Xiangxiu called out to her,

"Just wait for me."

She then grabbed the paper bag and ran quickly back to the yard. Watching her happy figure, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but a sense of guilt arose in her heart.

She originally just wanted to take this opportunity to prove to Xiangxiu that she had no other feelings for Nie Yuan, but she never expected that Xiangxiu would be so happy.

If Xiangxiu knew that the bag of osmanthus cakes wasn't meant for her by Nie Yuan at all, she would be very angry, wouldn't she?

In the blink of an eye, Xiangxiu ran out of the courtyard, shoving two milk candies into her hand, and then a sachet into her hand as well.

"Take this milk candy home and eat it. My uncle brought it for me. He said that young girls in the city all like to eat it. And this sachet is for the person who bought the pastries!"

Looking at the two milk candies and the sachet, Lan Zhi nodded somewhat guiltily.

"Thank you, I'll head back now. I'll make sure I take the things with me."

After leaving those words behind, she fled towards home, not daring to look back.

It was getting late, and she was exhausted and hungry, but she held the two milk candies tightly in her hand, reluctant to eat them.

She wanted to save it for Mo Ning to eat with when he woke up; he probably hadn't eaten this for several years!

She suddenly chuckled to herself. She, a modern person, had been transported to ancient times and was now living such a miserable life, unable to even afford a piece of candy. She truly felt that she was the most unlucky time traveler.

But it seemed she had no other choice. Besides her medical skills, strength, and martial arts, she had no other abilities.

A master of medicine?

Yes, she has excellent medical skills. Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea.

She couldn't just sit and wait to die. Even if Aunt Mo came back in a little over a month, she might not be able to get the money back. Even if she could, she had to make sure that she and Mo Ning could survive for the next month.

Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to rush home. She needed to discuss this matter with Xiaoxin first. She had to get Xiaoxin's consent and make sure Xiaoxin provided her with the necessary assistance.

With this idea in mind, she became quite excited, and her steps were much lighter than before.

When she got home, Xiaoxin was watching Mo Ning intently, not daring to leave her side for even a moment.

"Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin."

She called out, and Xiaoxin turned around, her eyes flickering a few times.

"Xiao Xin is here. What are your orders, Master?"

She gave Xiaoxin a big smile.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Please speak, Master."

"Well... it's like this, we don't have much money left at home. I'm thinking of trying to treat patients and earn some money once Mo Ning's hand has recovered enough. What do you think?"

After pondering for a while, Xiaoxin returned.

"Xiao Xin dares not get involved in her master's affairs."

"This is not my business."

She looked at it with a pleading expression.

"I need your help."

"Please speak, Master."

"Exactly, can you provide me with medicine?"

Xiao Xin remained silent, then hurriedly explained.

"The main problem is that I don't have the money to pay tribute with these ancient medicinal herbs. These ancient herbs are slow to take effect, so the profits are naturally slow as well. If you can provide me with medicine, I can try to earn money by treating other people."

"What benefits would that bring to Xiaoxin?"

Xiao Xin's question left Lan Zhi both amused and exasperated, but she answered seriously:

"If I could go back to my past life, I would implant a human emotional chip in your brain, and then invent a boyfriend for you so you could work and live together every day, how about that?"

Although it was unlikely to happen, Xiaoxin still nodded slowly twice.

"Okay, Xiaoxin is willing to help you."

Lan Zhi happily stepped forward and patted Xiao Xin's head.

"That's so kind of you, Xiaoxin. Thank you for watching over him tonight. I'm going to sleep now."

"Why does Master's man need Xiaoxin to guard him?"

This……

Ever since she implanted a chip into Xiaoxin's human brain, Xiaoxin has become a robot that is sometimes rebellious.

Sometimes it is obedient and docile, sometimes it is irritable, sometimes it wants to control everything, and sometimes it is too lazy to say a word.

If it weren't for her colleague angering Xiao Xin in her past life, the laboratory wouldn't have exploded, and she wouldn't have transmigrated here.

Therefore, she understood Xiaoxin's personality. Sometimes, she knew she had to avoid angering or going against her and instead try to coax her.

She cleared her throat and said in an extremely gentle voice:

"Because Xiaoxin feels sorry for her master, she knows that her master is very tired after a six-hour surgery and needs to rest. If something happens to her master, Xiaoxin will also disappear from this world with her master. That's why Xiaoxin is asked to protect her master's man!"

After going around in circles, Xiao Xin didn't seem to understand much, but after its eyes blinked a few times, it nodded twice.

"Xiao Xin understands, Master can go and rest."

Lan Zhi then patted Xiao Xin's head with satisfaction, praised it again, and turned to leave.

She was really tired and sleepy.

She had forgotten that she hadn't eaten all day, and she had forgotten that she was hungry. She went straight into the house, lay down on the bed fully clothed, and fell asleep immediately.

Three days later, Mo Ning finally woke up. The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to ask a question.

"I'm alive?"

Lan Zhi raised her hand and touched his forehead, then nodded.

"Live, otherwise why would I die with you?"

He asked again,

Will my hand recover?

She nodded again.

"The surgery was successful, but there will be a month of recovery time."

"I……"

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm hungry."

Although we've been giving him glucose and protein for the past two days, he must feel empty inside because he hasn't been eating.

She took out the milk candy that Xiangxiu had given her from her bosom and waved it in front of him.

"Milk candy, when you put it in your mouth, can satisfy your cravings and stop your hunger."

Where did you get it?

He guessed that she wouldn't be willing to buy snacks.

"Xiangxiu gave it to me."

"You eat it, I don't like sweets."

It's not that he doesn't like to eat it, it's that he's reluctant to eat it.

She reached into her pocket, took out another piece of candy, and waved it in front of him again.

“I knew you would say that. I won’t let you eat it all by yourself. There’s still one left. Let’s each have one.”

He still shook his head, refusing to listen.

"you eat first."

Lan Zhi smiled helplessly, then put the peeled candy into her own mouth, and then peeled another piece and put it into his mouth.

"Is this okay?"

He then nodded with the piece of candy in his mouth.

"We share blessings and share hardships."

She suddenly burst out laughing.

"You sound like two people about to become sworn brothers. How about adding, 'We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year.'"

"Do not."

He suddenly shook his head with a serious expression.

"I want you to live well, and not say things like that."

She raised her hand and pinched his chin, giggling:

"Okay, I know what I'm going to say again is that you might die any day and you don't want to drag me down with you, right?"

Her blunt words made him blush.

She patted his cheek and comforted him:

"Don't worry, you'll live a good life until you die, believe me."

"really?"
