"How about it?"
Upon seeing his friend emerge from the room, Xiao Qi hurriedly went to greet him.
"The bullet has been removed. I gave her anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medication, and she's asleep now. You'll have to work harder tonight and keep an eye on her. If her fever spikes again, give her the medication again. If necessary, you can also wipe her body with alcohol to lower her temperature."
Xiao, your girlfriend is no ordinary person... I remember your taste has always been for sweet and innocent girls, when did you change your taste and start liking this strong and resilient woman?
While explaining, my friend jokingly inquired about gossip.
Xiao Qi was stunned for a second before he reacted, and rolled his eyes at the other person with disgust.
"She's not my girlfriend, we just happened to meet her."
"Just acquaintances? I had no idea you had such a helpful side."
His friend clearly didn't believe him and winked at him.
"Get out of here, and remember to keep this a secret."
Frustrated, Xiao Qi called out to shoo people away.
"OK, things are very chaotic in Country D lately. You'd better be careful. If there's nothing else, go back home as soon as possible."
The other party gave instructions before leaving.
Country D is not as peaceful as it appears, especially recently.
Protests and demonstrations against the new government, as well as fights and disturbances, were rampant, but the D country government suppressed the news to save face.
As a close friend, he naturally didn't want anything to happen to his friend.
After seeing his friend off, Xiao Qi frowned even more deeply.
chaos?
So she was just unlucky to have encountered the riots?
Why did she make Xue Ling take the blame? Just because he changed the itinerary based on Xue Ling's advice?
He came to Country D ahead of time for Xue Ling, so why did Jing Li come to Country D ahead of time?
Xue Ling couldn't possibly bribe an assassin to kill Jing Li, could she? They had some friction, but it wasn't to the point of life or death.
What is the truth...?
Unable to understand or figure it out, Xiao Qi pinched his brow in exasperation and resignedly went inside to take care of Jing Li.
My friend told me that I shouldn't let her have a recurring fever, and I should also keep an eye on her wound to see if it gets infected.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.
As expected, Jing Li's fever returned in the middle of the night.
Xiao Qi took his temperature; it was 41 degrees Celsius, a high fever, and he was starting to talk nonsense.
After giving her fever-reducing medicine, he was still worried and followed his friend's advice to wipe her limbs with a towel soaked in strong liquor.
"Damn it, I've never treated my own mother like this... How are you going to repay this favor..."
While gritting his teeth and serving the young lady, Xiao Qi muttered curses to himself.
"Dad...Mom...don't go..."
With her cheeks flushed and forehead covered in sweat, Jingli began to mumble incoherently.
Unlike the assertive and sharp woman she displayed to Xiao Qi after the night she drugged him, this sickly woman appeared more vulnerable and lonely, her pale face inexplicably eliciting sympathy.
"No... Si Fei... run... run fast..."
Hot tears slid down Jing Li's cheeks.
"It's alright, it's alright, it was just a dream..."
In her hazy state, a gentle voice sounded in her ear, and a warm hand touched her forehead.
Soon, Jing Li, having calmed down, fell into a deep sleep again.
At five o'clock in the morning, her fever finally subsided.
Xiao Qi, who had never taken care of anyone in his life, breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep by the bedside.
At this moment, neither of them knew the immense shock their presence in the same room would cause to China's entertainment industry.
Just last night, a well-known Chinese gossip blogger posted: "See you on Weibo tomorrow morning at 10 AM to discuss the new romance of a male celebrity surnamed X, who fell in love on set and turned their on-screen romance into a real-life one."
