C3 A Late Notice

Even though they had found out who was behind it.

However, he still could not solve the doubt in Ann Ning's heart.

This was because he did not know the East Mansion International's Master Hua at all, and he did not know when he had offended him.

However, every injustice had its perpetrator, and every debt had its debtor.

Since he already knew who did it, there would always be a time to find out!

When he walked out of the Emperor KTV, it was almost ten o'clock.

Ann Ning, who was only wearing a thin coat, felt a chill down his spine as the cold night wind blew past him.

How pathetic!

He did not even have the money to eat a bowl of supper in his pocket!

If he had known earlier, he would have asked Boss Dong upstairs to 'borrow' some money.

He rubbed his face regretfully and turned up his collar. He was about to run back to warm himself up.

When he raised his head, he saw a small head sticking out from under the banyan tree on the other side of the street.

Ann Ning was stunned.

"Brother!"

As soon as Ann Xin saw him, she quickly ran over and threw herself into his arms.

She did not know how long this child had been waiting outside. She was only wearing a nightgown and her face was blue from the cold.

What a pity for this motherless child!

Ann Ning sighed, took off his coat and put it on her, then carried her on his back.

"Silly girl, why aren't you sleeping at home? Why are you here?"

"I'm worried about you..."

Ann Xin's little head rubbed against her brother's back like a kitten.

Back home.

Ann Ning, who was still a little worried, urged his little sister to lie down on the bed as he ran into the kitchen and made two bowls of ginger soup.

"I'm not drinking!"

Seeing her brother carrying the ginger soup into the bedroom, Ann Xin immediately wrapped herself up tightly, only exposing her small head. She begged for mercy, "The ginger soup is so spicy, I don't want to drink it..."

"I've been frozen outside for so long just now. If I don't drink some ginger soup to sweat, what if I catch a cold?"

Ann Ning placed the bowl on the bedside table but did not give in.

"But, it's so spicy..."

Ann Xin said as she kept shrinking back.

Seeing this, Ann Ning picked up one of the bowls and drank it all in one gulp. He showed her the bottom of the bowl and said, "Look, I put sugar in it. It's not spicy at all. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"Really?"

Ann Xin took the ginger soup skeptically. Under her brother's encouraging gaze, she carefully took a sip and immediately choked, "Bad brother, you're lying. I won't believe you anymore!"

"Look, you've already taken a sip of this bowl of soup. You can't waste the rest, right? Hurry up and finish it. I'm still waiting to wash the dishes!"

Ann Ning also had a helpless expression on his face.

He suddenly realized that taking care of a child was more tiring than fighting a war.

Damn it!

It was not easy to coax Ann Xin to finish the ginger soup. Seeing that she had fallen asleep and covered her with the blanket, Ann Ning then walked out of the bedroom exhausted.

As soon as he closed the door, he frowned.

At the door of the living room stood a tall and slender young woman in casual clothes.

Seeing his cautious face, the woman waved the key in her hand and explained, "You left your key outside."

Only then did Ann Ning remember that he had indeed forgotten to pull out the key when he returned just now.

Thus, he nodded and said, "Oh, thank you."

"You're welcome!"

The woman walked in and put the key on the table. She looked around and didn't seem to want to leave.

Ann Ning could only call out to her, "Why don't you have a seat?"

After saying that, he turned around and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

He did not know the other party. He was alone in the middle of the night, so he just wanted to be polite.

However, when he was done washing, this weird woman actually sat down on the chair!

"Ahem. How about I make you a cup of tea?"

Ann Ning reluctantly greeted her again.

"Not too strong," The woman nodded.

After saying that, she casually picked up the homework book that Ann Xin had placed on the table and started flipping through them one by one without even raising her head.

Did she really think that she was an outsider?!

Ann Ning suddenly felt a little depressed.

However, since the words had already left his mouth, he could only do his part as a host. He turned around and went back to the kitchen to boil some water.

This time, he purposely dragged out the time.

He was hoping that this uninvited woman would leave on her own if she could.

While waiting for the water to boil, he glanced outside and was surprised to see that not only did the woman not leave, but she even took out a pen from her pocket and scribbled something on Ann Xin's homework!

"What are you doing?"

Ann Ning immediately stood up.

The woman did not say anything until she finished the last paragraph and pushed the exercise book in front of him. Only then did she raise her head and say, "Ann Xin's comprehension of applied questions is relatively poor. Look at this math problem. She's obviously upside down."

Ann Ning was dumbfounded.

Then he looked at the woman sitting firmly in front of him. He suddenly slapped his head and said, "You, you are Teacher Ye from No.1 High School!"

... ""

Ye Zixuan's face immediately darkened.

This bastard, she had been Ann Xin's homeroom teacher for two years, how could he not know?

Throwing the pen away, he snorted coldly and crossed his arms, "Surnamed An, don't tell me you've forgotten about me?"

"I didn't forget, I didn't forget. Teacher Ye, I really..."

As Ann Ning spoke, he could not find any more excuses, causing his face to turn red, "Teacher Ye, wait a moment. The tea will be ready soon!"

After saying that, he quickly turned around and sneaked into the kitchen.

How embarrassing!

As a guardian, he actually did not even know his sister's form teacher.

