001.16 | Gratitude For Saving Me

While Ru Weimin was in the midst of contemplating, Qi Sying vomited once more. This time, Ru Weimin did not hesitate to come closer and support the youth.

Even though their interactions were indirect and primarily consisted of Ru Weimin discreetly stealing glances at Jun Zihao, he still felt he had a duty to care for the young man. As the young man puked solid air, he stroked his back, trying to relieve pressure points and make his retching less painful.

This small gesture helped Qi Sying gradually recover. The contractions in his stomach became less intense, and he no longer had the sensation of his stomach being ripped out. Ru Weimin assisted him wash his face by dabbing the dripping sweat from Qi Sying's drenched forehead with his handkerchief.

Qi Sying was still slowly getting out of the pain and didn't notice the calm gentleness coming from the ice cold man.

"Are you... Are you feeling fine now?" Ru Weimin asked, almost making his voice crack. These would be his first words to the young man.

Qi Sying flinched from the voice. He had heard Ru Weimin's voice before, but not as close as this. He shrunk his head a little while lightly nodding.

"I am fine."

"What happened to you? Are you poisoned?"

Ru Weimin could not think of any reason why Jun Zihao vomited. He couldn't smell alcohol coming from him, so he was certain he was not drunk.

"Um... no."

Qi Sying was still facing the mirror with Ru Weimin on his back. Even though he can't see the person behind, he can view the expression of the other man from the mirror. He was able to see the intensity of the look that was directed at him. This kind of stare makes him feel a little threatened.

"Then, are you sick? Want me to call the hospital?"

Ru Weimin already had the phone in his ear when Qi Sying turned around to face the man directly. His striking blue eyes met the icy cold of Ru Weimin's, feeling a link connecting them. Ru Weimin's breath shortened. The sudden eye contact almost made his heart stop.

"I... I am really fine, seriously. I... I just got drunk from drinking too much wine. Right, I am drunk!" Qi Sying obviously lied. He knows Ru Weimin will not believe him, but this is the only way that he can avoid suspicions. "I am not used to drinking, so I vomited out."

"Are you sure?" You think Ru Weimin will just humor you like that?

"Yes, I am! I am very sure!" Well, just suck it up!

For the first time, Qi Sying started feeling anxious. He was not frightened when faced by the higher-ups; he could even step on San Zhao's face if he was allowed. Qi Sying will never get afraid of something he can grasp.

Yet, the oppression coming from this man has made him feel numb.

Is this how the world's protagonist's halo works? If so, then it was really affecting him! Even as a foreign soul, Qi Sying would want to be in any other place, just not beside this beast.

"Is that so?" Ru Weimin nodded. If he can't make Jun Zihao say it, then he has other ways to know. "You want me to get you some water?"

Qi Sying looked at Ru Weimin strangely. This person wanted to help him?

"Um... there is no need to-"

"You want to drink medicine, right? You can't take it without drinking water," Ru Weimin pointed out.

Qi Sying was surprised. How did he know he was about to drink medicine?

Little did Qi Sying know that Ru Weimin had been observing him all the time, secretly. The CEO had been monitoring him because, one, - he was a potential spy, second — he was interested in watching him, and lastly, — he highly resembled his favorite dog.
