Qi Qingyao rubbed her eyes, preserving her final strand of consciousness. “You’re finally awake. You really scared me. I thought you were going to kick the bucket.”

Lu Yan, “…”

What a way to speak!

“Talk a little.” Qi Qingyao was afraid he might faint again.

Lu Yan had drunk the tea but his throat still felt very dry. His head was spinning and his consciousness was still a little blurry. However, noticing Qi Qingyao’s bloodshot eyes, he blearily thought, ‘She can’t possibly have been here the whole time?’

Qi Qingyao suddenly realized the servant had come to deliver the medicine again.

She said casually, “Since you’re up, come and drink this medicine.”

“One is a fever-reducing medicine and the other is medicine to treat the wound.”

Since Lu Yan was awake now, it was naturally much more convenient for him to drink the medicine himself. After having him swallow the medicine, Qingyao sighed with relief.

She said, “I’ve changed the medicine on your chest wound. And you’ve also taken your medicine! Quickly lay down and sleep.”

Lu Yan’s mind was hazy and he had no energy to think much more about other things. His consciousness flickering out, he once again fell into a slumber.

“Dong Jing!” Qi Qingyao saw the silhouette pa.s.sing by the front door and shouted, “Get in here and take care of your master!”

Dong Jing came in.

Qi Qingyao pointed at Lu Yan and said, “He’s pa.s.sed the critical stage and has woken up just now. What’s next is to take care of his injury until it heals. As for me! I can’t stand this anymore, I need to go to sleep!”

Dong Jing nodded blankly.

He vaguely indicated his understanding.

Qi Qingyao yawned as she went to the next room to sleep.

She did not even take off her clothes. Head pressed to the bed, she quickly fell fast asleep…

Dong Jing remained by the head of the bed. As he watched over Lu Yan, he looked at the condition of the man on the bed and could not help but feel his heart clench. He blamed himself for not taking better care of his master! After he left to settle everything he had been a.s.signed to do, he came back inside and vigilantly sat watch by the head of the bed.

When the time came for the master to take his afternoon dose of medicine, Dong Jing gently woke Lu Yan up.

“Master, it’s time for your medicine.”

After Lu Yan was woken up, he realized that there was only Dong Jing by the head of the bed.

The first thing he said was, “Where is she?”

“The lady is still asleep in the next room,” Dong Jing explained. “She had been keeping watch over you ever since you got hurt. She hasn’t gotten any shut-eye for a day and two nights! She only went to rest when she saw that you woke up just now.”

Lu Yan, “???”

That woman had watched over him for that long?

After Lu Yan drank his medicine, he asked Dong Jing to support him to a sitting position.

“You’re still hurt, you can’t get up.”

“I’m only hurt in the chest, not my behind!” Lu Yan said sourly.

After the admonishment, Dong Jing saw no way around it and could only help the master up.

Although he was still weak, Lu Yan was not one to lie there waiting to die. After sitting up, he turned to the left unaided and actually tried to get out of bed. This instantly frightened Dong Jing.

Lu Yan waved his hand and told him that it was fine.

After getting off the bed, Dong Jing hurriedly helped Lu Yan put on some clothes and then made the brazier in the room burn brighter.

The pain in Lu Yan’s chest was intense.

He asked Dong Jing if there was anything to eat, and the servant immediately requested for someone to prepare some food. Not long after that, a few dishes that were adequate for a recovering patient were brought in, along with clear congee and almond milk tea.

Lu Yan sat on the arhat couch. He spoke while he ate.

“The news of my injury has been kept from the public, I a.s.sume?”

“This servant did not publicize it,” Dong Jing said. “The lady had me look into the attack and I found the first clue.”

Before he had even gotten into the finer details, Lu Yan’s eyes were already wide open. “A rank-nine archer? You found a clue?”

Dong Jing did not expect that the master would already know the a.s.sailant’s background without him mentioning their rank. He said, “By method of elimination, it should be Na Lanjie of Wushuang City.”

“Na Lanjie. He wants to kill Qi Qingyao. But why?” Lu Yan’s chopsticks paused. It did not make sense, why would someone from Wushuang City want to kill Qi Qingyao? Were they even related in any way? Could it be Jiang Siliu who instigated it? That was impossible too, however—the Jiang family did not have that much power!

