Xiao Yu was desperately hungry, having not eaten since last night. She was so dizzy from hunger that she feared she wouldn't last until Gong Ting appeared, and ended up buying a sandwich from a nearby snack shop.
The sandwich tasted terrible, but to maintain her strength, she forced herself to eat it. Just as she took a bite, a shadow loomed overhead, and she instinctively looked up.
She found herself staring into eyes full of rage. Stunned, she choked on the sandwich and coughed violently, spitting it out in a very disheveled manner.
Gong Ting stood before her, watching her cough excessively. His hand, resting at his side, lifted slightly but ultimately didn't reach out. He fixed a cold gaze on her.
Xiao Yu's eyes were teary from coughing, and she rummaged through her bag for a tissue but couldn't find one.
Seeing her in such a sorry state, Gong Ting finally relented and pulled out a handkerchief from his suit pocket, handing it to her.
