The woman immediately felt an electric shock strike her. Her wrist felt numb and painful, but she was powerless to struggle free. This made her both embarrassed and annoyed. She turned around and was about to shout at the security guards, but Xia Xiaoxi released her.

She lost her balance and fell face first onto the ground. Not only did she lose a tooth, but her nose was also broken. Fresh blood dyed her entire chin red, making her appear horrifying.

The woman didn't move. She raised her head and touched her teeth that had fallen to the ground. Then, she laid on the ground and started to bawl.

Her crying caused another wave of confusion. The male nurse ran over to help her up, asking in disgust, "What's wrong with you now? How did you fall? "

The woman raised her head, wanting to point at Xia Xinxin and denounce her. However, after searching the entire canteen, she couldn't find Xia Xinxin. Immediately, she started to cry loudly again.

Because she refused to brush her teeth for a long time, the stench coming from her mouth was enough to suffocate an elephant. The male nurse covered her nose with one hand and grabbed her clothes with the other as he shouted, "Stop crying! I'll take you to a doctor to stop the bleeding! If you keep on crying, you better be careful not to bleed to death! "

When the woman heard that she would bleed to death, she immediately stopped crying and obediently followed the male nurse's fart. He went to get a doctor.

Ever since this incident, not only did the woman not dare to provoke Xia Xinxin, the moment she appeared, she'd run away like a mouse that saw a cat. She didn't even dare to approach her anymore.

Xia Xinxin fell silent.

A week or so passed peacefully.

That morning, after she had eaten breakfast, the male nurse took her to see Rick again.

As soon as she entered, Rick closed the door and locked it, completely ignoring the inquisitive male nurse who was still waiting for him at the door.

Rick was a foreigner. He wouldn't be polite to people who doubted his profession. If he was in a foreign country, his nurses would look at him like this. The warmth of the wolf … If Concealed Light were to look at him, he would not hesitate to fire him.

However, in this country where everyone liked to keep things in their stomachs, he had to follow the customs of the land more or less. Moreover, he was only temporarily staying here, so he didn't want to say too much.

But today, he couldn't help but use such a silent method to counterattack.

Xia Xinxin chuckled, "I don't know if he got his nose crooked or not."

Rick laughed. "That's for the best! People like him who like to spy on people deserve this. "

He turned around and walked to the wine cabinet. He poured two glasses of red wine and walked to her side. He handed one cup to her and lightly touched the cup in her hand.

Xia Xinxin's eyes sparkled as she looked at him expectantly. With a smile, she asked, "What's the reason for drinking?" Is there anything to celebrate? "

"Let's finish this glass of wine first!" Rick smiled at her, an indulgent look in his eyes.

She was now very different from the way she had looked when he first came here.

At that time, her expression was wooden, her brain was slow, her eyes were dull and lifeless, even her speech was not quick. Moreover, her entire body was shrouded in a sad and desperate atmosphere, in short, she gave off a lifeless feeling.

Even though she was still thin and haggard, her eyes were lively and lively, and the smile on her lips was a little more confident. When she raised her eyebrows, he would easily be able to find a trace of her shadow when they met for the first time.

It was clear that she was slowly recovering from her injuries. Under his protection, she slowly grew up.

He liked her like this. He liked how he could protect her.

If possible, if she was willing, he was willing to protect her for the rest of his life.

However, this was obviously impossible.

He knew how good that man was, and he knew that he was the only person in her heart.

To tell the truth, he was really jealous of that man who was born in the midst of bliss, and even hated him. He thought that if he was in the place of that man, if he was loved by such a kind and refined woman, he would definitely be so happy that he would laugh out loud in his dreams. He would definitely engrave her into his heart, his soul, his entire life, and even if he was knocked silly, he would absolutely not be able to forget her.

Therefore, he felt that the man didn't love her enough.

Even so, he was willing to bless them, and he was willing to do everything in his power to help them come together, because she loved that man.

As long as she liked it, he wouldn't object.

He would not tell her that he liked her, would not tell her for the rest of his life, because only then would she let him stay by her side forever, protecting her in silence, watching her happiness.

Seeing the smile on Rick's face, Xia Xinxin had already guessed what was going on. She didn't want to make things clear, so she could only raise her glass to him, "Cheers!"

Their cups clashed once again. They looked at each other and smiled. Then, both of them raised their heads and gulped down the remaining wine in the cup.

She smiled and said, "Can you tell me what's going on now?"

