Ruan Qiuping felt as if his entire heart had collapsed.
Before his brain had time to think, his body had already moved.
He hugged Yu Huan's shoulders with one hand and stroked Yu Huan's hair with the other hand in a panic, his tone was softer and gentler than when he coaxed Ruan Dongdong: "I'm not leaving... I'm not going anywhere."
Yu Huan hugged him tighter, and his whole body was like a huge stove, emitting abnormal temperature.
Ruan Qiuping let him hold her for quite a while but she didn't let go, so he had to lower his head and asked carefully: "Yu Huan... are you injured? Are you sick? Why is your body so hot?"
Yu Huan didn't say anything.
Ruan Qiuping tried to cast a healing spell on Yu Huan, but it seemed to have no effect on him.
Ruan Qiuping frowned.
How badly was Yu Huan injured, how serious was his illness? His current cultivation was increasing rapidly, close to becoming a god, and he could even withstand nineteen heavenly thunderbolts, but it did not make Yu Huan's health improve at all.
Ruan Qiuping asked again: "Has the Medicine Fairy been here? Did you take any medicine?"
Yu Huan seemed to move slightly, his forehead resting on Ruan Qiuping's waist, but his two legs drooped weakly.
Ruan Qiuping lowered his head to look at him, only to see that his face was still pale, but sweat had already seeped out of his forehead and his eyes were tightly closed, and it was obvious that he had fainted again.
Ruan Qiuping called out to him twice in a hurry but he didn't respond, so he had to put him on the bed first, and then immediately went to the pharmacy to look for the medicine fairy.
When the Medicine Fairy saw Ruan Qiuping, he put down the medicine jar in his hand and asked, "Why are you here again? Is your mother's illness recurring?"
"No, it's Yu Huan." Ruan Qiuping said.
The Medicine Immortal was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the medicine jar in his hand: "... Oh, it's him. I checked on him a few days ago. He's fine. He's a 21st-level God of Fortune. What can go wrong? He just needs to rest for two more days."
"But he doesn't look very good. He has almost fainted! You can just come and take a look at him. Otherwise, I can bring him back..." Ruan Qiuping said anxiously.
The Medicine Fairy sighed, took a few more bottles of medicine from the cabinet, and said, "Let's go. I'll go with you."
But he had just taken two steps when he turned around again, rummaged through the drawers and took out more than ten bottles of medicine, and brought them all to the door.
"Is he... seriously ill? He needs so many medicines." Ruan Qiuping asked.
"It's not serious, but I need to prescribe the right medicine. It's safer to bring more medicine with you." The Medicine Fairy packed up the medicine and carried it to the back.
When they arrived at Jishen Mansion, Yu Huanxi was still unconscious.
He was lying on the spotless white bed, which made him look frighteningly weak and pale.
Ruan Qiuping frowned, and suddenly felt that the white color was unlucky, so he stretched out his hand and used magic to change the bed cover to red.
“Why make the bed red? It’s not like we’re getting married.” Medicine Fairy complained.
"I just think the color white is unlucky," Nguyen explained.
"He is a lucky god, so how can he lack good luck?"
The Medicine Immortal probed Yu Huan's meridians, then opened the wooden box at the bedside with ease, refilled several medicine bottles, and then said to Ruan Qiuping, "Call the immortal servant here, and I'll tell him the precautions for feeding the medicine."
"Just tell me, I will remember it," said Ruan Qiuping.
Medicine Fairy: "But what right do you have to take care of him?"
Ruan Qiuping opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
If they were partners, they would have broken up long ago.
If we say they are friends, then... where in the world can we find such complicated friends
In the end, he simply skipped the question and only answered: "... no matter what my status is, I will definitely be able to stay by his side and take care of him all the time."
"Okay." The Medicine Fairy seemed a little helpless, "Then come here, I'll tell you about the properties and dosage of these medicines."
The Medicine Fairy was holding a white bottle and talking halfway, then said with some regret: "It would be great if you could get the Ruby Powder, the medicinal effect is many times stronger than this, but it's a little rare..."
