Chapter 2 (Part 2) : If you embrace me ( II )

Lu Man has a stubborn manner of speaking made Xie Boyu understand that it is useless to say more. He stopped preaching to her and only faintly said: "Then we'll talk about it when you grow up."

"Good, you wait for me." Lu Man grinned while giggling and held her face when she said that.

Xie Boyu helplessly smiled. It's like a child acting willfully and making a scene.

After returning, Lu Man held her achievement papers for Xie Boyu to see. He was conscientiously writing examination papers in the study. She stayed there until midnight before going back to rest. Nevertheless, it's how things were before—
However, that's all apparently.

After this night, Xie Boyu's attitude became colder than before. There would've been dinner prepared in the past but there's nothing prepared since that day. He quietly refused her proximity. He also no longer let her stay at his place until late at night.

Except for the fixed tutoring time every night, Lu Man appears almost invisible to Xie Boyu. It's as if he secretly or deliberately controlled the frequency of their contact. He's trying to depend on this kind of way to beat down her hopeless thoughts away. His indifference seems unreasonable.

In this way, Lu Man only accepted it calmly and did nothing. Although she hadn't tried it, She could guess that Xie Boyu would've driven out of the villa in the middle of the night if she insists on staying.

Such situation lasted for two months.

One morning, Xie Boyu was on his way to go to class. At the door, he saw an anxious-looking boy wearing an N high school uniform standing outside Lu Man's home. He was holding a phone to call while looking inside.

Xie Boyu's foot stopped (from walking) and also looked into the yard to see. He heard the boy urgently shout "Jiang Xi" on the phone and finally he(XBY) removed his line of sight. He originally wanted to walk away but instead approached the boy and asked: "Who are you looking for?"

The little schoolboy heard the voice and looked over. His expression is a little more serious. He looked at him up and down to size him up, wrinkling his eyebrows and said: "I'm looking for Jiang Xi. She has a high fever and I'm sending medicine to her."

Last night, she came for the tutoring lessons and Xie Boyu didn't seem to find that she was not feeling well. Hearing that she has a high fever right now is unexpected. He was about to say something when out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the door open. A small person wrapped in a coat walked across the yard.

Lu Man wasn't surprised to see Xie Boyu here at this time. She walked up to them and took the bag of medicine from her classmate's hand. She smiled at him and thanked him before preparing to go back to rest.

The young boy doesn't feel reassured and asked: "Jiang Xi, don't you need to go to the hospital receive a check-up?"

He paused and said, "I'll go with you."

Lu Man shook her head. Because the fever is not yet gone, the movement is very light. She sniffed and said in a hoarse voice: "No need, I'll just need to take medicine and get some sleep to get well. You better head back to class."

Even though the young boy still doesn't feel assured but seeing her insist on it, he took three steps backward and rode his bicycle, leaving Lu Man and Xie Boyu behind. Knowing that he is going to class, she also said to him: "Teacher Xie, you hurry. I'm going in first."

After Lu Man said that, she turned around. The previously silent Xie Boyu reached out and grabbed her arm. Astonished, she turned her head and looked down on her arm. The expression on her face is dull because she was slow to respond due to her sickness.

Xie Boyu reached out his hand to feel her forehead. The hot temperature emanating from her forehead to his hand made him wrinkle his eyebrows.

Lu Man said in a hoarse voice: "Aren't going to go teach a class? I'm going to take my medicine myself right away."

Xie Boyu persuaded: "Call your mother. You need to go to the hospital….."

Lu Man immediately interrupted him and said: "No need, she's very busy."

Xie Boyu glanced at her and switched to saying: "Then take your medicine first and put a wet towel on your forehead. I will come over and see you later."

Lu Man smirked at him and cleverly agreed: "Good."x

Xie Boyu sent Lu Man inside the house. He watched her take her medicine and go to bed. He also helped her put the wet towel on her forehead. Seeing her take a good rest, he finally went to teach a class. Due to the delay, he arrived two minutes late to the class.

He had to teach classes all morning. When he came back to the villa, it was already 12 o'clock. The door was not locked. When he entered the house, he didn't find anyone in the room. Looking around, she was nowhere to be seen.

Even if he feels anxious, Xie Boyu looks as if he is very calm. He merely wrinkled his eyebrows and slowly went to check every area thoroughly. Still not finding a trace of Lu Man, he wanted to call her phone but then he recalled that he hadn't saved her phone number.

He returned to Lu Man's room. He stood by the door and his eyes finally stared fixedly on the closet. After looking at it for a long time, he finally walked to it and opened the door. On the corner of the cabinet, a person is curled up.

Hearing the movement, the person's misty eyes were blinded. The backlight apparently made it slow for her to see who it is. Afterward, she staggered out of the cabinet. She lifted up her head. There are tear stains on her face.

Xie Boyu looked a little distracted. He asked: "What happened?" His voice appears to be gentle.

The person in front of his eyes reached out and grasp his shirt sleeve. She looked down and shyly said: "I had a nightmare……"

After her voice fell, Xie Boyu say her petite body sway with a tendency of falling down. He hurriedly stretched out his hand. He supported her to stand. His hand felt her burning forehead. His deep voice sounded: "Go to the hospital."
