'Yiran... Yiran…
'Why is it that all I can think of right now is her name, face, and voice?
'Why does her not loving and not wanting me make me so desperate?’
He was as desperate as a drowning man losing his last lifeline!
It hurt… so much that he could hardly breathe!
There was the sound of the door opening and footsteps could be heard approaching. Then, there were sounds of things being put down.
'Is she back?' She went out to get him medicine in the middle of the night, just like she had done before.
Back then when he opened his eyes and looked at her, it was the first time he had felt something like butterflies in his stomach.
Perhaps he had fallen for her from then on!
"Come, take the medicine. It'll make you feel better." Her voice rang in his ears, and a hand was helping him up.
His nose picked up her scent as his eyes opened slowly. He then caught sight of that comely face.
The emptiness he felt was suddenly being filled up little by little.
His face grew paler, and even his lips seemed pale.
'Over? Will it... really be over?
'If it's really over between us, then I…' The thought that passed through his mind froze him.
"It's up to you to take the medicine," said Ling Yiran as she put the medicine and water on the bedside table. Then, she turned around and grabbed a few things—namely a pillow, blanket, and a chair. She found a comfortable position and chose to rest there for the night.
Yi Jinli stared at the woman in the chair who had her eyes closed. After a while, he finally reached out, took the medicine on the bedside table, and swallowed the pills with water.
