When they arrived at the house Bei Sangyun had chosen as their temporary hideout, Fei Chuan was already asleep.
Not wanting to wake him, Bei Sangyun asked Third Chief to carry Fei Chuan to the bedroom. Perhaps because of his fever, Fei Chuan was too weak to stay awake. He slightly opened his eyes, and upon seeing Bei Sangyun, he closed them again, letting down his guard and falling back to sleep.
Grandma Pei and the others had been anxiously waiting for their arrival. Seeing them safe and sound, they finally sighed in relief.
Bei Sangyun tucked Fei Chuan into the blanket, kissed his feverish forehead, and gazed at him gently for a long time. There was a soft knock on the door, and Grandma Pei entered with a basin of water.
"How is he?" she asked.
"He's sleeping now. His fever has relapsed. The doctor will come tomorrow to check on his condition."
