A few minutes later, Pei Ke took the thermometer to the doctor.

"Young man, the girl is being affectionate with you. If you're so clueless, she might run off with someone else." The uncle in the white coat smiled kindly and examined the thermometer under the light.

"It's almost 39 degrees Celsius, we need to give her two IV drips." She said, taking two bottles of medicine from the medicine cabinet behind her.

Pei Ke stood still, glancing back at Su Xun, who was looking down, his eyes darkening.

She's already run off with someone else, what should I do?

He sighed inwardly.

It was past 10 p.m. when they finished the two IV drips. Pei Ke carried the medicine prescribed by the doctor in one hand and skillfully held Su Xun's hand with the other as they walked out.

A gust of cold wind hit Su Xun's face, causing her to shiver and tremble. The temperature difference between day and night had been significant lately; a long-sleeved shirt was sufficient during the day, but a jacket was needed at night.

Pei Ke sensed the movement behind him, squeezed his cold hands, and turned around. "Cold?"

Su Xun nodded gently, "Go back quickly, it won't be cold when you get back."

Before he could finish speaking, the warm, large hand that had been holding his palm suddenly pulled away, and the plastic bag that had just contained the medicine was stuffed into his hand.

"Here you go." Then she took off her coat and gently draped it over her petite body.

Su Xun felt a delicate fragrance emanating from Pei Ke envelop her, and then a pair of hands wrapped around her shoulders. She was then covered by a coat, and the two were very close. She could see the boy's long eyelashes, which cast a small shadow under his eyes.

The boy's face quickly disappeared, and she regained some warmth. The boy's body still lingered in her clothes, and she was somewhat stunned.

"you……"

"Shut up, do you think this is the time to be polite with me?" He interrupted Su Xun fiercely, afraid of hearing something he didn't want to hear.

Then he took Su Xun's hand again and walked forward.

Only when he sensed the girl's obedience behind him did his previously cold expression soften.

He's gone mad. He's acting like one of those villains who take advantage of others' misfortunes. He knows he has no right to do these things anymore, yet he still can't help but let himself step into the abyss.

He inwardly berated himself, and gradually increased the pressure in his hands, leaving red marks on Su Xun's fair hand.

"Pei Ke, you're using too much force." Su Xun felt a little uncomfortable and tugged at the large hands that were wrapped around her.

The pressure on his hand suddenly lessened.

"When did you and him start?" he asked slowly after a long time.

His voice was somewhat muffled at night, carrying a distinctive chill.

"Um?"

"What are you pretending to be stupid with me for? You're not even willing to talk to me?" His tone suddenly turned harsh, full of impatience, a stark contrast to his gentle and considerate manner just moments before.

"And last night, even though you have a boyfriend, why did you still treat me like that..." He paused, seemingly a little ashamed to say it, "Why did you still treat me like that?"

He stopped in his tracks, his breath unsteady. "Su Xun, you're not a child anymore. If you dare to do something, you should know the consequences."

She was still wondering when she got a boyfriend when she stopped behind Pei Ke and blurted out, "What are the consequences?"

One question after another arose in her mind, and for a moment her heavy mind couldn't quite process it. What had she done that was so serious that she had to bear the consequences?

Suddenly, a dark shadow descended in front of me, carrying a familiar fragrance. Something cool and soft landed on my lips, then remained still after touching them, before gently caressing them for a moment.

My already chaotic mind went completely blank, with only one thought in my mind: the scent surrounding my nose was exactly the same as the fragrance of my coat.

The moment he touched the girl's soft lips, he felt his earlobes practically burn. He instinctively wanted to pull away, but the girl's nonchalant attitude just now annoyed him. He punished her by biting her lower lip and then pulled away.

He turned around, his breathing unsteady, slightly panting, his eyes filled with a thick mist, as if trying to blend into the surrounding darkness.

He had wanted to do this for a long time. When they were together before, he was careful because she was still young and he was afraid of scaring her. But after meeting her this semester, every time he saw her calm and collected demeanor, he wanted to bully her.

Seeing the boy next to her, he was angry, but he could only accept it helplessly. She didn't like him anymore, so what could he do?

She appeared repeatedly, talking to him and being affectionate with him as if nothing had happened, and even last night...

The string in his heart snapped; he was indeed still very concerned.

I don't have a boyfriend.

After recovering from the shock, the two large bottles of medicine finally took effect, and her mind slowly cleared. She finally understood what Pei Ke meant earlier.

“I don’t have a boyfriend,” she repeated.

"Stop lying. I never knew you liked to lie so much before." His voice was a little unsteady. "In that photo, anyone can see that the boy in the photo cares about you a lot."

photo?

Her mind immediately realized what the photo he was talking about was. The photo of her profile on the first day of school had been all over the place, and the only boy standing next to her was Bai Yuanchuan.

"There's nothing between us, we were just classmates."

"We were in the same class."

Su Xun noticed that Pei Ke's voice sounded muffled, as if he was suppressing something. She walked directly up to him and said, "You've been angry with me for so long because of this? And you're pretending not to know me."

As soon as she walked up to the person, she noticed a pair of red eyes, and upon seeing her, she immediately turned her head away awkwardly.
