"Really?"
"Mm."
"Okay!"
Su Xiaomeng immediately gobbled down her half bowl of porridge in a few big gulps! She reached out to grab the noodles but found the bowl empty, not even any broth left!
"Ren Yixuan!" Su Xiaomeng was furious, lunging forward to pinch him, but before her hand reached him, her stomach churned, and she dashed into the bathroom to throw up all the porridge she had eaten.
Ren Yixuan was truly scared this time, standing by her and gently patting her back, "What's going on?"
Su Xiaomeng was feeling unwell, her stomach was nauseous again, and thinking of how Ren Yixuan tricked her just now, she felt wronged and glared at him with tears in her eyes,
"I told you I didn't want to eat! But you insisted! Now I've thrown it all up!"
Ren Yixuan pressed his lips together, looking at her pale face, his heart tightened, and his expression turned grim as he reached up to touch her forehead, finding it covered in cold sweat.
"Don't bother me, you bully! All you know is how to take advantage of me! Now that I'm sick, it's even easier for you to push me around!"
Su Xiaomeng started throwing a tantrum.
"Su Xiaomeng! Stop fussing! Rinse your mouth first!"
"You're still scolding me..."
Ren Yixuan looked at her teary, pitiful face and sighed, eventually picking her up.
A wave of dizziness hit, and Su Xiaomeng almost threw up again!
She was placed on the sofa.
Ren Yixuan grabbed a coat from the side to put on her.
"Wh-what are you doing?"
"Going to the hospital!"
"I'm not going! It's just a cold, nothing serious! Stop bullying me, I'll be better in a bit!" Su Xiaomeng's fingers clung tightly to the sofa seams, completely uncooperative with Ren Yixuan.
Ren Yixuan was never one for patience, he had already tolerated her enough on normal days, and now seeing her so fragile, he was even more irritable!
He pried her fingers off one by one, forcibly got her coat on, scarf tied, hat in place, shoes on...
"Ren Yixuan, you're just like my dad... Ow! You hit me!"
Ren Yixuan gave her a glaring look again.
"But my dad would never hit me... Ren Yixuan, can't I just listen to you... It's so cold outside and snowing, let's not go out? Maybe I'll be better tomorrow... cough cough..."
Ren Yixuan ignored her, proceeded to call a cab, put on his coat, and grabbed his wallet.
Seeing he was serious, Su Xiaomeng's heart trembled, "I'm dizzy... I can't move... really..."
She meant it sincerely, after sleeping all afternoon and throwing up just now, she had no energy left.
Ren Yixuan reached up to touch her forehead again, still covered in cold sweat.
"I really don't want to go to the hospital..."
Ren Yixuan sighed, squatted in front of her, reached out to hold her in his arms and lightly patted her, gently comforting, "I'll be with you, let's just go check it out at the hospital to set my mind at ease, okay? If there's nothing serious, we'll come right back; if you need to stay for an IV drip, I'll stay with you."
Su Xiaomeng pressed her head against his chest, listening to his pleasant voice, feeling a tickle in her heart.
Seeing she was no longer resisting, Ren Yixuan let her crawl onto his back.
As they left the office, a blast of cold air hit them, prompting Su Xiaomeng to press her entire face against Ren Yixuan's back.
Ren Yixuan tucked her hands, which were wrapped around his neck, into his shirt, pressing them against his innermost layer of clothing.
He was dressed less warmly than Su Xiaomeng, without a hat or gloves, so as soon as they stepped out, the wind and snow turned his cheeks and ears bright red.
Su Xiaomeng was feeling a bit weak, but she was still fully conscious...
