Chi Qiangwei immediately grabbed her bag and rushed to the hospital, leaving the entire matter to her agent.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xu An had already been wheeled into the operating room.
Xu An was still asleep when he came out.
The doctor shook his head at the sleeping Xu An and sighed.
Upon seeing this, Wan Rou knelt down by the bed and cried loudly.
She couldn't believe that Xu An was truly beyond saving.
After the doctor left, Wan Rou, with red eyes, grabbed Chi Qiangwei's arm.
"I beg you, please save Xu An!"
"Please save him!"
Chi Qiangwei's eyes were filled with sorrow. She took a deep breath, as if she had made an important decision, and said, "You can go out now."
He paused, then said, "I will give you back a healthy Xu An."
Wan Rou was taken aback, then her eyes lit up with joy. "Okay, I'll stay outside and make sure no one disturbs you."
With that, she went out.
Chi Qiangwei walked to the bedside, grasped his hand tightly, and said firmly, "Xu An, I won't let anything happen to you."
She stood up, her eyes changed, and an isolation spell was cast on the ward.
She looked at Xu An, who was lying on the bed, pale and unconscious, and made a flower seal with her hands.
As time passed, a red bead slowly flew out of her mouth, while her forehead was covered in a thick layer of sweat.
A beam of red light filled the ward, and a red bead hovered in mid-air—this was her inner elixir, cultivated over a thousand years.
Her true form is a rose, and there is a flower imprint inside her crystal-clear inner core.
Then, the inner core slowly cracked open and split in two.
Chi Qiangwei's forehead was covered in even more sweat, and her face had become much paler.
Xu An opened his eyes groggily and seemed to see Chi Qiangwei's figure. A red bead was suspended in mid-air in front of him.
Chi Qiangwei fed half of the inner core to Xu An, while the other half returned to her own body.
Seeing Xu An swallow the half of the inner core, Chi Qiangwei smiled weakly.
Suddenly, her vision blurred, and before she could faint, she quickly left the area.
After she rushed back to her apartment, she finally collapsed and fainted on the living room floor.
Red floral marks began to appear on her body, faintly visible.
After finishing dealing with that trending topic, the agent called Chi Qiangwei, only to find that she didn't answer.
She knew immediately that she must have gone to Xu An's place.
...
At Qingyun Temple, Bai Xi lay on a rocking chair, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "...You still ended up taking that old path."
Mo You was sweeping fallen leaves from the trees in front of the Taoist temple with a broom.
She has been very comfortable staying here these past few days. The boss pays her a high salary, which makes her feel somewhat flattered.
What she found strange was that, apart from the workers, the only people in the Taoist temple were Master Baixi and Miss Yunnuan.
But there were often noises coming from the kitchen. On her first day there, Yun Nuan asked her to help in the kitchen, even though there was no one there.
Mo You was completely baffled, but Master Bai Xi and Miss Yun Nuan didn't notice anything unusual, so she didn't bring it up.
Chi Qiangwei hadn't appeared for several days, and Xu An showed signs of improvement.
His pale complexion, which had been dulled by illness for a long time, gradually regained its vitality. When the doctors saw this, they were shocked and said it was a miracle.
When Wan Rou saw Xu An wake up, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"Xu An, you're awake!"
Xu An's lips were a little dry, and he said weakly, "...Where's the rose?"
Wan Rou's expression changed upon hearing this.
"Can't you see me standing right in front of you?"
"I'm your girlfriend!"
"What did you tell me back then? That you and Chi Qiangwei were just playing around, that you were going to marry me? You've actually changed your mind a long time ago, haven't you?"
Xu Anmo paused for a few seconds, then said, "Wan Rou, I do like you, but Qiangwei saved me, and I just want to thank her."
Wan Rou felt a little better after hearing his words.
She asked, "How do you know it was Chi Qiangwei who saved you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An recalled the scene he had seen before he fell into a coma. He wondered if he was hallucinating because he had been ill for too long. He thought he saw Chi Qiangwei.
"I just had a dream that Chi Qiangwei saved me."
Wan Rou felt a little uncomfortable listening to this.
At this moment, Chi Qiangwei walked in carrying a lunchbox. She hadn't been seen for several days, and her face looked somewhat pale.
Wan Rou saw her and sat down beside her without saying a word.
Chi Qiangwei walked straight to Xu An's side.
Xu An: "...Rose, you don't look well."
"I haven't had a good rest these past few days," Chi Qiangwei said.
Xu An: "Oh."
Chi Qiangwei handed the lunchbox in her hand to Xu An, who subconsciously leaned back slightly.
Then his eyes flickered, and he said, "Rose, I don't have an appetite. I want to rest for a while. Could you go out for a bit?"
Chi Qiangwei was taken aback. "Okay."
When Chi Qiangwei left, Wan Rou followed her out.
She called out to the other person, "Chi Qiangwei, let me tell you the truth. I'm not actually Xu An's sister, but his girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Chi Qiangwei clenched her hands tightly. "I know."
Wan Rou asked in surprise, "You knew that, so why were you still willing to save Xu An?"
Chi Qiangwei said, "Whether I saved him or not has nothing to do with whether I am his girlfriend or not."
Wan Rou was defeated by Chi Qiangwei, "I never expected you to be so infatuated with Xu An."
She added, "But it makes me even more jealous of you."
"Let me tell you, Xu An doesn't like you. He likes me, so just give up on that idea."
After saying that, she left.
Before Xu An was discharged from the hospital, Chi Qiangwei would come to the hospital to accompany him every day.
However, she could clearly sense that Xu An's attitude towards her had changed.
At this moment, she felt a burning sensation in her chest, and the half of her inner core was about to give way to her human form.
"Xu An, I'm going to the restroom first, I'll be back later." Before he could reply, she ran off.
He watched her departing figure, his eyes thoughtful.
After a while, Chi Qiangwei walked into the ward. Xu An saw her and smiled.
"Rose, are you alright? You look even worse. Why don't you go back and rest for a bit?"
Chi Qiangwei shook her head and walked over. "It's nothing."
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her head, and her vision blurred. She covered her head and shook it.
At this moment, Xu An saw her, and his eyes showed a look of surprise and fear.
"You...you..."
Chi Qiangwei touched her face. "What's wrong with me?"
Red, flower-like things appeared on her face. When Chi Qiangwei touched them, her fingers stung and bled.
“Xu An…” she reached out her hand.
Xu An's eyes showed a look of fear, and he subconsciously shrank back.
Chi Qiangwei was deeply hurt by this scene.
She suddenly remembered her past life, when he would be terrified whenever he saw her in her demonic form.
Why is he still afraid even in this life?
She couldn't bear to look at Xu An's expression anymore and ran away.
