Chapter 66: Can Chu Yiqin Also Smile?

Qin Mo let out a deep sigh, and once she sat down, she seemed to come back to life.

Her whole body was soft, leaning against the cushy leather pad, her throat dry, a lingering effect of the fever. It was dry and a bit itchy, particularly uncomfortable.

Qin Mo felt a focused gaze on her, and when she turned her head, she saw the man's gaze, and she tensed up completely. His eyes were on her face.

More specifically, on her lips.

Her lips were pale and slightly peeling from dehydration, making her look very weak.

Qin Mo subconsciously licked her lips,

completely unaware of what this gesture meant to Chu Yiqin.

"How... what's wrong?"

Her voice was tight and weak as she asked, sounding very different from her usual self.

She was even more fragile.

"Your lips are very dry,"

Chu Yiqin commented nonchalantly, merely stating a fact without any hint of flirtation. But Qin Mo felt her face heat up; it must be the fever.
