He rode ahead in silence, not saying a word, and Lin Xi was puzzled. Why had Li Qiang changed his usual ways and become so taciturn?
Arriving at the single dormitory, Li Qiang led Lin Xi to Mrs. Fang's doorstep.
Zhang Xiaoyan was just about to look for Chen Yiyi when she saw Li Qiang bringing a strange girl, who was about her own age.
She looked at Li Qiang with surprise, grabbed his arm, and asked hastily, "Hey Qiang, who is she?"
"My apprentice," Li Qiang said irritably, glancing at Lin Xi, then replied in a friendly manner to Zhang Xiaoyan.
"Oh!" Zhang Xiaoyan gave Lin Xi a thoughtful look and then turned to run off.
She had to go tell Chen Yiyi about this.
Li Qiang watched her retreating figure in bafflement and turned to shout into the room, "Mrs. Fang, I brought my apprentice to give you acupuncture today."
"Apprentice?" Liu Fang hurriedly donned a jacket and came out, curiously sizing up Lin Xi behind Li Qiang.
