Song Zhili and the others were busy in the space for two more days. During these two days, Song Zhili and Xia Momo only rested for less than five hours. He Miaomiao and Qingzhu saw how hard they were working and wanted them to rest.

But now there's only one day left, and Song Zhili is unwilling to rest. If she can't finish it, she'll really have to send him to Cui Xiaodie's place to save his life. Song Zhili is extremely unwilling to do so.

Therefore, she dared not slack off for a moment. When the two of them saw that they could not persuade her, they did not try to persuade her anymore. After all, there was only one day left, and they knew that Song Zhili was anxious.

Seeing that Song Zhili and Xia Momo had finished another batch, He Miaomiao went up and took out the ones they had made, and then she and Qingzhu started trying them out again.

Soon, the two had tried half of the pills. He Miaomiao looked at the remaining half and sighed inwardly, thinking that the pills were probably all gone. Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly saw a black worm crawling out of He Chengjing's wound on his arm.

Without thinking much, He Miaomiao reached out and picked up the little black worm. She then put the worm into the glass bottle and put the lid on.

Then, He Miaomiao stared at the glass bottle in her hand, watching the little black bug scurrying around inside. She yelled and dropped the bottle onto the bed.

Song Zhili and Xia Momo both heard He Miaomiao's cries and wondered what was wrong with her. They exchanged a glance and ran into the house. Seeing the panicked He Miaomiao, they rushed forward to support her.

"Miaomiao, what's wrong? What happened?"

Xia Momo asked nervously, while Song Zhili looked at Qingzhu, "Qingzhu, what happened?"

Qingzhu shook his head blankly. He had been focused on conducting the experiment on He Chengjing and hadn't noticed what He Miaomiao was doing.

At this moment, He Miaomiao's forehead was covered in sweat, and her legs were a little weak. In fact, she had been terrified of insects since she was a child. When she caught the insect just now, she didn't know why, she just instinctively grabbed it. After she finished catching it, she was shocked when she looked at the insect in the bottle.

She herself could hardly believe that she had caught the bug.

"Miaomiao, say something! What's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Xia Momo was startled to see He Miaomiao remain silent for a long time, her hands trembling.

He Miaomiao was about to speak when He Chengjing, who was lying on the bed, suddenly coughed a few times. Song Zhili heard the sound and immediately went over. "A-Jing, A-Jing, are you awake? If you are awake, open your eyes quickly."

Hearing Song Zhili's words, He Chengjing struggled to open his eyes and saw a group of people in the room. He slowly tried to sit up from the bed. Song Zhili saw his intention and quickly helped He Chengjing sit up, overjoyed.

"Ah Jing, you're finally awake, waaaah..."

Song Zhili could no longer contain her excitement and threw herself into He Chengjing's arms, bursting into tears.

Meanwhile, Xia Momo finally saw the glass bottle that He Miaomiao was pointing to. She walked over, picked up the bottle, and saw the insects inside. She looked at He Miaomiao with delight, "Miaomiao, did you catch these? By the way, what number was the one you tried earlier? I need to write it down."

When she and Ali made these pills, they wrote numbers on them so that they could easily match them to their corresponding pills.

He Miaomiao nodded, then said in a slightly trembling voice, "Yes, it's number 835."

Xia Momo first helped He Miaomiao sit down on a chair, then gave her a thumbs up, "Miaomiao, you're great. Sit here for a while, I'll go and write this down, just in case I forget later."

After Xia Momo finished speaking, she took the glass bottle and ran to the pharmacy, where she checked off the numbered prescription.

He Chengjing was still a little confused. When he saw Song Zhili crying, he felt a pang of heartache. He didn't know what had happened to make Song Zhili cry.

He held Song Zhili tightly in his arms, noticing that she had lost some weight. He was even more eager to know what she had been through these past few days, but now was not the time to ask. He held her and comforted her for a while.

Qingzhu and He Miaomiao exchanged a glance, and the two tactfully left the room together.

Seeing that they had all left, He Chengjing then picked up Song Zhili and gently kissed away the tears on her face. The two lingered for a while, and Song Zhili was indeed tired. With He Chengjing by her side, she quickly fell asleep.

After Song Zhili fell asleep, He Chengjing covered her with a blanket, got up and quietly got out of bed. He went to the door and saw Qingzhu standing alone at the door.

He Miaomiao and Xia Momo had already gone inside to rest. Everyone was exhausted these past few days, so Qingzhu stayed at the door by herself.

He Chengjing asked Qingzhu what the current situation was, and Qingzhu told He Chengjing everything in detail.

After hearing what Qingzhu said, He Chengjing clenched his fists in anger and asked through gritted teeth, "That bitch dared to send someone to assassinate Ali, where is that Gu worm?"

He Chengjing asked a question, and Qingzhu, remembering that Xia Momo had taken the Gu worm earlier and not knowing where she had taken it, had no choice but to tell the truth: "Miss Xia took the Gu worm earlier, and I don't know where it is. She just went to rest. Should I go and ask her?"

When He Chengjing heard that Xia Momo had taken away the Gu worms, he shook his head and said, "No need. You must all be tired these days. Go and rest for a while. We'll talk about it later when they've rested."

When He Chengjing heard Qingzhu say that Song Zhili and Xia Momo had barely slept because of her, he was heartbroken. At the same time, he blamed himself for being so careless and falling into Cui Xiaodie's trap.

After He Chengjing told Qingzhu to go and rest, he turned around and went back into the room. He lay down next to Song Zhili and felt guilty when he saw her sleeping. He tucked her hair behind her ear, kissed her forehead, and then held her in his arms.

After a morning, Song Zhili had slept for five hours. She slowly woke up, still a little groggy. She wondered how she had fallen asleep on the last day. She sat up in bed and was about to get out and head to the pharmacy.

However, before she could get down, a pair of large hands grabbed her arms, causing her to lose her balance and fall into He Chengjing's arms. Seeing that He Chengjing was awake, Song Zhili realized that He Chengjing had already woken up and that the Gu worm in his body had been removed.

Thinking of this, Song Zhili was still a little worried. She dragged He Chengjing to get another chest CT scan. While waiting for the results, Song Zhili smelled the aroma of food coming from downstairs, and her stomach started rumbling.

He Chengjing also heard it. Song Zhili was a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to say something, he walked to Song Zhili's side, took her hand, and walked downstairs.
