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.
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."
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.
