Gong Siyu pretended to be clueless on purpose.
Ji Junxue let out a low laugh, dismissively stretching out his slender, clean hand with a ring in front of him, while the other hand played with the ring on his ring finger.
"Yeah! More than just like. Without me, he'd die."
"..." Gong Siyu seemed unable to keep up the pretense, her mouth twitched.
"You... Junxue... what do you mean?"
"Didn't Jing Che tell you? Maybe you haven't seen the medicine in his coat pocket."
"..." Gong Siyu looked utterly bewildered.
Ji Junxue lowered his hand to rest on his knee, turned his eyes to look at Gong Siyu.
Smiled at her.
As if declaring war, he said, "He said if I dared to leave him, he'd take the pills and die for me to see."
"You're... you're not his brother... are you?"
Ji Junxue deliberately covered his mouth with his hands in disbelief, widened his eyes, and looked at Ji Junxue incredulously.
Ji Junxue extended his hand, this time letting Gong Siyu understand clearly.
