C9 Serious Illness

Qiao Xi stood behind Shen Yeyan. The banquet had not ended yet, but Shen Yeyan was already tired of it. He lifted his foot and walked out the door.

She carefully observed the change in his expression. After leaving the hall, his taut face had obviously improved. Even his thin lips had loosened a little.

She lowered her voice and asked, "Does Mr Shen feel much more comfortable after coming out?"

The villa outside was pitch black. There was only a dim white light shining from the underbrush. Shen Yeyan happened to walk next to the lamppost, and the white light landed on his leg. He nodded after hearing what was said.

Qiao Xi continued, "Those women haven't come into contact with him either. Even if they were in the same room, would they feel uncomfortable?"

"Yes, a little."

When he answered this question, Shen Yeyan felt a little awkward. Qiao Xi was not surprised, but he understood that he was mentally resistant to her treatment.

After asking a few questions, she considered his answers carefully. His condition was so serious that even under the same roof he felt uncomfortable.

She was so serious that she didn't even notice the stone steps beneath her feet. Her high heels stepped on empty air and she threw herself forward out of balance.

Shen Yeyan subconsciously raised his hand to pull him, while Qiao Xi instinctively wanted to grab onto something beside him. Seeing his outstretched hand, he directly grabbed onto it.

When Li Ran, who was walking behind, saw this, his heart skipped a beat.

A soft hand wrapped around Shen Yeyan's. It was ice-cold, but also extremely smooth. His body began to stiffen, and an inexplicable flame began shooting down his hand.

After stabilizing himself, Qiao Xi abruptly let go and stood on the side nervously.

One of his hands covered his chest. Qiao Xi was afraid that he would constantly recall the scene from earlier, so he purposely spoke of other things to distract his attention.

"Mister Shen, the night is beautiful. Please look up."

Shen Yeyan's eyes looked straight at her and landed on her delicate face. The woman looked at him with concern and her eyes sparkled.

But he was constantly thinking about what had just happened. Why did he need to stretch out his hand? The moment he saw her fall, there was actually a trace of worry in his heart.

The man's mood didn't ease up at all. Instead, it became even more intense. Li Ran's car drove over and hurriedly helped him into the car.

She glanced back a few times, making sure no one was watching, and then followed him into the car.

Inside the carriage, she sat close to the door. Shen Yeyan's intense breathing had already started to slow down. His hands were by his side, while Qiao Xi was still diverting his attention. Thinking about the two times today that caused his illness, he felt extremely guilty.

"I'm sorry, Mister Shen. I will control the distance from now on."

"Mm, let's drive."

The man's voice was deep and his brows revealed his displeasure. Qiao Xi braced himself and spoke up, "Teacher Shen, the physical contact with me today and the physical contact with women before, has the symptom improved or become more serious?"

Shen Yeyan's brows furrowed and he opened his mouth after a long time. "More or less."

"Good, that's a good thing too. At least it didn't worsen."

Li Ran, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and silently pursed his lips.

He had been by Mister Shen's side for a few years. This was the first time he had seen something like this. In the past, even if he was touched by a piece of clothing, Shen Yeyan would always turn into a furious beast.

Today was a day where his body was in direct contact with Zhang Xuan. He thought that Zhang Xuan would at least vomit, but he didn't think that it would just be a wheeze. His symptoms were much better than before.

He did not understand Mister Shen's intention, but he pretended that he did not know.

The car drove on smoothly. Qiao Xi was holding her phone as she recorded. Shen Yeyan was attracted by her look as if it was something unexpected.

The woman slightly lowered her head as she carefully made a note. A few strands of hair fell behind her ears, and a faint fragrance drifted out from the carriage. His nose sniffed, and his brows gradually relaxed.

"Mister Shen, is it convenient to do a treatment tonight?" The unknowing Qiao Xi broke this tranquility and beauty.

Coughing lightly, Shen Yeyan pretended to be calm and replied, "Next time then."

Feeling his resistance, Qiao Xi sank into deep thought. As the car drove into the villa, Shen Ye An stepped down from his long legs and entered the house.

She walked behind and waited for Li Ran to get off the car. As someone who had been following him for years, Qiao Xi guessed that he knew a lot.

"Assistant Li, is it convenient to have a chat?"

Li Ran's eyes turned slightly as he glanced around the room. "Miss Qiao, Mister Shen seems to be against it. It's best not to force him too much. Otherwise, it might backfire on him."

Qiao Xi didn't answer directly. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Is she only disgusted with me, a psychiatrist, or all the psychiatrists are disgusted and won't cooperate?"

"All." Li Ran replied with certainty.

"That's not my problem. It's his mental state, which is why he took so long. He's a patient and I'm a doctor. The patient naturally has to cooperate with the doctor to have any effect."
