Shen Jingyu suddenly spoke formally, "After the last incident with the Consort, I have decided that I will no longer concern myself with Ruo Xi. She is not a burden I will carry for a lifetime; you are my breath and heartbeat."
Su Xing widened his eyes in astonishment. Had he really managed to release the heavy gratitude he had been holding inside?
"You don't need to do this for me. Gratitude is a basic virtue; I won't stop you from protecting her."
"She has already gone astray! Continuing to protect her would only aid in her wrongdoing."
Shen Jingyu was well aware of what Han Ruoxi had become now.
Su Xing wouldn't be generous enough to completely forgive Han Ruoxi after hearing about her relationship with Han Shuo, as well as the connection between Han Shuo and Shen Jingyu. She was also grateful to Han Shuo, the man she had never met. "If it weren't for Han Shuo, would I ever see you again?"
Shen Jingyu felt a small woman suddenly lean closer to him; she was concerned for him.
In truth, Su Xing was also apprehensive about what he had experienced. The brush with death he had faced likely wouldn't be the only time.
Finally, Shen Jingyu's heart softened in her embrace. "So, will you cherish the days you can still see me? You must never casually say you're single again, understand?!"
Shen Jingyu spoke these words with an extremely serious tone.
Su Xing slowly curled her lips into a smile, her face resting against his arm as she enjoyed this moment, two patients leaning on each other.
Shen Jingyu had thought they would share a few heartfelt words of friendship, but he hadn't expected the little woman’s thoughts to be so scattered.
Su Xing smacked her lips and asked him, "So, what rank do you hold? Is it higher than that Rong Xigu from earlier?"
Shen Jingyu chuckled but answered her seriously, "Even if it's higher, I cannot reveal it to others. It's just a title—an honor that cannot be displayed."
He opened his arms, allowing her to rest against his chest.
Su Xing propped herself up and asked, "Where is your wound? Will lying on you like this touch your injury?"
"It won't; you'll heal my wounds," Shen Jingyu said as he pulled her closer into his embrace.
These past two days had felt empty, but now there was finally some semblance of peace.
"Star, you still haven't put my mind at ease. You must not say you're single again! You need to make it clear to everyone that you are truly my woman!"
Su Xing thought of certain indescribable scenarios and couldn't help but smile.
Shen Jingyu inhaled sharply. "You daring woman, are you trying to tempt me?"
"Wait until you're healed; this time you can't escape! Just three more days, right?"
Shen Jingyu had not forgotten what Qin Yi mentioned about that seven-day onset of a certain condition. He wondered if this poisoning would affect that.
Su Xing had been peacefully dozing with Shen Jingyu for an hour when Qin Yi rushed in. Upon pushing the door open, he was greeted by the harmonious sight of the two lovers in an embrace. Just then, he was jolted by a force from behind.
A person barged in casually, "What's wrong? Don't want to disturb them?"
If they weren't disturbed, would they be able to hold each other forever? He doubted it.
Still not awake, Qin Yi counted silently for three seconds before his eyes widened in alarm: "Not good! They're unconscious!"
Immediately, the research team gathered around to report. He quickly donned a white lab coat and approached to begin examining them. The dried bloodstains on the white pillow were clearly from their eyes.
The situation caused everyone to tense up.
Qin Yi had been busy from afternoon until nightfall. As dusk fell and the city lights began to twinkle, the research lab in the outskirts was filled with chaos.
Qin Yi was so exhausted that he nearly collapsed at the testing station. After setting down a report, one of his students looked at him with concern.
"Qin Yi, you should take a break. You haven't rested since yesterday; if this continues, you'll collapse before Mr. Shen is treated."
Qin Yi pinched his brow and replied softly, "As long as I don't collapse, I won't abandon him."
Shen Jingyu was Qin Yi's benefactor, and he had decided to stay by his side for life. He was a genius doctor; however, Shen Jingyu's cases always pushed him to his limits, forcing him to work hard to improve himself.
In a way, they were mutually achieving greatness!
The antidote for Brother Yu was easy; Su Xing's situation was difficult.
Qin Yi's real concern was that if he couldn't resolve Su Xing's poison, Shen Jingyu's future wouldn't be easy either. Regarding this issue, he couldn't make a hasty decision alone; after lengthy discussions with Rong Xigu, they decided to keep Shen Jingyu in the dark for now and focus on maintaining Su Xing's health without any further complications.
After receiving the antidote, Shen Jingyu lay down for two days before he could spring back to life and move around again. Su Xing seemed to be in better shape than Shen Jingyu; her recovery was evidently much slower.
Initially puzzled, Shen Jingyu later questioned Qin Yi about it and felt a hint of strategy brewing within him.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye; Su Xing's eyes had regained some clarity, but she still experienced frequent headaches and hadn't fully regained her strength.
Su Xing watched as soldiers came and went in the hospital room, feeling quite out of place. One afternoon, she brought it up to Shen Jingyu, saying, "I want to go home and rest. It doesn't feel right here."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it," Shen Jingyu replied, his reasoning sound. "Xiao Jie hasn't been caught yet; your safety needs to be protected. Clearly, you are safest here."
"I've already communicated with Aunt He. Your father was once a member of the military, so military families are not unwelcome here."
Su Xing nearly forgot her father's former profession. Only her mother remembered it clearly.
That man, Xiao Jie? How did he possess such capability to escape under the pursuit of three factions? Su Xing voiced the question that puzzled all the high-ranking officials. Was it possible that Xiao Jie could sprout wings and fly away?
He couldn't possibly escape; the airspace had long been controlled. He was definitely still in the city, hiding among the crowd like a rat.
Su Xing felt that having such a dangerous person still lurking among the populace posed a significant threat to the citizens. Bored and lost in thought, she suddenly had an idea after catching a glimpse of Shen Jingyu's face.
She speculated aloud, "What if he has undergone facial alteration? You all have confirmed his name and identity, but you never got a good look at his face. Nowadays, makeup and disguises are incredibly common! If he possesses any special skills, finding him would be even harder!"
Shen Jingyu met Su Xing's gaze. Her mind was always quick to turn.
"That's exactly what I was considering," he said. "He may change his appearance, but there are still many ways to gather evidence. It might just take some time."
Su Xing pondered for a moment before adding, "What if he has a protector?"
Shen Jingyu's pupils widened in shock.
It was then that Su Xing realized they had both overlooked an important issue.
