai curled his fingers unconsciously and moved closer to her without any expression, blocking her way. "Like?"
Then Xia Mian said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Zhou?"
who?
Oh my God, she, she didn't even notice it.
Xia Mian's shocked eyes were filled with heartache. She grabbed Ning Shaobai's hand and said uncomfortably, "Doctor Ning, it's really not easy for you."
What is this girl talking about?
The shock was so great that Ning Shaobai's mind went blank for a moment.
Xia Mian looked at his confused expression and immediately imagined the love, hatred and vengeance between Ning Shaobai and Zhou Xuewen in their two lifetimes.
No wonder the boss remained single in his previous life until Chenchen got married and had children. It turned out that it was not because of worldly views. Also, people like Ning Shaobai would never care about worldly views.
It turns out the real reason was that he fell in love with someone he shouldn't have...
All his abnormal behavior today was explained. At noon, he must have seen Ning Shaoyun and Zhou Xuewen holding hands.
So it wasn't because I was dissatisfied with Zhou Xuewen, but because I couldn't get what I wanted...
Oh my God, this, what kind of desperate crush is this.
And she had just come in and stabbed him in the heart...
"Stop." Ning Shaobai looked at Xia Mian, who looked so sad that she was about to cry, and his head felt buzzing.
"Aesthesia!" He pinched the back of the girl's neck and felt his blood pressure soar. "Do you know what you're talking about?!"
"Doctor Ning, Doctor Ning, brother! Big brother, calm down, calm down." Xia Mian was so scared that he blurted out, "In this society ruled by law, you can't kill people to silence them. I, I support you."
Ning Shaobai clenched his teeth and said, "What do you support? Do you support me strangling you to death?"
"Well, that can't be done." Xia Mian said hesitantly, "But you really need to calm down. Come on, take a deep breath, a deep breath..."
Ning Shaobai took a few deep breaths and kept telling himself in his heart to hold on, because this was the wife he chose himself, and if he strangled her to death, she would be gone.
"Are you calm now?" Xia Mian quickly went to the main room and brought him a glass of water. "I..."
"Stop!" Ning Shaobai interrupted her quickly to prevent himself from doing something irreversible.
He rubbed his forehead and gritted his teeth, "Xia Mian, what on earth is in your head?"
Xia Mian whispered, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
At this point, he said apologetically, "I'm rubbing salt into your wounds."
Ning Shaobai is a stalk.
No, I was wrong. Ning Shaobai had a splitting headache. Why would I like such a bastard?
"Right now! Immediately!"
"Throw away all those messed up thoughts in your head!" Ning Shaobai couldn't help himself and put his arm around her neck, ruffling her hair. "If you dare to have those messed up thoughts again, I'll strangle you to death."
Xia Mian didn't even bother to fix her hair, she turned her head to look at him, "You really don't like Zhou..."
"No!" Ning Shaobai's blood rushed to his head, and he felt that he would not be able to hear the three words "Zhou Xuewen" again in the short term.
"real?"
Ning Shaobai grabbed her ear and said, "Try asking again."
"It hurts, it hurts!" Xia Mian said, "I won't ask anymore!"
Ning Shaobai let her go in a bad mood. Xia Mian said happily while fixing her hair, "That's great, that's great."
Otherwise, Ning Shaobai's emotional journey would be difficult, and she would not be able to face Sister Ning in the future...
Ning Shaobai knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her expression, and immediately he felt the urge to kill again.
Xia Mian shrank her neck and murmured, "Who made you throw a tantrum after I told you about Sister Ning and Mr. Zhou, like you were heartbroken..."
"Who's heartbroken?"
You're going to piss me off to death before I even fall in love.
Seeing Ning Shaobai staring at her dangerously, Xia Mian knew that she had really misunderstood.
He quickly stepped forward and patted his back attentively to calm him down. "Doctor Ning, please forgive me for my mistakes. I was wrong."
"If it's not a broken heart, then what were you angry about before?"
Seeing Ning Shaobai's eyes showing murderous intent again, Xia Mian hurriedly said, "I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore."
Then she started her usual routine again, "I'm also fighting poison with poison."
Ning Shaobai looked at her, wanting to hear what nonsense she could come up with.
Xia Mian said, "Look, I've used all my tricks, and you're still not happy. Isn't that what I'm doing?"
Ning Shaobai snorted coldly, "Then I should thank you?"
"That's not necessary," Xia Mian handed him some water in a flattering manner, "How do you feel now?"
"Is it true that compared to this one, all the previous anger is nothing? Have you calmed down?"
Ning Shaobai rubbed his forehead, "Yes, I'm already mad at you, where would I get angry from?"
Xia Mian couldn't help laughing at this tongue twister.
Ning Shaobai squinted his eyes and looked at her.
Xia Mian touched her nose awkwardly, then continued to calm him down, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, Doctor Ning, please forgive me..."
However, the residual power of Xia Mian's mental bombardment was so great that Ning Shaobai felt a headache just by looking at her. He leaned back and said weakly, "What did you ask me to do?"
Xia Mian didn't dare to chat anymore. She stroked his chest and said carefully, "I want to ask how much money I have with you."
Ning Shaobai grabbed her wrist and sat up, "Do you need money?"
Xia Mian didn't dare to pull her claws out, so she just relaxed her arms and let him hold them. "It's not urgent. I want to wait for an opportunity to buy some houses, so I know how much money I have."
Ning Shaobai asked curiously, "What do you want so many houses for?"
Xia Mian said, "Wait for the demolition. I want to be a teacher in the future, and I will rely on the house to support me. I can collect 30 houses and rent them out. I can collect rent every day."
Ning Shaobai looked at her speechlessly, "That's all you can do."
Xia Mian's eyes widened, "This is quite impressive, isn't it!"
She can't compare with the big guys.
Ning Shaobai didn't say anything, only said, "I haven't decided yet, it will take some time. Have you found a house yet? When do you want it?"
Xia Mian waved his hand and said, "No, there's no rush."
"We can talk about it when I come back from my hometown."
Ning Shaobai paused, "You want to go back to your hometown?"
Xia Mian said, "Well, take Xiao Feng back with you to visit my sister's grave and see my uncle and his family. We ran away with all our might, and my uncle and his family are still thinking about us."
At this point she sighed and said, "How long do you think it will take to get a driver's license? Can it be done in a week?"
Ning Shaobai said, "Why do you want to take the driver's license test again?"
"Because I don't want to take the train." Xia Mian made a bitter face. The green trains of this era were too terrible. Although driving was also tiring, it was still much better than taking the train.
I miss the high-speed train again.
Ning Shaobai said, "Do you know the way?"
Yes, these days when you go out you have to rely on the driver to know the way.
Miss navigation.
Ning Shaobai took her expression in calmly. It was normal for house prices to rise, but not needing a driver when going out? What was the reason?
The slender wrist in his palm moved, and Ning Shaobai came back to his senses and gently let go. The remaining delicate touch in his palm finally calmed him down.
Xia Mian endured it for a while, but curiosity got the better of her, and she asked quietly, "Doctor Ning, do you really have someone you like? Who is it?"
Ning Shaobai stared at her, as if he had some deep hatred for her, and squeezed out four words from between his teeth: "I like you."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Xia Mian ran away in fright.
Ning Shaobai: ...
