Chapter 244 - Allergy (2/2)

”Are you....okay?” He asked in concern before standing up to get a closer look at her. He realised he was sounding really worried but there was nothing he could do about it even if he had tried to ask the next question in a less concerned voice but it didn't seem to have worked also. ”Are you sick?”

”Can you.. go outside for a minute?” She blinked a couple of times before standing up with wobbly feet.

”Don't worry, I don't intend to steal anything here” She added in a gentle voice.

Jianjun only sighed and didn't think twice before going to stand outside the door to give her privacy for whatever she was about to do.

After about three minutes, he heard her gentle voice say.. ”You can come in”

He gently opened the door and saw her sitting on the chair she had been sitting on eearlier, with her head buried on the table.

He gradually approached her and when he got to where she was sitting with her head down on the table, with quivering hands, he gently tugged her turtleneck down a bit and was shocked to see the red rashes on her neck.

His action caused her to lift her head and pull her turtleneck back up.

”You....are allergic to something?” He asked with wide eyes. Why didn't he ever know about it? He was very sure that it was related to the food he had served her a couple of minutes ago. But at least, he was supposed to know what she was allergic to right?

Changyu didn't respond to his question and just asked back.

”You wanted to say something earlier right?”

”I asked you a question” He countered in displeasure.

”It was just a little allergy. Why are you getting all worked up like you even care?”

”Just a little allergy? Your face was red and swollen and can you see your neck right now? And how come I know nothing about it?”

Changyu scoffed before standing up and muttering under her breath. ”Someone might think you are really worried about me. Were you afraid that I was going to die in your restaurant? I'll leave now if you have nothing else to say.”

She tried to walk past him but unconsciously, he pulled her back by her hand.

Changyu was a bit startled and turned to look at him. ”What....are...you doing...right now?” She stuttered.

He blinked awkwardly before slowly releasing her hand.

He thought of something to say and after a couple of seconds, he was finally able to awkwardly say... ”Did you take your medication right now?” He asked her softly.

Changyu stared right back at him before bobbing her head up and down.

”Why do you never take proper care of your health?” He berated her before stopping himself to take a quick breath. ”Just rest here for a bit before you go out.” He added.

”I'm okay. You can just go do your thing” She said to him with fluttering eyelashes as she tried to avoid eye contact with him.

”Sit! Stop being stubborn” He said to her in displeasure.
