Qiao Yuxian obediently returned to the room with Gu Yanjing.
Once in the living room, she immediately took off her clothes, feeling uncomfortably hot.
If she weren't afraid that everyone would leave during a break, she would have undressed earlier.
She took off her jacket and changed her shoes.
Snow had seeped into her shoes, making them slightly wet,
and her hands were frozen red.
The hair under her hat was soaked with sweat.
The clothes underneath were also a bit damp.
Gu Yanjing went to pour her a cup of hot water and, upon returning, saw she was down to a thin sweater. Worried she'd catch a chill, he took off his coat and wrapped it around her.
"I'm covered in sweat." Qiao Yuxian gathered her hair, her face flushed.
"Catch a cold."
"I won't." Qiao Yuxian took the water and sipped slowly, speaking decisively.
Then... as dinner time approached, Qiao Yuxian started sneezing.
At first, it was every ten minutes, gradually becoming every few minutes.
