Before long, Yan Sijue returned, carrying a glass of cold water.
He handed the glass to her, and Mu Yiliang quickly took it, saying "Thank you" before gulping it down in large swallows, barely managing to suppress the restless feeling in her body.
At this moment, the man sat down on the edge of her bed, seemingly wanting to observe her up close.
Mu Yiliang's breathing became erratic! Then... she choked!
She started coughing forcefully and inadvertently spilled water all over herself!
Yan Sijue was momentarily stunned, then smiled helplessly, "Be careful, I'm not trying to steal your water..."
He took out a tissue to help her wipe off, but Mu Yiliang abruptly shrank back, her voice filled with alarm, "No!"
The man's movement paused, a hint of loneliness and sadness flashed in his eyes.
Mu Yiliang felt a bit guilty. She didn't want him to touch her because she was afraid she might accidentally lose control... It wasn't that she disliked him!