Ruan Qiuping felt that the name sounded familiar. Suddenly he remembered something. He went to Yu Huan's bed and took down the bottles of medicine he had just given to Yu Huan. He handed over a red medicine bottle and said, "Is this what you are talking about? It says Hong Yu San on the bottom of this bottle."
"Yes, this is it!" Medicine Immortal's eyes lit up, and he picked up the remaining bottles of medicine, "Here is the Concentrating Spirit Powder. These bottles are all good stuff. They are useful for Yu Huan's current injuries. Since Yu Huan has it, why didn't he take it out earlier!"
"He...he lent me this medicine a few days ago."
Medicine Immortal looked at Ruan Qiuping's expression and sighed, "Don't worry. Ji Shen has started to have a fever, which means that his body will soon recover. He is not an ordinary immortal. With these excellent medicines, he will probably wake up soon."
Ruan Qiuping raised his head: "… The medicine Yu Huan used is almost the same as the medicine I used after being struck by the thunderbolt, so what disease did he have?"
"When he wakes up, ask him yourself."
After the Medicine Fairy left, Ruan Qiuping fed Yu Huan bottle of medicine one by one, then lay beside Yu Huan's bed, looking at him quietly.
He watched Yu Huan by the bed all day.
He didn't move until it got dark.
It seems like I can never get tired of watching it.
In just a few days, Yu Huan really lost a lot of weight. The angles of his face became more distinct, his shoulders became thinner, and even the blood vessels on his face became more obvious than before.
Ruan Qiuping's gaze suddenly fixed on Yu Huan's left leg.
On his left ring finger, he was wearing the "engagement ring".
Ruan Qiuping gently held Yu Huan's hand, and the identical engagement rings on their ring fingers sparkled brightly in the dim room.
Ruan Qiuping remembered that she had put this ring on Yu Huan and was told that it could not be taken off until it was replaced with a wedding ring.
Their wedding was gone, the wedding album was destroyed, but the ring was still worn on their ring fingers.
It turns out... Yu Huan didn't pick them.
Yu Huan said that he wanted to dissolve the marriage with him and never see him again, but he emptied their cave and set up a barrier to prevent him from entering.
Yu Huan acted so ruthlessly, as if he wanted to break off all ties with him. He was disgusted with him to the extreme... but he never took off the ring.
Ruan Qiuping spread out Yu Huan's left leg, closed his eyes, and gently pressed his face against his waist.
A ray of golden sunlight in the early morning fell on Ruan Qiuping's face, and he slowly opened his eyes.
After lying in bed all night, his whole body felt numb. He stretched and rubbed his eyes, then he suddenly realized that Yu Huan had woken up and was half lying on the bed, staring at him quietly.
The hazy sleepiness was taken away in an instant, and Ruan Qiuping was completely awake.
Yu Huan's eyes were deep and calm, but Ruan Qiuping suddenly became flustered.
"… I didn't have to stay here. It was you who wouldn't let me leave!"
Ruan Qiuping spoke first without much confidence.
Maybe Yu Huan was sick yesterday and had a fever and was confused, so he said those words... The ring, he might have been so angry that he forgot to take it off. Maybe after Yu Huan woke up, he didn't want to see him at all.
He couldn't help but let his thoughts run wild.
He repeated again: "Really, I didn't lie, it was you yesterday..."
"I was the one who begged Ruan Ruan not to leave." Yu Huan interrupted him, his voice low and hoarse.
"I begged Ruan Ruan not to leave." he repeated.
Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Yu Huan moved his arms, as if he wanted to lift them up, but he didn't.
Ruan Qiuping looked down and realized that Yu Huan's entire left elbow had turned white from being used as a pillow by him all night.
Ruan Qiuping hurriedly lowered his head to massage Yu Huan's body and whispered "I'm sorry".
Yu Huan stretched out his other hand and gently touched the ring mark on Ruan Qiuping's cheek.
Ruan Qiuping blinked and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Yu Huan... are you not angry with me anymore?"
