A crowd had gathered outside Qin Xi's bedroom. Qin Cheng paced back and forth anxiously, while Xu Ling'er's face turned deathly pale.

Inside the bedroom, Qin Xi was lying on the bed. The family doctor had given him emergency treatment and couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Qin, I'm not trying to be mean, but young master Qin Xi's health is very poor. How could he possibly withstand such a large amount of medication?"

Qin Cheng, unusually, did not argue, but anxiously asked, "How is Qin Xi now? Is she alright?"

“I treated him, but he is still in a coma and unable to wake up, and…”

The family doctor paused, and Qin Cheng became even more anxious, urging him on. Only then did he hesitate before speaking, "Moreover, Young Master Qin Xi's will to live is very weak."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

No one could have imagined this turn of events, and Qin Cheng was heartbroken. The butler standing to the side hesitated for a long time before cautiously speaking, "During the treatment, the young master kept resisting. How about... how about letting Dr. Ruan give it a try?"

"If I can't, then Ruan Qing'an can?"

Upon hearing the housekeeper mention treatment, Xu Ling'er reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately becoming aggressive.

But just as she uttered the name Ruan Qing'an, Qin Xi, who was unconscious on the bed, suddenly moved her fingers. The family doctor noticed this and listened to her heartbeat again with a stethoscope.

He was silent for a moment: "Mr. Qin, we can try to have Dr. Ruan come over. Perhaps if Young Master Qin Xi has the will to live, he will wake up. At least we can give it a try."

Hearing this, Qin Cheng was surprised that after arranging for Ruan Qing to stay aside for treatment, he now had to take the initiative to invite her back. But Qin Xi was now...

Just then, footsteps mixed with the sound of something being dragged came from behind. Qin Cheng and the others subconsciously turned their heads, and their eyes widened in shock, as if they were almost paralyzed with fear.

At the stairwell, Ruan Qing'an changed her clothes and walked over with a cold face. Beside her, Qin Yue was being dragged around like a dead pig, his joints almost broken, looking horrifying. He was in so much pain that he was half-conscious.

Qin Cheng flew into a rage: "Ruan Qing'an, you!"

"Uncle Qin, do you still have the right to speak like that?"

Upon hearing Ruan Qing'an's words, Qin Cheng's voice caught in her throat, and she couldn't utter a word for a moment. She simply left Qin Yue standing there: "This scumbag tried to lay a hand on me. Uncle Qin, do you still want me to help the Qin family awaken Qin Xi?"

"I'm sorry, Dr. Ruan, but—"

"No buts."

Ruan Qing'an interrupted him, his leaden eyes filled with a cold smile: "Uncle Qin, you were bound to end up like this long ago, when you colluded with Dr. Xu. Qin Xi is a human being too."

Seeing Qin Xi lying on the bed, his life hanging in the balance, his will to live almost gone, and with the Qin family and hNw company behind him, Qin Cheng suddenly looked much older.

The next moment—a "thump".

Ruan Qing'an, who was made to kneel twice in a row: ...

Qin Cheng knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "I'm sorry, Dr. Ruan, it's my fault that Qin Xi is in trouble. Please save him! The Qin family can't do without Qin Xi, he... he can't be harmed..."

Before today, no one could have imagined that Qin Cheng would kneel down to Ruan Qing'an for Qin Xi's sake.

But in response, Ruan Qing'an walked around him, accompanied by an extremely cold statement: "The only person I've ever wanted to save is Qin Xi."

After Ruan Qingan entered the room, the family doctor also left. He still needed to treat Qin Yue's injuries again. Once the door closed, everyone was kept outside.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom.

Qin Xi lay there pale-faced, and Ruan Qing'an had no choice but to sit down beside him and quietly look at his profile: "Little brother really put himself through a lot."

037: [Will the male lead really be alright?]

"..."

Ruan Qing'an didn't speak, but lowered her head, pressed her face against Qin Xi's palm, closed her eyes, and whispered, "I will."

"Little brother, your sister is with you, always here."

The atmosphere in the bedroom became quiet, warm, and peaceful.

Qin Xi felt as if she were walking in a dark abyss, completely lost, until she felt that one glimmer of warmth appear, and she didn't know how much time had passed—

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he finally opened his eyes.

There was still confusion in his dark eyes, but soon all of Qin Xi's senses were drawn to the touch on his hand. He subconsciously looked over and saw that Ruan Qing'an was resting against his hand, having been watching over him for who knows how long.

"elder sister……"

Qin Xi's voice was slightly hoarse, but she was afraid of disturbing Ruan Qing'an, so she didn't dare to move her arm. She just stared at her with gentle eyes.

After waiting for a while, Nguyen Thanh An finally woke up.

037: [My God! The male lead is awake!!]

"Wh-what?"

Ruan Qing'an had been keeping watch all night and was feeling listless. When she heard these words, she was a little stunned. She blinked, and when she looked up again, she almost bumped into a dark green, surrounded by the thick emotions within, unable to escape.

Qin Xi smiled sweetly: "Sister, I miss you so much."

【Affection Level: 80】

His smile remained as obedient and docile as a large dog, but when Ruan Qing'an was stared at by those dog-like eyes, he felt like he was being hunted, as if a large beast had bitten his throat.

Then, there was no escaping it anymore.

Ruan Qing'an paused: "Little system."

037: [Yes, yes, ancestor, what's wrong?]

"Qin Yue and the others will regret this... Qin Xi no longer wants to concede defeat; they have no chance of winning."

Ruan Qingan took a deep breath and calmly made his judgment.

Qin Xi was too lazy to fight because of his illness and health, but that didn't mean he lacked the ability. In fact, it could be said that if Qin Xi wanted to, he could easily overturn the stage that Qin Yue had painstakingly built, leaving no room for maneuver.

At this moment, Qin Xi slowly sat up, bent down and hugged Ruan Qing'an in his arms, burying his face in the crook of her neck.

He emphasized again, "Sister, I miss you so much."

The thought made me want to devour her whole...

Ruan Qing'an did not resist, but leaned against Qin Xi's chest and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here."

A lustful glint flickered in Qin Xi's eyes, his cool fingertips lingering intimately on Ruan Qing'an's hand until—

Why is there a bruise here?

"Um?"

Ruan Qing'an glanced at his arm subconsciously: "Oh, I probably didn't pay attention when I hit Qin Yue and got hurt."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xi's eyes grew increasingly cold.

"Did he come to bother you?"

"No, I should have thought of that. During the time I was under the control of drugs, you must have been going through a tough time too, sister."

Qin Xi has never asked for much. Tormented by illness, hampered by her talent, and treated as a tool, all she wants now is her. If even this simple wish is to be taken away—

A youthful smile appeared on his lips: "You're so annoying, such a bothersome thing."

"Don't worry, sister, I'll handle it."

Qin Xi spoke softly, nuzzling Ruan Qing'an's neck as if she were being affectionate, but the coldness in her words sent chills down one's spine.

Ruan Qing'an couldn't help but laugh as he stroked Qin Xi's hair.

Congratulations, they have awakened a beast.
