Chu Liyue held Xiao Wujie in her arms and gazed at him quietly for a long time, just as she was feeling sleepy and about to close her eyes.
A deafening explosion rang out, and the entire mansion trembled violently.
The next instant, a tremendous impact swept in, and the glass doors and windows shattered with a crash.
Almost simultaneously, Chu Liyue wrapped Xiao Wujie's body in the blanket, held him tightly in her arms, and rolled over to lie down on the side of the bed to avoid the aftershocks of the explosion.
As the shockwave spread, a series of crashing sounds echoed through the room.
It lasted for a full half minute before everything returned to silence.
Chu Liyue immediately looked at Xiao Wujie in her arms, startled by the explosion and the series of ear-piercing shattering sounds.
His face was deathly pale, his eyes were closed, and his brows showed pain as he groaned and burrowed into her arms.
Chu Liyue's eyes filled with anxiety, "Sweetie, where does it hurt? Tell your sister."
Xiao Wujie was in extreme discomfort, burying his face in her chest and groaning, "My head... my head hurts."
Because all the glass doors and windows were broken, the sub-zero wind howled into the room, and he inhaled the cold air while struggling to breathe, causing him to cough violently.
Chu Liyue could only gently pinch his head with one hand and pat his back lightly with the other, constantly comforting him:
"Listen to me, don't open your mouth, breathe through your nose."
"It'll be fine in a bit."
Meanwhile, outside, Lu Zhufeng stood in the cold wind wearing only a thin black shirt. Despite the sub-zero temperature, he was covered in a cold sweat.
Looking at the thick smoke billowing in the air, a look of lingering fear appeared in his eyes.
The events of the past two days have made him realize that this trip is fraught with trouble.
Although there were a large number of Shadow Blade elites and Gu family bodyguards guarding the place, he was still worried and remained alert all night, not daring to sleep at all.
Just a minute earlier, standing by the window, he was terrified to see a bomb being launched from afar, concealed by the darkness.
If he hadn't thrown out an obstacle in time to stop it in mid-air, the building they were in would have collapsed, if not destroyed.
A large number of Shadow Blade elites have surrounded them, while countless black-clad assassins are leaping over from afar.
"Oh shit!"
He gritted his teeth and cursed, his ears twitching slightly as he heard Xiao Wujie's low, muffled cough coming from behind him.
Seeing all the windows of the building shattered and the biting cold wind rushing in, he couldn't help but frown.
"Guard this place!"
"Pay special attention to whether there are any bomb or air raids!"
He roared at the Shadow Blade elites and leaped and flipped into the building.
When she reappeared, she was carrying a heavy down jacket in her arms and quickly entered Xiao Wujie and Chu Liyue's room.
Inside the room, fragile items such as glass, ceramics, and flowerpots were shattered and scattered all over the floor. Various furniture and household items were also overturned and pushed over, making it look like a ruin.
With Chu Liyue's constant reassurance, Xiao Wujie finally felt some relief from his headache and severe cough.
Wrapped in a blanket, she nestled in Chu Liyue's arms, trembling slightly.
The room had heating and air conditioning, and the blankets weren't very thick. At this moment, the sub-zero temperature was blowing in, and he was only wearing thin pajamas, so he couldn't stand it at all.
Lu Zhufeng strode forward and handed him the down jacket. Chu Liyue quickly took it and put it on him. She then wrapped him tightly in the blanket, hugged him, and helped him warm up.
Footsteps sounded one after another, and the people in the other rooms had already been awakened. After quickly tidying up, they rushed over.
Seeing Xiao Wujie hiding in Chu Liyue's arms, his face pale and groaning, Lin Qingyi immediately stepped forward and placed three fingers on his wrist.
After a moment, he withdrew his fingers, gently pinched Xiao Wujie's chin to make him open his mouth slightly, and quickly and carefully observed his complexion and tongue coating.
With a slightly somber expression, she quickly took out a delicate jade bottle from the medicine box next to her, poured out two brown pills, and put them into Xiao Wujie's mouth.
The bitter pill dissolved in his mouth, and Xiao Wujie's brows furrowed instantly. Feeling uncomfortable, he subconsciously tried to spit it out.
Ignoring the presence of everyone, Chu Liyue grabbed his chin, suddenly lowered her head, and pressed her red lips to his pale, bloodless lips, gently rubbing them. Her other hand gently soothed his head and back.
The room was now like a ruin, and even a cup of hot water was hard to find, so this was the only way she could comfort him.
Beside him, Lu Zhufeng hurriedly asked Lin Qingyi, "How is he? What's the situation?"
Lin Qingyi frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice: "The pulse is weak and rapid, and the tongue is pale red with little moisture, which is typical of insufficient rest and difficulty concentrating."
"In addition, the fright I just experienced caused me to be restless and have an arrhythmia, resulting in symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and unbearable headache."
Chu Nanfeng looked at Xiao Wujie, whose eyes were closed and who was somewhat unconscious, and said in a low voice:
"But he seems to be in a particularly serious condition?"
They also experienced being suddenly awakened from their sleep, but these symptoms usually subsided after a while. However, seeing Xiao Wujie like this, it seemed particularly unbearable.
Lin Qingyi packed her medicine box, her pretty face filled with a serious expression, and explained in a deep voice:
"Surprise disrupts the flow of Qi; sudden and intense stimulation can cause the body's Qi and blood to circulate abnormally."
"But he was already physically weak, and his constant worry and mental strain had caused him to suffer from liver blood deficiency and spleen deficiency. Now, he has been frightened, which has only made things worse."
"I just gave him two calming pills; he should feel better in a bit, but..."
These are all manageable, but he was frightened and then exposed to a cold wind, so she's worried he might fall ill.
His illness has been occurring too frequently lately, with each episode more severe than the last. Given his current physical condition, how many more times can he withstand it?
After gently kissing Xiao Wujie's forehead twice, Chu Liyue leaned close to his ear and coaxed him softly:
"Sweetie, close your eyes and rest for a bit. I'll take you away soon."
"Let Lu Zhufeng hold you, I'll be back soon."
As she spoke, she suddenly stood up, picked up Xiao Wujie from her arms, and handed him to the flustered Lu Zhufeng.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said in a chilling voice, "Hold on tight, wrap yourself in the blanket, and cover your ears."
"You don't need to worry about anything else, just protect him. If anything happens to him, you don't need to go back to see Ai Ruoman."
After saying that, he picked up a silver box from beside the bed and strode towards the corner, where the bathroom still had doors and windows.
Less than a minute later, when she came out again, her long hair was tied in a ponytail, and she had changed into a tight black vest and windproof pants.
Holding a silver sniper rifle, with a laser sword hilt at his waist, his trouser pockets bulging with various weapons, he exuded a murderous aura, and his cold gaze was so intense that no one dared to look him in the eye.
He walked up to Lu Zhufeng, lowered his head and gently kissed Xiao Wujie, whose eyes were closed and whose breathing was slightly rapid.
Sensing her approaching presence, Xiao Wujie, in his dazed state, instinctively wanted to snuggle into her arms.
"Sweetie, I'll be there soon."
Gently stroking Xiao Wujie's pale cheek, Chu Liyue raised her eyes, a storm raging within them, and strode out.
There's an unnamed fire burning inside me, and I need to kill a few people to vent it.
