Su Xiaomeng is sensitive to cold and her hands and feet get cold as soon as winter comes, so she dresses extra warmly.
Still, she caught a cold.
"It's nothing, I'm used to it. It happens once every season!"
Su Xiaomeng sniffled, patting Yin Meng on the shoulder.
"But this time—"
"Hey! You're so nagging, Meng Meng!"
Su Xiaomeng refused to return to the dorm to rest and insisted on going to the club's activity room with Yin Meng.
Yin Meng had no way to change her mind, so she had to go along with her.
But just as Su Xiaomeng stepped into the activity room, she was immediately dragged out by someone.
"Ren, you're just in time."
Yin Meng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ren Yixuan, "This girl has been sick for a week and still refuses to rest properly."
"I'll just sweat it out with some exercise!"
"Exercise?" Ren Yixuan was speechless, "Do you have ADHD?"
"You're the one with ADHD!" Su Xiaomeng frowned, "You know me. Keeping me in bed not moving is like a death sentence..."
"So you just want to spread your germs around?"
"I—"
"Leave her to me."
Ren Yixuan said to Yin Meng as he pulled Su Xiaomeng out of the activity room.
"Ren Yixuan, you can't do this! Ugh, I'm really fine! I... cough, cough! Cough cough cough!"
He stopped walking, looking at her disdainfully but patting her back gently, "Nineteen-year-old girl, coughing like a ninety-year-old grandma."
"Ren— cough cough cough..."
Su Xiaomeng was irritated by him, her throat tickling again, and she couldn't stop coughing.
"Have you seen a doctor?"
"I have, they just prescribed some medicine. Same as always, I've already taken it."
"Why is it so bad this time?"
Having grown up with her, Ren Yixuan knew she had a weak constitution and easily caught colds with the change of seasons, but a week-long cough with no sign of improvement was unusual.
Su Xiaomeng glared at him, "You won't let me into the activity room, of course I can't get better!"
"Ha..."
"What's with the scoff?"
"Aren't you just trying to pass your illness to others so you'll get better?"
"Ren Yixuan, your thoughts are really mean! Cough cough cough... Am I such a petty person!"
Su Xiaomeng just wanted to rehearse with everyone. Besides, with only a month until the event, she was feeling a bit anxious.
"Hey? Where are you taking me? The girls' dorm is that way! Ren... cough cough cough!"
Ren Yixuan glared at her, "Can you shut up? Am I going to sell you?"
"Ugh..." Su Xiaomeng pouted, thinking he had a point...
"How much could I get for selling you? Wouldn't even cover the cost."
"Ren! Yixuan!"
Su Xiaomeng felt she'd die from anger because of Ren Yixuan one day!
"Why are you bringing me to the student council office?"
Ren Yixuan closed the door, turned on the heater, and played music on the computer.
"To see if you're capable of infecting me."
"Come on, didn't you say you wanted to move around?"
Ren Yixuan reached out his hand.
Su Xiaomeng was taken aback, "Uh... dance?"
"Su Xiaomeng, don't tell me you forgot about our agreement?"
"Ah, no! No, no!"
But looking at his outstretched hand, Su Xiaomeng was momentarily dazed...
"Spacing out? Trying to back out?"
"I'm not like you... always conning people..."
Su Xiaomeng mumbled, stepping forward to take his hand... Ah, so warm, the warmth reaching her heart.
