After Zhou Guangtao left, Yan Luoxi sat by the table with gradually cooling dishes. Suddenly, the lively atmosphere at home dropped to a freezing point; all the joy seemed to evaporate from her body. Her limbs turned cold, and her heart followed suit.

Her happiness was fleeting; it couldn't even last for one meal's time.

She felt that she was gradually drifting away from Zhou Guangtao, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Sitting dejectedly by the dining table, Yan Luoxi wanted to call Zhou Guangtao, yet feared disturbing him if he were busy. She picked up her phone and noticed that the battery level was almost depleted. Worried that the phone would die without a charger, she went inside to look for one.

As she was searching, her phone rang. Thinking it might be Zhou Guangtao calling back, she quickly answered, "Brother Guangtao..."

"It's me!" came the low and angry voice of a man. "How could you treat people like this You just ignore everyone as if they don't exist! That's too much to bear!"

"Ran Xu!!" Yan Luoxi's tone was somewhat melancholic.

Yan Luoxi, I have never felt so humiliated before. You know I've been waiting for you outside your workplace and that I didn't go online after that; even my calls went unanswered. Do I disgust you to such an extent"

Hearing Ran Xu's voice full of childlike grievance, Yan Luoxi felt somewhat guilty inside. However, she was too exhausted to deal with him now and said rather wearily: "It’s late. I'm tired. I need to go to work tomorrow morning. I’m going to take a shower and sleep."

"Yan Luoxi, you heartless woman, don't you care about me at all Can't you hear my voice is hoarse" Ran Xu shouted in a strained voice, making his hoarseness even more noticeable.

"I can hear it. But right now I'm really tired. All you need to do is post on Weibo and thousands of people will be clamoring to take care of you and bring you medicine!" Yan Luoxi slumped onto the sofa, lacking energy.

"Y-you—you're not only hoarse, but also have a cold with a high fever. I'm feeling really bad... Yan Luoxi, no one else knows where my house is except you. Can't you bring me some medicine and food" Ran Xu sounded pitiful, like a deserted puppy.

Yan Luoxi was in a foul mood today and had no patience for others' troubles. She tugged at the rabbit ears of her cartoon plush pillow and impatiently replied: "Don't you have an assistant or a manager Let them bring you medicine!"

"Our team has been on holiday these days, so I've given them leave as well—they all flew back home."

"Then call the property management!"

"I'm sick, not having clogged plumbing! Just use a plunger to fix it. How can you be so cold-blooded" Ran Xu was exasperated on the other end of the line.

"Cold-blooded I even chased after someone's life! If you're really sick, why don't you call 120 Anyway, you have money—VIP rooms in hospitals aren't worse than your home. Just stay there!" Yan Luoxi swung her legs and offered advice to Ran Xu.

Seeing that Yan Luoxi wasn’t going to budge, Ran Xu changed his approach: "Yan Luoxi, even if you don't have any sympathy for me, surely you must have some conscience. That time when you were sick in the hospital and had no place to go, who invited you to dinner Who kindly took you in for a night How can you be so ungrateful..."

Hearing Ran Xu's relentless complaints, Yan Luoxi could take it no longer: "Brother, if you haven't eaten because of your illness, how come you still have the energy to yell like this Save some breath and rest for a while. If I bring you medicine later, don't overexert yourself and die of exhaustion!"

Ran Xu heard that she was coming and took two deep breaths on the other end of the phone, then there was no sound.

Yan Luoxi went to see Ran Xu. On the way, she finally received a text message from Zhou Guangtao, telling her that he was busy with work and wouldn't be returning home tonight.

Busy enough to not come back at night!

She bitterly smiled coldly; after all, she is human too. Can’t he even care about how she feels a little

Yan Luoxi came to see Ran Xu and bought some medicine for her, along with a bowl of thick pumpkin porridge and a portion of golden fish-flavored meat flake.

The door was opened by Ran Xu who saw what she had in her hands and immediately gave her a big grateful hug.

Yan Luoxi couldn't break free and hurriedly said, "Famous celebrity colleague, consider the impact. Can we be intimate inside The door is still open!"

"Don’t worry, no one knows about my place," Ran Xu confidently pulled Yan Luoxi’s hand and led her into the house.

Seeing that Ran Xu looked in good spirits, Yan Luoxi highly suspected that she had been duped. She sized him up from head to toe and asked suspiciously, "Are you really sick"

"Ah!" Ran Xu instantly collapsed on the sofa. "I'm sick, I’m truly sick. Just now was because I saw you coming and got excited."

"Stop pretending!" Yan Luoxi reached out and hit him on the arm; the skin she touched was burning hot. "You really have a fever!"

"Yes, today I spent the whole day outside your company building, enduring the northwest wind. Since you didn't come down, I got tired and hungry and ended up with a fever." Ran Xu looked at Yan Luoxi with an extremely aggrieved expression.

Yan Luoxi had never heard of there being northwest winds in this season, nor was she aware that someone could get a fever from exhaustion and hunger. However, seeing the flushed face and dry lips of Ran Xu, she dared not be careless and took out the thermometer on the coffee table to take his temperature.

38.3 degrees Celsius.

Not extremely high but still significant enough that Yan Luoxi had no choice but to look after him, pouring water for him and feeding him medicine and porridge.

"Luoxi, when I get a cold usually, the fever gets worse around midnight. Can you… can you stay tonight and keep me company" Ran Xu looked at Yan Luoxi pitifully, pleading with her like a child would to their mother. "Don't worry; I won't do anything to you. I just want someone to be there with me."

"Alright, I'll stay with you tonight." Without hesitation, Yan Luoxi agreed. Last time she was sick and lonely, it was Ran Xu who stayed by her side. By reason and sentiment, she should repay him for that.

The most important thing is, returning to an empty home and suffering from the agony of hope and despair every night in endless waiting was something she couldn't bear any longer.

Even if she had once been infatuated with Li An, even if she had made mistakes before, she still had her own principles. She wasn’t going back to that empty house tonight.

Ran Xu slept on his large bed while Yan Luoxi lay down on the sofa next to it. She thought that suddenly changing places and sleeping in a room with a man would keep her awake all night, but gradually, she began feeling drowsy as if she had dozed off.ough a magazine.Meng Meng was extremely troubled as he paced around the room. He looked at the Ruan Xi who had been acting like she wanted to devour someone just now, then at Ni Xuanyi singing softly...
