Xu Nanxing broke out in cold sweat from the pain, and waved his hand with difficulty, "It's okay, Xiaoni. You have to go home early after working all night."
"How can I walk with you like this?" Xiao Ni helped her sit on the bench waiting for the bus. "Miss, can your legs walk?"
Xu Nanxing moved a little, but the pain was still severe, but she didn't want to trouble Xiaoni anymore and said,
"I just need to take a rest. You should go home quickly."
Xiao Ni bit her lip, looking like she was having a fierce psychological struggle. After a while, she said to Xu Nanxing, "Miss, shall I take you to the hospital? Or, I can take you home first."
Xu Nanxing understood what Xiaoni was hesitating about just now.
Xiao Ni looked to be around twenty. Although she was not much older than her, Xiao Ni still looked like a child compared to her. She started working so early, either because her family was in difficulty or she came from a rural area. Every penny she earned was precious. To take her to the hospital or home, she would have to take a taxi, and that money might be enough for her to eat for a few days.
She also had days when she had no money. When she was in college, in order to save money to attend an open class by a master, she worked three jobs in a row during the summer. She was not willing to spend a penny. She often had steamed buns and pickles at noon, and went to the canteen. Free clear soup.
Therefore, she could particularly understand Xiao Ni's hesitation just now.
She thought about it and found that her feet really couldn't support her home now. She might really need Xiaoni to send her back, and then transfer the expenses to Xiaoni when she got the phone.
"Xiao Ni, this is it. Please take me home first, and then when I get my phone, I will send you the fare of the trip via WeChat, okay?"
Xiaoni waved her hand, "No, no, no."
Xu Nanxing was so painful that she broke into a cold sweat. She really didn't want to argue with Xiao Ni anymore about this issue, so she waved her hand to stop her.
"Okay, Xiaoni, don't fight back and forth. We just met, and you have helped me so much, and now you have to trouble you to send me home, and I won't let you spend any money. Don't talk about it. , let’s take a taxi first.”
Xiaoni was actually relieved in her heart. Jingzhou is such a big city, and a taxi would cost dozens of dollars at least. That would be enough for her to buy groceries for several days.
She was very determined when she said that just now.
Xu Nanxing noticed the subtle expression change on Xiaoni's face, but still felt that it was just human nature.
It was difficult to get a taxi during the morning rush hour. Xiaoni stood on the side of the road for a long time before she got a taxi. The driver was not willing to take a taxi at first, but when he saw a beautiful woman sitting on the side of the road in the direction Xiaoni was pointing, he got out of the car and helped Xiaoni. Ni helped Xu Nanxing into the car together.
After getting in the car and giving her address, Xiaoni clapped her hands and said,
"Miss, do you live in Fengya Garden? I live near there. Do you know there is a village in the city over there? I live in the village in the city."
Xu Nanxing endured the pain and reluctantly replied, "That's very close to me."
Xiaoni continued to mutter something, where was the cheapest place to buy food and where was the best restaurant. Xu Nanxing only agreed, but didn't listen at all. Her ankles were in pain, and her skin and flesh were in pain. It seemed like something was about to rush out, jumping up and down.
Xiaoni didn't react until she didn't hear Xu Nanxing's voice for a long time.
"Miss, does it hurt?"
Xu Nanxing took a deep breath and nodded.
The driver in front heard their conversation and saw that the person in the back was in pain and had tears in his eyes. He stepped on the accelerator twice and accelerated and drove forward.
When getting out of the car, the driver helped Xu Nanxing to the door of the building before driving away.
Xu Nanxing grabbed Xiaoni's arm and almost dragged her legs back home.
Xu Sionglan came out after hearing the sound. When she saw Xu Nanxing like this, she was extremely anxious.
"Nan Xing, what happened?"
Xu Nanxing waved his hand, "It's okay, I sprained my foot." After speaking, he pointed at Xiaoni who was stunned by the door, "Sister, this is Xiaoni, thanks to her for sending me back today."
When Xiaoni walked in and saw Xu Silan sitting in a wheelchair, she realized why Xu Nanxing insisted on going home. She had a sister who needed care at home, so she was naturally worried.
"Thank you, Xiaoni." After saying this, Xu Silanglan said to Xiaoni apologetically, "Can you help me help Nan Xing into her room?"
Xiaoni heard this and sent Xu Nanxing back to her room.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xu Nanxing glanced at his increasingly swollen ankles and thought to himself that it was really leaking and it rained all night. It would take a while before he could go out to perform, and he would have to rest on his laurels.
Thinking of money, she called Xu Silan,
"Sister, help me get my bag."
Xu Sionglan rolled the wheelchair and took out the bag from the cabinet and handed it to her. Xu Nanxing took out two hundred yuan from the bag and handed it to Xiaoni.
"Here, Xiaoni! After deducting the fare you just spent, you can buy some fruit for yourself with the remaining money. Just treat it as my thanks. It's not much money, so don't be too little."
Xiao Ni waved her hand quickly, "Miss, I can't accept this, please put it away quickly." They are all hard workers, and Xiao Ni also feels that Xu Nanxing is not easy.
Xu Nanxing thought for a while and said to her,
"Let's do this, Xiaoni, keep the money and do me a favor."
"Say, as long as I can help."
"I made an appointment with your boss to pick up my phone this afternoon. I probably won't be able to make it now. Can you pick it up for me? And then bring it back when you get off work?"
