As soon as the golden thread entered her body, the complexion of Fujiwara No Chiko, who was lying on the bed, immediately became rosy. Her originally very pale face also began to regain some color.
"Chiko! Chiko! "Ye Fan saw this and quickly shouted.
Fujiwara No Chiko, who was lying on the bed, heard this and her fingers moved slightly. A pair of beautiful eyes slowly opened.
"Chiko is awake!" Ye Fan said happily. Xiao Zhao and the pale-faced scholar beside him also smiled.
"Where am I?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked in an extremely weak voice. She had just woken up and suddenly found herself surrounded by so many people. Apart from Ye Fan, she did not recognize anyone else. As she thought about this, she tried to get up but found that she did not have any strength and could not move at all.
"Chiko, you have been unconscious for several days and did not drink a drop of water. Now that you have just woken up, do not rush to move." Ye Fan said loudly, "They are all good people, they will not hurt you. In order to save you, it is all thanks to them."
Fujiwara No Chiko heard this and quickly nodded to the crowd, "Thank you very much for saving me, Chiko has troubled everyone."
"Let me introduce you," Ye Fan introduced one by one, "This is my adopted Brother Kim, this is my adopted sister Xiao Zhao, and this is your savior, Jinchan. This time, if not for Granny's help, I am afraid that you would have …"
"Qianzi will never forget everyone's kindness." Fujiwara No Chiko was about to get up again but was stopped by Xiao Zhao, "Sister, there is no need to be so polite. You are very weak now, lie on the bed and rest well. I will go get you some food to replenish your strength." After saying this, she turned and left.
"You should have a good rest and eat more light food." Jinchan said to Fujiwara No Chiko. "Clear your stomach first."
"Granny, thank you for saving my life. Chiko will definitely repay you in the future," Fujiwara No Chiko said.
"Silly boy, I'm not the one who put in the most effort this time." Jinchan looked at Ye Fan with a smile. "He's the one who's the most tired." After he finished speaking, he stood up and looked at the pale-faced scholar. "Brother Kim, this place has beautiful mountains and clear waters. It's a completely different world. Can you show me around?"
The pale-faced scholar faintly smiled, "Little sister, what are you saying? Although this Immortal's Cave belongs to my Sworn Brother, I can still make this decision." After he finished speaking, the pale-faced scholar looked at Ye Fan and said, "You two chat first. I'll take little sister Jinchan out for a walk." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with Jinchan.
Ye Fan understood that the two of them were giving him some time alone with Fujiwara No Chiko. He was the only one who was most suitable to explain the detoxification to Fujiwara No Chiko.
"What happened after I fainted?" Fujiwara No Chiko looked at Ye Fan, who had lost a lot of weight, and asked. At this time, Ye Fan was much thinner than before. His face was sallow, and his face looked haggard.
"You should have a good rest first. After you finish eating, I'll slowly tell you." Ye Fan looked at Fujiwara No Chiko's pale face and said in a distressed voice.
Fujiwara No Chiko nodded.
After a while, Xiao Zhao brought a bowl of steaming white rice porridge to the bed. The fragrance of the rice immediately filled the air.
"Brother Ye, porridge." Xiao Zhao placed the porridge on the stone table. "Little sister Chiko, eat more."
"Thank you, big sister Xiao Zhao." Fujiwara No Chiko expressed her gratitude.
Xiao Zhao smiled. "Brother Ye, you two talk. I'll go check on Brother Kim and Granny." She turned around and prepared to leave.
"Thank you for taking care of Chiko these days." Ye Fan said to Xiao Zhao. "Brother Ye doesn't know how to thank you." He was telling the truth. Ever since he left the Lingyun Cave, Xiao Zhao had been wiping Fujiwara No Chiko's body every day. She had never left.
"Brother Ye," Xiao Zhao said with a smile. "No wonder Brother Kim scolded you. You're too polite. Since I call you big brother and you call me little sister, isn't it natural for a little sister to share her brother's burdens? "With that said, she smiled and left. But when she turned around, her face was full of sadness. Two streams of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Come, eat the porridge while it's hot. It'll get cold." Ye Fan helped Fujiwara No Chiko sit up. He then picked up the bowl of porridge and scooped a spoonful. He placed it near his mouth and gently blew on it. After he was done, he brought the porridge to Fujiwara No Chiko's mouth.
