Yingyue was foreign to the feeling of being unwell, she was rarely ill. Therefore, when she was it hit like a tonne of rocks, hard heavy and rather difficult to do anything else whilst it was upon her. 

So waking that morning feeling like she was in a sauna before rushing to the toilet to throw up, wasn't the nicest feeling. It almost completely struck her down, and she found herself barely able to move yet alone able to work out what was going on around her. Her vision was blurry and all sounds were loud and bouncing around her head. 

"Yingyue, baby are you okay?" Her brain felt like it had turned to mush as the time it had taken her to even register what he had said to her, he'd moved closer to her and had crouched down so that he was now level with her as she sat beside the toilet. "Jesus Christ, you look rough." Ximen exclaimed as he took in her appearance. Pale as a ghost with beads of sweat dripping down her forehead was definitely not the sight he expected to see that morning.

"Love you too." She managed to utter out as a response there was no cheek to her response like there would have normally been. Rather it sounded like pure exhaustion. She attempted to push herself up from the floor and to stand though the amount to effort it was requiring was something she didn't have in that exact moment. "Help me Xi?" 

With the aid of her fiancé, who didn't look the happiest with her state after all she had seemed perfectly okay the night before, she was soon standing. The room was spinning and she found herself gripping onto him with more urgency than she had been beforehand. They took very small steps as they eased their way from the ensuite back towards the bed. Yingyue almost collapsed onto the bed before crawling her way under the covers. 

It wasn't much past 7am so she hoped she could sleep it off and still attend university that morning. Today was the day of the big match between Si and the team consisting of Lei and Shancai and she wanted to be there to support her friends. Well maybe prevent a full blown fight from happening would be a better description. She loved all the boys, truly, yet she knew that the could easily get out of hand and this would be one of those instances. Ximen had lied down beside her on top of the covers, his urge to stay with her intensifying as the time passed. He'd only seen her sick a couple of times prior though this seemed the worst yet and he couldn't wrap his head around how she had been okay the night prior yet today she was completely under the influence of this illness whatever it may have been. The pair continued to lay on the bed as it ticked closer to 8am, her eyes were shut as she slowly drifted back to sleep her body begging for the chance to sort itself out, whilst he was propped on one elbow as he watched her his hands brushing her hair away from her face. 

"Yeye, do you want me to stay behind with you? I don't mind missing the day's worth of lectures if you want me here." He questioned his mind already preparing itself to call the lecturers up to report both of their absences. He waited on her response questioning whether she was even awake at this point.

"Hmm, no Xi you need to go. Isn't today the day of the bridge match? They need a referee and I need someone to ensure their friendship isn't completely destroyed." Her voice was sluggish and slow yet he could work out exactly what she meant and he wasn't overly happy. He didn't care about this dumb game between his two friends and the stupid girl who was successfully destroying his entire friendship group. He cared about the woman lying next to him and all he wanted was to spend the day with her and make sure she got better. 

"I'm sure the others won't mind they know you're my priority and will always come first." He moved his hand from her hair to rest upon her cheek and watched as her eyes slowly opened so that they were making eye contact.
