When Qiao Nian heard footsteps, her body trembled even more violently. She covered her head desperately, as if this was the only way to avoid being discovered.
Gu Zhou could clearly hear Qiao Nian's heavy breathing. With every breath she took, her grip on her head seemed to tighten.
He could feel her pain, because he had experienced this before.
His eyes darkened as he recalled his past self. When he had a relapse, Qiao Nian was able to pull him out of the darkness.
However, when Qiao Nian fell ill, no one could save her.
Gu Zhou looked at Qiao Nian with heartache. Carefully, he draped the coat over Qiao Nian again.
He only hoped that she would wake up soon.
Qiao Nian hugged her head tightly. She felt as if she were in a cellar, shivering from the cold but unable to break free.
At this moment, a warmth enveloped her entire body. Her world gradually warmed up.
