Chapter 102 - Panic (2) (1/2)

Caihong noticed his pale expression and frowned. Then she looked away. ”I didn't want you to disturb me anymore. Only that's why I tended to you. But the cold wipes didn't help much. So, I found some medicine in your room.”

Xiaosi froze. He felt as if his heart stopped beating. ”Medicine?”

Caihong showed him the bottle. ”This one. It said it can relieve headaches. But I never saw this medicine before.”

Xiaosi clenched his left fist under the duvet.

Damn it. She saw my medicines.

”I-I see…” he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

”So what is exactly this medicine?”

Caihong was curious because not only she never heard of it before but they were stacked away in his bathroom cabinet. Usually, people kept medicines on the bedside table or cupboard, not so hidden in the bathroom cabinet.

Xiaosi quickly snatched the bottle away from her, taking her aback. ”Nothing. Just a normal headache medicine. Nothing much.”

She raised her brow at his changed behavior. She wanted to ask about his sudden illness last night. But she realized that their relationship wasn't like any normal couple for her to be concerned about him. It was already enough that she took care of him last night.

Caihong quickly stood up and impassively said, ”I am leaving. I already did what you asked me.”

As she took a few steps ahead, she stopped and turned. Her mouth opened to ask him about the things he was mumbling in his sleep.

”I hurt you a lot.”

”I am so sorry…”

”I always wished for you to take care of me like this…”

Why did it seem so painful to you, Xiaosi? Why were you making a face like that as if you were about to cry? Why did you say those things after you destroyed everything yourself? I am supposed to be suffering here and I am.

So why were you looking like that, Xiaosi, as if...you are suffering with me too?

Han villa.

After the incredible night yesterday, Xinyi was too awake to have any decent sleep. She woke up early and found it a good time to have a conversation with her diary. She didn't find Zhiyuan on the bed.

Maybe he went for a morning walk.

Xinyi opened her diary. Her hands trembled as she poured out her feelings on those pages. A while later, she put down her pen and took a deep breath as she calmed down. Through the open window, a gust of wind fluttered the diary's pages. It opened to the page where Xinyi had confessed her feelings for him.

She faintly smiled and brushed her fingers along the page. As she was lost reminiscing the past, she felt a hand on her shoulder. ”Xinyi.”

Xinyi froze and slowly turned to see Zhiyuan standing behind her. And the page hiding her secret until now was open right in front of him.

As Zhiyuan's gaze fell upon the open page, his eyes slowly widened. Xinyi saw the change in demeanor and paled. Her heart pounded in her chest in utter panic.

He cannot see it...he cannot read my diary!
