Li Chunhua was speechless and decided to keep her mouth shut, less she attracted more unwanted attention to her.

Deep down, she was so embarrassed she could die. But looking up at Shao Jingfei's panicked face, she couldn't tell him to put her down anymore.

In the end, she wrapped her arms around his neck while burying her face in his shoulder.

'Strange, are his shoulders always this wide?' Li Chunhua thought inwardly.

She could smell the faint scent of the sun from him, and his arms, which used to support her body, were strong, despite Shao Jingfei's height, almost the same as her.

It made her realize that Shao Jingfei was still a guy even if he looked scrawny. For some reason, she felt self-conscious now.

"Hold on tighter, or you'll fall."

His whole body vibrated ever so slightly when he spoke, and hearing his voice so close tickled her ears.

She tightened her arms around his neck and let him carry her obediently.

Shao Jingfei couldn't find any place to rest except in a few cafes and restaurants. He thought Li Chunhua would be uncomfortable if he brought her there and caused a fuss, so he made her sit on the empty bench of the bus stop. Thankfully, not many people were there around this time.

He crouched in front of her and noticed how pale her face was. Li Chunhua's face overlapped with his sickly mother's face, and it made him even more anxious.

"How do you feel? Did you bring your medicine?"

Li Chunhua's breath was slightly heavy as she answered, "Yeah. It's in my bag."

She tried to open her bag, but her hands trembled hard. Shao Jingfei took it from her and rummaged through it until he found a pill container. He was shocked when he saw the number of her medicines.

"You… drink this many every day?"

Li Chunhua shook her head weakly. "No. Not everything in there has to be consumed every day. Oh, I forgot to bring my water bottle."

Shao Jingfei immediately stood up and shoved the pill case into her hand. "Wait here. I'll run and buy it for you."

Before Li Chunhua could say anything, Shao Jingfei had run to the nearest convenience store across the street. From how rushed and grim his face was, people would think he had just lost his family member.

It didn't take long for him to return with a bottle of mineral water and chocolate bread.

"You haven't eaten anything from the restaurant before. Eat some before you take your medicine."

Shao Jingfei didn't wait for her to agree and had already opened the plastic wrapper for her. Li Chunhua really wasn't in the mood to eat anything, but she couldn't refuse when Shao Jingfei brought the bread to her mouth.

"I can eat it by myself."

"Then you do that." Shao Jingfei gave the bread to her and opened the cap of a mineral water bottle for her.

He stared while she nibbled on the bread. She initially thought she would only take a bite, but under his pressuring gaze, she forced herself to take two more bites before she put them down.

"I can't eat anymore."

"You eat so little. No wonder you are so light. I thought you were only a skeleton when I picked you up."

"Isn't it good? That means you don't have to use too much strength."

"No way. You are too light. It's concerning. Seriously, you never cease to worry me." Shao Jingfei sighed in exasperation before switching her bread in her hand with the water bottle. "Drink your medicine now. Don't delay it anymore."

This time, Li Chunhua didn't argue and gingerly picked some medicine from the pill container and drank it. Shao Jingfei watched her with a somewhat pained expression.

"Does this happen to you a lot?"

"Not really. I have been taking my medication properly, and it hasn't relapsed in a while. But it will sometimes happen when I am challenged mentally or physically."

"So the incident with that guy earlier is the trigger. Then you shouldn't go outside alone. What will you do if you collapse and no one is beside you?"

Li Chunhua chuckled. "Your words are exactly the same as Xiaoyi."

"You still have the energy to laugh? My heart almost stopped working when I saw you almost fall down." Shao Jingfei took her hand and pressed her palm against his chest. "There. Can you feel how fast it beats?"

Li Chunhua was shocked because he grabbed her so suddenly. Usually, she would hate it, but with Shao Jingfei, she strangely wasn't against it. On the contrary, feeling his rapid heartbeat under her hand calmed her down.

Shao Jingfei didn't think much of it at first, but looking at her surprised face, he immediately realized what he was doing and released her hand.

"Oh, sorry."

"No. It's okay. Sorry for making you worry. And thank you for helping me not only once but twice today."

Shao Jingfei didn't expect her to thank him honestly. "You're welcome. Does this mean you are not angry at me anymore?"

"I'm not angry at you. I know what you mean. I just don't like the way you phrase it."

Shao Jingfei grimaced. "My bad. I couldn't control my temper well back then. I understood you were doing it for Caiyi's sake, but I'm sure your sister won't like it if you put yourself in danger for her sake."

Li Chunhua silently listened to his words. "Come to think of it, how come you are there?"

"I just happened to eat in the same place. It was a coincidence I met you there."

"Why didn't you come over and join us then? From how you spoke earlier, it sounded like you have been listening to our conversation for a while."

Shao Jingfei scratched his cheek awkwardly. "Well, you two seemed like you were on a date, so I didn't want to disturb you."

"It's not a date!" Li Chunhua exclaimed with a deep frown on her face. "Do I look like someone who will take an interest in a guy like that?!"

"Why are you getting angry? I just told you what I saw. Isn't it right, though? You guys even watched a movie together, looking all close."
