At this moment, Qiu Qianqian was so cold that she seemed to have lost all feeling.
His hands and feet were immobile, his eyes were closed, and even his mouth was just as Jing Zhe had imagined. If he didn't pry it open, he couldn't even put the medicine in. But when the medicine entered his mouth, he felt something was off.
I feel like this shouldn't taste like this...
But how could she possibly think that much right now?
With Jing Zhe's help, the pill was swallowed after a few sips of warm water.
Jing Zhe laid her down flat again, and without any hesitation, he held her hand, wanting to see if the medicine would work.
Even the most miraculous medicine cannot work immediately.
About fifteen minutes after eating, Jing Zhe felt that Qiu Qianqian's hands were no longer so cold.
It worked!
Looking at Qiu Qianqian's face again, the frost on her eyelashes and lips had long since disappeared, and her cheeks had changed from pale to rosy, and she was gradually returning to her healthy state.
Seeing this, Jing Zhe was overjoyed and reached out to check Qiu Qianqian's forehead temperature. As soon as his hand touched her, Qiu Qianqian opened her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them—and even more surprisingly, Jing Zhe could see a seductive charm in that cold glint…
What kind of expression is that?
Jing Zhe was surprised and a little angry: How could this woman not even have a shred of gratitude?
I saved your life, so what's wrong with touching you a couple of times?
Besides, it wasn't intentional...
"What did you give me to eat?!"
This wasn't a rhetorical question, but rather an interrogation, which left Jing Zhe completely bewildered.
"Take the antidote, the one you said was in your right pocket!"
Jing Zhe said confidently.
But Qiu Qianqian's voice was trembling with tears: "What you gave me... wasn't the antidote! You bastard!"
"..."
After hearing this, Jing Zhe was furious and was about to retort, but after seeing Qiu Qianqian's current expression, he froze and couldn't say a word.
If a normal person's complexion is slightly pale with a hint of rosiness, then Qiu Qianqian's complexion just now and Qiu Qianqian now are two extremes.
Just now, Qiu Qianqian's face was deathly pale, without a trace of color, and her body temperature was as cold as ice.
Now, Qiu Qianqian's face had changed from the rosy glow she had after taking the medicine to a bright red—almost the same color as the pill she had just taken, as if it were on fire!
The medicine from Tongtianque is absolutely amazing!
One makes you feel as cold as ice, the other makes you feel as hot as fire!
She touched Qiu Qianqian's hand and quickly pulled it back: "What's wrong? Why is it so hot!"
Qiu Qianqian glanced at him, then sat up.
Seeing this, Jing Zhe thought Qiu Qianqian was lying to him. Could this be the effect of the antidote? Was it to remove the previous chills by causing fever? Otherwise, how could she regain her strength and sit up?
"What a mess you've made!"
Qiu Qianqian's breathing became heavy, and her whole body was flushed, especially her face, which was so tender that it looked as if you could squeeze water out of it.
"It's alright, I just helped you find the antidote, so it's a good thing! But I'm happy to do good deeds and don't ask for anything in return. If Miss Qiu really feels bad about it, then let's not fight each other when we meet in the future."
Jing Zhe said modestly, thinking to himself that Qiu Qianqian was really teasing him. She had indeed taken the antidote, and her current state was just a normal reaction to the medication.
"..."
Seeing Jing Zhe shamelessly claim credit, Qiu Qianqian was furious.
"You bastard!"
She cursed through gritted teeth.
"Miss Qiu, that's really uncivilized of you! I clearly saved your life, and instead of saying thank you, you're swearing at me. That's incredibly rude!"
"Pooh!"
Qiu Qianqian spat, "Save my life? You're trying to kill me! What you gave me wasn't the antidote at all!"
"Impossible! Don't talk nonsense. You clearly told me that the antidote was in the right pocket, so I went to get it. Besides, you gave me instructions!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe pointed to Qiu Qianqian's chest.
Qiu Qianqian didn't need to blush, because her face was already red enough. She gritted her teeth again and said, "Look again, is this the right side?"
"Left...right, isn't this right—"
He was halfway through his sentence when Jing Zhe suddenly froze.
In the urgency of the situation, he didn't think much after hearing "right side" and chose the right side based on his own perspective. Little did he know that he was standing opposite Qiu Qianqian, and what he saw as the right side was actually Qiu Qianqian's left side!
Emmm…
However, he couldn't admit his mistake, so he said, "Miss Qiu, you can't entirely blame me. After all, the situation was urgent just now. Besides, when I was touching, you were giving me instructions, weren't you? You didn't object or say that I was touching the left side, right? So you can't blame me!"
"You bastard!"
Qiu Qianqian cursed again: "I wasn't even thinking straight just now, how could I tell whether you touched the left or the right side?"
When she mentioned "touching," she seemed to recall the feeling of fullness that the warm, large hand had given her earlier, and Qiu Qianqian immediately felt weak in the knees, squeezed her legs together, and quickly leaned against the headboard.
Jing Zhe didn't notice Qiu Qianqian's change, and continued, "If that's the case, we're both at fault, so don't blame me! Besides, even though we went to the wrong place, the antidote is right!"
In Jing Zhe's view, Qiu Qianqian was pale and cold just now, unable to move, and didn't even have the strength to open her eyes or mouth. But now Qiu Qianqian's face was flushed, and she could speak and move. Wasn't that a good sign?
"Antidote?"
Qiu Qianqian spat: "What you gave me was Soul-Stealing Incense!"
"..."
Soul-capturing incense…
This is very familiar to Jing Zhe!
Back in the cabin of the pleasure boat, it was because of the Soul-Capturing Incense that he accidentally took Wang Yingqiu and began a magical journey. Although the Soul-Capturing Incense was not a good thing, it was not a bad thing to him.
"This... can't be right?"
Jing Zhe took two steps back, looking wary.
You can't wrong an innocent person!
"I'm accusing you?"
Qiu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him. "Pah, why would I wrong you?"
"Heh, who knows? You don't have some ulterior motives towards me, so you're trying to blackmail me by using the name of Soul-Capturing Incense, do you? If you have something on your mind, just tell me the truth. Don't try these underhanded tricks! Let me tell you, I won't fall for that!"
"You just grabbed some random medicine and called it 'Soul-Capturing Incense,' I don't believe you! Besides, 'Soul-Capturing Incense,' it's a kind of incense, I clearly gave you medicine!"
Jing Zhe was filled with righteous indignation, and at the same time, the evidence was conclusive.
He was poisoned when he smelled the unique and strong fragrance of the Soul-Capturing Incense while he was in the cabin of the pleasure boat. But what he gave Qiu Qianqian just now was clearly medicine!
Hmm, but that smell seems so familiar...
