When Xiaoqing opened her eyes, she found that the room was already lit, and the moonlight shone in through the open window, making the room seem particularly quiet. "Sister..." she whispered, and turned her head to look for Bai Suzhen, but the room was empty. She didn't see the person she wanted to see when she woke up, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She sighed and saw a silver halo on the floor near the window, which was illuminated by the moonlight. She was bored and couldn't help staring at the halo. She had just been in a daze for a while, and suddenly heard a "creak" in her ear. The door was gently pushed open. The person who pushed the door in seemed to be afraid of waking up Xiaoqing in the room, so he walked very lightly.
"Sister." Xiaoqing turned her head to look at the door, and a happy smile instantly appeared on her face. The person who pushed the door open was wearing light makeup and plain clothes, spotless. Wasn't she the Bai Suzhen she was thinking of
"Qing'er, you're awake." Bai Suzhen closed the door, put the tray on the table, walked quickly to the bed, met Xiaoqing's eyes, and asked softly, "Do you feel better?"
Xiaoqing nodded and smiled at Bai Suzhen: "Well, sister, I feel much better."
"That's good." Bai Suzhen saw that Xiaoqing's complexion was indeed much better than during the day, and she couldn't help but feel relieved. "It seems that the Nine Dragon Pill that your sister gave you really worked wonders."
Speaking of the Nine Dragon Pill, it is indeed not an ordinary item. Xiao Qing said, "The Nine Dragon Pill was made by the old man Taishang himself as a birthday gift for my father's fiftieth birthday. It has a miraculous effect of healing and strengthening the body."
“So it was the elixir refined by Taishang Laojun. No wonder it has miraculous effects.” Although Bai Suzhen had never met Taishang Laojun before, she had heard of his name for a long time. She knew that the old man used his alchemy furnace to refine countless elixirs and magical medicines. If a cultivator could obtain one of his elixirs, it would be equivalent to decades of hard practice in the mountains.
"There were only two Nine Dragon Pills that the old man gave to my father. My eldest sister was weak, so my father gave one of them to my eldest sister... But I didn't expect that the Nine Dragon Pill would be wasted by me in the end." Xiao Qing stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly.
"Your sister loves you, so she will naturally use the best medicine to treat you." Bai Suzhen saw how Ao Ningshuang and Ao Qingmei cared for Xiaoqing and was extremely envious. The deep affection between siblings was incomparable to outsiders. "Qing'er, you have slept for nearly three hours. I think you must be hungry, right? Why don't you get up and eat something?"
"Okay." Xiaoqing nodded obediently, so Bai Suzhen leaned over and reached out to help her up, still weak, and put a pillow behind her, letting her lean comfortably on the bed. Then she turned to the table, took the blue and white porcelain bowl of hot porridge from the tray, and sat down by the bed. "Qing'er, come and drink some porridge first. You are injured, so you should avoid greasy food. Rice porridge is lighter." Bai Suzhen scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew it gently to cool it down, and then handed the spoon to Xiaoqing's lips.
Xiaoqing lowered her head and opened her mouth, letting Bai Suzhen feed her obediently. The rice porridge was fragrant and delicious, and it felt warm and comfortable in her stomach. "Sister, did you go to the kitchen just now? No wonder I didn't see you when I woke up. But... Sister, did you predict that I would wake up? You actually cooked porridge for me?"
Bai Suzhen smiled, shook her head and said calmly: "How can I calculate so accurately? I just go to the kitchen to reheat the porridge every half an hour. This time it just happened that you woke up."
Xiaoqing was touched and distressed when she heard this. "Sister, you have worked so hard."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just cooking porridge, how can it be so hard?" Bai Suzhen smiled softly and whispered softly: "Come on, eat more."
"I feel sorry for you, my sister..." Xiaoqing swallowed the porridge in her mouth, stared at Bai Suzhen who was so close to her without blinking, raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile.
"Hmm..." Bai Suzhen, who was not used to such sweet words, blushed slightly. Seeing this, Xiaoqing's smile became even more intense. She was in a good mood and ate the whole bowl of porridge even though she had no appetite at first.
"I'll go to the kitchen and get another bowl—" Bai Suzhen saw that the bowl of porridge was empty, so she wanted to get up and go to the kitchen, but was pulled back by Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing shook her head and said, "Sister, I'm full, no need to get another bowl."
"You only eat so little?" Bai Suzhen knew Xiaoqing's appetite. She never ate so little on normal days.
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "Well, a bowl of porridge is enough. I'm not very hungry."
"Well, okay." Seeing Xiaoqing nod confidently, Bai Suzhen didn't force it. She took the bowl of porridge away and turned back to remind her, "Qing'er, lie down and sleep for a while. Rest more so that your body can recover faster."
"Sister, can you stay with me?" Xiaoqing stared at Bai Suzhen and asked. She didn't want to be alone, she wanted Bai Suzhen to stay with her.
"Well, I'll leave after you fall asleep, Qing'er." Bai Suzhen said with a smile, and her slender hand slowly stroked Xiaoqing's slender and beautiful eyebrows, but Xiaoqing grabbed it and pulled it down, "Sister, I don't want to leave, I want you to stay all night and accompany me."
"Qing'er..."
"Sister, I'm injured now, you have to obey me and follow my will." Xiaoqing moved to the inside of the bed and pulled Bai Suzhen onto the bed without saying a word.
Bai Suzhen shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know how an injured person could still have so much strength.
"Okay, I won't leave." Knowing that she couldn't persuade Xiaoqing, Bai Suzhen had no choice but to compromise. "But - you have to be honest." As soon as she said this, Bai Suzhen regretted it a little. What was she worried about? Was she worried that Xiaoqing, who was injured, would still have the energy to be dishonest
"Of course I will be obedient..." Xiaoqing replied cheerfully. She put her hands around Bai Suzhen's waist, buried her face in Bai Suzhen's arms, closed her eyes, and murmured contentedly: "...Hold your sister obediently and sleep well."
Bai Suzhen's cheeks were slightly hot. She couldn't help but feel nervous when Xiaoqing held her so tightly. Fortunately, Xiaoqing seemed to be really tired and fell asleep again soon. In the dim light, Bai Suzhen lowered her eyes and stared at Xiaoqing, who was like a child in her arms. Tenderness flowed through her eyes, and slowly a doting smile overflowed from her lips...
The author has something to say: I just saw the email from the editor that custom printing can be ordered from a minimum of one copy. Oh, I can also have a paper book of my own. Haha, not bad, not bad, it makes me happy... But I still need to revise the text and correct typos. Oh, I will be very tired by then.
