If Qiao Muting wants to explain the truth to her, he might first need to explain his "strange illness".

"I... Xiaoran, before answering your question, may I ask you a question first?"

Qian Lai blinked her big eyes curiously and nodded.

Do you consider us friends?

"certainly."

What kind of friend?

What kind of friend?

Friends who are naked together?

Qian Lai couldn't figure out what answer he really wanted.

Are they friends who can trust each other?

Qiao Muting's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"certainly."

"If I told you a secret about me, a secret that no one else knows but me, would you keep it a secret for me?"

"Of course. Is it a secret about your body?"

Qiao Muting was surprised and shocked!

How can she be so smart?

"I don't know when it started or why, but I have a violent reaction whenever I come into contact with the opposite sex."

At first, it was just chest tightness and shortness of breath. As the illness progressed, it gradually worsened.

Later, any skin contact would cause dark purple patches to appear all over the body, followed by difficulty breathing.

"But what about us?"

He didn't react at all even after we got too intimate several times.

Qiao Muting's expression turned inscrutable: "Until I met you. You're different from everyone else. On the contrary, I feel happy and content whenever I'm around you. I even... crave it."

He was too embarrassed to speak, and his cheeks turned bright red!

"If you hadn't been by my side when I fell ill on the train, I probably would have suffocated to death."

I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner. I shouldn't have kept it from you. But I just couldn't bring myself to say it.

He felt frustrated and ashamed.

"So, when you kissed and hugged me on the train, it was all to relieve your symptoms?"

"Posting a missing person ad is also so that they can find me, the antidote, and keep me by their side for any eventuality?"

Qian Lai was slightly annoyed.

I originally thought that the reason the other party was so eager to publish a notice in the newspaper to find me was because they had feelings for me.

I've seriously considered whether I should develop a romantic relationship with him without any responsibility. After all, he has an unparalleled good appearance, and I shouldn't waste it.

But later, her conscience bothered her, and she thought that she was bound to leave anyway, so why let the other person fall deeply in love, only to end up hurting them?

That's why he pretended to be reserved and kept his distance.

Good heavens, it turns out the person who advertised in the newspaper wasn't looking for a lover, but for medicinal herbs!

"I'll do it myself, Dr. Qiao." Qian Lai turned around, as if to snatch the towel.

Qiao Muting didn't let go. He squatted down and explained nervously, "I never intended to use you as an antidote. I'm saying this just to let you know that other women are poison to me; I can't even touch them."

So, this time, Fang Wenxue forcibly pulled me, hugged me, and got too close to me. That's why I had a relapse.

I never expected you to save me like this again.

"Xiaoran, don't you think there's some kind of magical fate between us?"
