“Hey! Stop it!” Mu Xiaoxiao blocked his mouth with her hand and pushed him away.
Yin Shaojie pouted. “Alright then. We’ll kiss when we get back. Come on.”
Thus, the two split up to carry out the plan.
Mu Xiaoxiao was responsible for persuading Annie to have dinner with them while Yin Shaojie went to find Ye Sijue.
The four arrived at the living room. Upon seeing that Ye Sijue was going too, Annie was visibly startled and tried to back out.
“Um, I guess I should…”
“No!” Mu Xiaoxiao shouted immediately, reading Annie’s mind. She even hugged her arm tightly to prevent her from escaping. “You promised. Don’t go back on your word! Let’s go.”
She dragged Annie who had no choice but to go along.
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao was going to let them sit in the back, but she was afraid that Annie would not want that, so she sat behind with Annie while Ye Sijue sat in the front passenger seat.
As soon as the car drove past the castle’s gate, Ye Sijue covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
Annie looked up almost immediately. Sitting behind him, she could see his face from the side mirror.
She was visibly worried.
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at her and deliberately slapped the back of Ye Sijue’s seat. “Ye Sijue, are you still alive?”
Upon hearing her, Annie turned and shot Xiaoxiao a look as if she were unhappy with what she said.
Ye Sijue coughed a couple of times again and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s fine. I’ve had my medicine.”
“So your high fever is subsiding already, right?” Mu Xiaoxiao continued to ask as if she wanted Annie to be updated on Ye Sijue’s condition. “You need to be careful. The fever could get worse again.”
“Alright, I got it,” Ye Sijue replied tepidly.
Sitting behind, Annie looked out of the window, her hands on her lap were clenched into fists.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, “You’re really useless. You weren’t in the pond for very long. How did you end up so ill?”
Ye Sijue made no comments to her.
Yin Shaojie, who was driving, looked at Xiaoxiao through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, “He hasn’t been sick for several years so don’t laugh at him. People are made of flesh and blood. It’s normal to fall sick.”
After driving for about half an hour, they still had not reached the bustling district yet. Instead, they were still driving along the woods and hills.
“Where is this place? Yin Shaojie, are you on the wrong route?”
Mu Xiaoxiao poked her head to look around, trying to look for road signs.
“I don’t think so. Am I?” Yin Shaojie also acted stupid. “This was the road that we came from. How could we get lost?”
“It was daytime when we were coming here. It’s dark now. How can you see the road clearly! I think you’re on the wrong route. What should we do?”
“How can we get lost…”
Before Yin Shaojie could finish saying, the car suddenly screamed to a stop.
“What’s wrong?” Mu Xiaoxiao’s eye widened as she tapped on the back of his seat and asked.
Yin Shaojie clenched his fist and brought it to his mouth as he coughed. “It seems like… something is wrong with the car.”
As he said that, his eyes glanced unnaturally at Ye Sijue sitting in the front passenger seat.
Ye Sijue’s face seemed pale, looking more sickly than before.
“Let’s get out of the car first,” Yin Shaojie said suddenly.
