In the silent tent, Mu Fan clearly heard his own rapid heartbeat.
“Senior Brother Mu, I feel terrible, dizzy, want to vomit…”
Qing Yuan nestled in his arms, rubbing uncomfortably against his neck.
Her burning forehead, hot breath, and intoxicating scent burned his nerves.
“Once you drink the medicine, the fever will go away soon. Just hold on a little longer.”
Mu Fan instinctively moved back a bit, trying to put some distance between him and the young man in his arms. His tone, however, was gentler than ever before.
“No medicine, it's so bitter, I don't want to.”
Qing Yuan, dizzy from the fever, insisted on burrowing into his arms.
The more he tried to distance himself, the tighter Qing Yuan clung, seemingly seeking some rare coolness from his body.
“Fine, no medicine. If you feel better, we won't drink anymore.”
Mu Fan gave a bitter smile as he gently held Qing Yuan's burning body, coaxing him like a child.
“No drinking, better soon.”
Qing Yuan muttered to himself, seeming to both respond to Mu Fan and talk to himself.
Mu Fan's eyes drooped slightly, gazing at the pale, gaunt face before him in the dim light, his eyes momentarily bewildered.
Upon reflection, his encounter with Qing Yuan had been brief, only a little over a month.”
A month ago, no one would have thought that Mu Fan, cold and aloof as he was, would treat a stranger so tenderly, nurturing a sense of kindred spirits.”
*
Perhaps the fever-reducing medicine was working, for soon after, Qing Yuan's forehead was no longer scalding, and his breathing gradually eased.”
Mu Fan's tense nerves relaxed as he carefully spread the blanket over Qing Yuan, tucking in the corners.”
Watching Qing Yuan slip into a deep sleep, accompanied by faint snores, Mu Fan finally lay down and closed his eyes to rest.”
Exhausted after their detour to Cangzhou, Mu Fan's body was at its limit, and as soon as he relaxed, a heavy drowsiness overcame him, his eyelids too heavy to open.”
Soon, he too was in a deep sleep.”
Mu Fan's senses once again entered the Dreamland Immortal Realm, where he slept peacefully by the Spirit Lake, surrounded by intoxicating flower scents.”
Unbeknownst to him, at the moment he entered the Dreamland Immortal Realm, Qing Yuan slowly opened her eyes, their bright, intelligent depths shining brilliantly.”
Propping herself up with her right arm, she quietly observed Mu Fan's peaceful, beautiful sleeping face, her eyes filled with a complex, indiscernible expression.”
Yixuan, my sister hopes that you remember your past life but also wishes that you never do.”
That way, you won't be tormented by the unknown and will have a peaceful, trouble-free life.”
*
The next morning, as it started to get light, Mu Fan awoke from his sleep in the Spirit Lake Immortal realm and glanced at Qing Yuan.”
Qing Yuan was still asleep, breathing steadily, her hair slightly damp.”
Mu Fan gently touched her forehead with his palm, which was cool now that the fever had subsided.”
Relieved, he got out of bed, changed his clothes, and freshened up.”
As he finished tidying up, Qing Yuan awoke, propping herself up and trying to get out of bed.”
“Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Don't go on duty today; I'll help you ask for a leave.”
Mu Fan rushed to her side and held her shoulders, trying to stop her.”
“It's fine, I'm better now. It's my first day on duty, and it wouldn't be appropriate not to go.”
Qing Yuan stubbornly got up, put on her uniform, and went to the washbasin to wash her face.”
The cool spring water on her face washed away the sticky sweat, and she took a comfortable breath, feeling incredibly refreshed.”
