A quarter of an hour after Xin Zhixia concentrated on reading, she unexpectedly heard the knock on the door again.
Phytolacca sat on the sofa with her, seemingly immersed in reading, and raised his head when he heard the sound.
Seeing Shang Lu blinking and looking confused, Xin Zhixia pushed up her glasses and answered someone helplessly.
"Probably, maybe, maybe they are looking for me again."
Then he looked down at his bracelet and confirmed that the time was only 8:40.
This didn't match the time she expected.
Shangluca chuckled and said with a hint of ridicule: "Is Dr. Xinba Lain so busy?"
Xin Zhixia shrugged, curled her lips and smiled, and replied in a very narcissistic manner.
"Maybe I'm too good. Because my performance was so successful, I really blended into the environment."
After saying that, she closed the book directly, pushed it on the table, stood up and walked towards the door.
Don't forget to leave a sentence, "I'm going out to see what's going on. I'll come back and read with you in a while."
Phytolacca's smile was still bright and clean, and he nodded obediently.
"Okay, I'll wait for the excellent Xin Yi to come back."
Xin Zhixia smiled brightly, curled her fingers slightly, then stretched them out naturally, raised her hand to open the door and walked out.
After Xin Yi left the room, Shang Lu's eyes flashed and he stared straight at the book she had read.
After a long time, he suddenly smiled, full of helplessness.
"fraud."
The covered book is placed in the center of the table, while the bookmark is left in the corner.
It means... someone has no intention of coming back at all.
The so-called "after a while" generally means a long time later.
Literally "accompany you", even though it is full of bewitching meaning, it may just be delaying his discovery of something.
Shanglun sighed and simply closed the book in his hand.
"Now, the desire to read has dropped sharply."
-
On the way to the next group of six.
Noah sighed softly for the second time, his eyes secretly looking at Team Leader Simba Lain next to him.
If Xin Zhixia realized something, she asked, "What's wrong? Team member Noah."
Noah immediately shook his head, looked away, and soon couldn't help but speak.
"Team leader, my mission is not completed. They should be able to succeed..."
Xin Zhixia knew what Noah was thinking in just a moment. She turned her head and comforted her softly: "Patient Mengli has a special origin. She doesn't agree with it, so naturally you can't say much. This is normal, member of Noah's team. It shows that you are considerate of the patient’s feelings and are an excellent doctor.”
Noah nodded and smiled shyly.
"Thank you, team leader, for not blaming me. I will work hard in the future."
Xin Zhixia waved her hand not to mind, turned back, pushed up her glasses, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
There will always be players whose character settings are not bad, which is also within her expectations and within the scope of reasonable planning.
However, this player is Meng Li.
It made her somewhat wary.
After all, Meng Li holds some key information in his hands.
Noah came to tell her the news of her failure, which gave her a new idea.
Arrive at Ward No. 1 of the No. 6 Disease Research Team next door.
Xin Zhixia signaled that Noah could push the cart and leave first, and then she would communicate in person.
After Noah left, she curled her lips and raised her hand to knock on the door.
“Tuk tuk tuk”
The knock on the door was accompanied by self-introduction, "Hello, patient Mengli, I am the leader of Simba Lain."
Sure enough, after hearing that the person outside the door was her, Meng Li did not open the door to communicate with her.
"I refused the injection, Team Leader Simba Lain."
His tone was light and full of resistance, and he couldn't even open the door.
Xin Zhixia's smile did not change and she only added one more sentence.
"Patient Mengli, Noah and I are not here for injections. This is a routine communication in a special hospital."
As soon as she said this, she heard slight footsteps coming from the door, and then stopped abruptly.
Apparently Meng Li approached the door, but hesitated and did not open the door immediately.
The corners of Xin Zhixia's mouth raised, and she felt relieved.
Even after moving out the NPC, Meng Li still remained on guard.
Obviously he has his own interpretation.
But she was still confident that the other party would not refuse again, but would open the door.
Sure enough, the door opened.
"Squeak——"
However, Meng Li opened the door very slowly, and his eyes carefully observed the surrounding situation.
After discovering that there was no sign of Noah except Simba Lain, Meng Li's pupils narrowed slightly and only opened a gap before stopping. There was no sign of opening the door to welcome guests.
Mengli frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked extremely alert.
Staring at the other party, he said in a serious tone: "Xinba Lain, it's not good for you to lie to me like this, isn't it?"
Xin Zhixia took in this scene and looked at Meng Li with great interest.
"It seems that if I don't lie to you, you won't open the door."
After a pause, an unknown smile appeared on his lips, "Are you... afraid of me?"
Behind the door that Xin Zhixia couldn't see, Meng Li's left hand was gripping the door handle with such force that the veins on the back of his hand bulged and his fingertips turned faintly red.
Meng Li's expression was calm as usual when facing the person in front of him, and there was a hint of deliberate amusement in his eyes.
Changing the topic without leaving any trace, "This dungeon is fought by each other. Everyone is considered an enemy, so it is normal to be on guard against each other. I don't like to get close to people or cooperate with them. If you have nothing to do, my suggestion is that you can left."
As soon as he finished speaking, he made a show of closing the door to show that he did not welcome the other party.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Xin Zhixia stuck her toes in the gap, reached her right hand into the crack of the door, and held the door frame with her backhand.
This combination of hands and feet intercepted someone's intention to close the door.
She couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Meng Li who frowned tightly, and joked casually.
"Hey, you are really afraid of me."
Meng Li's face darkened visibly for a moment, and his eyes calmly glanced at the other person's suddenly raised hand.
Her heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, revealing her nervousness just now.
She almost thought Simba Lain was going to use props.
However, the more panicked she appeared at this distance, the more likely the other party would suspect something.
Meng Li pretended to be calm and had excellent control, and her social phobia has not been revealed until now.
However, Simba Lain obviously has more information.
Thinking of this, doubts inevitably arise in my heart, "What did she discover? Has she decided to take action against me?"
The chaotic thoughts were interrupted by the other party's nonsensical words.
"Look, you are so scared that your face is black."
Seeing Xinba Lain smiling happily, Meng Li's heart skipped a beat and he snorted coldly.
"Anyone who is treated like this won't feel any better, right?"
Xin Zhixia tilted her head, nodded thoughtfully, and then changed the topic again regardless of the other party's sharp eyes.
"It doesn't matter if you feel bad now. Let's talk and you'll feel better."
After a pause, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "Patient Meng Li, let's make a deal."
Meng Li's left hand still held the door handle tightly.
I don’t know whether it was out of the idea of letting the enemy relax their vigilance, or whether he was really tempted by the so-called “deal”.
She slowly asked: "What deal?"
Xin Zhixia retracted her hand and pushed up her glasses, her posture was relaxed and her eyes were shining brightly.
"I'll trade some secrets for customs clearance in exchange for the details of your cooperation with Phytolacca."
As soon as these words came out, Xin Zhixia keenly noticed that the doubt in Meng Li's eyes flashed away.
Then he shrugged, raised the corners of his mouth, and kindly helped her clear up her doubts.
"Ah, Phytolacca is my enemy, everyone is just acting on occasion."
