Why is he showing caring towards her now? For what purpose?
But Hai Xiaotang didnât want to overthink it.
Since Dongfang Yu didnât want to eat, she started to eat herself.
Hai Xiaotang didnât eat much. After eating a bit and drinking some water, she started feeling sleepy.
Leaning against the back of her chair, Hai Xiaotang drowsily drifted off to sleep. She had no idea how long she had been asleep when she felt the car seemed to have stopped.
Opening her groggy eyes, Hai Xiaotang turned her head and was startled to see Dongfang Yu with his head bowed down on the steering wheel.
She couldnât see his face, and had no idea if he had fallen asleep or whatâ¦
âDongfang Yu?â Hai Xiaotang tried calling his name, but he didnât react at all.
Hai Xiaotang felt anxious and reached out to nudge him, âDongfang Yu, whatâs wrong with you?â
Finally, the man lying down moved slightly. As he lifted his head, Hai Xiaotang immediately noticed his pale face.
His expression seemed to show extreme pain, but he was forcing himself to endure it.
Hai Xiaotang urgently asked, âWhatâs wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?â
Dongfang Yu answered irrelevantly, his voice weak, âLetâs rest for half an hour before we continue on the road!â
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Just when Hai Xiaotang finished asking, she noticed his hand clutching at his stomach. Startled, she asked, âDo you have a stomach ache?â
Dongfang Yu didnât respond, but it was quite apparent that he had tacitly admitted it.
Hai Xiaotang was genuinely surprised, âYou donât have a stomach disease, so why the stomach ache?â
And it seemed to be quite severe.
âWhereâs your medicine? Do you have any?â She asked again.
Dongfang Yu replied indifferently, âNo!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Right, of course, he doesnât have any. If he did, he would have taken some already.
Hai Xiaotang looked around, considering buying him some stomach medicine. But they were on a highway, with not even a hint of a pharmacy in sight.
Hai Xiaotang then saw some food in the car.
She took out a bag of bread and a bottle of water, opened them, and handed them over to him, âEat something quickly, youâll feel a little better after eating!â
Dongfang Yu didnât reach out to take it, as if he didnât even have the strength to move due to the pain.
Hai Xiaotang was really taken aback. She hadnât expected his stomach condition to be so serious.
She tore a piece of bread and brought it to his mouth, âOpen upâââ
Dongfang Yu slightly avoided her, indicating that he didnât want to eat. Hai Xiaotang tried to feed him a few more times, but he still refused.
For some reason, Hai Xiaotang was getting irritated, âDongfang Yu, can you please cooperate? Youâre in such pain, and thereâs no medicine to take. So, wonât you eat something at the very least? Knowing that you have stomach issues, you should have eaten something earlier!â
Dongfang Yu slowly lifted his eyes, and gave her a chilling stare.
Hai Xiaotang glared back, âAm I wrong? If youâre sick, you should take care of yourself! Is this the time to be stubborn? If Iâm telling you to eat, then eat. If you donât then youâll endure pain and die!â
âEven if I die in pain, itâs none of your business!â Dongfang Yu suddenly retorted through gritted teeth.
Hai Xiaotang was stunnedâ¦
Dongfang Yu was plainly in discomfort, leaning back in the seat, his forehead was covered with sweat, but his words were still infuriating.
âHai Xiaotang, donât interfere in my affairs. I donât need your concern!â
Hai Xiaotang was dumbfounded, staring at him. She wanted to say something, but ultimately, she didnât utter a word and promptly got out of the car!
The car door was forcibly shut by her!
Dongfang Yuâs heart skipped a beat, thinking she was going to walk away. Thankfully, he noticed that she was merely intending to walk round to his side.â¦
Hai Xiaotang opened Dongfang Yuâs side of the car door and shoved him forcefully, âMove over, Iâll drive!â
âDid you bring your driverâs license?â Dongfang Yu asked instinctively.
âI didnât bring it! If we get caught, youâre going to handle it!â Hai Xiaotang deliberately retorted, though she did bring it along.
She had a meeting at the traffic police department early this morning to close a case, so itâd be impossible not to bring her license.
