Jiang Zhi has been busy investigating the case of Tang Junxi, day and night. She's delved into every corner of the city, exploring the secrets hidden in the darkness. One day, the weather suddenly changed. The clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, and a cold wind howled through the streets. As usual, Jiang Zhi was searching a secluded, old neighborhood for information. A source tipped her off about a potential connection to the case, and she desperately wanted to find him. However, the neighborhood was in a deplorable state, filled with a foul odor, dilapidated houses, and mountains of garbage.
After long hours of fatigue and intense mental stress, coupled with the harsh environment, Jiang Zhi's body began to take its toll. She felt dizzy, but her determination kept her going. After questioning several households, she finally found someone who might know the clues. However, this person was unwilling to reveal the information easily, and Jiang Zhi had to work hard to persuade him. During the long negotiations, Jiang Zhi's face became increasingly pale, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but her eyes remained firm, and she would not miss any opportunity to obtain clues.
Finally, after much effort, the man, moved by Jiang Zhi's persistence, gave her some seemingly useful clues. Jiang Zhi, overjoyed, left the neighborhood, feeling both excited and exhausted. A drizzle had begun to fall, and the cold raindrops pelted her, sending a shiver down her spine. She forced herself to walk back to her apartment.
On the way back to her residence, Jiang Zhi felt her body growing heavier and heavier, her steps becoming unsteady. She knew she might be ill, but she was still trying to figure out how to continue her investigation based on the new clues she had obtained. Just as she was still some distance from her residence, her vision suddenly went black, and she lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingchen was incredibly busy at work today. The company was preparing for a major project, and he needed to handle a variety of complex matters. But for some reason, he felt a strange unease. He had a growing feeling that something might have happened to Jiang Zhi, and this feeling was becoming increasingly intense, making it difficult for him to concentrate on his work. After finishing the most pressing matter at hand, he decided to go see Jiang Zhi.
When Shen Qingchen arrived near Jiang Zhi's residence, he saw her collapsed on the roadside from a distance. His heart suddenly sank, and he rushed over. He gently picked up Jiang Zhi and found that her body was burning hot, her lips were chapped, and her face was bloodless. Shen Qingchen's eyes were full of worry and anxiety. He carefully carried Jiang Zhi back to her residence.
After entering the residence, Shen Qingchen quickly looked around and then gently placed Jiang Zhi on the bed. He first found a wet towel and carefully placed it on Jiang Zhi's forehead, trying to cool her down. Then, he searched for the medicine box in Jiang Zhi's residence, but couldn't find it after a long time. He frowned and decided to go out to buy medicine himself.
At this time, the rain outside was getting heavier. Shen Qingchen didn't bother to take an umbrella and rushed into the rain. After buying antipyretics, cold medicine and some simple medical supplies at a nearby pharmacy, he hurried back to Jiang Zhi's residence. His clothes were soaked by the rain and stuck to his body, but he didn't care at all.
After returning to his residence, Shen Qingchen immediately started to make porridge for Jiang Zhi. He searched for ingredients in Jiang Zhi's kitchen. Although the ingredients were not abundant, he still carefully made a pot of steaming porridge. While making porridge, he walked to the bedside from time to time to check on Jiang Zhi's condition, and the worry in his eyes never disappeared.
After the porridge was cooked, Shen Qingchen poured it into a bowl and blew it cool carefully. Then, he gently helped Jiang Zhi up and tried to wake her up. Jiang Zhi opened her eyes dazedly in a coma, and seeing Shen Qingchen's worried face, a warm current surged in her heart. Shen Qingchen said softly: "Jiang Zhi, you are sick, eat something first, and then take the medicine." Jiang Zhi wanted to speak, but found that her throat was sore and could only nod slightly.
Shen Qingchen slowly fed the porridge to Jiang Zhi's mouth, being very careful with each mouthful, fearing that it would burn her. Jiang Zhi ate the porridge and felt that it was the warmest food she had ever eaten. After finishing the porridge, Shen Qingchen carefully fed Jiang Zhi the medicine. He brought the medicine and water to Jiang Zhi's mouth and whispered, "Come on, take the medicine, and your illness will get better." Jiang Zhi obediently swallowed the medicine.
After feeding her the medicine, Shen Qingchen let Jiang Zhi lie down to rest, while he sat by the bed, quietly guarding her. He gently held Jiang Zhi's hand, feeling her body temperature, and silently prayed that she would get better soon. Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Qingchen's tired but focused look, and her heart was filled with emotion. She remembered that she had always rejected Shen Qingchen, but he had never left her and taken care of her when she was most vulnerable. At that moment, she began to realize that she had fallen in love with Shen Qingchen without realizing it.
Under Shen Qingchen's meticulous care, Jiang Zhi's condition gradually improved. Her body was no longer so weak, and her spirit began to recover. During this process, Shen Qingchen stayed by her side, doing various things for her. He would promptly hand Jiang Zhi a glass of warm water when she was thirsty, tell her some interesting stories when she felt bored, and carefully support her when she wanted to get up and move around.
As time went by, Jiang Zhi's body fully recovered. Her feelings for Shen Qingchen also underwent subtle changes in the process. She no longer resisted Shen Qingchen's feelings as before, but began to try to accept his existence. Shen Qingchen also felt the change in Jiang Zhi's attitude, and his heart was filled with joy, but he knew that Jiang Zhi still needed time to fully accept herself, so he still silently guarded her and expressed his love for her with his actions.