Xiao Ni thought about it for a while, and without wasting anything, she agreed immediately, declined a few times with Xu Nanxing, then accepted the money and left.
Seeing that Xu Nanxing's ankle was so swollen, Xu Songlan rolled her wheelchair and went to the cabinet to find some anti-inflammatory and painkillers, as well as safflower oil and ointment. She sighed while applying the medicine.
"It was fine when I went out last night, but when I came back it was like this..."
"Sister, I just sprained my foot. I just need to rest for a few days." Xu Nanxing knew that Xu Songlan was worried about her, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "I can just rest at home for a few days."
Xu Sionglan applied the ointment to her ankle and said helplessly, "You always report good news but not bad news."
"Okay, sister, I want to sleep for a while. Can you cook me something delicious?"
"Okay, okay, I won't disturb your sleep." Xu Songlan tapped her forehead, "I'll take out the black-bone chicken you bought last time and make some soup for you."
Xu Sionglan shook her head and went out in her wheelchair. Although she was physically handicapped, she could cook a meal. At least she had the ability to take care of herself.
She didn't want to be the one who was always being taken care of by her sister, nor did she want to be a drag on her sister. Although for her, exercising to be able to cook and take care of herself requires more effort than normal people.
She felt that these difficulties were nothing. She could no longer help her sister share the burden of supporting the family, but at least sometimes she could have a hot meal when her sister came home late.
After taking anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics, Xu Nanxing covered himself with a quilt and lay down for a while. Then he felt that the pain in his ankle seemed to be better. It should be that the medicine he had just taken had an effect. Her mind was still groggy and her thoughts were scattered. She didn't want to think about those bad things anymore, so she simply closed her eyes and went to sleep.
In a daze, someone stood beside his bed. Xu Nanxing wanted to open his eyes but couldn't. However, he heard the person say to him,
"Make a price!"
She wanted to shout, but she couldn't make any sound. Her hands and feet kept struggling. She wanted to call her sister, but she couldn't get away. Finally, she yelled, "Get out!"
She also woke up suddenly.
The sun outside the window was already hanging slanting in the distant horizon. The dim light shone on the window and she smiled bitterly. Even in her nightmares, she looked like Gu Huaizhi.
I glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside. It was five o'clock. I had really slept for a long time.
The room was filled with the sweet aroma of chicken soup and red dates, and her stomach growled twice. She got out of bed, threw on some clothes, pulled on her shoes and moved little by little toward the outside of the house.
Before she reached the living room, she heard whispers. She glanced over and saw that her sister and Xiaoni were chatting quietly about something. When they saw her, they stopped talking.
"Nan Xing, are you awake? Do your legs still hurt?" Xu Silan waved to Xu Nanxing, "Come and sit. I left Xiaoni at home to have dinner. You come to accompany her while I stir-fry the vegetables."
Xu Nanxing responded, and Xiaoni quickly came over to help her over. After Xu Xianglan finished speaking, she entered the kitchen.
After her sister entered the kitchen, Xu Nanxing asked Xiaoni,
"Xiao Ni, did you miss work? I'm not in a hurry on my phone."
After saying that, she pointed to the direction of the kitchen, "My sister didn't ask you anything, did she?"
Xiaoni smiled and said, "Miss, she asked me where I work and what my family is like."
"Stop calling me little sister. My name is Xu Nanxing, and my sister's name is Xu Songlan. You can call me whatever you want." Xu Nanxing continued, "Go get your cell phone. Your boss didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"No." Xiao Ni said with a smile, "Our Mr. Cheng is so friendly! Oh, by the way, Mr. Cheng even asked me about you."
"What did you say?"
"I said you sprained your foot. It's very serious. You can't even walk. I sent you home." After saying this, Xiaoni thought of something and pulled the backpack over, opened it, handed her the phone, and took out an envelope. He handed it over and said, "Mr. Cheng gave this to me before he left. He said he was sorry for what happened last night and this is compensation for you."
Xu Nanxing thought to herself how the injustice she suffered last night could be made up for with money. The way these rich people deal with problems is always to use money to solve problems, just like when Shen Ruzhen came to her.
Thinking of Wang Minghao's arrogant look last night, she wanted to throw money at his face and say to him, "I'll reward you for drinking this pot of wine!"
"Sister Nan Xing? Sister Nan Xing?" Xiao Ni shook the envelope in front of Xu Nanxing's eyes.
"Ah? What did you say?" Xu Nanxing came to his senses.
"I mean compensation."
"Oh." Xu Nanxing responded, took a look at the thickness of the envelope, and took it.
She is now in a difficult situation. Moreover, Jing Ming agreed last night that it would be just a matter of getting to know each other after two glasses of wine, but he didn't mention that there was also that dandy boy in there, who would embarrass her like that, so she didn't feel bad about getting the money.
"Sister Nan Xing, do you know those people in the VIP last night?" Xiao Ni zipped up her backpack pocket and asked Xu Nanxing curiously.
"I don't know." She didn't want to have anything to do with those people, a group of young men who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
Xiaoni thought about the scene where she saw Xu Nanxing being dragged away by Gu Huaizhi last night, and she shushed Xu Nanxing again. She probably didn't want to say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Xu Silanglan shouted, and Xiaoni quickly got up and went to help.
The food was on the table, steaming hot and fragrant. The three of them were talking and laughing, and the small house of dozens of square meters became lively and noisy.
