"How did you know I was sick?" I ask to Li Qiang when the doctor left.

"I happened to know," he evades my question while adjusting my blanket.

"How?" I have to know.

"Li Jie sent me a message, saying you were sick, so I came to check on you."

It is a lie. I know him very well to notice he is lying. Also, Li Jie never approved our friendship, so there is no way he would send him to check on me.

"Why didn't he come but sent you instead?"

"It was a really important meeting so he couldn't leave it," he creates an excuse for Li Jie.

"Yet, you are here..." I say with a straight face but my heart hurts so bad.

I nod hastily and close my eyes as I do not know what to feel about his intense gaze.
