Zhao Ke lifted the teapot from the table and poured warm water into the small porcelain cup while asking with concern, "How do you feel now? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

Shen Qiqi looked dejectedly at the departing figure of Liu Shuang and muttered, "Thank you, Senior brother. I'm feeling better now."

Zhao Ke placed the cup of water beside her and sat down at the table. They both sat in silence, one full of doubt, the other absent-minded, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Shen Qiqi snapped out of her thoughts and saw his anxious expression, so she laughed and said, "Senior brother, just ask whatever you want to know."

Zhao Ke blushed at her words but couldn't resist his curiosity and asked cautiously, "Junior sister, what exactly happened earlier?"

"After you left, a strange creature imitated your voice and tried to force its way in, but luckily it was blocked by the protective spells on the door," Shen Qiqi held the porcelain cup with two fingers, lowered her head and sipped slowly. Her face gradually relaxed, "When Senior sister arrived, the monster disappeared... I wonder where it is now."

"Imitated me?!" Zhao Ke looked horrified, "Thank goodness you didn't open the door! Just now, when I was talking to Senior sister Liu, she suddenly ran towards your room, and I followed to see what was happening. I didn't expect it to be so serious. Why didn't you use your communication technique to call for help? If it had been a little later... it would have been disastrous."

Shen Qiqi couldn't tell him about her internal injuries, so she avoided his gaze and said vaguely, "It happened suddenly, and I was scared, so I forgot about it... By the way, Senior Brother, did you notice anything strange on the way here?"

Zhao Ke was straightforward and honest, so he was successfully diverted from the topic. He shook his head and said, "I didn't notice anything."

Shen Qiqi curled up in the chair and pretended to be at ease, saying, "That's good."

Zhao Ke suggested, "Since Junior sister has been so frightened, why don't you rest early tonight? How about staying with Senior sister Liu tonight? She is very thoughtful and can take care of you."

Shen Qiqi nodded in agreement, "That's a good idea! I was just thinking the same thing!"

Just as she spoke, a light footstep was heard outside the door.

Zhao Ke saw that Shen Qiqi, who had been sitting cross-legged in her chair with a calm expression, suddenly put her feet down and leaned against the table with a weak cough, holding her chin with delicate hands, and looking as frail as a willow.

Zhao Ke: "???"

The newcomer was dressed in a cold moonlight outfit, with sleeves as white as snow, and walked slowly into the room. Her eyes, as clear as glass, swept around the room and fell on Shen Qiqi's face, where she furrowed her brows slightly.

Shen Qiqi's eyes lit up: "Senior sister."

Liu Shuang walked towards her and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Shen Qiqi nodded, her breath weak like a thread, and under her fragile appearance, there was a hint of restraint and strength: "Much better."

Zhao Ke couldn't bear to look: She's overdoing it! If you didn't know any better, you'd think she had a terminal illness!

Liu Shuang's long lashes trembled and the smile on her lips disappeared in a flash: "That's good."

Why aren't you following the script!!!

Shocked! Such a cold and indifferent young woman, showing no emotion towards her weak Junior sister... Isn't it normal to invite her to sleep on the same bed and comfort her all night long?
