He held his breath and forced himself to imagine that he was just holding a balled-up comforter in his arms. His gaze was transfixed straight ahead as he swiftly walked to the side of the bed. Without a moment's hesitation, he put her down on the bed.
He didn't dare linger there any longer as he pulled the covers over her body messily and prepared to leave.
But just as he turned around, she started to make gagging sounds.
It sounded like she was going to vomit. He was afraid she'd choke since she was lying on her back, so he instinctively turned around.
She raised her head slightly and coughed twice before she quietly laid back down on the pillow.
After that false alarm, He Jichen let out a quiet sigh of relief. Just as he was going to withdraw his gaze, Ji Yi suddenly flipped over on the bed.
Because he set her down a little close to the edge of the bed, it caused Ji Yi to fall over the edge.
