Everything went back to nordays were in the past and the days that folloere peaceful Xia Lei went to work at theplant every day and went home punctually Other than the time spent at work or the required a electrical engineering and his fraent lathe that Josef was researching
Every tiineering, Xia Lei would use it on his stored ent lathe to understand the structure and purpose of those circuits Hi Josef’s intelligent s in his head were not just drawings anys
The days were peaceful and fulfilling but he also had a bit of trouble
This bit of trouble was Annina
After the whole chain of events, she had found out that he was a ‘ persistently at the wall
It was unstandable why she was like this
She had suddenly sters on the head, risking his own life to save her This entle and conscientious - how could she let go of this great and beautiful encounter? So what if he had a wife? Married couples got divorced every day on this Earth, right?
Swing the hoe well and no wall shall stand!
This popular phrase in China was fairly applicable to Annina, and that hat she did
“Lukas, don’t ine
Xia Lei looked up at Annina fro the screith a bewildered expression “What is it?”
Annina took off her gloves and removed a white towel from around her neck, then drew close and wiped Xia Lei’s face, saying as she wiped, “You got engine grease on your face I’ll wipe it for you”
“I’ll do it myself,” said Xia Lei aardly
“No, don’t ine
Xia Lei was extre his face for hi her wipe his ear, could he?

Josef had been warded for a whole month and if he had not had Xia Lei and that pair of tweezers, he would have been in a coffin
“He doesn’t like me and sees oing to say that?”
Xia Lei nodded “Isn’t it?”
“Him and me are impossible I’ve always treated him like an older brother How can I marry someone I see as my older brother? That’s not love,” said Annina, “There is soh I want to be with him, but… he’s married What should I do?”
Xia Lei cleared his throat He didn’t dare to respond to those words
“Come with me to the hospital Josef says he wants to thank you personally” Annina stopped teasing Xia Lei; she felt that he was in quite a pitiable position, actually
“Okay, I’ll go with you,” said Xia Lei ‘That intelligent lathe’s most important part is its CNC When will Josef be able to finish that up after he’s discharged? I hope he coht
