Meng Xi'er was not feeling well, and although she was on an IV drip, her face was still a bit pale. She sat on the sofa for a while, then let go of Xu Lingmeng's hand and said softly, "I'm going to go upstairs and sleep."
"Mmm, go ahead."
Xu Lingmeng obediently nodded, and only when Meng Xi'er had turned to leave did the expression on her face drop slightly. That face, which normally appeared so innocent and naive, now seemed a little sinister.

His tolerance and care towards her made Xu Lingmeng grow even more fear.
