"You too." The man looked at the girl for a while longer before he left.
As he was about to enter the car, Ning Xi called out to him, "Lu Tingxiao…"
Lu Tingxiao turned back and looked at her.
Ning Xi gripped her hands into fists, then relaxed it after a while. In the end, she just waved."Be careful on the way back."
"Mmm."
…
Ning Xi remained stationary for a long time after Lu Tingxiao left. Until she felt a numbness pass throughout her body, she went back into the house.
There was something she had to tell him…
Even if it was difficult…
She had to eliminate it from the deepest, darkest roots even if it meant that she would have to face another hell.
…
The next morning, before going to the hospital, Ning Xi went home to change.
She put on a jersey and braided her hair. Then, she drew freckles all over her face and wore a pair of large glasses, turning herself into a less attractive version.
