"Alright, let's skip over this first. It's been a long time since we last met, let me see if you're skinny!" Tang Xue Ning quickly restored her carefree nature. She took Hai Xiao Min's hand and was about to say something when she felt something was wrong. She looked down and saw her left wrist wrapped in gauze.

Hai Xiao Min smiled and shook his hand, "Oh, it's all over. Look, I'm fine now."

"Good?" Tang Xue Ning's eyes turned slightly red, her voice tinged with the hoarseness of a weeping voice. "You were so close to never coming back."

There was no need to put on an act in front of others, as her fragility was completely exposed in front of Hai Xiaomin.

"It's enough with my brother being like this. You're here again, do you know how scared I was when I heard you guys disappeared at sea?" Tang Xue Ning's tears rolled down his face and fell to the ground.

She had already lost her parents when she was very young, couldn't lose her brother, and didn't want to lose her close friends. But why was it that she couldn't take care of herself and live well for her when these people made her worry so much?

The carefree Tang Xue Ning was actually more sensitive than anyone else.

Hai Xiao Min gently wiped away her tears and consoled her, "I know, Xue Ning, I know …"

"You don't know anything!" Tang Xue Ning ungratefully cried, "You know you won't tell me anything?" How long are you planning to keep me in the dark about the incident that happened to your family?! "

Being yelled at by her, Hai Xiao Min was scared and slightly lowered her eyes: "You know about it huh?"

Tang Xue Ning angrily walked to the bedside and sat down. She took a few pieces of tissue from the bedside table, wiping her tears as she said with a face full of tears, "I couldn't contact you anymore. I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I called uncle and aunt. If it wasn't for that phone call, I would still be in the dark."

"Hai Xiaomin, do you think I'm your best friend who grew up in the same pants as you?!" If Hai Xiaomin couldn't give her a satisfactory answer today, she would... She just wouldn't leave!

Madan! How could he not take her seriously!

Hai Xiao Min drooped his shoulders and sighed. He turned around and walked over. He sat down next to Tang Xue Ning and tried to pull her hand.

"Xue Ning, it's because we are best friends that I know how big of a blow Brother Tang Xuan's matter has caused to you. I can't share the pain you've endured. At least, I can't burden you no matter what."

When Tang Xue Ning heard this, she immediately burst into tears.

She looked at Hai Xiaomin with a sorrowful face, unable to speak for a while. She knew it was the result, but when she heard it with her own ears, she could not suppress the bitterness in her heart.

This was how her good friend always thought for others. As long as she could swallow down any hardships, she would carry them all by herself.

Tang Xue Ning had heard everything from his mother, and knew that Hai Xiaomin's part-time job for the past few months, even when he stepped on Saiya, was to make money to support his family. The other party clearly had no less experience than her, but after countless phone calls, the other party had only patiently listened to her pour out her grievances, and didn't mention a single word about his own difficult situation!

Even if she said it out loud, her heart would still feel a bit more at ease. Furthermore, no matter what, she could be considered to be able to help him a little.

He thought that he had complained more than once about Hai Xiaomin's indifference to them. He thought that she was indifferent, but he did not expect that there was such a problem.

Tang Xue Ning's tear ducts completely collapsed. She took the initiative to hold Hai Xiao Min, crying like a child abandoned by its parents." Woo woo, Little Min, what do you want me to do? "Sometimes, I'm really angry at you, but I don't know how to take you, wuu ~

"Alright, alright, everything is fine now. Haven't we made it through already?" Hai Xiao Min kept lightly patting her back. She could not bear the pain anymore, she had to bear it and didn't want to cry too.

She wanted to laugh. Wasn't this going in a better direction? This was something to be happy about, so she shouldn't be sad about it.

"Don't hide it from me, Little Min. I beg you, don't hide anything from me in the future. When you need it the most, I am like a fool looking at you with indifference. The moment I know the truth is really hard to bear!"

"Alright, I won't hide it from you, stop crying …" Hai Xiao Min followed her instructions.

The two then went for a walk in the garden to relax. The following topics were all happy and worried about nothing. At last, they were able to reunite a little.

Hai Xiaoming was aware that Tang Xue Ning had mentioned Jia Xiu several times during this period of time. As for Tang Xuan's treatment, part of it seemed to be because Jia Xiu was following up on the news, so the two of them kept in contact privately.

When Tang Xue Ning mentioned Jess Xiu, she either gnashed her teeth or laughed at him in disdain.

These two people …

Hai Xiao Min remained calm and collected. Perhaps she had misunderstood him, so she decided to look at the situation first and think about it later.

They sat down side by side and chatted until the topic came to Ling Yao. Tang Xue Ning suddenly asked, "Little Min, how much do you know about Ling Yao?"

"How much do you know about what?" Hai Xiaoming felt a little guilty, could it be that she saw through something?

Tang Xue Ning frowned her beautiful eyebrows. "I found some information about Ling Yao and found out that his identity isn't as simple as it seemed to be …"

As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by someone looking for him.

It was a tall, well-built man dressed in a black suit. He was one of Ling Yao's bodyguards.

When he returned to Mi Guo, he changed all his bodyguards into local faces.

"Miss Hai, Ling Xian was worried that you would chat too happily and forgot to eat. Let me remind you that lunch is ready to be delivered to your room. Please go back with your friends and continue chatting after dinner."

"I know, thank you." Hai Xiao Min smiled and thanked him for his hard work.

She got up and helped Tang Xue Ning up.

"Let's go back to eat first. Xue Ning, you shouldn't be in too much of a hurry to leave, right?" Hai Xiao Min suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked how long the other party could stay for.

Tang Xue Ning didn't know what she was thinking, but her expression was somewhat absent-minded as she hastily replied: "I won't be leaving tonight. We haven't seen each other for so long, but I miss the day when I whisper to each other while wrapped in a sheet."

"Alright, I'm waiting for you to say that!" Hai Xiaomin was amused. She hadn't had the time to pay attention to the previous conversation.

The bodyguard led the way at the front, and from a distance, Hai Xiao Min and Tang Xue Ning followed behind, arm in arm.

Tang Xue Ning stared at the bodyguard's back. From the moment he was about to say something, he swallowed his words again and again, all the way until he returned to Hai Xiao Min's sickroom.

As soon as he reached the entrance, the rich fragrance of food wafted in the air.

He didn't need to look to be able to smell that it was definitely not a western style delicacy, but a Chinese dish!
