Teacher Ai Li's reaction didn't surprise Lu Xiao. In fact, she was a little touched. 'Only someone who truly cares about me would get this worked up.'
Lu Xiao put down what she was holding and went to hug her. "I know I need to rest, but his condition is rather serious. He needs one more Spiritual Soothing session to stabilize him, otherwise all my previous effort will have been for nothing. Teacher Ai Li, please believe me. I'm really not messing around with my health. I'm scared of dying, too."
Teacher Ai Li found herself unable to refuse this half-coaxing, half-explanatory attitude. "All right, then. Just this once!"
Seeing Teacher Ai Li agree, Lu Xiao smiled and nodded. "You're the best, Teacher Ai Li! I knew you'd say yes!"
"Stop flattering me. I just can't bear to see you upset!"
Lu Xiao chuckled and quickly finished her breakfast. The food wasn't particularly good.
And this was a meal specially prepared just for her and Teacher Ai Li.
