Yesterday when Lou Xi left, Qin Mobai still couldn’t speak, but today he’s using his distinctive voice to talk to Lou Xi.

This gave Lou Xi an unexpectedly pleasant surprise.

"You’re recovering really fast, will you be discharged soon?" Lou Xi felt that all the previous gloom disappeared upon seeing Qin Mobai.

Now Lou Xi understands why some people say home is the last harbor.

Because after facing setbacks and hurts, returning home makes all the hardships disappear, replaced by a sense of happiness.

"The doctor says not yet." Qin Mobai turned his hand over, palm up.

Lou Xi naturally placed her hand in Qin Mobai’s palm.

His hand slowly tightened, wrapping Lou Xi’s small hand in his palm.

"Then it’s better to stay in the hospital and recuperate for a while; the gun injury was serious, almost hit the heart."

"Just say that gunman wasn’t a good shot."

"Luckily his aim was poor, because if he were good..." Lou Xi didn’t dare to continue. If the gunman had been accurate, Lou Xi wouldn’t be able to talk to Qin Mobai now. "They haven’t found that gunman, so it’s still uncertain whether his mastermind is indeed Xi Siwei."

"It doesn’t matter, take it slowly." It’s unclear if it’s because of the injury, but the look in Qin Mobai’s eyes isn’t sharp.

Lou Xi interlaced her fingers with Qin Mobai’s, "I know, you don’t want the mastermind behind the gunman to be Xi Siwei, right?"

Lou Xi spoke directly to Qin Mobai’s heart.

A shadow passed over Qin Mobai’s handsome face.

After all, they are cousins by blood, and if it really came to a point where they must fight each other to the death, Qin Mobai would definitely feel terrible.

"Mobai, even if the whole world betrays you, I will stand behind you and betray the whole world with you." Lou Xi wanted to tell Qin Mobai that she would always stand by his side.

Just like their wedding vows, through thick and thin, no hardship could separate them.

Once a promise is made, it must be kept.

"I know." Qin Mobai shifted his gaze, deeply staring at Lou Xi.

The man didn’t say much, but each word was concise and to the point.

But... what’s with the seriousness lasting no longer than three seconds?

The expression of deep affection on Qin Mobai’s face was quickly wiped away; he squeezed Lou Xi’s hand and said, "Since the day I got shot... I haven’t showered..."

"You still can’t shower now; you haven’t fully recovered. We’ll talk about it when you’re better!" Lou Xi has to keep a close watch on Qin Mobai’s health; nothing that could affect his recovery is allowed to happen.

"... I can have a sponge bath."

"I’ll go ask the doctor."

"Just now, a nurse was going to give me a sponge bath."

"Are you still thinking about that little nurse?"

What’s this, the situation was over and forgotten by everyone, yet she brings it up!

Qin Mobai averted his gaze, avoiding eye contact with Lou Xi.

"If you dare think about that little nurse, I will..."

"You’ll what?" Qin Mobai was intrigued and wanted to know what she would do.

Lou Xi blushed and said, "Ignore you!"

After saying that, Lou Xi ran outside the ward to ask the doctor if Qin Mobai could have a sponge bath.

Qin Mobai half-lay on the hospital bed, his mouth slightly curved up.
