The next morning, as a ray of sunlight streamed through the window, Xu Xiangbei awoke. He found Ding Keke leaning on the side of his bed, wearing a pink nurse uniform, her hair scattered as she lay asleep at the bedside, completely immersed in slumber.
Unwilling to disturb her, Xu Xiangbei checked his dantian first and found his True Qi had mostly recovered.
Just as he was about to get up, he noticed Ding Keke waking up. Their eyes met in the air, carrying an inexplicable meaning.
Xu Xiangbei took the initiative to break the silence, "You've worked hard. I'm fine."
"You, don't be so reckless in the future," Ding Keke said softly, pointing her finger at his forehead.
Xu Xiangbei grabbed her fair and smooth fingers, gently took them into his mouth. Ding Keke felt the strange sensation, tried to withdraw her fingers, but found Xu Xiangbei's hand was as hard as iron, no matter how much she tried, she couldn't pull back. Her entire face suddenly turned red.
