Chapter 97: A Quick Check-Up

"Xue Ning, don't look so stressed," Jingwei cajoled, making sure to look as alive and healthy as possible. 

If he could do a cartwheel to prove his fitness, he would. But since he had never done any sort of gymnastics in his short life, his spine would probably shatter in the attempt and then Xue Ning would really kill him if he wasn't already dead. 

"Look, I'm perfectly fine!" He continued, smiling brilliantly at her while sitting on the chair. 

"You nearly weren't. If I hadn't found that Epi-pen in time, you'd be a goner." Xue Ning confessed harshly, shivering as she recalled how close Sun Jingwei came to death. 

"Come here and take a closer look at me then," Jingwei said, still smiling. He puffed up his chest proudly and pointed at himself. "You'll see that I'm in the peak of health. I can climb Mount Everest now."

Xue Ning let out a disbelieving snort, but the ends of her lips lifted into a reluctant smile.
