Teacher Ai Li and the others didn't understand how Lu Xiao could be so devoted to a single person. In turn, Lu Xiao couldn't quite understand how they could like so many people at once.
She felt her energy was both abundant and finite. Abundant, because there was so much more to life than just males, so many vibrant things waiting for her to do. Finite, because she couldn't waste her entire life managing relationships.
The more people in a home, the more conflicts there would be to resolve.
The mere thought gave her a headache.
That morning, on the first day their clinic was open, Teacher Ai Li and the others also threw themselves into their work while Lu Xiao attended to her patients.
What surprised Lu Xiao, however, was that when she finished her work for the morning and returned to the office for lunch, the other three, led by Teacher Ai Li, were all deathly pale.
They looked as if they had endured some form of torture.
