Because of the long, fast running, he was drenched in sweat, panting heavily.
Gong Shirao suddenly thought of the time a few months ago when they were together in Yuxi Town; she fell into the water, and he saved her, carried her on his back a long, long way, under the pouring rain for a prolonged time...
He had also gone to find her when she got lost in the fields, completely drenched by the rain. Yet, he rarely panted heavily.
Her heart seemed to tighten as well, she instinctively started to take deep breaths.
It took quite a while before she remembered something, stretched out her right hand, and slowly yet firmly brushed away his hand from her left wrist.
"Doctor Zhan, what do you want to say to me?"
Zhan Nanjue looked at her with a complex expression, and finally asked, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Gong Shirao's body slightly stiffened, then calmly retorted to him, "I don't understand why I have to say goodbye to you?"
