Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Chapter 229: So It Was Him

The warm water slid down her throat, soothing the discomfort in Lin Zhiyi’s throat.

She gradually stabilized, and the warm fingertips of the person in front of her brushed against her lips, as if touching some treasure.

He leaned closer and closer, his burning breath fell on Lin Zhiyi’s face.

She instinctively held her breath, and although everything before her eyes was blurry, she could feel that he was very, very close to her.

Close enough that a slight movement would lead to their lips touching.

At that moment, the medicine took full effect, and Lin Zhiyi’s body went limp, and she collapsed onto the couch.

Soon, a tall figure came over and held her tightly in his arms, the sound of his heartbeat dominating her ears.

It was somehow reassuring.

In her dazed state, she felt a soft touch on her forehead.

"Sleep."

His deep voice, as if magical, allowed Lin Zhiyi to fall into darkness.

When Lin Zhiyi opened her eyes again, she stared at the snow-white ceiling and reached up to touch her forehead.

Fortunately, the fever had subsided.

She just felt very weak.

She reached for the water glass on the table, but couldn’t grasp it.

A hand reached over, handing her the water glass.

"Awake?"

That voice...

Lin Zhiyi lifted her eyes to clearly see the person before her, and froze.

"Mr. Sang? What are you doing at my place?"

Sang Li helped her sit up to drink water, explaining, "Don’t misunderstand, I was passing by your studio, wanted to ask about a design, and your colleague mentioned you were sick, so I got your address to come see you, but you didn’t respond to calls and knocks. Just then, your neighbor came back, and she had your keys, so she opened the door to check."

Lin Zhiyi and Sister Zhou, both being single women, kept each other’s keys to prevent emergencies.

Holding the water glass, she said thank you, feeling a bit embarrassed and unable to look at Sang Li.

So, the person just now was Sang Li?

She slightly lifted her eyes, her gaze scanning the room as if looking for something.

But apart from Sang Li, there was no sign of anyone else.

Suddenly, she felt her action was somewhat superfluous and appeared quite ridiculous.

Sang Li, noticing her gaze, asked, "Feeling better?"

Lin Zhiyi came to her senses, "Much better."

"Go eat something, it will make your body feel more comfortable," Sang Li pointed at the dining table.

Lin Zhiyi looked and was surprised to find a bowl of steaming millet porridge on the table, accompanied by her favorite snacks.

She stood up in surprise but ignored her body’s weakness. She blacked out the moment she stood, but Sang Li quickly supported her.

"Come on, I’ll help you."

"Okay."

The two sat down at the table.

Lin Zhiyi picked up the bowl, instantly recognizing the finely prepared porridge was not bought from outside and must have been stewed for a long time.

So the person who took care of her really was Sang Li.

She clenched her spoon, her embarrassment mixed with complex emotions making her lose her appetite.

"Don’t like it?" Sang Li looked at her.

"No, thank you. Sorry for the trouble."

She forced down about half a bowl of porridge and a few snacks, all tasteless.

After setting down the bowl, Sang Li handed her the water glass and a pill.

"Take this medication with meals, or it will upset your stomach."

Seeing the considerate Sang Li, Lin Zhiyi recalled the vague and concrete images from earlier, especially feeling like someone had kissed her forehead.

Feeling awkward, she started, "Mr. Sang, earlier, when I had the fever, I might have..."

Before she could finish, Sister Zhou suddenly burst through the door.

"Zhiyi, you’re awake? Are you okay?"

"I’m fine now."

Just as Lin Zhiyi spoke, she noticed Sister Zhou’s strange look toward Sang Li.

Thinking of Sister Zhou’s gossiping nature, she inwardly panicked, wanting to intervene but was too slow.

Sister Zhou pointed at Sang Li’s suit. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
