The man's response was to kiss her again...
"Ning Xi..."
"Hmm?"
"Let's go home. The doctor said your injury is stable, so you can move about now."
"Okay! I've meaning to go home!"
The two clung onto each other in bed for a while before they finally got up.
When Ning Xi was putting on her clothes, she was upset to find that her entire body, even all the way down, was covered in hickeys!
It was a good thing that it was winter now, so she could wear something with a high collar to cover up.
When she asked the nurse for a turtleneck sweater, she still felt a little awkward.
