Me to you: I tried🤧🥲 Pretty please 🥺

Location: HAIXING (Yashou Tribe Territory)

It's been two days since Zhao Yunlan and Old Chu have brought back unconscious Shen Wei to Haixing. Zhao's patience was running out and his mind drowning in anxiety.

*** Flashback

"We cannot allow you to take him in this condition!" The King had argued.

"I will go along with them your Highness!" The Justiciar spoke for Zhao.

Zhao never felt more thankful towards the Justiciar, he had mentally decided that he will not let Shen away from his sight anymore, not even for a second.

"If situation worsens or anything happens, I will strip you of your title and lock you Justiciar!" The King warned.

"At this age, I do not mind anything. You may do what you deem fit Your Highness!"

Flashback ends***

With that they had brought Shen back to Haixing where he has been resting in the Yashou tribe home.

When all the others got to know about the sequence of events that happened in Dixing they were dumbfounded and bewildered. Da Qing having a weak spot for Black Envoy couldn't be more thankful to Heaven's that he was alive and back with them.

Over the past two days a remarkable improvement has been observed in Shen Wei's health, his lips were now a shade of pale pink from pale white, his wounds healing well, sunken eye sockets restoring its original form, from a very little upward and downward movement of inhaling and exhaling, his stomach could now be visibly seen moving along with his steady breaths.

On the other hand, everyone noticed that Zhao has become a different person altogether, no one had ever seen this soft side of his; it was as if his world functioned only with the presence of Shen Wei. He changed the drips from time to time, cleaned Shen with wet cloths as if taking care of a baby, combed his hair, applied medicine to his wounds, changed his clothes, made sure the room was properly ventilated, covered him when the weather became cooler. Stayed awake whole night and before even the first ray of sunlight peeked in through the windows he pulled the curtains. He did every possible thing to help Shen Wei recover as fast as possible.

It was the break of dawn and Zhao was sitting on a resting stool by Shen's bedside. He has been awake for most of the night and was now resting his head by Shen's right arm; he made sure to touch his head to Shen's hand so he could immediately sense any movement from him. However, poor Chief was exhausted, he didn't realize when he had fallen into a deep slumber, it was after all the third night that he spent awake doing nothing but staring at Shen Wei while his eyes played tricks on him making him imagine that Shen's eyes flickered, or maybe he wriggled his nose or let out a puff of air from his mouth.

Zhao woke up slightly from his sleep and raised his head to check on Shen Wei, he blinked a couple of times and rubbed his eyes to get rid of the drowsiness. Looking at Shen's direction his eyes played tricks on him again, but this one was way too exaggerated, he was imagining that Shen Wei was sitting and looking at him warmly with his lips tucked up in a soft smile. Zhao shook his head and then hit himself on his cheek, "wake up Yunlan and stop imagining things!"

He rubbed his eyes again then tightly shut it and opened it, however the image in front of him remained, only this time Shen Wei's smile seemed wider. "Urghhhhh!!" Zhao muttered loudly annoyed with himself, "my imagination is becoming too realistic! Shen Wei you are the one to blame!" he said and again slapped his cheeks several times. He then dropped his head down but soon felt a sharp pain on his forehead; Shen Wei had flicked his finger on his forehead.
