“That’s right.” She nodded without any suspicion about his questions. “You knew that you had a fever?”

“My mind had been especially heavy at the time.” He said, “The fever caused the medicine to taste especially bitter and I was unable to swallow it. How did you find the water to make me take it?”

“I…” She pursed her lips. She did not wish to tell him that she had cut herself and fed him her blood. “I used my saliva.”

It was a white lie.

He frowned.

She grew unhappy. “What about it? Do you find my saliva dirty?”

“Everything about you is sweet to me.” Bai Qinghao’s body was weak from his injuries, but his eyes were especially sharp. “But I’m certain you didn’t even have enough saliva at the time.”

“…” She had no way of refuting it.

At that moment, his mouth had been filled with a sweet, copperish taste.

He carefully scanned her pale complexion and hoped it wasn’t as he guessed.

He saw that she had pressed her left hand behind her back. “Give me your hand.”

She offered her right hand. “My skin has gone all wrinkly from soaking in the water. What’s there for you to look at?”

“I’m talking about your left hand!” He demanded.

She refused and he could only employ all his strength to forcefully tug her hand up. When he saw the plaster on the back of her hand, he asked. “What happened here?”

“I got injured accidentally.” She held onto her lie stubbornly.

“You must have cut yourself to feed your blood to me,” he spoke firmly.

“So you knew.” She had no choice but to admit it.

He teared up in heartache. “Fang Xinxin, how could you do that!”

Bai Qinghao, whose features were cold and frigid, usually had a firm composure and barely showed any emotions to anyone. However, right now, he was actually in tears. The sight of it left Fang Xinxin’s heart aching.”I didn’t have any other method…”

“I didn’t want it to be like this, not like this!” He whispered in guilt as he embraced her.

“I just wanted you to be better.” She said, “If you were in my position, you would have done the same, wouldn’t you?”

“You’re not allowed to do this again. Do you understand!”

“We’ll talk about it in the future.”

He was helpless as his heart drowned in both pain and love for her. Dear God, he truly did not know how he was supposed to love her. How could he make up for all he owed her?

“Sleep for a little while.” He caressed her cheek in heartache as he took her exhaustion in.

Fang Xinxin glanced at the bandage around his chest. “Bai Qinghao, we need to clean your wound first.” Earlier, he was unconscious and it had been difficult for her to do anything.

She could no longer rely on her abilities to levitate him. It expended too much energy and she was certain that she would lose consciousness if she tried.

Their circumstances would worsen if that happened.

Now that he was awake, things would be much easier.

He could not fight against her stubborn insistence. He also understood that it was important for him to quickly recover. Thus, he gave in.

She opened the first aid kit and soaked a piece of gauze in rubbing alcohol.

He took off the life jacket and placed it on her.

Then, he held onto her shoulders to keep the top half of his body above the surface.

She hurriedly removed his bandages and peeled off the dried-up layer of medicine with the surgical knife. She disinfected his wound methodically and re-applied a new layer of medicine, before wrapping it up with more bandages.

After that, he eased himself back into the water in exhaustion.

Fang Xinxin returned the life jacket to him.

He was currently a patient and it was difficult for him to tread in the turbulent water. He was also much heavier and it would be more tiring for him to hold onto her.

Thus, it was for the best that she held onto him..
