Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Grasping Him

Huff... Huff...

Xiyan was gasping desperately, beads of sweat the size of pearls sliding down her cheeks under the blazing sun.

"Xiyan... please stop already. If you keep running like this, your makeup will be ruined..." An Ran said, feeling deeply distressed for Xiyan in her current state.

She had already run five full laps, like a robot, ignoring everyone’s pleas to stop.

Even An Ran’s mention of her makeup smudging didn’t shake Xiyan in the slightest.

Xiyan tried to steady her breathing. Although she was exhausted, this feeling of soaking in sweat and not thinking about anything was actually really nice.

Yes, just keep running.

If her body was completely drained, she wouldn’t have the energy to think about Ou Jue.

Hmm, was it just because today’s weather was too hot?

Unknowingly, her head started to swim, and her vision became increasingly blurry...

Her foot stumbled, and her body toppled uncontrollably forward.

This is bad, really bad.

Resigned to her fate, she shut her eyes tightly, yet in the next second, she fell into a solid embrace.

Right under her nose was the scent unique to the boy, a smell so full of security.

Was it Ou Jue?

There wasn’t even time to see anything clearly before everything went dark. She fainted completely in that person’s arms.

Ou Jue held her tightly.

He truly couldn’t bear to watch this woman continue "torturing herself."

He couldn’t control himself from intervening.

Good thing... he had rushed down in time.

The thought of this idiot actually falling hard onto the ground made his heart ache just imagining it.

Lowering his gaze, he called softly, "Xia Xiyan!"

Damn it.

Muttering a curse, Ou Jue scooped her up into his arms and strode off, heading toward the school’s infirmary.

*——*——*

Inside the infirmary.

The stinging pain on the back of her hand made Xiyan furrow her brow as she slowly opened her eyes.

Where is this...

Her eyes flickered in confusion, and then she saw Ou Jue standing beside her.

An Ran was also there.

"Xiyan, you’re finally awake." An Ran exhaled in relief, "You fainted from heatstroke just now. Ugh, you scared me to death! Luckily Ou Jue caught you in time; otherwise, if you’d really fallen onto the ground and ruined your face, what would we do!"

Xiyan is so gorgeous!

"Heatstroke..." Xiyan repeated softly, her peripheral vision unconsciously darting toward Ou Jue sitting to the side.

Recognizing the moment, An Ran stood up quickly. "Ahem... I... I’ll go buy you some water."

Then she darted out of the room in a flash.

The infirmary instantly became quiet, leaving only Xiyan and Ou Jue.

The early summer breeze swept into the room, making the blue curtains sway gently.

Quiet... quiet...

Xiyan didn’t say anything, but she could vaguely hear Ou Jue sigh softly.

Standing up, he pulled out a wet tissue from the side, lifted Xiyan’s small hand, and carefully began wiping it clean.

Her palms were drenched in sweat from the earlier running.

The boy, his head lowered, had a calm expression showing no discernible emotion.

Yet in the depths of his lowered gaze, there seemed to be turbulent waves surging beneath the surface.

That undeniable affection for the girl before him was becoming harder and harder to conceal.

Xiyan stared blankly at the handsome face mere inches away from hers.

After wiping her hands clean, Ou Jue picked up an apple from the bedside table and began peeling it with a knife.

Handing over the flawlessly peeled apple to Xiyan, his voice was deep, "From now on, don’t let me see you doing something so foolish again."

After saying just that single sentence, he turned to leave.

In the next moment, her hand reached out and grasped his wrist tightly.

The way she held onto him carried a hint of longing and reliance.

With just this one grip, it was enough to completely melt Ou Jue’s heart.
