With one look at Xiao Li, Qi Xiu Yuan could immediately make out that something was wrong with him. Starting from when he had gone to purchase the battery charger to when he returned to the room, the way Xiao Li looked and spoke, all did not look well to him.

So, when he got up and said he wanted to take his leave, Qi Xiu Yuan also quickly said, "I'll walk you out."

Afterwards, despite Xiao Li's refusal and Han Jia's seemingly angry eyes that attempted to strike him down, he made haste and follows Xiao Li out the door.

Xiao Li turned around and gave him a glance. He hesitated for a moment, yet still waited for him to catch up. The two then walked side by side down the stairs.

In the hospital, people were walking in and out at all directions. Qi Xiu Yuan could feel a strange kind of nervousness tug at his heartstring and punctured his mind into apprehension as he walked beside Xiao Li. What's more, during the entire time, he couldn't find an opportunity to say anything either.

Just as he watched as Xiao Li was about to walk out the hospital main entrance, he seized Xiao Li's hand by force and pulled him into a corridor with no one inside.

"You......" Qi Xiu Yuan looked at Xiao Li, taking in all the fine details that made up his stern facial features. With a type of uneasiness stifling his voice, he asked, "Are you angry?"

Baffled at those sudden words, Xiao Li asked instead, "What would I be angry about?" Just as he said that, his face couldn't help but burn red once he caught sight of Qi Xiu Yuan staring at his lips. He coughed in an effort to draw the man's attention elsewhere, "I'm not."

Qi Xiu Yuan's eyes brightened up as he slowly moves closer to Xiao Li.

Watching his cautious appearance, Xiao Li's heart suddenly softened a bit and surprisingly even his voice relaxed. "You've helped me so much, why would it be a big deal if I let you kiss me?"

Those words struck a chord in Qi Xiu Yuan's tightened chest, leaving him at a loss for words. His expression was a mixture of embarrassment and grief as he maintained a hold on Xiao Li's eyes. Again, and again his lips would part yet he remained speechless.

Xiao Li lowered his eyes, unable to look at him anymore, "If there's nothing else, I have to leave."

When he was about to turn around, Qi Xiu Yuan grabbed his arm and anxiously said, "Who said I have nothing else to say?"

Xiao Li twirled his head around to look at him again. Since he felt a bit sorry towards him, he relaxed his voice even more: "What else is there?"

Qi Xiu Yuan looked straight at him, "I'm worried......"

"Worried about what?"

"Worried you're not well." Qi Xiu Yuan stared at him. There were many thoughts circling his head as he tried to sort them all. A moment later, he finally summoned up enough courage to speak. "Do you remember the day I saw you and that person called Da Gui talked? You knew that something happened to Han Jia. At that time, your expression was exactly like the one you have on now. You look extremely angry, as if you want to go and do something dangerous......"

Xiao Li was a bit shock as his eyes swept towards him. It was only a moment later did he finally smiled, "It seems, you're able to tell the future huh?"

"I'm not joking with you." Qi Xiu Yuan's expression was grave once he found the voice to speak again, "Did Han Jia say something to you just now? Did something happen to him or is it something else? Xiao Li, you......you can tell me. I——"
