Xu You looked like he had heard some gossip. "Who are you talking to, Dean Ye?"

"He's a friend of mine." Ning Xi lied without changing his expression.

There was a look on Xu You’s face that said you are kidding me.

"Please, can you find a better excuse next time? This excuse has been overused." After Xu You finished complaining, he started asking for details.

In addition to wanting to know the gossip, he also really wanted to help Ning Xi with some advice.

Ning Xi told her Ye Wuyou's attitude towards her.

After listening to this, Xu You hissed, "I think your boyfriend...ah, your friend's boyfriend, may just have something to hide, something he doesn't want her to know."

Ning Xi's eyebrows jumped.

"Otherwise, look, why would he do that to your friend, right? If he really didn't care, he wouldn't be so anxious even when she fell."

Ning Xi listened to everything Xu You said.

Thinking back to yesterday's events in my mind, without the agitation of emotions, it is easy to notice some details that have been missed, such as Ye Wuyou's eyes, which are different from usual and exude a hint of deathly silence.

It's just that she was so busy feeling wronged and sad yesterday that she didn't even notice it.

She stood up quickly, not even eating, "Thank you, I have something to do now!"

"What's more important than eating? Hey, come back!"

Ning Xi rushed over to see Ye Wuyou.

My heart has never been beating so violently and full of anticipation in my chest as it is now. Yesterday's grievances and sadness seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye, leaving only a heart full of warmth.

She wanted to see him, right now!

Ning Xi stopped suddenly at the corner of the corridor. This was the way to the dean's office, but the person she wanted to meet was not far away.

Ye Wuyou also stopped.

"Dean, this medical project was given to us because of you. If it is completed, the medical environment of our hospital will be greatly improved... Dean, are you listening?"

After calling out several times but getting no response, the man was just about to look towards where Ye Wuyou was looking in confusion.

What could be so beautiful? Could it be more important than the project he was talking about?

Ye Wuyou interrupted him, his tone not allowing for refusal, "I understand, send the project plan to my office later, I will take a look. I have something else to do, so I will leave you alone."

After saying that, Ye Wuyou left behind a large group of people and went away.

He was heading towards Ning Xi.

"Ye Wuyou..." Ning Xi called him, thinking that based on the way the man treated her yesterday, he might not stop.

She is ready to show her cards here.

But, he stopped.

Ye Wuyou turned his head slightly to look at her, his eyes were bottomless, but compared to yesterday, they were less cold and more warm, "Come with me."

Ning Xi subconsciously followed the man in the white coat.

As I walked, I realized that this was the way out of the hospital. I looked at the person in front of me and I realized that he had taken off his white coat at some point and put it on the coat rack in the office. Then he locked the door and held the car keys in his hand.

Ning Xi was surprised, "Are we going out?"

"Well, you have something to tell me, so it's a good opportunity for us to go out for lunch. Have you eaten?" Ye Wuyou seemed to have just remembered and turned around to ask.

Ning Xi shook her head, "No..."

She was so focused on finding him that she put down her meal after only a few bites, which was quite a waste.

After he said that, she seemed to be aroused even though she was not hungry at first.

However, Ye Wuyou did not plan to go out to eat, but went back home. Today was the weekend and Mrs. Sun was not at home, so they could cook for themselves. There happened to be some leftover ingredients in the refrigerator.

Ning Xi took out an unopened bottle of cream and asked, "Would you like cream of mushroom soup?"

A response soon came from the living room.

After getting the man's response, Ning Xi began to prepare the ingredients and planned to make a pot.

Because the dishes to be prepared were not difficult, soon a table of dishes was ready. After all this busyness, Ning Xi almost forgot what she wanted to say. Fortunately, when she saw Ye Wuyou picking up the chopsticks, she remembered it.

"I want to ask you, what happened to your sleepwalking last night? Mrs. Sun said you do that often." Ning Xi asked.

Ning Xi has known Ye Wuyou for quite some time and they have a close relationship, but she has never heard from him or anyone else that he has sleepwalking.

This means that Ye Wuyou has been hiding this matter, and it seems that he has been hiding it for more than just a period of time, at least this situation has lasted for a long time.

Ning Xi couldn't help but worry, "Sleepwalking is not a trivial matter, we can't hide the disease and avoid seeing a doctor..."

"I asked you to come here because of what happened that night. But let's talk about it after dinner." Ye Wuyou said lightly.

Ning Xi certainly didn't want to.

She had a lot of things to say, so she was afraid that she would suffer from indigestion even if she ate the meal.

Although Ye Wuyou's tone was light, it was full of unquestionable determination. Ning Xi hesitated for a while, but still picked up the spoon.

Just as she had expected, the meal was eaten in exceptional silence. This silence did not bring peace, but restlessness, a restlessness that was forcibly suppressed and a kind of calmness that was forced out.

So, it was very uncomfortable to eat.

Ning Xi ate a little bit and couldn't eat anymore. She looked up and saw Ye Wuyou wiping his mouth. He didn't eat much either, so he must have been unable to eat anymore.

Ning Xi just put down the spoon and said, "You can tell me now."

After looking at the man's expression and seeing no obvious resistance, she took a deep breath and said, "I know you may have something to hide, but we have known each other for such a long time, and we can be considered as close friends."

"You already know everything about me, so why do you have to hide it now? I'm not a child anymore, so it's okay for me to know a little bit. You don't have to hide it from me. Okay, I've finished, it's your turn."

Hearing this, Ye Wuyou was silent for a long time.

He had long guessed that Ning Xi would find out something was wrong very quickly after returning and then come to ask him.

He had imagined this scene countless times before it happened, including her expression and what she would say. He had played it all over in his mind over and over again, wondering what she would say and what she would do, and whether it would be the same as he thought.

"I used to be... a medicine man who was under someone's supervision. You can think of me as a kind of slave." After Ye Wuyou said this, he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was lightened a lot.

It turned out that confessing was not as difficult as he thought.

However, all the credit should go to Ning Xi. If it weren't for what she just said, he might never have said these things in his life.

Ning Xi was speechless at this time. She opened her eyes wide, and confusion and doubt flashed in her eyes, and finally turned into disbelief.

"slave?"
