Xuxu knew the man had splashed the boiling soup on Yan Rusheng's back, and she could feel that he flinched earlier on because of the pain .
Yan Rusheng intentionally slowed down . If he stole glances sideways, he could see the tiny woman behind him .
Both of them didn't speak a word along the way .
Yan Rusheng opened the electronic gate outside their building by swiping his card . He held the door open for Xuxu to enter first .
He trailed behind Xuxu after she had walked ahead, and his eyes were glued to her back . His heart already softened at the sight of her .
Yan Rusheng hastened his footsteps once more when they reached the building . He opened the door for Xuxu to allow her to enter first .
Xuxu paused her footsteps outside the entrance, and she briefly glanced at Yan Rusheng before entering .

The elevator was at the first level and it was Xuxu who pressed the button .
Yan Rusheng stood in the middle of the elevator while Xuxu leaned against the side . She couldn't help glancing at Yan Rusheng's back . Her hands clenched tightly into fists .
He still had a profound effect on her, no matter how hard she tried to shoo it off .
The elevator door opened and Xuxu walked out . She bent her head in search of her keys in the bag . She went inside and closed the door after her .
She didn't even hesitate or glance at him . Yan Rusheng was left standing outside Xuxu's door, and after snapping out of his daze, he walked back to his unit, looking defeated .
He entered the door and swiftly removed his clothes . He then proceeded to the bathroom .
Xuxu held the first aid kit and walked to his unit . Her hand hovered in mid-air for a second before pressing on his doorbell .

'Ding dong . '
The sound of the doorbell seemed to pierce through her heart like an arrow . Her heart pounded furiously and her palm was cold with sweat .
No one responded, and she was about to stretch her hand once more to press the doorbell .
The door suddenly swung open .
The man's hair was dripping wet, and he came out half-naked with a towel covering the lower part of his body .
He must have been in the midst of showering .
He got a shock when he saw Xuxu . His eyes darted to the first aid kit in her hand, and a streak of happiness flashed past his peach blossom-shaped eyes .
"Come in quickly . I'll get changed . " Yan Rusheng turned around, and he was as happy as a child . He was afraid that Xuxu might leave while he was getting changed, and so he pulled her into the house . After closing the door, he walked to the bathroom .
Xuxu watched him helplessly as he walked away looking so happy .
She was wearing her bedroom slippers, so she didn't remove it when she entered his house .
The living room just had a few pieces of furniture, so it looked as though his living room was bigger than hers . He liked everything neat and tidy, so his house was much cleaner and tidier than hers .
Xuxu glanced at the wall . He had left the door as it was originally with red bricks .
She continued to walk inside towards the couch . On the coffee table, there were medicine and cough syrup along with a glass of water .
She recalled how she had heard him coughing for the past nights .
'Sigh!'
Xuxu sighed heavily . She was feeling overwhelmed with emotions .
"Xuxu . "
Yan Rusheng walked out with his bathrobe on, and he eagerly looked at Xuxu .
Xuxu turned around and lightly said, "I saw that your neck was hurt . I have some medicine to treat burns . "
She placed the first aid kit on the table and took out some ointment for burns .
