She turns to look at the source of the voice and finds him standing near her in his suit, casting a long shadow on the ground.
She stares at him, dumbfounded.
She is done for!
Will he find out that she has been faking her illness?
She jumps up. The swing rattles violently due to her sudden movement before swinging violently towards her knee.
It is all too sudden. She simply stares at the swing as it heads for her leg. A tall stature suddenly blocks the way, and….
-Clash-
The swing clashes against Si Zheng Ting’s leg.
The swing is made of iron plate, it is very sturdy. She can tell that it hurts just by hearing the sound of it clashing against his bone.
She anxiously crouches down before rolling up his pant’s leg, “How is your leg? Does it hurts? Do you think your leg is fine?”
The place where the swing hits his leg is already red. Si Zheng Ting does not show any reaction. He simply freezes when Zhuang Nai Nai’s hand touches his skin.
He takes a deep breath before bending his waist and touching her in the shoulders. He drags her away from the swing set before finally letting go.
Zhuang Nai Nai is still worried about his leg, but he cut her off before she can say anything else, “The wind is big here.”
Zhuang Nai Nai freezes at her spot.
The wind is big here…..
It is a simple sentence that is uttered with his usual coldness, but she can somehow feel the overflowing worry in his words.
He is not bothered by his leg, instead, he is worried about her.
Gratitude, warmth and guilt worm their way into her heart.
She is faking illness!
She suddenly wish she is really ill.
She smiles at him brilliantly, “My head hurt so I decided to walk around to take in fresh air. Why aren’t you at your mother’s?”
Si Zheng Ting is quiet for a moment. Even though he said they should start afresh, he still has to give himself some face. What will she think if he tells her that he canceled his appointment with his mother for her?
In the end, he says, “Something suddenly comes up from her part.”
Zhuang Nai Nai secretly scoffs in her heart. Does she really have something else, or is she just like herself, unwilling to meet the other?
Just as she is busy cooking things up in her head, Si Zheng Ting steps forward and lifts her up.
She wraps her hands around his neck in surprise.
She wants to come down and struggles against him, but he simply says, “Don’t move.”
She obediently stops struggling.
He carries her up to their bedroom before taking out a new thermometer from a plastic bag, “Go and measure your temperature.”
Zhuang Nai Nai: ……………
Under his intent stare, she measures her body temperature. After doing so, she hands it back to Si Zheng Ting who says, “Your body temperature is normal.”
She persists with her act, “My head hurts~”
Things like body temperature can be measured, but when it comes to immeasurable things like headache, she is not scared even if he wants to take her to the hospital!