Fujiwara No Chiko opened her small mouth and ate the porridge that Ye Fan fed her.
"I can see that she likes you," Fujiwara No Chiko said as she ate the porridge.
"Who?" Ye Fan, who was holding the bowl of porridge, asked Fujiwara No Chiko in confusion.
"Xiao Zhao," Fujiwara No Chiko replied.
"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Fan said as he fed Fujiwara No Chiko, "Didn't I tell you? She's my adopted sister. I saved her in my previous life."
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" Fujiwara No Chiko swallowed the porridge in her mouth. "If she doesn't like you, why would she cry?"
"Cry?" Ye Fan asked in confusion.
"Yes."
"When?" Ye Fan asked.
"Just now." Fujiwara No Chiko said, "When I turned around and left."
"Nonsense." Ye Fan said, "Why would she cry?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Fujiwara No Chiko said, "I saw her when she was at the door."
"This girl, I'll ask her later," Ye Fan said.
"Girl?" Fujiwara No Chiko laughed, "Did you forget? She's Baihu. She's hundreds of years old. "
"She's still a girl," Ye Fan stuffed the porridge into Fujiwara No Chiko's mouth again.
"Do you like her?" Fujiwara No Chiko, who was eating the porridge, suddenly asked.
"Again, she's my sister. Do you understand? Wife? "Ye Fan said with a smile.
"You …" Fujiwara No Chiko's face turned red again after hearing this, "Who's your wife?"
"Oh, you don't recognize your husband so soon," Ye Fan said with a smile, "Didn't you enjoy listening to me at that time?"
After Fujiwara No Chiko heard this, she stared at Ye Fan angrily.
"Wife, don't be angry. If you're angry, you won't be able to detoxify the poison," Ye Fan said with a smile, "I know I was wrong."
"Detoxify?" Fujiwara No Chiko immediately frowned after hearing Ye Fan's words, "My poison was detoxified by Jinchan just now, right?"
"This …" Ye Fan realized that he had let it slip. Originally, he planned to tell Fujiwara No Chiko after she fully recovered her strength. Now, it seemed that he could only tell her the truth.
"Is it because my poison was not detoxified?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked calmly.
"Yes." Ye Fan replied.
"There's no cure?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked.
"There is a way, but …" Ye Fan thought about how to tell her.
"But what?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked again.
"The bridal chamber." Ye Fan looked at Fujiwara No Chiko and said.
"… Wh … What …" Fujiwara No Chiko stammered, "The … Bridal chamber?"
"Yes, the bridal chamber." Ye Fan then told her everything that happened after Fujiwara No Chiko fainted.
After Fujiwara No Chiko listened, she didn't say a word. She sat on the bed in a daze.
Ye Fan had already expected that Fujiwara No Chiko would have such an expression, so he didn't say anything and just sat quietly with Fujiwara No Chiko.
"Forget it." Ye Fan broke the silence. He put down the bowl of porridge, "I'll ask Brother Kim and Jinchan if there's any other way. If there's no other way, I'll capture Matsumoto Takeyoshi and force him to detoxify the poison." Ye Fan stood up and prepared to leave.
"No need." Fujiwara No Chiko, who was leaning on the bed, calmly said. "Matsumoto Takeyoshi has many experts around him, and his whereabouts are unpredictable. You might not even be able to find him in three days." Fujiwara No Chiko looked at Ye Fan and said, "Sit down, I have something to ask you."
Ye Fan listened and sat on the bed again.
"Do you like me?" Fujiwara No Chiko suddenly asked. "Tell me the truth."
Ye Fan was stunned. He didn't expect Fujiwara No Chiko to suddenly ask him this question.
"Answer me, do you like me or don't you like me?" Fujiwara No Chiko stared at Ye Fan's surprised face and asked again.
"I … I like you." Since things had come to this, Ye Fan could only answer truthfully.
"How much do you like me?" Fujiwara No Chiko lowered her head.
"I'm willing to die for you." Ye Fan said calmly.
"Really?" Fujiwara No Chiko raised her head after hearing this, her eyes were full of tears.
After Ye Fan told her about his experience in Miaojiang, she understood Ye Fan's feelings for her. Although Ye Fan said it very casually, she knew in her heart that Ye Fan must not eat or sleep for her. Otherwise, how could he become so thin in just a few days.
"En." Ye Fan whispered. He seemed to have understood Fujiwara No Chiko's intention.
