Huo Jinning raised her head, her gaze meeting Fu Qinian's, who was right in front of her, without any obstruction.
Fu Qinian's face was full of seriousness, and his eyes revealed a hint of heartache as he stared intently at her.
Huo Jinning's heartbeat instantly became rapid, pounding wildly like a startled deer, and the speed was getting faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Huo Jinning moved Fu Qinian's hand away, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her inner turmoil and shyness.
"I...I'm fine now." Huo Jinning's voice was barely audible, her cheeks flushed red, and she didn't dare to look Fu Qinian in the eye.
"That's good. If you're hungry, you can have something to eat."
Fu Qinian keenly sensed Huo Jinning's embarrassment, so he took the initiative to change the subject to avoid making her feel awkward or uncomfortable.
Although he thoroughly enjoyed seeing Huo Jinning's adorable blushing and heart-pounding expression, he also understood that everything should be done in moderation.
Fu Qinian took out a blueberry-flavored cake that he had prepared beforehand and placed it on the table.
"Cake?" Huo Jinning's gaze was immediately drawn to the exquisite blueberry cake, her eyes sparkling with surprise, and her previous strange emotions were instantly forgotten.
Without hesitation, she reached out and took the cake, eagerly opened the box, and began to eat it with relish.
Meanwhile, Fu Qinian, sitting to the side, deliberately picked up another mango-flavored cake and leisurely began to savor it.
Having learned from their previous experience of eating cake together, Fu Qinian deliberately prepared two different flavors this time.
"They even have mango flavor!" Huo Jinning's gaze inadvertently drifted to the cake that Fu Qinian was enjoying.
The fork she was holding involuntarily fell onto the cake, and she immediately took a liking to the piece of cake in front of Fu Qinian.
"Would you like to try some?" Fu Qinian asked softly with a smile after noticing Huo Jinning's little gesture, while cutting off a small piece of cake with his fork.
"Mmm-hmm!" Huo Jinning nodded hurriedly in response, her eyes never leaving Fu Qinian's cake for even a moment.
Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Qinian used a fork to feed Huo Jinning the cut cake.
"Mmm...so delicious~" Huo Jinning chewed the cake in her mouth with satisfaction, her face beaming with happiness and contentment.
"Can I have another bite?" Huo Jinning gestured slightly with her free hand, indicating just a little bit.
Fu Qinian didn't say anything, but his actions made his stance clear—he forked off another piece of cake and handed it to Huo Jinning.
"Thank you~" After getting her wish, Huo Jinning also shared her blueberry cake with Fu Qinian: "Try mine too!"
So the two of them took turns tasting each other's cake, one bite at a time, until they had finished both pieces.
Before long, Huo Jinning began to scratch her neck, arms and other exposed areas incessantly, and patches of red rashes gradually appeared in visible places.
"Are you having an allergic reaction?" Fu Qinian noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern.
"Probably not, I haven't come into contact with anything that would cause an allergy," Huo Jinning replied nonchalantly, but the red rash on her body became more and more dense.
Fu Qinian quickly rummaged through the medicine box in the car for allergy medication and said to her, "Take two of these first, and then I'll apply some ointment for you."
He squeezed the ointment onto a cotton swab and carefully applied it to Huo Jinning's exposed skin.
At the same time, he also reminded Li Mo to exit at the nearest highway exit and go to the nearby hospital.
However, Huo Jinning seemed unconcerned and even tried to stop them from going to the hospital.
But in the end, it didn't work out.
"Lift your chin up a little," Fu Qin said softly.
Huo Jinning obediently raised her chin.
"Wow, it really works! It feels cool after applying it, and the itching has been significantly reduced," Huo Jinning said with delight.
Fu Qinian could only try his best to wipe the ointment all over her exposed skin, but he was powerless to do anything about other areas that were difficult to treat.
"I'll close my eyes, and you can apply the medicine to the other areas as well," Fu Qinian's deep voice rang out.
"How about we go to the hospital later? I can still manage," Huo Jinning said, her face flushed and somewhat embarrassed.
"Alright, let's apply some more to the stomach and calves first, that will make it feel better," Fu Qin said softly.
"Okay, sure." Huo Jinning nodded obediently, then gently lifted her clothes.
Looking at the red rash on Huo Jinning's body, Fu Qinian's previous romantic thoughts vanished instantly, leaving only a deep sense of heartache.
He carefully applied the ointment to Huo Jinning's stomach and calves, his movements gentle and meticulous, as if afraid of hurting her.
Not long after, they got off the highway and went to the nearest hospital.
Huo Jinning's health condition worsened. She developed a fever as soon as she arrived at the hospital, and the areas where she hadn't received medication became increasingly severe.
After a series of examinations, Huo Jinning was kept in the hospital to receive intravenous fluids.
Fu Qinian stood aside, looking at Huo Jinning, who was pale on the hospital bed, and felt full of regret.
If he had known earlier that Huo Jinning was allergic to mangoes, he wouldn't have prepared mango-flavored food.
That's why she suffered such immense pain.
Huo Jinning herself was unaware that this body was allergic to mangoes.
When Huo Jinning saw Fu Qinian's remorseful expression, she felt somewhat guilty and extremely embarrassed.
