☆, Chapter Seven: Awakening

Meanwhile, after Si Youlin left, Jiang Ran lowered her eyes to look at her wound, sighed, and turned to walk towards the villa. Back at the villa, she ran into a maid who was cleaning.

Upon seeing her injuries, he was shocked and quickly said, "Madam, what happened to you... I'll go and call Dr. Zhou for you."

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and remembered that the Dr. Zhou she mentioned was the Si family's family doctor, but in reality, he was Si Yanxiao's personal doctor. He had a close relationship with Si Yanxiao and often made sarcastic remarks to the original owner of the body.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran immediately refused, "No need to trouble yourself, you can handle it for me."

After saying that, he walked straight to the sofa, sat down, and rolled up his sleeves.

The maid silently took out a first-aid kit, knelt down beside her, and carefully treated her wound.

"hiss……"

Although she had prepared herself mentally, the stinging sensation when the medicine was applied still made Jiang Ran gasp.

The maid paused slightly, and her hands began to tremble as she applied the medicine.

Noticing something was wrong, Jiang Ran glanced at her and gently comforted her, "It's okay, take your time."

The maid suppressed her unease, nodded, and continued applying the medicine, but her movements became even gentler.

Soon, the maid finished treating her wound and looked up at her, saying, "Madam, it's all done."

Then she began to pack up the gauze and other things. Before she could even get up, Jiang Ran had already spoken up, "Thank you."

Upon hearing this, the maid was taken aback. Why would someone who was always so arrogant thank her?

When she came to her senses, she quickly waved her hand and replied, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's what I should do."

Jiang Ran smiled slightly, got up and walked towards her room.

Upon entering the room, he collapsed to the floor, as if he were completely exhausted.

Jiang Ran pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but frown.

It seems that this body is still unable to bear my spiritual energy. I was only injured, yet it caused my spiritual energy to dissipate.

With outsiders present, she was able to hold on, but as soon as she relaxed, she could feel her spiritual energy leaking out of her body.

She didn't want to die from exhaustion of her spiritual energy, which would truly ruin her "lifelong reputation".

"Thump—"

A muffled thud was heard, and she lay on the ground panting heavily. The sharp pain in her chest was impossible to ignore, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Before her consciousness faded, Jiang Ran suddenly remembered something, struggled to her feet by supporting herself with her hands, and walked towards Si Yanxiao's room.

The short distance was difficult to walk, and every step was excruciatingly painful.

Reaching the bedroom door, she used her last bit of willpower to push it open and walk to Si Yanxiao's side before fainting.

At the same time, the moment Jiang Ran touched Si Yanxiao's body, she desperately absorbed the spiritual energy flowing within him.

The spiritual energy that was disappearing suddenly surged back into his body.

The infusion of spiritual energy at this moment is like a drowning person grasping at a straw.

After the spiritual energy circulates throughout the body for one cycle, it slowly disperses into the limbs and bones, repeating this cycle again and again, finally converging at the dantian.

While the spiritual energy was tempering the meridians, the pain throughout the body was also relieved.

"water……"

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ran gradually regained consciousness.

Then, upon hearing the murmurs beside her, she suddenly snapped back to reality.

The person who had been unconscious on the bed had their eyes closed and was unconsciously murmuring softly.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran looked surprised, reached out and gently touched his forehead, and realized that his consciousness was gradually awakening.

What's going on?!

When they first met, his mind was completely blank.

She was initially worried that the constant influx of spiritual energy might cause him some harm.

Now it seems that for him, this is actually an opportunity to regain consciousness?!

Jiang Ran was a little surprised, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she couldn't help but want to find out.

Her fingers, which were touching his forehead, couldn't help but tap upwards slightly. Calming herself down, she knew this method could explore the depths of a person's memory, and she wanted to give it a try.

But then—

"Bang--"

Before Jiang Ran could make a move, she suddenly felt a powerful force attacking her. She abruptly opened her eyes, her breathing erratic.

Before she could even enter his consciousness, she sensed a barrier in front of her.

Tsk.

As expected of Emperor Shang, even in a coma, his self-preservation instincts are so strong.

Jiang Ran couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little frustrated.

"Water..." The voice, barely audible, surprised Jiang Ran.

He... wants some water?

Although somewhat surprised, Jiang Ran still subconsciously got up to pour him water and tried to feed him, but his lips were tightly pursed and the water just flowed out, making it impossible to feed him.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran pinched his mouth shut with one hand, forcing him to open his mouth, but it was to no avail.

"This is so troublesome."

Seeing that this method was also not working, Jiang Ran frowned slightly and then gave up on this approach.

If it weren't for the favor she had just done for him, she wouldn't be here trying so hard to help him drink water.

After trying various methods, none of them worked.

Helpless, she had no choice but to take a sip of water from the cup and hold it in her mouth. She slowly leaned down, her lips touching his, and gently pried open his teeth to pass the water in.

But just as their lips touched, Jiang Ran saw fragments of phantom images flash before her eyes—it was a car accident!

She opened her eyes wide, as if she were actually there.

As I walked forward, the scene of the car crash became blurred, and upon closer inspection, it had turned into a cloud of black mist.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be Si Yanxiao's dream.

"Si Yanxiao..." Jiang Ran called out towards the black mist. There was no reply, but the woman beside him turned slightly in his direction, and Jiang Ran tried to see what she looked like.

But just before she could see clearly, the black mist enveloped the woman, and then the scene before her instantly turned blood red, even closing in on her.

"Whoosh—"

Jiang Ran was startled and opened her eyes abruptly. When she came to her senses, she found herself still in the room.

Just then, she felt a touch on her lips, and Si Yanxiao seemed to have an instinctive reaction, absorbing the moisture from her lips.

Sensing this abnormality, Jiang Ran quickly got up and looked down at Si Yanxiao, who was still unconscious.

Recalling the scene just now, everything in front of me was too real. When the blood-red mist was about to engulf me, I couldn't help but feel fear. Even now, thinking about it makes me feel uneasy.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the door to the room was suddenly opened. When the maid looked up and saw Jiang Ran inside, she practically had panic written all over her face.

"Mrs!"

Jiang Ran: ? ? ?

Why are you making such a fuss?

It turns out she's become a plague on this house.

Is it just a matter of putting up a sign at the door that says: "Dogs and Jiang Ran are not allowed to enter"?
