"Mm."
Xiao Xiao nodded with a smile.
"I'm going out."
"Please look after Chen Xi for me."
"Of course."
Ruan Nuan nodded.
Then she realized what he'd said.
"You're going out?"
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao's lips curved slightly.
"I was entrusted with something, so I'll see it through."
Ruan Nuan understood.
Chen Xi had indeed come to Master Xiao with something she wanted him to do.
She opened her mouth.
She wanted to ask him about it.
But in the end, she swallowed her questions.
There wasn't time for them to chat slowly now.
She could still clearly picture how anxious Chen Xi had looked.
"Master Xiao."
"Don't worry."
"Leave Chen Xi to me."
Ruan Nuan paused.
Then she added, "As for what Chen Xi asked you to do..."
"Please do your best to help her."
So far, at least, Master Xiao had agreed to the girl's request.
That was a good start.
She just didn't know exactly what the matter was...
Would Master Xiao have trouble dealing with it?
But since he'd agreed, he must be fairly confident, right?
"I'll do my best."
Xiao Xiao nodded with a smile.
He turned and walked to the entryway. After changing his shoes, he said goodbye to Ruan Nuan again, then left the apartment.
Ruan Nuan stood there in a daze for a moment.
Then she walked toward the girl.
But halfway there, she changed direction.
"Chen Xi."
"Here's a towel for you."
Ruan Nuan handed the girl the towel she'd just fetched from the bathroom.
"Wipe your face."
"You'll feel better."
The girl reached out and took the towel.
It was warm.
That was her first impression.
She covered her face with it.
It felt so comfortable.
The girl couldn't help narrowing her eyes
