Qin Mu lay on the bed, trying to breathe deeply, eyes alert, staring at the ceiling light, feeling the intense beating of her heart.
Mu Yichen gently pushed open the door and walked towards the bed with a cup of brown sugar water.
Qin Mu slowly closed her eyes, her breathing gradually becoming more normal than before.
The restlessness ceased when he came in carrying the brown sugar water.
——
Qin Mu sat up with a start, her hair disheveled, looking in a terrible state at the man approaching her.
"Mu Yichen, where did you go so early in the morning?"
"Aren't you going to the bathroom yet?"
Mu Yichen simply said, gently placing the sugar water on the bedside table.
Qin Mu, feeling guilty due to the brown sugar water he was holding, was momentarily speechless. Her eyes slowly moved down to the bed where she saw a red stain on the blue sheets, instantly feeling ashamed and unable to bear it, she ignored her physical weakness, jumped up, and ran barefoot to the bathroom.
