"You—"
"When you're sick, you should behave. You sneaked out without a word early that morning. Do you think you slipped out of my sight?"
"..." She felt wronged.
"I hurt you once, and I'm trying to make up for it. Would I hurt you again?"
Su Xiaomeng shifted her gaze away and mumbled softly, "Who knows..."
"Right, who knows. Whoever pretends to be ignorant while knowing the truth is a little troublemaker."
"You're the one pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth, you—"
"Why are you so agitated? Could it be that you're the little troublemaker?"
"I am not!"
Watching Su Xiaomeng argue with him until she was flushed, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
"Don't get so close to me... you might get infected..."
Su Xiaomeng pushed him away.
Yin Shixiu paused, seeing her awkward demeanor, his heart softened, and he pulled her in for a gentle hug, "Little girl, at least let me take care of you until you recover from your illness, okay?"
