Qin Shuang took a while before slowly coming back to her senses.
She lifted her head, blinked lightly, and then left He Zhiyao's embrace.
"Sorry, just now... I..." Qin Shuang didn't know what had come over her; she felt like she had fallen into a strange mood that she couldn't escape from, sinking deeper instead of pulling herself out.
It wasn't until He Zhiyao's voice reached her that she slowly regained clarity and realized she had been momentarily lost in thought.
He Zhiyao helped her stand up, "It's alright. Do you feel better today? Eat something; you haven't eaten all day. You can take your medicine after you eat."
Qin Shuang had been squatting for too long, and when she was pulled up, her vision blacked out momentarily and she fell into He Zhiyao's arms.
He Zhiyao quickly steadied her by the waist, "Are you alright?"
