Annie was suddenly flustered, and she instinctively avoided his gaze.

His gaze seemed to peer straight into the depths of her heart, and she couldn’t help but be flustered.

“You… If you’re unwell, why don’t you rest in the room? You should be resting. Oh yeah, how long have you been sleeping? Have you eaten since you woke up? Did they send the porridge to you?”

“Yes,” Ye Sijue interrupted her, his hand raised as if he were going to put it on her shoulder, but upon a second thought, his fingers curled, and he drew back his hand.

“I heard them say that tasted this porridge many times…”

“No!” This time, it was Annie who interrupted him. She awkwardly arranged her hair by her ear, pursed her lips, and said, “After all, you… got sick because you saved me. I want you to get better soon, so I… That’s why. So don’t…”

“I know that you still care about me.” Ye Sijue’s gaze was fixed on her.

“You are my friend, of course…” Annie wanted to make an excuse.

“Just a friend? I don’t think so. You know very well that we are not friends. We are…”

Lovers.

Ye Sijue wanted to say that, but he knew that it was not his place to say it.

He was very remorseful.

He had given it a lot of thought. If he had mad his feelings to her known when they were in China, would they be happy right now?

“Can I ask you something?” He coughed suddenly.

Annie was going to refuse him instinctively, but seeing him like this, she couldn’t bear it. “What do you want to ask?”

“If,” Ye Sijue met her eyes through the mirror. Despite his sickly look, his gaze was scorching. “If I had confessed to you in China, would you have still come back to get engaged?”

Annie’s hands shook.

“I want you to hear the truth.” Ye Sijue wouldn’t let her escape.

Annie’s eyes became misty, and she said with a whimper, “It’s meaningless to talk about this now…”

“But I want to know the answer. Tell me. Tell me the truth, okay?”

This time, Ye Sijue said it in a pleading manner.

Seeing him like this, she could only feel as though her heart were being crushed under a heavy stone.

She pursed her lips and finally said, “No…”

Although they lived together in China, kissed many times, did other intimate things, and seemed like a couple on the outside, Annie had never been sure if he really liked her.

Annie had never been in love. She wasn’t sure if she even liked him.

No. More accurately, she knew that she liked him, but she wasn’t sure how deep her love was.

Was it just a one-time romance in a foreign country or was it deep love that would bind them together for a lifetime?

And what about him?

What was she to him?

Annie knew that she wasn’t a very smart girl. She wasn’t as smart as Xiaoxiao

Sometimes she was clumsy.

On the other hand, she was a very paranoid person.

If he didn’t tell her very resolutely that he liked her and needed her to stay, she wouldn’t be able to confirm his feelings for her.
