At daybreak, Ling Xin walked out of the ward and found Leng Che still waiting outside.

"Xiao Che, thank you for your hard work these days. The hospital is filled with negative energy and Xiao Xi is weak. I'm worried that she will be haunted by ghosts again, so I have to trouble you to stay here. I'm really sorry that you have to stop attending school." Ling Xin said.

"Aunt Ling, it's okay. This is what I should do." Leng Che lowered his head with guilt in his eyes, "I am sorry for not protecting Qianxi well."

"Don't blame you. It was the Ling family who hurt her. When Xiaoxi gets better, I will go and settle the score with them." Ling Xin's brows were raised with anger.

She sighed and whispered, "It's daybreak now, go back and rest."

These days, the City God found the blood-sucking poison that Mu Qianxi had hidden in the mountains as she had said. He then searched through all the information to find a way to cure the poison, and then rushed to the hospital to visit her without stopping.

While Ling Xin went home to get daily necessities, the City God shared the results with Mu Qianxi alone in the ward: "This bloodthirsty Gu is afraid of fire. Burn the mother Gu with fire, and the poison in your body will naturally be eliminated."

Mu Qianxi, who was originally listless, suddenly brightened up: "Where's the mother Gu? Bring it here quickly, I can just burn it now."

As he said this, he struggled to get off the bed. Since the wound on his back had not yet healed, every slight movement would pull on the wound, so the movement seemed a little difficult.

The City God hurriedly stopped her, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to a full smile and explained, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm hiding in the City God Temple. There are many incense sticks in the City God Temple, and I can burn them casually when I go back. It's not easy for you to burn them in the hospital."

Mu Qianxi thought about it and agreed.

"Then remember, you must burn it for me tonight."

Ever since she took away the mother Gu, the blood-sucking Gu has not been fed with Ling Baijin's blood for some time. She estimated that the poison in the Gu would probably break out in the next few days.

"I'm doing things, and you still don't trust me!"

Mu Qianxi was speechless: "..."

Thinking that she still had a love-hate Gu in her body, thanks to him, where could she put her heart!

After chatting for a while, the City God left.

When he walked out of the hospital, he ran into Leng Che, who had just returned to the hospital after going home to change clothes. The boy was holding two boxes of fresh strawberries.

Their eyes met, and they moved to an empty corner nearby in tacit understanding.

"Your Highness, I have already answered the girl as you said, half-speaking and half-hiding. I did not tell her that it would take 8 hours to completely burn the mother Gu, and the host of the child Gu would also suffer the pain of being burned by the fire." The City God had a worried look on his face, "But she urged me to burn the mother Gu quickly, how dare I. With her current body, how can she withstand such torture."

"Don't worry, I have my own way. When everything is ready, I will burn the mother Gu myself." The young man's deep black eyes revealed a cold and dangerous aura.

After the two finished chatting, Leng Che returned to the ward, only to see Han Sheng and Feng Qingying coming to visit.

The moment he appeared, the three people's conversation came to an abrupt end. Mu Qianxi didn't even glance at him, nor did she call him with the same enthusiasm as before. She continued to smile and talk to them as if he didn't exist.

"We just saw a very cute puppy on the road. It looked like a furry ball." Feng Qingying said.

Mu Qianxi's eyes lit up: "Really? I really want to see it!"

Han Sheng smiled helplessly: "It's a pity that he ran too fast. I will definitely catch him for you next time."

"You can be Dai Mao's little brother!"

Leng Che listened to their conversation and silently put the strawberries into the fruit bowl. After washing them carefully, he silently placed the strawberries on the table beside the bed so that she could reach them easily.

Feng Qingying and Han Sheng keenly sensed the strange atmosphere between the two of them, looked at each other for a moment, and decided to break the deadlock.

He said coldly to him, "The night before yesterday, the teachers invited the students from the competition class to dinner, but you were not there, and the teachers kept talking about you."

"I have something to do. So I asked for leave from the teacher." Leng Che answered him calmly, then he looked at the time and skillfully picked out the pills she should take from the medicine box next to him, and poured a cup of warm water and placed them in front of her.

Han Sheng glanced at the two of them meaningfully and joked, "Is this what you mean by 'something'? That is indeed more important."

He responded quietly, packed up the medicine box and put it back where it belonged.

The light that lit up in her eyes during the conversation went out again. Mu Qianxi looked gloomy. Without saying a word, she quietly picked up the pills he had prepared and swallowed them with warm water.

Only she knew that his thoughtfulness and gentleness were forced.

Maybe he would rather go to the party.

"Xiao Xi, don't you like strawberries the most?" Feng Qingying picked up a washed strawberry and handed it to her mouth, "I picked the biggest one for you."

Looking at the strawberries he washed, she took a bite in silence, her eyes gradually turning red.

Sour and sweet, it is her favorite taste.

He was also forced to remember her preferences.

However, he might prefer to remember another person's preferences.
