Chapter 835: Chapter 384: Life is Hard, Mu Bei Sighs
 

Wen Xin’s words made Sun Ning’s scalp tingle unconsciously; he felt that being praised so highly by Wen Xin was not a good thing.

“Alright, alright, stop putting a label on me. Don’t worry, I will work on the antidote as soon as possible, but we’ll need Xiao Mi’s cooperation. We’ll need to draw her blood a few more times, no objections, right?”

By this time, Xiao Mi had already stepped back from Wen Xin’s embrace. She looked into Sun Ning’s eyes, which brightened, “Of course, I have no problem. I’ve always trusted you, just like you saved my life back then.”

Xiao Mi always remembered Sun Ning. When Sun Ning appeared in Wen Xin’s hospital room, she recognized him immediately. He was her lifesaver, and she would not forget.

Sun Ning was amused by Xiao Mi’s earnest expression. He lifted his hand and gently rubbed the top of Xiao Mi’s head, “What a cute little girl.”

After speaking, Sun Ning looked up at Wen Xin and also at Mu Chengxi, who had been standing in place with a rather unpleasant expression.

“You all should head back first. I’ll notify you when I have results; I need to get busy!”

Sun Ning had been busy attending to Wen Xin at the hospital recently, and many things had been delayed. Now with Xiao Mi’s matter added, he was just too busy. He had no time to deal with them and had to ask them to leave quickly so as not to waste his time.

“Then we’ll head back first.”

After speaking, Wen Xin returned to her wheelchair and sat down, looking up at Mu Chengxi, who was daydreaming. Unconsciously, she furrowed her brows, lifted her hand, and lightly tugged at his arm, “Let’s go back.”

“Hmm.” Mu Chengxi snapped back to reality and responded indifferently, then began to push Wen Xin’s wheelchair out.

As they were going downstairs, Wen Xin looked up at Mu Chengxi, her beautiful eyes slightly squinting, observing Mu Chengxi’s unusual demeanor, and she smiled mischievously.

“I’ve come back to life, haven’t I? That’s all in the past, and my health has improved…”

Before Wen Xin could finish speaking, Mu Chengxi leaned down to kiss Wen Xin, enveloping her in his arms.

“It hurts my heart…”

Mu Chengxi had always known that Wen Xin’s past years had not been very good, but hearing Xiao Mi describe the scene, it felt as if he was soaking in icy water…

Standing not far away, Xiao Mi leaned lazily against the railing, watching the two kissing nearby.

“Is it necessary to be this clingy? Couldn’t they just go home and develop their relationship? This is really quite hard to watch.”

Mu Bei withdrew his gaze and turned around, clearing his throat before speaking in a gentle tone to Xiao Mi, “Second Miss, why don’t you and I go to the car and wait a while? Master Xi and Miss Wen are just whispering!”

“You call this whispering?” Xiao Mi’s gaze was still on Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin. She raised her hand pointing in their direction, incredulous at how skillfully Mu Bei could lie with his eyes open.

“Oh, Second Miss, Master Xi is just whispering to Miss Wen. Let’s not look; I’ll take you back to sit in the car.”

After speaking, Mu Bei reached out and grabbed Xiao Mi’s arm, leading her to the car.

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi let go of each other, watching the direction in which Xiao Mi and Mu Bei were leaving. Wen Xin narrowed her eyes and scoffed.

“I’ve noticed that Mu Bei’s skill at lying with open eyes is getting more and more impressive.”

Looking at Wen Xin’s dissatisfied expression, Mu Chengxi smiled indulgently and also looked up in Mu Bei’s direction, “Given the circumstances, it’s understandable. Mu Bei has already booked the hot pot restaurant. I’ll take you out to eat.”

After speaking, Mu Chengxi pushed Wen Xin’s wheelchair toward the direction of the car.

As they entered the hotpot restaurant, Xiao Mi was stunned by the antique decor within. It was her first time dining in such a place, especially surprising was the sight of the copper pot.

“Is this what hotpot is? Shouldn’t it be a nine-grid spicy one?”

“No, Miss, please have a seat first. This is our traditional hotpot, just a simple clear soup base. This is how you truly appreciate hotpot.”

As he spoke, Mu Bei began adjusting the seasonings for Xiao Mi, looking very enthusiastic.

Mu Chengxi wasn’t in the mood to concern himself with the two discussing hotpot. He focused solely on caring for Wen Xin, placing each type of ingredient from the hotpot into Wen Xin’s plate systematically.

Wen Xin was always used to being cared for by Mu Chengxi when eating. Whatever Mu Chengxi picked up, Wen Xin would eat, probably because she was in a good mood, Wen Xin ended up overeating slightly.

Finally, she stopped Mu Chengxi’s hand, “Okay, okay, I’m full now, no need to serve more. You eat.”

After Wen Xin had eaten the shrimp Mu Chengxi passed her, she let Mu Chengxi eat on his own, supporting her chin with one hand on the table and watching Xiao Mi eat with relish.

“Tomorrow, you’ll continue to go back to school. Make sure to explain everything to Sun Miao. If he gives you any trouble, call me, and remember not to run off again!”

After eating, Wen Xin felt somewhat drowsy. She half-squinted her eyes at Xiao Mi, her voice filled with concern as she advised.

“I understand. I’ll go back to school tomorrow, study hard, but…”

“But what? You need to remember, from the moment I gave you your identity documents, you’ve been Wen Mi. Your past doesn’t involve you anymore. Leave those matters to me. I’ll take care of them, and I won’t let them bother you anymore.”

Wen Xin’s tone was soothing as she comforted Wen Mi. She wasn’t joking in her speech; she’d handle everything concerning Independent State, and she wouldn’t let anyone off.

Xiao Mi looked into Wen Xin’s clear, bright eyes, feeling an involuntary reverence and naturally nodded her head.

“I understand. I’ve heard there will be a medical laboratory exam next March. I want to apply for the medical lab.”

“Hmm, it’s good that you have this aspiration. Study well. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask me or Sun Ning…”

When Wen Xin mentioned Sun Ning, she hesitated slightly, thinking that maybe Sun Ning wasn’t the best option, as he was still overwhelmed with his own research.

“Forget Sun Ning; he’s too busy. I’ll introduce you to a master surgeon in a while. You can discuss any issues with her.”

Currently, Nan Xu is in M State treating Chu Yunxuan. Once Chu Yunxuan’s health improves a bit, she would return, and then she could tutor Xiao Mi.

“Also, there’s one thing I need to remind you of: the hand that holds the scalpel is sacred, meant for healing and saving lives. Do you understand?”

Wen Xin’s voice suddenly grew colder, hoping that Xiao Mi would remember the sanctity of her profession and not make the same mistakes again.
