Yan Zhiqing didn’t know why, but she had the feeling that it might be Wei Wucai who came over.

She pulled the pillow off her face and picked up her phone to have a look.

Ultimately, she read the WeChat text message from Wei Wucai that she didn’t want to read earlier.

“Your cold medicine is still here. Are you coming over to take it, or am I bringing it over to you?” Wei Wucai said.

Yan Zhiqing thought about it and replied, “I’ll just call a delivery service to bring it here. I won’t go over to get it, and you don’t have to bring it here.”

Just as Yan Zhiqing sent the message, the doorbell rang again.

This time, it was accompanied by Wei Wucai’s voice calling out from just outside the door.

“Zhiqing, I’ve brought your medicine over,” Wei Wucai said from outside the door.

Yan Zhiqing’s pulse suddenly raced violently.

She sat up slowly and then walked over to the door.

She was barefoot and walking on carpet, so her footsteps didn’t make a single sound.

At this moment, her entire body was pressed against the door.

Her face was turned to the side with her ear on the door, listening to the sounds from outside.

She didn’t dare at all to open the door to take a look.

Outside, Wei Wucai was feeling extremely helpless.

Even though he could not see her as they were separated by the door, he could still guess what Yan Zhiqing’s reaction was on the inside.

He felt that she was too cute.

Just the thought of what Yan Zhiqing’s current appearance might be made him feel she was adorable.

It would be even better if he could see it in person.

Wei Wucai also pressed against the door and said, “Zhiqing, I know you don’t want to see me right now. But you still need to take your medicine, right?”

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

These words of his seemed to suggest there was something wrong with her.

Yan Zhiqing picked up her phone, wanting to send Wei Wucai a message to get him to go back to his room.

However, before she could do that, her phone rang.

Her phone’s ringtone sounded particularly clear through the mere door separating them.

That was when Wei Wucai ascertained that Yan Zhiqing was currently pressed up against the door on the inside.

The two of them were so close to each other.

Wei Wucai couldn’t help placing his hand on the door…

As if by doing so, he would be able to place it on her.

“Pick up the call,” Wei Wucai said from the other side of the door.

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

The two people were only separated by a door and could hear one another’s words, yet he still insisted on using the phone to talk.

“If you don’t pick up the call, I’ll just have to speak louder so that you can hear me speak clearly,” Wei Wucai said. “But it won’t be good if I speak loudly and let others hear me.”

Yan Zhiqing froze.

If those words had been spoken by someone else, she would definitely have been very angry upon hearing them.

However, since they emerged from Wei Wucai’s mouth, Yan Zhiqing could only feel helpless. She wasn’t even in the mood to get angry.

Her phone’s ringtone was still ringing, but Yan Zhiqing was truly afraid that Wei Wucai would actually speak loudly outside her door.

So she had no choice but to pick up the call. “I’m tired. I want to rest.”

“Even so, you still have to take back your medicine. You need to take your doses on time,” Wei Wucai urged.

Hearing his voice made it feel like they were back in the past when nothing had happened.

The relationship between the two people was the same as before—unambiguous; they were purely close friends.

Of course, Wei Wucai had a lot to say regarding this point.

Being purely close friends… that was just what Yan Zhiqing thought they were.

“Open the door. It’ll be troublesome if someone sees me standing outside your door for so long,” Wei Wucai said.

Didn’t their initial love scandal get quite a lot of attention?

Yan Zhiqing choked and felt like she was being threatened by Wei Wucai in every aspect.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Leave. Then you won’t be afraid of being seen.”

Yan Zhiqing took a deep breath. “You block my doorway and keep saying that if I don’t agree to pick up your call, you’ll speak loudly and be heard by others. I don’t open the door, so you keep standing outside in wait. You’ll be seen by others sooner or later.”

Yan Zhiqing took in another deep breath. “How is your current behavior any different from that of those shameless people who threatened me?”

Outside the door, Wei Wucai fell silent.

His heart tensed up.

This was because Yan Zhiqing was right.

He wanted to see her too much. He wished too much that she could abandon the doubts in her mind.

He was too impatient and was giving her too much pressure.

He used methods that he felt were beneath him in the past.

When he did things in the past, he was never this impatient.

This was because he had always felt that it was very difficult to make sensible decisions and do his tasks well when he was impatient and rash.

But this time, his behavior was inconsistent with his usual self; he did such an impulsive thing.

It seemed that he had even irritated Yan Zhiqing with his behavior.

“I’m sorry,” Wei Wucai said immediately. “I will stop pressuring you. Don’t be angry.”

He paused and then said, “But you need to take your medicine.”

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

“Leave it at the door,” Yan Zhiqing said. She felt that her mind really should be pressured more.

Look at how she immediately became especially quick-witted just from Wei Wucai pressuring her briefly.

“It’ll be fine if I open the door after a while. You don’t need to worry,” Yan Zhiqing said.

Wei Wucai was speechless.

In the past, she treated him especially kindly.

But now, she was rejecting him so harshly and bluntly.

She was doing so with such quick wits as well.

Wei Wucai realized that he had become very despicable.

Even though Yan Zhiqing rejected him like this and avoided him, he still felt she was really attractive!

“I know this morning’s matter gave you a fright. You must need some time to calm down and think things through.”

Wei Wucai asked, “But do you still intend to continue avoiding me?”

Yan Zhiqing said nothing.

“If you intend to continue avoiding me because of my feelings for you and wish to never have any more contact with me, then I’m not leaving here no matter what. I can give you time to think about it, but I can’t let you keep your distance from me.

“I need to see you and talk with you properly. Even if we’re to start anew as friends, I can’t never see you ever again.”

Wei Wucai paused and then said, “If you just want to calm down, to have some quiet time alone to think things through… and then still see me again regardless of what conclusion you come to, I can go.

“Zhiqing, I just want to make things clear with you. Give me a straightforward answer, be it a positive or a negative one.”

He would then know what he should do based on Yan Zhiqing’s choice.

If Yan Zhiqing truly wanted to avoid him, it would mean she did not like him.

However, he had finally fallen for a woman after so many years… He wasn’t going to give up so easily.

If he were to leave just because she said she didn’t like him, how could he say he truly liked her?

It would be like he was merely casting a wide net. If this one didn’t work out, find someone else.

This sort of affection wasn’t deep at all.

Although he didn’t advocate for pestering others, he couldn’t just give up without putting in any effort, right?

Of course, if Yan Zhiqing truly chose the first option…

Wei Wucai truly considered pestering her.

If Yan Zhiqing chose the second option…

Wei Wucai would know that she at least felt something for him.
