At first, Liu Xi and A Zhi were clearly unwilling to give Lu Sangjiu the time of day, but their expressions noticeably softened when she said she could give them the antidote.
After a moment's hesitation, they both blinked at almost the same time.
Lu Sangjiu said with a smile, "Alright, I'll give it to you first."
She fed the antidote to A Zhi.
Soon after taking it, A Zhi felt her strength returning. She gripped the corner of Liu Xi's robe with one hand, then looked timidly at Lu Sangjiu and said, "We... we didn't know each other before."
She said, "I was injured when I was captured. Miss Liu is very kind, so she looked after me."
"Is that so..." Lu Sangjiu glanced at Liu Xi. "I wouldn't have guessed. For someone with such a fiery temper, you're actually a decent person."
Liu Xi, her face cold, ignored her.
She fed a dose of the antidote to Liu Xi as well. "I'm curious. You nearly died for someone you just met. What for?"
