While listening to our conversation Hai Shui’s face paled drastically. Her body swayed and she looked as if she was going to faint. I hurriedly went to support her. “Hai Shui, are you unwell?” I helped her sit in the chair beside me.
After she sat down she forced a smile and said, “I’m fine. Zhang Gong, congratulations on getting Mu Zi.”
I proudly said, “Thank you, this is the result of my persistence. You have no idea how cold she was before.”
Hai Shui’s expression became even paler. I worriedly asked, “Hai Shui, your complexion doesn’t seem to be good. Do you want me to bring you back to the dormitory?”
Hai Shui stood up and said, “You don’t need to. I’ll head back on my own. It might just be because today was hot. You guys just continue to eat. I’ll head back first.”
I asked curiously, “You’re sure you’ll be alright?”
Hai Shui smiled, distressed. “I’ll be alright. See you.”
