Chapter 1024 -1023: You are feeding the pig!
“Ye Lei, you’re back.”
Liu Sisi tried to smile and struggled to get up from the head of the bed.
“Don’t move! Your body is still weak. It’d be better to lie in bed and recuperate.”
Di Yelei’s face was full of concern. This young woman never knew how to take care of her body, always pushing herself to the point of exhaustion, which made him ache to watch.
“Really, you always happen to see me at my worst.”
Liu Sisi obediently leaned into Di Yelei’s arms, and, surrounded by his familiar aura, she couldn’t help lifting the corners of her mouth, feeling a comforting peace in her heart.
Di Yelei’s iron arms suddenly tightened, and his breath was incredibly heavy, “But I am especially grateful, grateful that when you are most vulnerable and need me the most, I am fortunate enough to be by your side and spend these most difficult days together…”
His heart couldn’t help recalling the past days when Liu Sisi was alone and suffering in her darkest times.
Every time he thought about it, he wished he could take her place and bear those hardships for her.
“It’s all in the past. Don’t think about it anymore.”
Liu Sisi understood Di Yelei’s thoughts and whispered softly. The smile on her lips did not last long before it disappeared without a trace.
“How is Feng’er now?”
Her voice was very low, and Liu Sisi’s heart tightened, as if she were a condemned prisoner waiting for the judge’s sentence.
“You always worry too much,” sighed Di Yelei helplessly, smiling as he brushed a stray lock of hair from her cheek. “Feng’er is still unconscious, but the bleeding has stopped, and the poison in her should be resolved by now? The incompetent doctors here have taken turns checking her pulse for quite a while but couldn’t figure out anything.”
Liu Sisi gasped, “You mean… Feng’er is still alive?”
“Yes, she’s still alive, and the poison in her has been resolved, but it seems like she’s affected by another strange poison… I can’t really say it’s a poison, anyway… even the doctors couldn’t come to any conclusion, so it’s just that.”
Di Yelei spread his hands, in truth unsure how to explain to Liu Sisi.
However, Liu Sisi actually understood.
Her heart immediately felt relieved, as it seemed that the blood fruit had taken effect on Feng’er. Given that she was still alive at the moment, it meant they still had time to seek out the divine doctor from Shenlong Valley or even ask Niuniu to find someone directly, which was not impossible.
“By the way, how long have I been out?” She remembered that it was morning when she had just gone to bed, and judging by the direction of the sunlight coming in from outside, she must have been unconscious for quite a while.
“You have been unconscious for three days. No matter how we called you during that time, you wouldn’t wake up. Are you hungry? I’ve already instructed the kitchen to bring some food over. You really need to take good care of your body now.”
Di Yelei’s face was a picture of tender concern.
She had been unconscious for three days? This meant Feng’er had also been out for three days, which likely meant she really made it through!
Liu Sisi was especially cheerful, “Yes! I am hungry, my stomach’s rumbling. I feel like I could swallow a whole cow.”
“You? Swallow a cow? I’d be happy if you could eat two bowls of rice,” Di Yelei also couldn’t help but laugh, teasing her.
“Seriously! If you don’t believe me, cook a cow and see,” Liu Sisi asserted, nodding her head vigorously like pounding garlic.
“Naughty girl!”
Di Yelei tapped her nose firmly, and seeing her wrinkle it in response, he emitted a series of muffled chuckles, quite pleased with himself.
When Xue Yi finally brought the food, Liu Sisi picked up the chopsticks and ate less than half a bowl of rice before setting them back down.
“I’m so full…”
“That’s all you’re eating? I thought you said you could swallow a whole cow? Have another half a bowl of rice,” Di Yelei encouraged.
Di Yelei furrowed his brows, troubled by how poor Sisi’s appetite was!
“Enough, I can’t eat anymore,” she said.
Liu Sisi leaned back against the head of the bed, refusing to open her mouth any further: “If I eat any more, I’m going to throw up, really, I’m already very, very full.” To emphasize her point, she nodded vigorously.
“Alright, alright, if you can’t eat anymore, then don’t. We’ll wait until you’ve woken up to eat more,” Di Yelei finally relented. He had to find a way to get her to eat more.
“…”
Is this how you feed a pig? Eat until full, sleep until fed?
Liu Sisi was left speechless!
Naturally, Di Yelei had no idea what was going on in Liu Sisi’s mind. He called for Xue Yi to clear the table of the cooked dishes, then lay down beside Liu Sisi, still clothed, and gently wrapped his arms around her, without speaking for quite a while.
Liu Sisi also silently lay beside him, not initiating conversation.
She had asked about Feng’er’s condition but didn’t even mention Chou Chou. It wasn’t that she was cold-hearted, but she truly didn’t know how to bring it up.
Although Feng’er was still unconscious, at least her life had been saved.
The anger in her heart had dissipated somewhat, but she couldn’t just forgive him like that.
“Stop worrying about everything. Your body is so weak right now. Empty your mind and get some good rest,” he said.
Only with a healthy body can everything be well.
“Okay, I’ll rest for a while. If I sleep too long, you have to make sure to wake me up,” Liu Sisi replied.
Ever since she fell ill last time, Liu Sisi had been particularly afraid of deep sleep, always worried that one day she might lie down and never get up again.

She was no saint; she too had emotions, was just an ordinary person who dared to love and hate, and was afraid of facing death. This wasn’t because she was timid, but because she was very much alive.
But now her head felt heavy, her eyelids were laden, and she couldn’t keep them open any longer.
“Sleep, I’m right here by your side, accompanying you, be good,” he coaxed.
He lightly patted her shoulder, and, watching her almost immediately begin to snore softly as her eyes closed, felt another pang of heartache.
This strong-willed little woman!
Even in such a state, she refused to bend her back an inch!
But wasn’t it her unyielding spirit and her brave heart that he loved?
After watching her for a long time, holding her waist, he finally sighed and carefully withdrew his arm, acting instinctively even though he knew Liu Sisi was a deep sleeper and wouldn’t be woken.
Covering her with the thin quilt, he checked the doors and windows one more time before stepping out of the room, quietly closing the room door behind him.
Xue Yi was standing vigil outside the door, and she quickly bowed in respect when she saw Di Yelei emerge.
Di Yelei was blunt: “Sisi is asleep. If she wakes up, remember to inform me. Also, don’t forget to take good care of Sisi, understood?”
“Understood…”
Xue Yi dared not slack off, and hastily knelt to show her respect.
Yet Di Yelei didn’t linger any longer and left the room like a gust of wind.
In the adjacent room, about a dozen people sat — all of them were Di Yelei’s former subordinates. When they saw him return, they all stood up to greet him.
“Sit down, let’s continue with our previous discussion. What should our next step be, and how should we proceed from here?”
