Zi Wei quickly sheathed his sword when he saw Su Yingxue. However, he couldn't control himself and ended up half-kneeling on the ground, his hand gripping the sword trembling.

Su Yingxue promptly helped him lie down, her face filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, I forgot to prepare the medicine for you. Why didn't you remind me?"

She was both anxious and frustrated. Anxious because any delay on her part would mean that Zi Wei would endure a prolonged period of pain. Frustrated because she had forgotten, and, to her surprise, Zi Wei had forgotten too! Could he not pay attention to his well-being?

Zi Wei had been tormented by pain for a long time, and his ability to endure pain had long surpassed that of ordinary people by a hundred times. Even now, when the poison in his body acted up, there was no pain on his face, but more indifference.

He simply didn't care.

He was indifferent to the life and death of others, as well as his own.

It seemed like death, for him, was as routine as eating and drinking every day. He faced it with extraordinary calmness.

However, his indifference cut deep into Su Yingxue.

She felt guilty. "It's my fault. 1 brought you to my side but failed to take proper care of you."

Zi Wei's pale lips moved, and his voice, raspy and emotionless, declared, "It's me, protecting you."

He never required anyone's care.

"You protect me, and 1 protect you. 1 haven't paid you, but the rightful protection is a must. It's my responsibility!"

Su Yingxue's gaze was resolute.

With each word she spoke, Zi Wei's heart thumped fiercely.

"Su Yingxue." Zi Wei called her name hoarsely.

Su Yingxue kept her eyes on the medicine, not bothering to look up. "What's the matter?"

She could sense Zi Wei's gaze on her, but she was more concerned with the medicine she was brewing.

Once the medicine was ready, Su Yingxue looked up at Zi Wei. His eyes were cold, like a tranquil spring without a single ripple.

Zi Wei remained silent. Su Yingxue picked up the bowl of medicine and fed him as usual. Zi Wei had become accustomed to being cared for by Su Yingxue, behaving as obediently as a doll.

After downing the bowl of medicine, Su Yingxue noticed his cold expression and promptly stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.

His face underwent an instant transformation, a hint of gentleness emerging amidst his bloodthirsty features.

Even though this touch of tenderness vanished too quickly, Su Yingxue couldn't help but grin happily.

Waving the candy packet in front of Zi Wei, she slyly remarked, "If you promise me one thing, I'll give you all of these."

She knew Zi Wei had a sweet tooth.
