"It's okay. I'll just go lie down in my dorm for a while."
Xu Su's voice was a little hoarse, and her throat throbbed with pain every time she spoke. She put her keys into her pocket and got up to leave, only to find Xi Zirong standing stock-still in front of her, blocking her path.
She looked up at him and said with forced patience, "You should go eat. I know the way to the dorms."
Xi Zirong didn't budge. Instead, his brows knitted together as he stared at her. "Your cold is pretty bad. You need medicine. Just trying to tough it out is a bad idea."
The boy's clear voice sounded very serious. Xu Su didn't get it. They barely ever interacted. In the two or three months since the semester started, they had hardly exchanged more than a few words. Why was he suddenly so fixated on her for no reason?
'Plenty of classmates have caught colds since the temperature dropped recently. It's not like I've seen him nagging every single one of them to take their medicine!'
