The server at the restaurant couldn't bear to watch, eagerly approached to ask if she needed help, but Song Yan refused outright, "No need, no need, I can manage, thank you."
Since she had repeatedly made clear her refusal, the server naturally didn't insist. He simply stood by, anxiously ready to lend a hand at any moment.
Yet Song Yan told him, "Really, I don't need help. You go on and tend to your own duties."
Seeing the determination in her eyes, the server had no choice but to leave.
By now, Song Yan was gasping for breath, but she was so determined that she absolutely wouldn't accept anyone else's help.
