Chapter 333 A Man Can Dream

Sometimes, his obsession with Li Caiyi frightened him. Imagining that girl went away with someone else to the place he didn't know about was enough to make him tremble like a leaf.

Meng Renshu didn't care if people called him crazy, but he couldn't deny his needs for Li Caiyi only grew bigger as days passed by. Now, even medicine sometimes couldn't get rid of his headache completely.

He felt at ease only when she was around him. Just having her by his side made him feel like he was finally returning home.

'',

"Brother Renshu." Li Caiyi called out his name, but he didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

Meng Renshu instinctively shut his eyes, calmly waiting for the harsh rejection from her again.

However, there was no harsh berating even after waiting for a few seconds. Instead, Li Caiyi took a step closer to him and scrutinized his face closely. Her eyebrows furrowed, and her lips puckered as he gazed at him inquisitively.

"Are you sick? Your face color didn't look good at all." Li Caiyi asked him, catching him off guard.

"Huh?"

"I knew something was off from you the moment I saw you," Li Caiyi raised her hand and placed it on his forehead.

Because of the difference in their height, she had to tip-toe a little. The sight of her seriously thinking in front of him was very adorable; it made his breath hitched.

After a few seconds, which he wished went on forever, Li Caiyi retracted her hand with a wry expression mixed with worry on her face.

"Your body is slightly feverish. What are you doing following me to this place instead of going home and taking a rest?"

"It is? I didn't notice at all." Meng Renshu put his palm to his forehead, but he only felt the coldness.

"Your breath is heavy, and your body is wobbling like that. How is it supposed to be fine?"

"I'm worried about you because I know who that woman is. I just want to make sure you are safe."

Li Caiyi sighed helplessly. "Next time, worry about yourself more than me. I can take care of my own affair."

"My body moved on its own. I can't help it. And I'm not sick, just feeling a bit under the weather today."

Li Caiyi grimaced as though she had expected him to say that. "Don't be stubborn and just return home now. If you collapsed after stalking me, wouldn't your family hold me responsible for it?"

Meng Renshu chuckled. "Haha, don't worry, because I will allow no one to scold you."

Li Caiyi bit her lips with a hesitant look on her face. Meng Renshu knew what she was thinking, but he made no attempt to call it out and only waited for what she had to say next.

"That… why don't you call Mr. Mu to pick you up here?"

Meng Renshu was a little disappointed because Li Caiyi suggested he call his driver instead of offering to take him there. However, based on their relationships in the past few months, I guessed this was already the best outcome he could get.

'It will be a lie if I say I didn't expect more, though,' Meng Renshu lamented inwardly.

But thankfully, his condition distracted her from what he had said before. Although it was true, he regretted saying his innermost thoughts out loud. Meng Renshu was the one who said that he was okay with him rejecting her, so it made little sense for him to act like that.

Perhaps she was right; he needed to take a rest more.

"You are right. I will call him first." Meng Renshu replied before taking out his phone and calling his driver. After he finished reporting his location, he pocketed his phone again.

"Didn't you say you were in a hurry? Go on ahead. I just want to make sure you are okay."

Li Caiyi studied his face for a while before finally nodding her head. "You should take it easy. Sit down on the park's bench so it will not tire you out."

"En. Have a safe trip. See you tomorrow."

Li Caiyi cast the last look on Meng Renshu before walking away. Only when her small figure disappeared beyond the intersection did he lean his back against the wall of the park entrance.

"Did it get worse?" Meng Renshu muttered.

'Follow current novels ON N (ovelB in.)',

He was indeed feeling a bit under the weather today, and running to chase after Li Caiyi under the blazing sun pushed him beyond his limit.

First, he moved to the spot covered in the shade. Then, he took off his blazer because he felt extremely stuffy and hot. Meng Renshu hoped Mr. Mu would arrive soon.

His throat was parched, but he didn't have any water to drink. He subconsciously imagined the sight of Li Caiyi spending time with Dai Zhiqiang after this made his head spin.

"I should stop thinking about it. There is still plenty of time to win her over."

The street was empty around this time. The sun was probably still high, and people were too lazy to wander around under this heat.

The sound of cicadas was very loud, a sign that summer was coming.

Among the noises of cicadas and the wind blowing, he faintly heard the sound of footsteps. The owner of that leg must have been in a hurry because the speed kept increasing.

It seemed like they were getting closer to where he stood?

Nevertheless, Meng Renshu was too weak to care about it. He kept his eyes shut, inwardly praying that his driver would pick him up soon.

"I knew it!"

A familiar voice made him open his eyes immediately. He raised his head and found Li Caiyi, who sweated all over her face, looking down at him with creased brows. Her face expressed disapproval, reprimand, and helplessness simultaneously.

"I have a feeling you won't listen to my advice. Stop tormenting your body like this."

Li Caiyi scolded him, but it strangely sounded pleasant to his ears. His head, which was throbbing up to a moment ago, suddenly cleared up. He could see his reflection in her worried eyes, like looking at himself through the surface of a spring lake.

'She… return for me?'

"You really are hopeless!" Li Caiyi nagged while opening the mineral water cap she bought from the nearest store.

Li Caiyi seemed annoyed, but she was so beautiful in his eyes it suffocated him. Even after everything she said, she still couldn't leave him behind.

Meng Renshu knew she was just that kind, and he shouldn't overthink it.

However, a man can dream, and his biggest dream right then was to hold her tightly. He swore he would never let her go again when he got her in his arms.
