Mysterious
The young man keenly sensed that something was wrong with the girl in his arms.
"What's wrong?"
"Qian Qian?"
The young man moved back a little, putting some distance between himself and the girl.
He saw her face.
Her complexion, which had almost returned to normal, had turned pale again.
No.
She was even paler than before.
The young man's heart sank.
"Qian Qian."
His voice softened considerably.
"What's wrong?"
"Does your foot hurt?"
So she really had injured her foot just now, after all?
She just hadn't felt it at the time.
Now the pain had set in...
"I'll take you to the infirmary."
As he spoke, the young man bent down to pick her up.
The girl instinctively dodged the hand he reached toward her.
"No..."
"Then..."
The young man didn't believe her.
"Your face looks awful, you know that?"
"Don't try to tough it out."
As he spoke, he reached to pick her up again.
The girl dodged him once more.
"It really isn't that."
"My foot's fine."
The young man furrowed his brows.
A puzzled look appeared on his face. "Then why do you look..."
So pale?
The girl took a deep breath.
"I just thought of a terrifying possibility..."
Her voice was very low and soft.
So soft that even the young man standing so close to her couldn't hear.
He leaned closer. "What?"
The girl rose onto her tiptoes and leaned toward the ear he had tilted toward her. "I came up with a terrifying possibility."
A terrifying possibility?
The young man froze.
What was that supposed to mean?
He looked at her in confusion.
"What terrifying possibility?"
"Shh~"
The girl immediately raised a finger to signal him to keep his voice down.
