Qin Su was a little confused when she opened her eyes and saw Huo Sijin.
Is she seeing things?
Close your eyes, then open them again, and the person in front of you is still Huo Sijin.
"Master, is it really you?"
As soon as I opened my mouth, it felt like my throat had been cut with a knife; it hurt terribly.
"It's me, don't worry, it's alright."
Huo Sijin poured her some water, helped her lie down, and recounted what had happened after she fell unconscious.
He only mentioned briefly how Qin Su recovered.
"I found the herbs, and I used them to fuse with the power within your body."
Qin Su was surprised: "But Xie Erxun said that there are only two ways to make me better."
One option is to find a holy healer, and the other is to marry an interstellar person.
Since the holy healer was definitely not found, that leaves another possibility.
"He definitely didn't study well."
Huo Sijin said in a serious tone. Judging from his expression, Qin Su felt that perhaps Xie Erxun had not remembered the whole thing.
"Are there any more herbs?"
She was very curious about what kind of herbs could help her recover.
"It's all used up."
Huo Sijin's eyes flickered slightly as she avoided Qin Su's gaze.
Thump thump thump...
"Master, Master, are you awake? How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Hearing voices coming from inside the room, Xie Erxun excitedly knocked on the door.
"I'm fine."
Qin Su was very touched by how much the child cared about her.
"Go and rest, I'm fine now.
Xie Erxun must have been worried sick during the days she was in hibernation.
"Oh, okay, Master, I'm going to rest now. You should also take good care of yourself."
Hehe, maybe in a few days he'll have a little master. He needs to take good care of his health, right?
Qin Su was unaware that Xie Erxun had thought so far ahead. At this moment, she was more curious about what Huo Sijin had been doing all this time since leaving the resort.
"I've found your fifth uncle."
Qin Su sat up: "Where is he? How is he?"
"Don't worry, he's safe now. I've settled them in the outskirts of Kyoto, so no one can find them."
Huo Sijin recounted her fifth uncle's story again. It turned out that the air-raid shelter attacked by the terrorist organization was the very location of her fifth uncle's team.
Fortunately, Huo Sijin arrived in time and rescued Fifth Uncle and the other surviving researchers.
"I want to see my fifth uncle."
"good."
Huo Sijin did not refuse: "But you still need to rest for a few days and wait until you have recovered a bit before you go."
Qin Su really wanted to see her fifth uncle, but if she went there in this weak state, her fifth uncle would definitely worry.
"Um."
Next, she recuperated in the space.
Huo Sijin stayed in the room with her the whole time, which puzzled Qin Su. Although she was still very weak, she didn't need someone to stay with her 24 hours a day.
"Actually, you could go out and find a room to rest."
Huo Sijin still didn't leave: "I'm worried about you being alone."
Qin Su: ……
This is a safe space, and they are all around us. What is there to worry about?
But despite the complaints, having him by my side does make me feel at ease.
Thump thump thump...
Sherxun heated up the food and brought it over, his eyes darting around furtively as he looked inside.
“Master Huo, although you are full of vigor, my master is weak. You must take it easy and not make my master too tired.”
Seeing that Qin Su's face was still a little pale, he gave Huo Sijin some more instructions.
Qin Su: ……
What does this kid mean?
"eventful!"
Huo Sijin took the food and locked him out.
Sher touched his nose, which had almost been hit by the door.
"I didn't mean any harm. If Master recovers slowly, it's all your fault."
But they're already married, and the owner hasn't said anything, so what can he say?
No matter what, the master should approve of Master Huo, otherwise he would have divorced him long ago.
Thinking about this, he was quite happy. Fortunately, Master Huo returned in time. If he had put Feng Rui on the master's bed back then, it would have been a different story.
What does "Xiao Xun" mean?
Qin Su glanced at Huo Sijin, who remained indifferent.
"He's just bored and has nothing better to do."
Qin Su: ……
It seemed that she wouldn't get an answer from Huo Sijin, so Qin Su wasn't in a hurry. She figured she could just ask Xie Er later.
Two days later, Qin Su was able to get out of bed.
Although she is still a little weak, she can walk normally now.
Qin Su was thrilled. She thought she would be dormant for a long time, but she didn't expect to recover so quickly. Not only that, she could also feel the two forces within her body.
“The power within you is very strong, but your body is still too weak to use it for the time being. I have sealed it away. You can use it when you are feeling better,” Huo Sijin explained.
Qin Su was even happier to hear that her strength was still intact.
"That's good, thank you."
Huo Sijin lowered her eyes: "I am your master, it is my responsibility to save you."
Is that so?
Qin Su found these words strange. This is the apocalypse, and survivors would kill each other for a bite to eat, yet Huo Sijin was talking to her about responsibility.
"Huo Sijin, do you like me?"
Qin Su stared at the man in front of her and asked.
Although the apocalypse is cruel, love still exists. In her previous life, she had seen people starve to death for their loved ones, but such cases were extremely rare.
But after meeting Huo Sijin and going through so much with him, she was willing to trust him.
"Um."
Huo Sijin replied earnestly, "I do like you. Although I don't know where this feeling started, from the first moment I saw you, you had an inexplicable attraction to me."
Qin Su stared wide-eyed at the man in front of her in shock.
"At first sight? Are you sure it wasn't lust at first sight?"
She never believed in love at first sight. How could people fall in love with each other when they didn't even know each other and were still keeping their distance?
Therefore, the initial attraction is simply based on the other person's appearance.
"Perhaps, that's one way to put it."
Huo Sijin was very honest: "At first, I didn't really want to invest more emotion, so I just wanted to protect you. Gradually, I couldn't bear to see you suffer, couldn't bear to see you unhappy, couldn't bear to see you being bullied, and even more so, couldn't bear to see you go into hibernation."
“I think I’ve really fallen in love with you, my little apprentice.”
Qin Su's heart was pounding wildly, and she subconsciously touched her chest.
How could this be? In my past life, when Gu Mobai confessed his love to me, my heart never beat this fast.
Huo Sijin grasped Qin Su's hand, his magnetic voice slowly spreading in her ear.
“My little disciple, I swear on my life that I will protect you for the rest of my life. If I break this vow, I will disappear into the stars.”
As he made his vow, a faint halo enveloped the two of them.
Qin Su could clearly feel her body suddenly become warm.
"Would you like to be with me?"
Before she could fully savor the warmth, Huo Sijin's gentle voice reached her ears.
"willing."
The moment she finished speaking, the warmth intensified, causing her body to relax completely.
