Mu Jinghang grunted, “Bathe in ice for three days? Wouldn’t you turn into a popsicle?!”

The granny frowned, “No wonder. Girls shouldn’t even bathe in cold water yet you stayed in ice for three days? Why aren’t you immortal yet?”

Qiao Qing, “…”

Different from others’ reactions, Jun Yexuan was angry and his heart ached, “Why must you break through to the last level?”

Qiao Qing answered, “Because I needed to grow strong. I needed to be stronger than everyone else. Only then could I be in control and protect those I care about.”

She spoke softly and with ease. Her statement, however, made Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen teary.

They knew generally how she was forced to mature at a young age. But they didn’t know just how treacherous her journey was.

They guessed that she had to go through many hardships. But every time she described some of the things she had to endure through, their hearts ached.

She was at an age where she should’ve been spoiled yet all she did was to figure out how to protect others.

The gods gave her an incredible IQ but along with it, gave her double the hardships.

Her father mysteriously disappeared while her mother was too weak to handle the truth. As a young girl, she wasn’t allowed to enjoy burdenless fun and instead, was tasked to support the family.

Qi Yusen wasn’t a sensitive and emotional guy. But right now, he felt hurt.

Why didn’t he discover his sister earlier and take her under his wings earlier?

Jun Yexuan also felt very guilty. As a man, he talked about his past, broke down, and asked her for comfort.

But when she talks about her past, she’s so calm it was like she was describing someone else’s life.

Today, she was only 18 yet all of this happened when she was even younger.

The thought of this made her embrace Qiao Qing, “You want me to die from heartache?”

Qiao Qing paused and patted his shoulder, “Don’t think too much. It’s all in the past now.”

When someone’s independent enough for long enough, they no longer feel like it’s torture nor do they feel bad for themselves. On the contrary, they start to detest others’ comfort. Qiao Qing was that someone.

There will always be someone who disturbs the solemn atmosphere.

The granny interrupted, “If you guys continue this, the chicken he ate will stop being effective.”

Qiao Qing pushed Jun Yexuan away, “Go lie down.”

Jun Yexuan agreed and asked before he got onto the bed, “Do I need to get naked?”

Qiao Qing, “What do you think?”

Jun Yexuan rubbed his nose and unbuttoned his shirt.

Qiao Qing turned to look at the grandma, “Granny?”

The granny, “I’ll go get the silver mulberry for you.”

Qiao Qing, “I need a mortar and pestle as well.”

The granny, “I have those. I’ll bring you everything you may need.”

After the granny left, Mu Jinghang asked, “How come I get the sense that the granny has been waiting for us all this time just to cure your illness?”

Jun Yexuan rolled his eyes, “You just noticed?”

Mu Jinghang, “…”

Qiao Qing took her medical kit and opened it. She smiled and said, “That’s right, grandma is…”

She paused, “Grandma is my and his savior.”

Jun Yexuan grabbed her hand, “We need to thank her properly later.”

The grandma returned then and heard what they said, “I don’t want anything. Once she’s done curing you, just get out of here. The sight of a certain someone makes me feel like I got sand in my eye.”

Everyone turned to look at Mu Jinghang, who was confused, “Why are you all staring at me?”
