Gu Muxue's expression turned to panic. She scrambled to grab the pillbox that had fallen out, but Xue Rui was faster. He snatched it in an instant, holding it up and shaking it gently. It made a rattling sound.
"What's this medicine?" Xue Rui murmured to himself. The words "Morning," "Noon," and "Evening" were written on the box. Now, only the "Evening" compartment still held a pill.
But he hadn't seen Gu Muxue take any medicine, not in the morning or at noon. This meant she was taking it secretly, away from others.
However, it could also be leftovers from a previous time. It didn't necessarily prove that Gu Muxue was sick.
Just as Xue Rui was about to ask something, a sharp pain shot through his left hand. Gu Muxue had bitten him.
While Xue Rui was stunned, Gu Muxue quickly stuffed the pillbox back into her bag.
