“I told you to stop going on!” The man, who had managed to control the heat in his body, now had a more rigid contour compared to the softness from just before, and the rare flush from his neck had also faded. Li Shengxiao drew a piece of paper from the side, released Rong Yan’s hand, and wiped the sweat from her wrist clean.
So tired… Rong Yan was so exhausted she didn’t even have the energy to speak, lying prostrate in her seat. She glanced at him, breathing in short, sharp gasps.
Her right hand didn’t feel like her own anymore, starting to go numb from the wrist, her fingertips were so weary they could barely move.
Clearly, she had just selflessly ‘dedicated’ a long time!
After a brief respite, Rong Yan looked at the man who had recomposed himself and reached out to touch his forehead. It was burning to the touch, just as she had suspected.
“Li Shengxiao, is it a headache attack again? Where’s your medicine, I’ll get it for you,” she asked, concern etching her voice.
The anxious expression of the young woman before him caught in his eyes, the desire in Li Shengxiao’s gaze dissipated, and with it, most of the previous gloominess. His lips brushed together, appearing unconcerned as he pulled away her hand, “I’m fine.”
“You’re running a fever and you call it fine? What, then, would you consider a problem?” Rong Yan was both angry and anxious, stretching out her hand to him, “Where’s your medicine, give it to me. I’ll find you some water!”
As she spoke, she opened the car door next to her.
No sooner had Rong Yan opened the car door than her wrist was grabbed, and she was pulled back.
“I’m really fine,” he insisted.
This time he truly was fine. The pain that used to assault him, giving him unbearable headaches and uncontrollable moods, coupled with inexplicable irritability, wasn’t there. Besides the fever, which was the same as before, everything else was normal! The severe pain that would have been intolerable before now felt as if she had miraculously cured him. It didn’t hurt, not even a bit.
Li Shengxiao gripped her hand with a bit of force.
She was like a medicine heaven-sent just for him. In the depths of his illness, only she could heal!
But Rong Yan misunderstood his intent, thinking that the strength he applied to her wrist was a sign of enduring pain. She suddenly struggled, “Is it hurting again? Let go, if you won’t tell me where the medicine is, I’ll ask Assistant Gu; he must know!”
“He doesn’t know,” Li Shengxiao pulled her back once more, cheerfully straightening her disheveled clothes, lips pursed, “Only Cui Jiangjing and you know about the medicine; no one else does.”
Only Cui Jiangjing and you know about the medicine… Rong Yan paused for a moment, then came to a realization.
Did he mean that no one else, including Gu Ming by his side, knew about his illness? Cui Jiangjing was a doctor, so he knew, but what about her…
Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and she didn’t know where to put her hands or feet, or even how to respond. She could only dryly look at him and blurt out, “I’ll help you get some water.”
You need water to take medicine after all!
Li Shengxiao was thinking the same thing; he had found the unique ‘cure’ in the world for himself and wasn’t in a rush.
His throat bobbed as he released her hand, opened the car’s mini-fridge, “There’s water here!”
Rong Yan saw that there indeed was a row of mineral water inside and felt relieved. Suddenly she remembered something important, “Duidui…”
How could she forget to reply to Duidui’s message after remembering to return his call?
And now she was in trouble.
The little fellow was definitely going to be upset!
