Lu Youting didn't respond to her with the warmth he used to, just letting her hug him for a while. After she had stabilized a bit emotionally, he slowly pulled away.
"The doctor said you were in the icy water for too long, which led to cold invading your body. Consequently, you might experience varying degrees of discomfort or even pain in your joints. How are you feeling now?"
Jian Si, filled with joy, didn't feel any discomfort at all.
"I'm not in pain, and I'm not cold. I'm fine!"
Afraid that she was lying to prevent him from worrying, Lu Youting solemnly asked again, "Are you really okay?"
Jian Si nodded vigorously, "It doesn't hurt, not at all with you by my side."
Lu Youting's heart, already battered and bruised, felt like it was sprinkled with salt, intensifying the pain nearly to the point of suffocation.
He couldn't understand what Jian Si really meant.
She was already with Ji Mingche, yet she was saying these ambiguously intimate things to him.
