Jiang Xuecheng gritted his teeth and looked at Su Wan. He had obviously been looking for Su Wan for a long time. His usually calm face now looked a little exasperated.
"Do you know how worried I was when I looked for you for so long but couldn't find you?"
Su Wan listened to Jiang Xuecheng's words in a daze, looking at that handsome face, and for some reason her eyes suddenly turned red.
She understood Jiang Xuecheng's panic.
She knows everything.
However, Jiang Xuecheng thought she was still in the dark.
The cold water droplets flowed down her cheeks and seeped into her clothes, and Su Wan felt a chill in her heart.
However, he was not quite conscious yet and felt his heart was extremely heavy.
"Xuecheng, I just had a stomachache, so I stayed in the bathroom for a while longer. People have to go to the bathroom urgently, so you can't blame me for everything, right?"
Su Wan walked towards Jiang Xuecheng hesitantly. The water drops dripping into her dress seemed like ice cubes just taken out of the refrigerator, freezing her so much that she shivered.
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan suspiciously, feeling that something was not right with Su Wan's expression.
To be precise, it is very ugly.
Jiang Xuecheng walked towards Su Wan. He held Su Wan's arm with his hand and leaned close to scold her in a low voice.
"Next time if something like this happens, remember to find someone to notify me in advance, okay?"
She would never know how worried Jiang Xuecheng has been about her ever since she was infected with that sinister virus.
I was afraid that something might happen to Su Wan suddenly.
I wish I could stay by her side all the time, or find someone to watch over her all the time.
Jiang Xuecheng knew that this was an almost pathological emotion, but he couldn't stop it no matter what.
"Okay, okay, I know you're worried about me, but there's no need to treat me like a child. You're going to get anxious if I'm missing, right?"
Su Wan forced a smile on her lips and gave Jiang Xuecheng a pretending smile as if nothing had happened.
"Also, this is the women's restroom. Even though it's at the sink, it's not a good idea for you to stand here, right?"
Su Wan said this and patted Jiang Xuecheng's clothes mischievously.
Her deliberate attempt to get closer made Jiang Xuecheng keenly aware that something was wrong.
Jiang Xuecheng saw the water drops on Su Wan's face. He originally thought that Su Wan had splashed him with tap water. Now, looking carefully at the slightly red corners of Su Wan's eyes...
It seems like... crying?!
Why are you crying?!
Jiang Xuecheng frowned, staring closely into Su Wan's eyes, his voice rising several decibels.
"You're crying?!"
Jiang Xuecheng suddenly remembered something.
When he was negotiating with the high priest before, it seemed that the high priest's cat was always staring out of the glass wall.
At that time, they deliberately went out to check, but did not find any human being.
Now thinking about Su Wan's strange expression, could it be that someone was eavesdropping outside? !
Jiang Xuecheng's heart skipped a beat. He grabbed Su Wan's shoulders hard, and his fingers unconsciously increased their strength.
Assuming there really is someone, could that person be Su Wan? !
Su Wan didn't expect Jiang Xuecheng to have such sharp eyesight. In fact, she really didn't want to cry. Why did she become like this now
Sensitive, fragile, suspicious.
This was exactly the type of personality that Su Wan had hated the most before.
She didn't want Jiang Xuecheng to see her vulnerable side like this, not at all.
So Su Wan tried her best to smile. She glared at Jiang Xuecheng, and there was a kind of girlish coquettishness on her beautiful face, as if she was acting coquettishly to Jiang Xuecheng.
"Why am I crying for no reason? I'm crying in the bathroom alone. I'm not being bullied."
Su Wan acted quite naturally this time, with a faint smile and two shallow dimples faintly visible on her cheeks.
"Yeah?"
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan doubtfully.
"Come on, why would I lie to you about something like this?"
Jiang Xuecheng felt relieved after hearing this, but he still felt somewhat uneasy.
Even though there is no cure for the CHK-3 virus for now, they are not sitting there waiting for death!
Based on the relief prescription originally given by the high priest and the suggestion of Doctor Li, he has been trying various methods to delay the onset of Su Wan's virus.
Before the virus severely damaged Su Wan's body, Jiang Xuecheng firmly believed that he could develop a cure.
He didn't want Su Wan to know so much. If Su Wan knew those things, it would not help her condition at all. It would make Su Wan think more and more, and even fall into depression!
According to the high priest and Dr. Li, the CHK-3 virus is actually a chronic disease and will not kill people in the short term.
And those small animals infected with the CHK-3 virus often do not die from complete failure of their body functions, but from suicide because they cannot bear the torment of the poison!
How could he watch Su Wan fall into depression and panic, and even commit self-harm
Jiang Xuecheng's heart felt heavy as if it was filled with lead, and he grabbed Su Wan's shoulders with great force.
Su Wan understood Jiang Xuecheng's thoughts best. When she saw Jiang Xuecheng like this, she immediately realized that Jiang Xuecheng was probably worried about her.
Su Wan felt upset but pretended to be clueless. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuecheng and slapped his hand off her shoulder.
"Xuecheng, you're hurting me, do you know that?"
Jiang Xuecheng suddenly came back to his senses after hearing this.
He looked at Su Wan's shoulder apologetically, only to find that he had scratched a red mark on Su Wan's shoulder.
"Does it hurt?"
Su Wan giggled and shook her head at Jiang Xuecheng.
"It doesn't hurt that much, actually. Okay, doesn't it feel weird for the two of us to be chatting here at the sink? Shall we get out first?"
Jiang Xuecheng nodded, and then took Su Wan outside.
Su Wan held Jiang Xuecheng's hand tightly along the way. She felt panic in her heart, but she couldn't say it.
And having Jiang Xuecheng by her side made her feel safe.
Since Jiang Xuecheng didn't want her to know, she would just pretend that she knew nothing, maybe that would make him feel better.
…
After returning to the banquet hall, Su Wan realized that people had dispersed in groups of three or four and had almost all left.
Su Wan raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the banquet had come to an abrupt end? !
Su Wan shook Jiang Xuecheng's arm and asked in surprise.
"How come there is no one left in just a short while?"
"Have you forgotten what the original theme of today was? Now that Tia and Fiennes are gone, the high priest is too lazy to organize this banquet anymore and just lets them enjoy themselves."
Su Wan chuckled when she heard that. So she and Jiang Xuecheng should be blamed
But Su Wan couldn't laugh anymore after laughing for a while.
She thought of something extremely important.
Su Wan's heart trembled, she grabbed Jiang Xuecheng's arm with an earnest look.
"Xuecheng, you just went out to talk with the high priest. Did you agree to any conditions from her?"