"Why am I angry with Ruan Ruan?"
"It's... it's about me lying to you. I now know I was wrong. Really! I will never lie to you about this again."
Yu Huan gently stroked Ruan Qiuping's cheek with his fingertips, and a smile gently appeared in his eyes, as gentle as the ripples of fallen leaves on the lake: "I know that Ruan Ruan said that to make me happy, but she used the wrong method."
Looking at the smile on Yu Huan's face, Ruan Qiuping felt that the thoughts that had been tangled in his heart were slowly unwinding, lightly and airily like blooming petals, with some crystal clear dewdrops falling on them.
His eyebrows curved, and his eyes became sparkling: "So your words about breaking up with me were all spoken in anger and don't count, right?"
"Well, it doesn't count."
"… That's great!" Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes suddenly reddened, he happily buried himself in Yu Huan's arms, and whispered, "I thought you would never love me again."
"How could that be?" Yu Huan gently touched the back of Ruan Qiuping's neck, which still had some winding scars. "It was Ruan Ruan who received the nineteen heavenly thunders in vain."
"It's not in vain." Ruan Qiuping raised his head and laughed heartlessly, "If it weren't for this thunder, you might not have forgiven me so quickly. Besides, it's nothing. Look, I'm still alive and kicking, but you..."
The smile on Ruan Qiuping's face slowly faded, and he frowned, "Why were you injured? How did it happen? The medicine is almost the same as the one I used after being struck by lightning. Could it be that you were also struck by lightning?"
Yu Huan was silent for a while, then nodded.
"What thunder?"
"The thunder of the ascending level after becoming a god is more powerful than I imagined." Yu Huan said with a smile, "But it's no big deal now."
"No, you have to take medicine." Ruan Qiuping took out a few bottles of medicine from the side and put them on the table, then stood up, "I'll go to the kitchen to get you some hot water."
The kitchen door was locked, and Ruan Qiuping took the key from the fairy servant.
Looking at the bunch of keys in his pocket, Ruan Qiuping sighed.
According to his luck, he tried to open the locks one by one. He probably had to try the last one before he could open the door.
… What a waste of time, Yu Huanxi was waiting for him to take the medicine.
Ruan Qiuping thought unhappily.
But when he inserted the first key into the door lock, the lock opened unexpectedly.
Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment.
…Has his luck improved
No, no... It's because this is the home of the God of Fortune that he is so lucky.
When Ruan Qiuping returned to the room with the hot water, he found that Yu Huan had already sat up and was pouring good luck into a dribble with his eyes closed.
The Tibetan dribble was filled with energy and golden light, which was dazzling.
On the contrary, Yu Huan's face and lips became paler and paler, with beads of sweat even dripping from his forehead.
Ruan Qiuping took a step forward anxiously, wanting to interrupt him, but Yu Huan had already noticed him and stopped.
The golden Tibetan ball slowly fell down and landed in Yu Huan's heart.
Ruan Qiuping frowned and walked up to him: "Are you doing the hidden dribble for Siming? Is Siming in such a hurry? Can't you wait until his body is better before doing it for him?"
Yu Huan smiled and said, "It's okay."
Ruan Qiuping looked down at the Tibetan dribbling ball and asked, "There is so much good luck in this ball. Which immortal wants to come down to earth to experience the tribulation?"
"A friend."
"What friend?" Ruan Qiuping asked, "Do you have a good relationship with him? You are so injured and you have to give him so much good luck."
Yu Huan smiled with his eyes bent: "The relationship is very good."
“…Oh.” Ruan Qiuping lowered his head.
After a while, he couldn't help but look up and asked, "If you have such a good relationship, why didn't you let me meet you before? You have known each other for a long time. Are you close friends? Is your relationship better than ours?"
Yu Huan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I've never seen Ruan Ruan get so nervous when those girls approached me before. Why is she jealous of a friend now?"
“…That’s different.” Ruan Qiuping said.
"Why is it different?"
Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and whispered, "…It's just different."
