As Tang Xi gradually regained consciousness, he felt weak all over, his lips dry and he wanted to drink water. He wanted to speak, but the pain in his throat made it difficult for him to even utter a word.

"You're awake." Pha came back from outside with the millet porridge his brother had just brought him. When he saw the person who had slept for a day and a night wake up, he immediately stepped forward, put down the ingredients, and helped the person out of the quilt.

"I." He spoke with difficulty, enduring the pain, but the hoarse voice made him choose to keep silent.

Pha also knew that people with fever would be thirsty when they woke up, so she poured him a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

"Don't worry, my brother has asked for leave for you. Rest well these few days and try to get better soon."

After drinking some porridge, she regained some strength. Tang Xi watched her pack up her things and then sit down next to him in a chair.

"What about you? Aren't you going to school?" Today is Monday, she should be at school.

Pha took the empty teacup from his hand and explained, "It's lunch break now. I'll stay here with you for a while and then leave."

Tang Xi looked at the small ladder floating in the air, grinning at him foolishly. He had many questions he wanted to ask. But now that someone was around, even though he was anxious, he had to wait until they left before he could speak.

"Did this fever scare you?" He had been asleep most of the day, but there were also moments of lucidity. He could hear the sounds of people moving around him, as well as the vague sound of voices.

He knew how nervous and scared PHA was when he saw him having a fever, and he also knew that they took turns taking care of him at his bedside. He knew all of this.

"Yeah, you were so burned up that you could fry an egg. Luckily you were rushed to the hospital early, or else your brain might have been damaged."

Hearing the teasing in her tone, Tang Xi curled his lips and smiled: "I didn't expect this cold to be so severe."

"Yeah." They grew up together and were well aware of his physical condition.

Just as the topic was about to end, Pha suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. She looked at Tang Xi with a gossipy look on her face and said, "Brother, do you know what rumors have spread about the relationship between you and my brother?"

From the moment he saw her expression, Tang Xi had a sense of foreboding in his heart. And this feeling was firmly confirmed in his ears the moment she opened her mouth.

Before he could reply, Pha laughed out loud first: "My parents thought that you had a fever this time because you slept with my brother. Due to their lack of knowledge in this area, you suffered this ordeal. So... hahaha." Before he could finish the rest of his words, Pha couldn't help but bent over with laughter.

After a long time of calming down, Pha said the rest of the words with a dark face like Tang Xi: "I found a lot of knowledge about this subject and ordered my brother to cramming it into my head. He said that it would make you feel better next time you sleep together. Hahaha..."

After hearing what she said, Tang Xi felt his strength surge back to the state he was in before he got sick. At this moment, he just wanted to take out his stick, go to the area where Pat was, and let him experience his wrath.

"Didn't he explain it to my uncle and aunt?" He said this word by word with gritted teeth.

Pha also noticed his current mood and quickly suppressed his cheerful mood: "No, he said to wait until you wake up before telling your parents. This way it will be more convincing. Otherwise, your parents will just think he wants to abandon you."

Tang Xi rubbed his forehead which was burning again, and his face returned to pale.

"Okay, you just woke up, so you should get some rest."

After helping him tuck himself back into bed, I watched him close his eyes tiredly and fall asleep before I tiptoed out of the ward.

After sending messages to her parents and brother, she also prepared to return to school to continue her courses.

When Tang Xi woke up again, he opened his eyes to see a book with eyes. Before his brain could react, his hand had already struck out and slammed it against the wall nearby.

A cry of "Ouch" made him wake up completely and realize what he had just done.

Careful with his wet arm, he propped himself up with one hand and sat up.

"Um, little ladder, are you okay?"

The little ladder tore itself off the wall, rubbed its swollen forehead, and flew to his side: "You hit me too hard, you almost knocked my body out."

Tang Xi also knew that he was too extreme, which made him smile awkwardly.

"Well, it wasn't just waking up. I suddenly saw a book with a pair of smiling eyes, and I was caught off guard."

Still on the ladder, he didn't want to pursue the matter. He hovered in mid-air, looking him up and down: "How come you've gotten yourself into this state after just a few days of not seeing you?"

Tang Xi scratched his cheek: It’s your host who scared you.

Of course, he couldn't say this. After all, he still didn't know the reason for his return. If he said it rashly and angered the other party, what would happen if he destroyed himself in an instant? He was a man who wanted to return to his original world. He couldn't let his efforts fail here.

"I was delivering ointment to someone the night before last, and I forgot about the big temperature difference between day and night, so I got sick."

After hearing his explanation, Little Ladder gave him a look of disdain. Then, thinking of the purpose of his return, he flew forward and looked at Tang Xi: "I've told the host that I can temporarily bind you, so do you need it?"

Hearing this, Tang Xi was stunned. Then, thinking of that perfect young man, he lowered his brows and pondered for a moment before saying, "Can you send me back to my original world?"

Little Ladder shook his head. "No, there are hundreds of billions of universes in this universe. Finding your way back is very difficult. Also, I met you too late, and all the traction lines on your soul have disappeared. There is little hope of successfully returning unless we find the reason why you came to this world."

Hearing this, his hope of returning home grew even more bleak. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to return to his original world after graduation. What if this method failed?

The little ladder also knew that he needed to think carefully about the binding matter now, so it just floated quietly aside.

When he was almost drowsy from waiting, Tang Xi spoke up: "Forget it, since there is no way to help me go back, let's just maintain the status quo."

The little ladder showed no dissatisfaction with his choice and floated up in the air: "Well, if you ever change your mind, just tell me. I will always keep this spot for you."

"Okay, thank you."

After returning from the small ladder, he was worried. But after hearing him talk about the binding, he realized that the host would not harm him. Everything before was just a self-scare.

After completely relaxing, perhaps because my worries had been relieved, I took my temperature that afternoon and it had dropped significantly. The nurse said that if my temperature returned to normal tomorrow, I could be discharged early.

Pha, who came home from school, was very happy to hear the news. He was also very happy when he heard from Pha that he would be discharged from the hospital.

After asking his friends some questions, he realized that his different feelings for Pran were due to love, so he invited her to the balcony and confessed his feelings. He thought everything would go smoothly, but after a kiss, his relationship with Pran plummeted.

This made him very anxious. On the one hand, he didn't want to push too hard, but on the other hand, he didn't want to let him go. After all, the fact that he had taken the initiative to kiss him said it all. He had the same feelings for him.

So after PHA sent the message, he, who was completely clueless and confused, finally knew who to ask for help.
