Jing Xinlei paused, glanced at her feet, and then smiled a little. “The doctor gave me some medicine, it is alright now.”
Shi Yuting threw her a look but said nothing more.

It was not until the morning of the second day that Zuo Weiyi’s fever finally came down.
At nine o’clock in the morning, she woke up in a daze.
As soon as she opened her eyes, there was no one in the empty room.
Memories from last night flashed across her mind, she frowned slightly and looked around the familiar room.
When she passed out, she remembered that she vaguely saw Shi Yuting, so had she been… saved?
After the fever, she realized that her lips were chapped and her throat was dry.
She got up and got out of bed, trying to quench her thirst with some water.
Yet as soon as she lifted the blanket, she noticed that her whole body was sore.
Glancing down, she saw wounds on her arms and knees, and the most noticeable pain was on the side of her right leg.
She remembered that when she was escaping, her leg was cut deeply.
She frowned when she slowly walked to the door.
At this moment, the doorknob of the bedroom turned.
She paused and looked upward, meeting with a pair of clear eyes and Shi Yuting’s beautiful face.
Seeing that she was out of bed, Shi Yuting frowned slightly and mumbled, “So you are awake.”
Zuo Weiyi was silent for half a second before nodding. “Mhmm.”
“Why did you get up? Lie down! Stay in bed!” He scolded with a domineering tone, a tone that made his commands difficult to ignore. He picked her up and walked toward the bed.
Zuo Weiyi was stunned but still struggled in his arms, “I am thirsty, I need water…”
“I will get it!”
After placing her on the bed, Shi Yuting turned and left the bedroom.
He returned with a glass of lukewarm water in his hand.
He sat by the bed and handed her the glass.
Zuo Weiyi raised her eyebrows, staring at his narrow eyes, stunned.
How did he find her last night?
Zuo Weiyi took the glass, lowered her head, and drank silently. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She thought about last night, for a moment, she really thought she would have died there.
“Do you have a pig’s brain?!”
While she was drinking her water, Shi Yuting who was sitting opposite her suddenly burst out.
Zuo Weiyi raised her head and stared at him blankly. “What?”
“The road signs were so obvious, how could you still get lost?!” He frowned. If he could, he would open up her brain just to see what she was stuffing her brain with.
Upon hearing his words, Zuo Weiyi paused.
Road signs?
Speaking of which, she clearly followed the signs yesterday, so how did she get to Xiaoyao Residence?
She raised her gaze and looked at the man in front of her, “I followed the signs yesterday, but I didn’t know why I headed down the mountain….”
She figured it was strange too. Her English was not that good, but she could still understand what the signs meant.
Her words made Shi Yuting frown harder.
“Are you sure you followed the signs?” This woman could be stupid sometimes, she might have read the wrong sign.
Zuo Weiyi looked at him again. What was with that doubt in his eyes?
“Of course! I’m not a fool!” She glared at him angrily.
“Really? Some things can be uncertain.”
“…”
Zuo Weiyi looked upward, she was speechless from anger.
She got up, refusing to argue with him.
“What are you doing?”
“I am still thirsty, I need water!” After she was done talking, she pretended to get out of the bed.
Shi Yuting held her down and then took the glass from her hand. “Be obedient and lie down, I will get it.”
