Chapter 108: Anxiety, Concern
Chapter 108: Anxiety, Concern
Yao Ran vaguely heard knocking sounds and someone anxiously calling her name, but her consciousness flickered in and out like a boat rocking in a storm.
While she was plagued with her nightmare, Yao Ran's throat felt sore and dry. Her energy rampaging through her body like it did before she self-destructed in her previous life.
Yao Ran felt pain all over her body, but she could not muster any strength or open her eyes. At the same time, Long Yu came back for the seventh time and knocked on Yao Ran's door again.
"Yao Ran, are you alright? Yao Ran."
After Yao Ran had eliminated the poisonous moths in the corridor, Long Yu and others took turns eliminating the moths that had gotten in from the gap between the door and the floor. Every time it was his turn to clean the moths, Long Yu would knock on Yao Ran's door and call her, but she never responded.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Yao Ran never came out after returning home in the morning. Looking at the tightly closed metal door, Long Yu felt uneasy.
He clenched his hands and knocked again, "Yao Ran! Open the door!"
Hearing his voice calling for Yao Ran, Shi Xuan came out and asked, "Captain, has Yao Ran not responded yet?"
Long Yu's face was so dark that he could drip ink, and the aura around him was cold. He shook his head and replied, "Not yet."
Shi Xuan looked at his captain and saw him lose his calm for the first time. The two stood there in silence until Long Yu suddenly asked, "Should I break this door?"
".....
.." Shi Xuan was speechless when he saw Long Yu seriously thinking about breaking down the door.
They all know that You Ran installed three thick metal doors and the defense of her home like a fortress.
Even if they use explosives, they cannot guarantee that they will be able to break into the house. They might kill themselves in the process before they break down the door.
Shi Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "It's not easy to break open these doors. Even if Jia Xiang can make explosives with our limited supplies, blowing up the door is very dangerous. We could destroy the building in the process."
Long Yu knew they couldn't break into Yao Ran's apartment, but he just wanted to give it a try. What if she was stung by a poisonous moth and was in danger? He really couldn't and didn't dare to gamble on this.
Just when Long Yu was thinking about doing something dangerous, Yao Ran finally woke up. She groaned and slowly opened her eyes. Before she could sit up, she heard Long Yu's voice coming from outside.
"Yao Ran, are you alright? If you don't answer me within five minutes, I will break your doors and barge in."
Hearing Long Yu's faint voices, Yao Ran suddenly sobered up. She gritted her teeth and got up from the bed. After putting on her coat, she staggered to open the door.
Opening the door, Yao Ran saw Long Yu's anxious face. He raised his legs and prepared to kick her door.
She looked at him and said helplessly, "Please don't destroy my door. I still need them to keep poisonous moths out."
Long Yu raised his head when he heard her hoarse and weak voice. Seeing her pale lips and red cheeks, he knew that Yao Ran was sick. Without saying a word, he quickly carried her and walked in.
In the corridor, Shi Xuan was left speechless. "..." Captain, have you forgotten about me?
Yao Ran had no strength left, so she let Long Yu carry her back to the bedroom and lay motionlessly in his arms.
After putting her on the bed, Long Yu sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Have you been stung by a poisonous moth?"
Yao Ran weakly said, "I accidentally touched the poisonous moth's stinger when I was cleaning the house."
Long Yu looked at her red and swollen left hand and asked, "Have you taken medicine?"
Yao Ran nodded and groaned in pain. Seeing her face become paler, Long Yu asked anxiously, "What can I do to reduce the swelling and pain?"
Looking at his tightly pressed lips and furrowed brows, Yao Ran fell into silence. Since their first meeting, she had always felt that Long Yu was a calm and rational man. She had never seen him so anxious and worried.
Apart from her adoptive grandparents, Long Yu seemed to be the first person to express genuine concern for her life and death.
Noticing her gaze, he looked away from her swollen left hand and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Is it very painful?"
Yao Ran smiled and shook her head, "It's alright."
Long Yu couldn't do anything to relieve her pain and could only find ways to distract her. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you want to eat? I can make wonton soup for you."
Yao Ran shook her head and replied weakly, "I have no appetite."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Hearing this, Long Yu said, "This won't do. You need to eat something to get better. I will get you something to eat."
Before Yao Ran could stop him, Long Yu had already strode out of the bedroom in a hurry. Left alone in the bedroom, Yao Ran felt dizzy and fell asleep quickly. This time, she slept
peacefully.
Ten minutes later, when Long Yu came back with a bowl of thick porridge and a glass of water, he saw that Yao Ran had fallen asleep. He put the tray on the bedside table and sat on the bed.
Seeing that she was sleeping deeply, he reached out and gently touched her red cheeks. However, the high temperature caught him off guard.
In her sleep, Yao Ran felt something cold touching her cheek, which made her feel very comfortable. Instinctively, she moved closer to the source of the cold.
