Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Jiang Rou’s Sinister Scheme 4_1

After it ended, she immediately called out to Xia Ningxing, "Hey! The girl in the blue dress, can you come over here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but look down at their own clothes.

Xia Ningxing also looked down and noticed that she was the only one wearing blue today. She turned around and looked at the unfamiliar girl, "Are you calling me?"

Xia Ningxing was slightly hesitant.

After all, she didn’t know her.

"Yes!" the girl nodded.

Although she didn’t know what it was about, Xia Ningxing still walked over to her, "What do you need me for?"

The girl bit her lip and paused before speaking, "I’m telling you, if you take my place, you’d better dance well! You can’t disgrace our opera troupe, you hear?"

She placed her hands on her hips, looking both fierce and cute.

As soon as she said this, Xia Ningxing understood. She was the teammate that Jiang Rou mentioned who had accidentally twisted her ankle.

Xia Ningxing glanced at her and countered, "You must have seen my dance just now, do you think I will disgrace the opera troupe?"

The girl was at a loss for words.

Xia Ningxing’s dancing was even better than their leader, Jiang Rou; naturally, she wouldn’t bring shame.

Although she thought this, she still pursed her lips and lectured like a big sister, "Although you dance very well, better than me even, you can’t be arrogant and complacent!"

"Understood," Xia Ningxing nodded.

Then she saw the girl in front of her start to feel sorry for herself, "Ah, if it weren’t for my sudden ankle injury, this opportunity to shine wouldn’t have come to you. I have no idea what happened; I just twisted it a bit, but who knew I even injured a tendon. Dr. Jiang said I have to rest for a month before it gets better!"

"Did Jiang Rou treat you?" Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but narrow her eyes and carefully smelled the scent of ointment coming from her body.

This smell...

Something seemed off!

The girl rolled her eyes at her, "Isn’t that obvious? She’s the only doctor at the institute; if not her, then who?"

"Would you mind showing me the ointment she prescribed for you?" Xia Ningxing asked, as if something had occurred to her, a chill flashing in her eyes.

The girl readily nodded, "Why not? We’re heading to the family housing compound together anyway; it’s nice to have company!"

She was part of the opera troupe, but her man was a research staff member at the institute, so instead of living in the troupe’s dormitory, she stayed with her partner in the family housing compound.

On the way out together, Xia Ningxing found the girl to be a cheerful and talkative person, chatting non-stop all along the way until her ears hurt.

"Xiaxia, the second floor, east unit of the third e-shaped apartment building ahead, that’s my home..." Tao Tao pointed out as soon as they reached the building.

Her partner was just an ordinary researcher at the institute, so they could only live in an e-shaped apartment building.

Luckily, it was only on the second floor.

For a healthy person, this floor wasn’t much of a challenge, but it was quite difficult for a girl with an injured foot.

Seeing this, Xia Ningxing offered, "Let me carry you up."

Tao Tao looked at her as if she was joking, and quickly rejected her, "You look so thin and small, probably not even as heavy as me, how could you..." carry me!

But before she could finish, Tao Tao suddenly felt herself lifted off the ground, and indeed, she was.

She was startled at first, then looked up at Xia Ningxing, who was holding her with one hand, and her eyes widened in astonishment.
