"No, go away!" Lin Xinlan's emotions were still very agitated.
Rong Shaoze had to raise his voice, "Lin Xinlan, if you keep thrashing about, I won't be nice to you anymore!"
That tactic indeed worked, she came back to her senses and slowly calmed down.
"What's wrong with you?" The man gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, asking with a frown.
Lin Xinlan shook her head, "Nothing, I want to go to sleep now..."
Rong Shaoze looked at her deeply, but still positioned her comfortably and covered her with the quilt.
"Sleep then," he said gently.
Lin Xinlan turned away from him, exhausted she closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Rong Shaoze, however, couldn't sleep.
He kept staring at her silhouette, his expression very somber.
Only very late into the night did he turn off the light and lie down to sleep.

The next day, he called over Tao Hua to give Lin Xinlan a medical check-up.