Dong Jing continued, “The lady dreads that she might have offended someone from the covert organization. She doesn’t know anything herself but she said she’d figure it out eventually, so there was no rush…”

Lu Yan nodded slightly.

For a person from Wushuang City to a.s.sa.s.sinate Qi Qingyao, they even sent a rank-nine archer. This was… likely impossible to say that there was no hatred behind this!

Lu Yan asked, “How’s the situation outside?”

Dong Jing said, “After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth, things have been very peaceful in Qingzhou City. No one knows that you’re recuperating here. We had also been buying medicine from the next-door pharmacy that belongs to us so that no news would be leaked.”

Lu Yan asked, “Where’s Lucky?”

Dong Jing replied, “The white cat is on the roof of the Qi Residence to create the illusion that you’re still inside the Qi Residence.”

Lu Yan was more or less done with his food. He said, “We’ll go back to the Qi Residence in the afternoon.”

“But the lady is still asleep…” Dong Jing said hurriedly.

“Then, we’ll return tomorrow morning.”

…

…

Qi Qingyao slept all the way till morning the next day before she woke up. She did not wake up naturally, but was awoken by her hunger. After getting up, Qi Qingyao glanced at the morning light of dawn trickling in from the east.

After was.h.i.+ng her face, she went next door to see Lu Yan. She realized that Lu Yan was already well-prepared and was seated on the arhat couch waiting for her.

Qi Qingyao was surprised.

“What’s up with you? Why aren’t you lying down?”

“We should head back.”

“Head back? You need to rest a few more days.”

Qi Qingyao sat beside him and picked up a piece of pastry before wolfing it down.

“I don’t need rest.”

“Huh?”

“If I rest any more, people will start noticing. It’s best if no one knows I got hurt.”

“But…”

“We should utilize the daylight and hurry home. I can recuperate there just as well.”

Lu Yan’s arguments made sense to Qi Qingyao so she hurriedly followed him into the carriage to head home.

Qi Qingyao was sitting in his carriage this time.

Lu Yan did not notice anything amiss when he got into the carriage. When Qi Qingyao got into the carriage as well, he finally realized that the two of them were in the carriage alone. This made Lu Yan suddenly feel tense.

Qi Qingyao knew about his disorder and so quietly inched closer to the door, keeping her distance from him.

She had studied psychology before.

For him, this was something different from claustrophobia.

He found it unbearable when someone was in his s.p.a.ce…

However, she could not just stop breathing now, could she?

Qi Qingyao looked at his gradually paling face.

Then she called for Dong Jing to stop the carriage.

She said to Lu Yan, “It’s better if you take the carriage of your own, I’ll just walk back!”

Saying this, she was just about to open the door and get out when Lu Yan grabbed her by her arm.

Qi Qingyao turned to look back at him curiously.

“No need!”

“What do you mean ‘no need’? Look at you…” Qi Qingyao pointed at his complexion.

“I just need to get used to it.” Lu Yan loosened his grip and then sat back down.

Qi Qingyao had no choice but to sit back down, still as a statue.

The journey from Qingyang Lake to the East District was not a short one either.

After riding in the carriage for a while, Qi Qingyao began dozing off blearily as she usually did. Soon she fell fast asleep, right next to him.

Lu Yan watched on with shock.

After she fell asleep.

Lu Yan went closer to her. Realizing that the woman was asleep, the feeling of aggression and invasion that he felt reduced significantly, and he allowed himself a sigh with relief.

After the carriage eventually arrived at the back gate of the Qi Residence, Lu Yan first got off the carriage. Qi Qingyao was woken up by Dong Jing. She rubbed her eyes and stretched her waist before getting down the carriage as well.

The white cat had at some point come running from the front gate to the back gate. When it saw Lu Yan, it instantly whizzed over and jumped onto his shoulder. It looked like it was expecting Lu Yan to hug it.

Lu Yan simply rubbed its head and went in.

He whispered, “I’m injured, so I can’t hug you for now.”

The white cat was stunned. After thinking about something, it jumped down from his shoulder.

The white cat stood at the threshold of the door and looked at Qi Qingyao, who came in behind Lu Yan.. It thought, ‘This woman is rather capable, it’s no wonder Si Jin likes her.’
