"I'm sorry for the trouble," Xu Jinzhi said politely.
After the doctor left, Xu Jinzhi helped Xie Yanchuan to walk out step by step.
Xu Jinzhi walked very slowly, mainly because she was worried about going too fast for Xie Yanchuan to keep up. A fall would be dreadful, so she was extra cautious.
As Xie Yanchuan paced slowly, he glanced at Xu Jinzhi by his side and suddenly felt a pang of discomfort in his heart.
He had been awake for three days now, and everyone was happy about his awakening, including Xu Jinzhi.
But beyond the happiness, Xie Yanchuan distinctly felt some inexplicable distance between himself and Xu Jinzhi.
They were not as close as before; Xu Jinzhi no longer had that playful manner she used to have around him, nor would she act petulant with him anymore.
Though he knew all of this was because of his accident, and giving each other some time might make things better, this still made Xie Yanchuan difficult to accept.