Rick smiled as he took the cup from her and placed it on the table. Then he walked around the table and sat down, opened the drawer, and took out a rolled-up drawing.

She was overjoyed, covering her mouth with her hands, and laughed with her eyes wide open: "You really got it? Oh my god! "You haven't mentioned anything these few days. I thought you wouldn't be this fast!"

Rick laughed: "Is this a surprise?"

He then opened up the blueprint, "I've found the way out. You see, there's an air-conditioning duct in your room. All you have to do is open it, climb in, and follow it all the way down to the first floor, avoiding the nurses. The first floor will be locked after nine in the evening. I'll give you the keys, and you can just open the door and slip into the trunk of my car. I'll just drive out. "

Xia Xinxin frowned. "That's a good idea." However, our building is the closest to the front door, and there will be several security guards there at night. Even if I were to open the door and sneak out, I'm afraid I won't be able to run that far to your car without being discovered! "

Rick laughed. "Don't worry! I've already thought about it. I will buy some food and drinks to drink with them that day. You Chinese don't like to get together and eat and drink together, I don't think they will refuse. Of course, in order to make everything look normal, I would say hello a few days in advance. I would tell them that I was leaving soon, and in order to thank them for their support and concern, I would ask them to meet with me before I left. I'll arrange it in the gatehouse so that you can walk safely from the door to my car. Anyway, leave it to me. All you have to do is get out of the air-conditioning tunnel. "Don't go the wrong way. I'll give you a small flashlight the day we leave, and we'll give you the blueprints as well. When you see the fork in the road, take it out and let you have a look."

When Xia Xinxin heard this, she muttered to herself, "This really sounds like a perfect plan."

Rick laughed, "I've been thinking about it for a long time. You've drawn this route with a red pen. If you follow it, you definitely won't make a mistake!"

"Rick, thank you for listening to me and believing me. If I didn't meet you, I really don't know how long I can last here. " Tears flickered in Xia Xinxin's eyes. She couldn't help but be excited at the thought of being able to escape from this living hell. She also couldn't help but feel grateful to Rick, who had helped her so much with just one meeting. Without him, she would have definitely become a real lunatic, right?

Rick smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "I treated you as a friend the first time we met, so there's no need to thank each other. I believe that if I were to encounter difficulties in the future, you would be willing to help me without reservation. "

Xia Xinxin nodded vigorously. "Definitely." Then he shook his head, "But I don't want that to happen. Because I hope that you will be successful and safe for the rest of your life. "

"Then I'll be counting on your blessings!" Rick's heart skipped a beat when he saw her sincere eyes, but in order not to reveal his thoughts, he pretended to naturally lower his head and roll up the drawings on the table.

Having hope for the future, Xia Xinxin could not help but gossip, "Rick, I remember that the first time I came here, I met a girl. Was she your girlfriend?" Why haven't I seen her recently? Don't leave her in the cold because you're busy with my matters! Otherwise, when I go out, it would be really embarrassing to see her face. "

Rick laughed. "She?" You misunderstand, she is not my girlfriend, but my cousin. She came to work a few years earlier in an attached hospital in L City. She picked me up at the airport and drove me here. "

"Uh. Is that so? Is she an American too? " She was surprised for a moment, and then apologised in embarrassment, "I'm sorry! When I first saw you, I felt that you were very familiar, so I kept searching my mind for memories of you. In the end, I did not manage to clearly see her appearance, and had even misunderstood that she was a local, or that she was your girlfriend! "

"Hur hur. I knew you didn't see it. " Rick smiled as he placed a plate of fragrant cookies in front of her. "Eat a few biscuits," he said. She made it and asked me to bring a little for you to taste. Incidentally, she was the one who tried to get the blueprint. She has good connections here. "

"Is that so? "Then when I get out, I really need to thank her properly!" Xia Xinxin was moved.

"It's easy to thank her, just take her to a more distinctive Chinese restaurant. She has a great passion for Chinese cuisine. "

"NO!" I have to personally prepare a sumptuous table for you to eat! Only then will there be enough sincerity! "

"You can cook?"

"I do! Even though it wasn't on the level of a master, it was still acceptable for it to be an ordinary dish. In the future, as long as you guys want to eat it, when will you be able to? Xia Xinxin said sincerely.

She could only repay their kindness with friendship. This was the only way she could think of to not desecrate them the most.

"Then she must be overjoyed!" Rick smiled gently at her, genuinely enjoying the sight of her bright smile.

Become a lifelong friend?

Hehe. That was something he was happy to do.
