Jian Shichu sat down beside Ye Qingci, his cheek buried in her neck, "Cici, did you hear that? You can be saved... Your nanny was right, good people will receive good things, you're such a good person, the old master won't let you die..."
"Mm," Ye Qingci broke into a smile and wrapped her arms around him, "I know, I've always known, I won't die."
Because... I can't bear to leave you!
"You fool!" Jian Shichu hugged her and scolded softly, "That thing was actually poisonous! You need to stay away from it next time. Who knows how toxic it could be? This time you were lucky because you were already poisoned, and using poison to fight poison worked. But what if you hadn't been poisoned, and the thing's toxicity was overwhelming? What if you couldn't be saved?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Ye Qingci obediently agreed, feeling fortunate in her heart that she had reacted quickly and pushed Jian Shichu away.
