The wind had just finished planting, and I washed some fruit and sat down in the living room to eat. A short while later, I heard a noise coming from the sofa.

……woke up……

"I..." My throat was so dry and hoarse.

Feng Ran promptly handed her a glass of water.

The water I used last night to feed Qi Xie was lukewarm, and now it's been sitting overnight. (I'm just letting it cool down.)

"Have a drink."

"Gulp~ Gulp—"

A minute later, Qi Xie looked at the ceiling before slowly saying, "You... how did I get here?"

"Ask yourself. Why did you come here after being shot in the middle of the night?"

You have no idea how scared I was! I've been watching over you and taking care of you every day these past few days.

They don't eat well or dress well.

And those two wounds of yours, they were full of bullets. I was terrified, and worried you would die. It was so hard to get the bullets out.

And there's more!

You have no idea, you've had a fever every day for the past few days. I have to wipe your back and body every day. I also have to give you water, but you won't drink it!

I'm also afraid that if you die, I'll be so heartbroken!

So I had no choice but to sacrifice myself and pass water to you mouth-to-mouth.

Qi Xie listened to the person next to him chattering on and on. His mind was a little sluggish from just waking up, but he slowly came to his senses.

It was indeed as she said. That day, I was ambushed, and I did run to her house, climbed over the yard, and then I had no memory of anything else.

But I'm not dead yet.

I suspect there might be some truth to what she said.

"Thanks."

I mumbled a thank you in a hoarse voice. And that was it…

The wind blew silently.

In ancient times, a life-saving grace was repaid with one's life!

"hehe--"

Feng Ran gave a dry laugh. Then he turned his head and quickly threw the last grape on the plate on the coffee table into his mouth.
