Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

However, Luo Lixi didn't have any intention to reply at that moment because suddenly, her head began to throb harder. As time went by, it only intensified. 

When Sheng Ruming didn't hear anything from her for a long time and saw her discomfort, he inquired, "Are you fine?" 

"Huh! Do I look fine to you?" Luo Lixi suddenly lost her temper and yelled at him to stop at the moment yet he didn't get angry and looked straight into her eyes. 

"A… A… Accho! Sniff!" 

Finally, the bad effect of staying outside during snowfall kicked in with its full force. Luo Lixi felt the throbbing pain getting unbearable and also had difficulty breathing. 

Her white face had flushed a long time ago because of the coldness but now, her nose became too red. As she felt her body getting hot, Luo Lixi realised she had thrown herself in a perilous situation. 

With the support of the bench, she stood up and gazed at Sheng Ruming. 

"Sniiiiif! I will have to go now. Let's meet another day. Sniiiiif!" After taking large breaths, Luo Lixi turned around and headed towards the main road connecting to the hospital. 

The man followed her footsteps and put a large distance while walking behind her. Even though he could have left her to fend for herself in this chilly weather, he couldn't muster up the courage to do so. 

Luo Lixi stood beside the road and waited for vehicles to pass by. At the same time, she took out her phone and wanted to book a taxi but it was a pity that it was already 2 a.m. and she didn't find one.

'What bad luck!' Angrily she stomped on the road and began to browse through to look for one. Sheng Ruming quietly walked beside her and coughed out aloud. 

"Do you want a ride?" The man asked indifferently as if he was doing a favour by landing her a ride. 

Even though at that moment she wanted no more than to stop on his arrogant face, she could only not her head. 

"I want…" While Luo Lixi was replying urgently, the pain suddenly skyrocketed and her eyes rolled back. Instantly, her mind blanked out. 

The man was taken away as he saw her eyes rolling and her body falling back. His body moved on its own and he caught her before she could fall on the ground. 

"Hey, are you okay?" After stabilizing themselves, while speaking he turned to her face and lost words. It was clear as day that she had lost consciousness. 

"Are you acting? Even if you lose sense, I won't take you with me. Wake up or I will throw you here." Sheng Ruming threatened her as he felt her losing sense was too coincidental. He even gently slapped her face but all he got in return was her stiff face. 

'Should I really throw her away?' Sheng Ruming considered this and then carried her to the nearby bench on the footpath. He laid her down and his eyes stayed on her red face for an extra second. 

Afterwards, he turned around and went to the parking lot. He drove the car, decided on driving along the footpath and glanced at her. Even then, he didn't see any reaction. 

In no time, the car drove away, leaving the vicinity of the Ailin Hospital. Luo Lixi, who had truly lost consciousness, was in the process of turning an ice block. 

…

"Awo~ Gr~" 

In the dead of night, when people were in deep sleep, there would always be stray dogs who would bark nonstop. Not to say, when their territory had been invaded by a human. 

The dogs barked at Luo Lixi but didn't dare to go near her. The place was too deserted for her own good. When Sheng Ruming returned after 30 minutes, he witnessed this frightening scene. 

Earlier, when he was on the way to Sheng Villa, he was feeling very restless. Luo Lixi's flushed face was replaying in his mind again and again. 

'What If… she really…' Sheng Ruming couldn't bear the anxiety as it became unbearable and thus he made a U-turn. And he would always be grateful for driving back.

That's why, when he arrived, he got to see the tragic state he had thrown her into. On top of that, he was speechless to see a brown one sniffing her around! 

The scene of dogs peeing to mark their territory came into his mind and made him shudder. Without a second thought, he rushed out of the car and ran towards Luo Lixi. 

"Shoo! Go away!" The man picked up a brick and threw it at those stray dogs who were barely an inch away from Luo Lixi's body. 

After successfully driving away from the stray dogs, he leaned down and picked her up. Then, with a forced chuckle, he took her towards the building of the Ailin Hospital. 

"What a place to lose your consciousness! You are quite lucky! Ha!" The man tried to force down his self-guilt and hugged her tightly. His heart was pounding violently in unknown fear as if he was going to lose something precious. 

'I hate this feeling…' He thought so.

Feng Shaoling, who had just finished his duty and got off work to go home, met Sheng Ruming midway. Without saying, he had to return to check on this woman. 

…

Morning, 8 am. 

It was a sunny day even though last night it seemed that snow would fall for many days. 

In the VIP ward of the Ailin Hospital, Luo Lixi moved in her bed and took on a comfortable position to sleep further. 

'So comfortable~' She thought so in her mind as she clutched onto a super fluffy pillow. At that moment, she felt a cold sensation on her forehead and desperately sought it out. 

Sheng Ruming became a statue and let her touch, grab and rub his big palm.. The man only wanted to check her temperature and didn't think that he would be felt by her.
