After the doctor left, Zheng Lunlun gave Ning Ran an embarrassed look, “You mustn't...... laugh at me!”

“Of course, I wouldn't laugh at you! There is no need to. You're just sick, it isn't your fault.” Ning Ran said gently.

“Then take...... take me out for hotpot!”

Ning Ran was shocked. She had thought that he was going to tell her a secret of some sort, but he asked her to take him out for hotpot instead.

What does this have to do with hotpot? Would a spicy meal be able to solve the stuttering problem?

“That's......”

Zheng Lunlun saw the look on her face, “I knew...... knew you would...... dislike me!”

Ning Ran let out a long sigh in exhaustion.

When Zheng Lunlun spoke, she would look at him. Whenever he got stuck on a word, she felt like she was stuck on it too.

She wished she could just yank the words out of his throat.

If she felt this exhausted just by listening to him, then he must be feeling even worse trying to speak.

She now understood why Zheng Lunlun didn't want to talk much earlier. Because each time he spoke, it felt like a long and grueling journey that only ended when the words came out.

Going through such a journey once or twice was fine, but how many would he have to go through with the amount of words he had to say each day? Anyone would be exhausted like that!

“I thought you didn't like hotpot?” Ning Ran asked with a frown.

“I like it now.” Zheng Lunlun replied.

“So, you suddenly want to have hotpot?”

“Yes.”

“Has your stuttering stopped?” Ning Ran asked, surprised.

“I stutter if...... if I say...... more than three...... three words.” Zheng Lunlun said bitterly.
