The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward.

The person who felt most embarrassed was Qiao He, who had just impulsively kissed him.

The air seemed to fall silent.

Qiao He didn't dare to face Bo Shiwu and didn't know what to say to him. After getting the medicine from the system, she quickly went to Lin Qiao to feed her the medicine.

Bo Shiwu stared at Qiao He's back with complicated emotions. He didn't understand why Qiao He did this. Did she really like him, or did she want to play with him?

Regardless of the type, even a thin layer of fog is sweet.

He had never liked anyone like this before in his entire life.

I cared about someone.

Qiao He was the first...

It was also the last one.

Qiao He had just given Lin Qiao the medicine to relieve her symptoms, and Lin Qiao's ears were still burning hot. But Qiao He was more worried about Lin Qiao now. What if her mother-in-law's condition worsened? What if the medicine didn't work?

The "Playing it Off" system said calmly, "Don't you trust the medicine I produce?"

"Don't worry, Lin Qiao won't die for now after taking this medicine." The mechanical voice of the "Playing it Off" system sounded particularly pleasant at this moment.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, Lin Qiao, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.

She stared blankly at Qiao He, not quite understanding what was happening. She only remembered having a very long dream in which she walked along a path, but the path seemed to have no end. No matter how hard she tried, she could not reach the end.

Thinking about it now, could that have been the Bridge of Helplessness...?

Lin Qiao struggled to sit up in his sleeping bag, and then he was surprised to find that he actually had strength!

"I...I am..." Lin Qiao's eyes widened slightly, and a look of shock appeared on her wrinkled face.

Qiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandma, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Lin Qiao was overjoyed. She thought to herself: Could this be a miracle? Did God know that she didn't want to die yet, that she wanted to continue living and see the world, and that's why her condition is gradually improving?!

What else could it be but a miracle?!

Lin Qiao excitedly grabbed Qiao He's arm, "Ahe, I'm okay, I feel fine! I feel great now! I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

"It's unbelievable, I don't even know what happened..." Lin Qiao murmured softly, she was so happy she was almost crying, her eyes were red and wet with tears.

Qiao He was also very touched. She smiled and said, "That's good, Mother-in-law... I'm glad you're alright."

"Are you hungry? You should eat something now that you're feeling better..." Before Qiao He could finish speaking, she saw Bo Shiwu bring over a bowl of hot soup.

Qiao He paused for a moment, her ears turning red as she took it, and muttered softly, "Thank you..."

Bo Shiwu glanced at her silently.

Then she sat silently to the side watching her, making Qiao He feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she had needles sticking out from behind her...

There's no way around it; if you flirt with someone, you have to give them an explanation.

Qiao He also realized that her reasoning just now was indeed too far-fetched!

But she couldn't think of a better reason right now. She couldn't very well tell him about the system's existence and then treat him like a "tool" or something.

Qiao He was getting a little irritated, but she suppressed her emotions. Oh well, things will be cleared up eventually.

So, after Lin Qiao felt much better, she was able to eat. She ate very comfortably and happily. Her body was no longer in pain and she even had energy. Wasn't this a sign of recovery or a temporary resurgence of energy before death?

But Lin Qiao knew her body very well. This was not a last gasp of life at all, but rather a relief from her illness, a very sudden relief, as if she had suddenly recovered.

Lin Qiao couldn't explain why either, and could only regard this situation as a miracle.

At this moment, the seven little ones surrounded Bo Shiwu, each with a very unfriendly expression.

Bo Shiwu: "...What's wrong? Everyone's surrounding me."

The kittens whined, staring at Bo Shiwu with unhappy and haughty expressions.

They stole their mom!

That's outrageous!

Qiao Li narrowed her large cat-like eyes and said in a cold voice, "Now, tell me, what should we do to get rid of him?"

Qiao Ju said dejectedly, "Do we have to find something really delicious for him before we can get him to leave Mommy's side?"

Job sighed helplessly: "All you ever think about is eating. Bo Shiwu, that two-legged creature, is clearly not a foodie. He only eats to survive."

Qiao Jin said blankly, "It seems so, it's terrifying, this man..."

"I have to say, this two-legged beast has some tricks up its sleeve. Look how it's seduced Mommy! She can't even resist wanting to eat Bo Shiwu!" Qiao Fei said indignantly.

Qiao Yin said helplessly, "We know that too... This won't do. If we don't do something, Mom will really have to go with Bo Shiwu. And that two-legged beast might pester Mom to mate with him."

Qiao Jin was completely dumbfounded. She was still a baby and naturally didn't know what mating was.

"Waaah, what is mating?" Qiao Jin asked curiously.

All the kittens present were still babies and hadn't gone through a reverse heat cycle yet. Only Qiao Yin was a bit older, and he said earnestly, "Anyway, it's not a good thing. The mother will be in a lot of pain, and the humans would probably be in even more pain!"

"We can't let that bastard Bo Shiwu bully our mom!" Qiao Yin stood up and meowed.

Qiao Li's eyes instantly became very sharp. "Of course, I will protect Mom and absolutely not let Bo Shiwu have a chance to get close!"

"Me too!" Qiao Fei yelled, glaring at Bo Shiwu with hostility.

The same applies to the other kittens.

Completely bewildered by the fact that he couldn't understand cat language, Bo Shiwu tilted his head slightly as he looked at the kittens, wondering: What did he do this time to upset these furry kids?

I can’t figure it out…

I can't figure it out.

After that, Qiao He was protected by the kittens. Whenever Bo Shiwu tried to get close to Qiao He, he would be chased away without fail!

Anyway, the seven kittens took turns standing guard to protect Qiao He, preventing Bo Shiwu from bullying their mom. They even took turns watching over Qiao He while she slept.

Qiao He: "..." Kids, although Mommy is very touched by your reaction, there's really no need for that!

The next day, Qiao He finally couldn't take it anymore and took the kids aside for a talk.

After explaining for a long time, she said that Bo Shiwu wouldn't do anything to her, and that it would be good enough if she didn't do anything bad to others.

But the kittens didn't believe it. They stubbornly believed that Bo Shiwu would take advantage of their inattention and do something bad to Qiao He!
