Chapter 571: Chapter 569 Who’s Coming_1

"Old master, please rest assured, Xingxing is clearly a girl blessed with good fortune. I believe she will definitely be all right," Nanny Wu said as she comforted him, seeing the old master appearing dazed and distracted.

"Yes! She must be all right!" The old master finally showed some reaction, nodding vigorously, his mouth repeating these words over and over.

It was as if as long as he kept saying this, Xia Ningxing would be fine.

After comforting the old master, Nanny Wu hurriedly sent someone to stop Lu Tingli.

But...

It was too late!

In the isolation room, after Xia Ningxing had notified all her friends and relatives, she sat in a chair, thinking of ways to treat the plague.

First of all, she needed to find out who the first infected person was, what they did, what they had come into contact with, and what exactly was the source of the infection.

Otherwise, if they could not cut off the source of the infection from the start, then the number of infected people would only continue to grow incessantly.

Even though she was now isolated, Xia Ningxing could feel that the hospital was swarming with patients, deduced from the messy, dense footsteps, and the countless cries and shouts she heard.

Moreover, if she knew the source of the infection, she would have a direction to work towards instead of aimlessly stumbling around like a headless fly as she was doing now.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but press her painful temples, her mind constantly flipping through the medical books she had read before, to see if there was any similar record in them.

Because of her excellent memory, when Xia Ningxing recalled the contents of the books, it was as if she had a physical book in her mind that she could flip through at will, reciting the content fluently.

Just as Xia Ningxing was searching, someone suddenly knocked on the glass of the isolation room.

Who had come?

Xia Ningxing had to stop the motion of flipping through the book in her mind, then instinctively looked up, her gaze naturally turning towards the person outside the glass.

She wish she hadn’t looked; the moment she saw him, Xia Ningxing’s fists clenched tightly.

"Lu Tingli! What are you doing here! Are you hoping to get infected too?"

Xia Ningxing was extremely angry, rushing to the glass front, her beautiful eyes glared at him fiercely, as if she wished she could burst out and bite him.

Although she had guessed that he might come back, when the moment actually arrived, Xia Ningxing was still furious.

Did this guy even understand how dangerous this plague was?

And yet he dared to come to a place like the hospital!

"Ningxing, I can’t leave you here alone!" Lu Tingli raised his hand, caressing the glass, and faced her fury as if he was completely unaware, only showing her a gentle and affectionate smile.

This glass was made of special material that allowed sound to pass through.

So, after hearing his words, Xia Ningxing’s nose instantly felt sour as if she had stuffed several slices of lemon into it, and the anger in her heart receded like the tide.

How could she not know that he did it out of concern for her?

But how could he not realize that his actions were making her worry so much.

"Lu, stop messing around, hurry back!" Xia Ningxing stretched out her finger and placed it against the glass, lining it up with his hand, urging him anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

The hospital was the place with the highest concentration of the S-type plague virus; the longer he stayed, the greater the chance of him becoming infected.

Could Xia Ningxing not be anxious?

But Lu Tingli shook his head, his tone leaving no room for doubt, "I’m not leaving. I’ve said that I will stay here with you."

"Besides, I might also have been exposed. Going back home would be very dangerous. What if I were to contaminate Chuanchuan and the others at home?" Lu Tingli added.

Without waiting for Xia Ningxing to say anything more, Lu Tingli volunteered to be isolated in the glass room next to Xia Ningxing’s.

"Lu!" Xia Ningxing was moved and exasperated at the same time.

In the end, exasperation took over even more.

She clenched her fists and turned away coldly, "I don’t want to deal with you anymore!"

As she spoke, Xia Ningxing no longer wanted to look at him even one more time.

Yet her cheeks were clearly covered in tears.

Even now, tears kept falling from her eyes.

Such a fool!

Is he sick or what?

Can illness even be shared?

This is just ridiculous!

"Ningxing!" Lu Tingli became anxious, peering intensely through the glass, his bushy eyebrows deeply furrowed, his eyes filled with a plea, "Don’t ignore me!"

Xia Ningxing silently cried and still ignored him.

Not until he had called her several more times did Xia Ningxing finally break down, and rushed toward where he was.

Though in the end, she only crashed into the cold glass, Xia Ningxing felt an unusual warmth in her heart as she looked at the man on the opposite side of the isolation, as if she had thrown herself into his embrace.

She didn’t speak, just lifted her eyes and let the tears fall.

"Don’t cry! Don’t cry!" Seeing her cry was unbearably heart-wrenching for Lu Tingli, and he instinctively raised his hand to wipe away her tears, only to realize that it was in vain.

In the end, his fingertips only touched the cold glass.

He couldn’t help but sigh, comforting her, "Ningxing, please stop crying, it hurts me to see you cry."

"And I can’t even wipe your tears..."

His voice trailed off with a choke.

Xia Ningxing was not a fragile person, but the tears just wouldn’t stop now, flowing like an endless torrent. However, to avoid making him upset, she tried hard to suck in a breath, forcibly holding back any remaining tears.

"Okay! I won’t cry," she promised, her lips trembling.

Lu Tingli caressed her cheek through the glass, "We’ll both be fine."

"If by chance something happens to me, you take Chuanchuan and live well. If something happens to you, then I will join you in infection," Lu Tingli said earnestly and sincerely.

"You’re crazy!" Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but scold him upon hearing this.

Lu Tingli was always a man of his word, so Xia Ningxing didn’t doubt the sincerity of his words at all.

This lunatic could do anything!

The scolded Lu Tingli instead smiled.

If she was gone from this world, what would be the point of anything else?

As evening approached, a fully covered nurse came to draw blood from Xia Ningxing and the others.

This type of S-Type Influenza could be confirmed through specific screening to determine if there was an infection.

So as long as they waited for the results of the blood tests, they could come to a clear and unequivocal conclusion.

"Nurse, please be gentle when drawing blood." Seeing a young nurse drawing Xia Ningxing’s blood, Lu Tingli, who was beside her, furrowed his eyebrows as if he were the one being pricked.

The young nurse nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle."

The young nurse was indeed very gentle, and Xia Ningxing felt hardly any pain before the blood draw was complete.

Afterwards, the young nurse added, "Baby Xing, I’m a fan of yours. I believe you won’t be infected. Hang in there!"

She encouraged Xia Ningxing, her eyes shining brightly above her mask and beneath her goggles.

At a time like this, receiving warmth and encouragement was like receiving timely help in the snow. Xia Ningxing’s throat immediately felt dry, and she nodded at her, "Thank you."
