Ye Bai also smiled at Qin Huan, her skin like white porcelain, lips as red as cherry blossoms, eyes as black and bright as stars.

Qin Huan looked on, truly struck by her beauty.

Ye Bai looked at Qin Huan, "If I were a man, I’d fight Huo Jinnan for you!"

Qin Huan smiled.

Ye Bai, "Don’t worry about Huo Jinnan; if Jin Bo can wake up, then everything will be fine."

Qin Huan listened, pressing a hand on her chest, and smiled gently, "Alright, aren’t you tired? Get some good rest." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Ye Bai nodded.

Qin Huan stood up and left Ye Bai’s room.

Ye Bai watched Qin Huan’s back, finding her much stronger than she had imagined. Actually, during her last pregnancy, it became apparent. Very few could bear it through, yet she did and came through successfully; her resilience isn’t ordinary.

————Yunqi Academy————

The next day, Qin Huan fed Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi until they were full and went to the hospital with Ye Bai.

Upon entering the ward, they saw Huo Jinnan sitting there with a solemn expression.

Qin Huan walked over and placed her hand on Huo Jinnan’s shoulder.

Huo Jinnan looked up at Qin Huan, firmly squeezing her hand, rubbing her fingers with his thumb.

Qin Huan glanced at the adjacent heart monitor, its line still flat, just as Ye Bai had said yesterday!

She took a deep breath, standing there nervously, biting her lip.

Time ticked by second by second, yet the heart monitor remained a completely still line, not even the slightest ripple.

Qin Huan rubbed her chest and looked down at Huo Jinnan, "I brought you breakfast, go eat over there, I’ll sit here and keep watch for you."

Huo Jinnan looked up at Qin Huan, stood up, kissed the top of her head, and went out.

Qin Huan sat in the place he had sat, looking towards Jin Bo, praying in her heart, praying that he would wake up soon.

Even when Huo Jinnan returned after having breakfast, there was still no response.

Huo Jinnan stood in front of Qin Huan, raising a hand, his slender fingers gently brushed her hair, "You’ve been out for quite a while, let Uncle Lu take you back."

Qin Huan stood up, looked at Huo Jinnan, nodded, "Mm, Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi are probably getting hungry too."

Huo Jinnan leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Qin Huan stood there, in the sunlight streaming through the window, smiling at him, "I’ll be back at noon with lunch."

Huo Jinnan’s slender fingers pressed gently on Qin Huan’s full lips, "Okay."

Qin Huan bit her bottom lip, hooked one hand around Huo Jinnan’s neck, lifted her head, and pressed her red lips to his thin lips, "Then I’ll be going."

Huo Jinnan placed his large hand on the back of her head, rubbing a few times with his thumb’s pad, then released her.

Qin Huan left the ward, feeling a heaviness in her chest.

Seeing Ye Bai, she asked softly, "How much longer will it take?"

Ye Bai looked at Qin Huan, "It’s uncertain, the virus in Shen You disappeared completely after twenty-four hours. But for a short time of poisoning, Huo Jindong has endured it for so many years; it’s not easy. My dad said he drew blood for testing this morning, and only less than a third of the virus has cleared."

Qin Huan nodded, her steps faltering slightly, less than a third!

"With no heart rate like this, after three days, will he not wake up?"

Ye Bai looked at Qin Huan, "The body’s self-protection mechanisms are more mysterious and powerful than we imagine."

Qin Huan nodded, looking at Ye Bai, "If there’s any news, call me, I’m afraid he won’t."

Ye Bai, "Okay."

Qin Huan looked at Ye Bai, "You... be careful with your health, don’t overwork yourself, especially since you’re not alone."
