She knew that Shen Nie and Kang Chen had always been at odds, they were sworn enemies to each other in life and death. But she also knew, since Shen Nie had promised her, he wouldn't do anything to harm Kang Chen.
Shen Nie gently patted Ming Mei's head: "Go back, sleep peacefully, rest well, otherwise you won't be able to make it to the border in this state."
"Hmm..."
...
After Shen Nie left, Ming Mei went back.
Guo Dahai saw Ming Mei's swollen eyes and asked, "What happened, have you been crying?"
Ming Mei shook her head: "No, it's just the wind outside. Dust got in."
Guo Dahai was rather dull-witted, as thick as a thigh, so when Ming Mei said that, she actually believed it.
Ming Mei was counting the days; after today, then tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... she could leave.
Throughout this day, Ming Mei tried her best to stabilize her condition, made an effort to eat, and went to bed early, striving to improve her state.
