Was this what liking someone was like? And then what? Should she have more expectations and desires? Like… a desire to meet again? Thinking of this, the answer made Xiao Yao slightly furrow her brow.
What should she do? She really wanted to see him again, but… her heart was hesitant. Because she really didn’t want to experience that “irregular heartbeat” and “disturbed blood flow” again!
If time had changed anything, it was that now he could actually bring her some indescribable feelings…
These feelings were troublesome, but she was absolutely certain she didn’t reject them… Lost in thought, Xiao Yao completely ignored another figure that had already invaded her space.
The figure moving in front of the wardrobe was her mother, who was about to attend a “class reunion”.
“I’ve never seen you wear this dress? The style is quite nice. Look, doesn’t it make me look younger when I wear it? Yao?”
“Ah? What?” Xiao Yao suddenly awoke, casually responding: “I’m not hungry. Don’t count me in for late-night snacks.”
“Late-night snacks?” Ji Juan was stunned, walking closer to her daughter. “Yao, are you… okay?”
“I… what’s wrong?” Right now, Xiao Yao’s biggest problem was – how to “handle” her mother’s staring eyes?
“Are you feeling unwell?” Ji Juan asked her daughter.
“Uh, I’m fine,” she answered blankly.
“Look how red your face is. Do you have a fever?” Ji Juan reached out to feel her daughter’s forehead, repeatedly frowning and muttering: “It’s a bit hot. You must have caught a cold… Are you dizzy?”
“Yes, a bit dizzy.”
“What else?”
“My heart is beating very fast—”
“That’s heart palpitations.” Changing the subject, Ji Juan shook her head with an extremely serious expression. “No! This won’t do! We must at least help you reduce the fever first!”
“No need, I’m just—” Xiao Yao hadn’t finished speaking before her mother had rushed out of the room.
Reduce fever? How? Moments later, her mother rushed back into the room with a bizarre expression. Xiao Yao vaguely felt something was wrong.
“Be good, mom searched for a long time and couldn’t find fever medicine, so… we’ll have to use this!”
