"Xiu, were you awake just now?"
"You're pretending to be asleep!"
Sun Li knelt on the bed, staring suspiciously at Luo Xiu's serene, sleeping face.
"I already saw you! You're still pretending!"
"Get up, or I'll put these stinky socks on your face!"
Luo Xiu felt miserable, knowing he couldn't fake it any longer. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Sun Li.
She was dangling one of his own worn socks in front of his eyes with two fingers, all while wearing an innocently cute smile.
Luo Xiu sighed, reached out, and pushed her head to the side.
Lin Xiyue approached the bed, holding a bowl of medicine Li Jiuzhen had just prepared. Her gaze was gentle as she looked at Luo Xiu.
"How are you feeling?"
Luo Xiu propped himself up and gave a long stretch. His joints cracked like popping beans. The sound made one's scalp tingle, yet it was also somewhat relieving.
After waking up, he felt his body was lighter than ever before, as if filled with boundless strength both inside and out.
