Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the Ye residence, Rong Qi was taking Lu Qi’s pulse when she suddenly grabbed Rong Qi’s wrist.
“Let me go, please,” Lu Qi pleaded, her eyes still shut.
Rong Qi paused, then gently patted her, “Lu Qi, it’s me, Rong Qi. Wake up.”
“No, stay away… please!”
“Lu Qi, wake up,” Rong Qi urged, patting her face.
The fever had subsided somewhat, but Lu Qi’s temperature was still high.
Slowly waking, Lu Qi’s face was filled with fear, but upon seeing Rong Qi clearly, she realized she had been rescued.
“Seven! I knew you would come to save me. They did horrible things to me, so horrible.”
Lu Qi sat up abruptly, hugging Rong Qi, her voice hoarse but unable to suppress her urge to cry.
Rong Qi comforted her, “Cry if you need to. I’m here.”
Lu Qi sobbed louder and more sorrowfully in her embrace.
Ye Nanshen returned to find Rong Qi being hugged by another woman. He stood silently at the door and met with Rong Qi’s gaze across the room.
Rong Qi waved him away, signaling him to close the door and leave.
Ye Nanshen, feeling a bit slighted, nevertheless obediently prepared to leave, giving space to his wife and the other woman.
However, just as he was about to exit, Lu Qi, hearing the noise, let go of Rong Qi and looked toward the door, confused.
“M-Mr. Ye, sorry for taking up Seven’s time. I was just so upset. Y-you don’t mind, do you?”
Ye Nanshen responded coldly with a “Hmm” and left the room. His departure seemed somewhat discontented.
After seeing Lu Qi’s mood stabilize, Rong Qi asked Mrs. Hong to bring up some chicken soup for her.
Feeling physically better, Lu Qi’s spirits lifted. She jokingly said to Rong Qi, “Thank you, Rong Qi. You’ve saved me so many times. I have nothing to repay you with. Can I offer myself?”
Rong Qi’s lips twitched slightly, “It wasn’t me who saved you this time.”
“Ah? If not you, then who?” Lu Qi asked as she was puzzled.
Suddenly, Lu Qi remembered a scene of Lu Chengzhou carrying her in a rush.
“Was it Lu Chengzhou?” Lu Qi asked. She was uncertain, fearing it was a dream.
But Rong Qi confirmed with a nod.
“It really was him!” Lu Qi’s face flushed, asking, “Where is he now?”
“Getting revenge for you. The ones who bullied you are probably getting beaten up now.”
Lu Qi giggled shyly, burrowing into the blankets, her heart pounding wildly.
The sadness from her earlier ordeal seemed completely gone.
Just then, Rong Qi’s phone rang with a video call from Lu Chengzhou.
Rong Qi swiped to answer.
Lu Chengzhou’s handsome face appeared, his brow furrowed, “Rong Qi, is Sachima awake?”
“She’s awake,” Rong Qi said, showing Lu Qi the phone screen.
Lu Qi blushed, looking at the person in the video.
Lu Chengzhou’s face brightened upon seeing Lu Qi, his eyes blinking a few times before saying, “Good to know you’re awake. Look at these guys, satisfied? If not, I can throw a few more punches.”
Lu Chengzhou then turned the camera around..
