136 136 Heroine
Although Tao Qi was very uncomfortable, he was still a little timid and did not dare to make a sound. He was also afraid of implicating Tan Jing.
After all, her family already had a very bad impression of Tan Jing. If they knew that he had fallen sick after Tan Jing had taken him out to eat, they would definitely blame her!
Tao Qi gritted his teeth and decided to bear with it a little longer. Maybe he could endure it. Wasnât it just a little itchy? He was already a man and so he definitely could take it!
When Tan Rou couldnât stop worrying and came up with a glass of milk to ask if Tao Qi was feeling better, Tao Qi was already in the bedroom, silently crying from the pain and itchiness on his body.
Tan Rou knocked on the door. âTao Qi, are you feeling alright? Come and have a glass of milk.â
Tao Qi heard Tan Rouâs voice in his daze. In an instant, it was as if a life saviour had arrived. âTan Rou found herself uncomfortable! Sheâs here to find me!â
Tao Qi almost couldnât help but cry for help. However, at the thought of Sister Jingjing, as well as his parents, Tao Qi cowered again. He bit his lip hard and refused to speak.
Tan Rou was a little confused at the door. It was still early. Could Tao Qi have fallen asleep so quickly?
Tan Rou was still worried, so she knocked on the door again. âTao Qi, are you asleep? Say something, whatâs wrong?â
Seeing how Tan Rou was so persistent, Tao Qi felt both happy and sad. He could only endure the pain and reply in a trembling voice, âI want to sleep! I donât want the milk!â
As soon as Tao Qi said this, Tan Rouâs eyes turned cold and her expression became serious.
Tao Qiâs tone didnât sound right. Why did he sound like he was crying? Or was he suppressing something? Thinking of Tao Qiâs abnormally red face just now, Tan Rou frowned. She had been careless. Tao Qi might really be sick!
Tan Rou quickly knocked on the door. âTao Qi! Open the door! Are you not feeling well? Quickly let me see!â
Tao Qi stubbornly endured in the room, not wanting Tan Rou to see him like this.
He was afraid that she would be smug again and might even say, âI told you not to eat with Tan Jing and now youâre sick! You deserved it!â
Thinking of this, Tao Qi was even more unwilling to let Tan Rou in. Besides, after enduring for so Long, Tao Qiâs limbs were already weak, and he didnât have the strength to get up and open the door for Tan Rou.
Tao Qi cried out weakly, âDonât meddle in other peopleâs business, go quickly! I donât want you to come in!â
Tan Rou took a deep breath. She didnât want to waste any more time with Tao Qi. She still didnât know what was wrong with him, so she had to get in as soon as possible. Most illnesses were a race against time.
Tan Rou didnât say anything. She put the milk aside, raised her long leg, and kicked the door lock.
With a âbangâ, the door lock was broken. Tan Rou reached out and pushed, opening Tao Qiâs door.
Tao Qi lay in bed, thinking he was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could Tan Rou break in to save him like a heroine in a movie?
The moment the door opened, Tan Rou stood there against the light like a warrior. She looked so handsome!
Tao Qi was still in a daze. It wasnât until Tan Rou walked over quickly and pulled him out of bed, examining him from head to toe, that Tao Qi knew that this wasnât an illusion. Tan Rou had really broken in to save him!
Tao Qiâs heart was filled with mixed feelings. He was worried that his illness would be exposed, but he was also happy that he was finally saved.
Everyone had the instinct to survive. No matter how timid Tao Qi was and how he didnât dare to make a sound, he had already vaguely sensed that his illness wasnât a minor one. He wouldnât be able to hold on much longer.
When he rejected Tan Rou, he was just being stubborn. In fact, he had long hoped that Tan Rou would come in and help him.
Now that Tan Rou had really seen through his pretence and kicked the door open to rush in, Tao Qi couldnât hold it in any longer. The sadness and fear of his illness, the gratitude and reliance he had for Tan Rou, all burst out, making him cry out loud, âWhat took you so long? You even broke my door ... Huhuhuâ¦. You have to pay for my door. Wait, does your foot hurt?â
Tan Rou listened to Tao Qiâs incoherent words and laughed in her heart. What nonsense was this child talking about? At a time like this, he still cared about the door.
However, seeing Tao Qiâs abnormal face and red and swollen skin, Tan Rou couldnât laugh anymore. She directly grabbed Tao Qiâs arm and pulled up his clothes. Sure enough, she saw dense red rashes.
Tan Rouâs face darkened. Tao Qi was allergic and the symptoms were very severe. If she hadnât arrived in time, he might have gone into shock. This brat, was he gambling with his life?