Furthermore, he had already heard Ann Xin talk about it countless times. This Teacher Ye really cared for her and was very nice to her.

The past Ann Ning did not even care about his little sister's living expenses.

But now, he wanted to treat her well.

Unfortunately, he had nothing to offer.

He had to clean the cup again and again. He picked some good tea leaves from the broken pieces and made a cup of tea.

"Teacher Ye, please have some tea. I'm really sorry to have to make you come so late at night."

Ye Zixuan's face immediately darkened.

"I live upstairs!"

"Ugh..."

Ann Ning immediately stood there, unable to stand or sit.

Yes.

It was extremely awkward.

Ye Zixuan seemed to snort coldly. Only then did she pick up the teacup and carefully taste it.

The loose tea, which was worth more than ten yuan per kilogram, had no other taste other than bitterness.

However, if one were to look at Ann Ning's expression as if he had nowhere to put his hands and feet, it would be quite interesting.

Therefore, she drank very slowly.

It was as if she wanted to drink this cup of tea until dawn.

The two of them stayed in the small house and did not speak for a long time.

It would not be good if this continued!

Ann Ning felt that as Ann Xin's brother, he should at least greet the homeroom teacher who came to visit him.

After holding back for a long time, he finally thought of a topic to talk about.

"Um... Teacher Ye, do you still want to add more water?"

The two of them were in the same room, but no one spoke for a long time.

The two of them did not speak for a long time.

It was not good to go on like this!

Ann Ning felt that as Ann Xin's brother, he should say something in the face of a visiting teacher.

After thinking for a long time, he finally thought of something to say.

"That... Teacher Ye, do you still want to add more water?"

Pfffft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ye Zixuan spat out a mouthful of water.

After placing the teacup on the table, she said angrily, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Uh... I didn't mean that!"

Ann Ning finally found himself a job, found a cloth, and diligently wiped the table.

Ye Zixuan looked at him blankly for a long time, then frowned and said, "You really don't remember me?"

"Well..."

Was he still complaining that he didn't recognize her just now? Wasn't this a little too stingy?

Ann Ning pondered for a while in his heart and tried to find an excuse for himself, "I've been feeling dizzy these past few days, Teacher Ye. I'm really sorry."

"Humph!"

Ye Zixuan's face immediately turned cold again, "You've been fooling around outside a lot and got beaten up, right?"

You even know this?

Ann Ning touched his nose in embarrassment, but did not refute.

"Are you really going to live like this for the rest of your life?"

He did not know if it was an illusion or not.

Ann Ning realized that when Ye Zixuan said this, her tone was filled with pain.

Perhaps she was worried that if he messed around outside, it would affect her little sister's studies.

He quickly shook his head and promised, "Teacher Ye, don't worry. I plan to start looking for a job tomorrow. I will definitely take good care of Ann Xin in the future so that she won't be affected and focus on her studies."

"Is that so?"

Ye Zixuan picked up the teacup again, and the hazy heat covered her face, making it impossible for others to see her expression clearly.

If it was before, she would not have believed Ann Ning's guarantee at all.

In fact, she was not even willing to say anything more to this degenerate bastard.

However, this afternoon, she happened to see Ann Ning hitting his bald head in order to protect his little sister.

Immediately after, she unintentionally heard Ann Ning coaxing her sister to drink the ginger soup.

Two consecutive events had touched her.

To be exact, it had triggered a memory in the bottom of her heart that she had long decided to forget!

"Ann Xin only has you as her only family. If you spend all your time fooling around outside, how could she possibly study? If even you can't take care of her and care for her, who else can she rely on in this world?"

As Ye Zixuan spoke, she put down her teacup and looked at Ann Ning seriously: "I really hope that you can repent and do your duty!"

"Yes, yes, Teacher Ye is right. I have truly changed for the better!"

Although Ye Zixuan looked a year or two younger than him, Ann Ning did not dare to offend her.

After all, his little sister was in her hands.

He could only nod his head and promise, almost swearing.

He seemed to be satisfied with his performance.

Ye Zixuan nodded and said, "Since you are preparing to find a job, I have a ready-made opportunity here."

As she spoke, she took out a notice of admittance from her pocket, which she had obviously prepared beforehand, and pushed it over. "You studied medicine in university, and your grades have always been good. Coupled with Mr. An's reputation in B City, I believe you have a bright future in this industry."

Ann Ning was really surprised this time.

He really did not expect Teacher Ye to know so much about his situation.

What was even stranger was that she happened to have a notice of admittance in her pocket.

He took it and looked at the name on it. Heh, it really was his!

Then he looked at the seal. It was a private clinic called Heavenly Fragrance Medical Apartment.

But the date of enrollment...

How could it be half a year ago?

Unfortunately, Ye Zixuan did not explain too much.

Taking out this late acceptance letter seemed to have used up all of her courage.

When she stood up, her face was somewhat pale.

"Please don't disappoint those who care about you!"

With that, she turned around and walked out of the room.

At the door, she turned her head again, as if she was still unwilling to accept it. "You, really, don't remember me?"

This strange question again!

Ann Ning was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Out of caution, he could only grin.

Yet, he acted like an idiot!

Ye Zixuan turned around and left...
