It's like they're ready to grab something at any moment.
Those deep, dark eyes.
He was staring at her intently at that moment.
It was filled with an overwhelming sense of worry and lingering fear.
Yan Ning's lips moved slightly.
My throat was dry and tight, and my voice was low and hoarse.
"I...I'm...unconscious?"
She tried to recall, but all she remembered was the blinding sunlight and intense dizziness.
And then... I don't know anything anymore.
"You're awake."
When Xie Huaiye saw that Yan Ning had woken up, a clear look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He immediately moved closer and replied:
"Yes, you fainted as soon as you reached the sedan chair. I quickly pulled you in; if I had been any later, you might have fallen out."
Yan Ning smiled faintly, "Well then, thank you so much..."
Xie Huaiye's eyes were filled with tenderness, and his voice was very soft:
"Why thank me? You saved everyone on the Ferris wheel. We should be thanking you."
"It's nothing, saving lives is what I should do..."
Yan Ning moved her body, trying to sit up, and Xie Huaiye hurriedly stepped forward to help her raise the hospital bed.
Yan Ning took a breath and leaned against the raised headboard, her face still pale.
But I feel a bit better.
She looked at her hands, which were wrapped in thick gauze like two small rice dumplings.
It looks kind of funny.
Xie Huaiye sat on the chair by the bed, his eyes glued to Yan Ning.
"Are you thirsty?" he asked, his voice deep and pleasant.
Yan Ning had just nodded, but hadn't had a chance to speak yet.
Xie Huaiye had already stood up.
He walked to the water dispenser and picked up a water cup.
I poured in some hot water, shook it, poured it out, and then added warm water.
The movements were a bit...clumsy?
Unlike his usual smooth and effortless signing of contracts worth hundreds of millions.
He carefully carried the water glass back.
"Drink slowly," he said in a low voice.
He brought the water glass to Yan Ning's lips.
Yan Ning wanted to take it herself.
As soon as I raised my hand, it touched the gauze, and I hissed in pain.
"Don't move." Xie Huaiye's brows furrowed immediately.
He held the cup steadily at the bottom, tilting it slightly.
Water gradually moistened Yan Ning's chapped lips.
Yan Ning sipped her drink.
The warm water felt much better as it slid down my throat.
She could smell a faint scent of disinfectant mixed with cedar on him.
The two were standing very close.
Xie Huaiye lowered his head, staring intently at the water glass, his long eyelashes drooping.
Yan Ning's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
