Chapter 1466: Chapter 1288: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

She was startled; that was Long Aixi’s voice.

The flower-picking thief also heard someone approaching and tried to flee, but was intercepted by Long Aixi. After a brief scuffle, sensing the thief was getting the worst of it, Long Aixi signaled his subordinates to chase after him while he hurried to check on Xia Dabao.

Fortunately, Xia Dabao’s clothes and hair were still intact, showing no signs of being touched; but why was her face so red?

As soon as Xia Dabao saw Long Aixi, she threw herself into his arms, squeezing closer to him with a coquettish tone, "Xiao’ai, you’ve come? Xiao’ai, I..."

Had she been drugged with a love potion?

Long Aixi thought thankfully he arrived just in time, or the consequences could have been unthinkable.

But how to cure this drug?

As Xia Dabao hugged him tighter and her body became limper, she started to undo her collar, "Xiao’ai, help me, I feel awful..."

Without a second thought, Long Aixi picked up Xia Dabao.

...

The ice-cold river washed over their bodies, Long Aixi held Xia Dabao tightly, watching as she went from agony to gradually becoming lucid.

And Xia Dabao was gradually coming to her senses as well.

The colder their bodies grew, the calmer their hearts became.

This was an opportunity, but Long Aixi would rather jump into the river holding her than take advantage of her at this moment.

It was for the best.

Xia Dabao was carried across the river by Long Aixi; she clung to him tightly, her body trembling from the cold.

Long Aixi, who had stayed in the water with her for so long, was also shivering from the cold, his lips turning blue.

Neither spoke a word, yet Xia Dabao felt an inexplicable sense of security, similar to the feeling she got when held by her father.

Thinking this, she hugged Long Aixi even tighter, and he paused for a moment. Looking at the shivering Xia Dabao in his arms, he moved his lips but said nothing, until he carried her onto the carriage.

After a while, someone from the branch reported that the flower-picking thief had been caught.

Back at the Dragon Gang, both began to develop high fevers. Xia Dabao was light-headed and could hardly get out of bed, being cared for by Lanlan. She learned of Long Aixi’s condition only through Lanlan, hearing he too was severely ill, continuously coughing and sneezing. The physician advised that they should not be too close to each other.

Due to his poor health, Long Third was unable to visit her, and Lu Jianxi, upon seeing both Long Aixi and Xia Dabao, was worried for both of them. Xia Dabao apologized to Lu Jianxi more than once, feeling she had caused trouble by being there.

She thought of returning to Peach Blossom Village once she recovered.

...

Capital City.

Tian Xiaobei had just finished class when he heard someone calling him from outside, "Xiaobei, Miss Pang is here looking for you again!"

As the words were spoken, the room immediately erupted, with many teasing him, "Could it be she’s brought you soup again?"

"Not just that. Didn’t she bring food last time? Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, right? We all benefited from it, and the Dim Sum from the Pang household is far better than what’s in the Imperial Medical Institute’s dining hall!"

"So, what has she brought this time? Xiaobei, go out and have a look."

"..."

It took Tian Xiaobei a long time to respond.

When Pang Yanyan first started sending him gifts, he felt proud and arrogant about it; having just arrived in Capital City for a few months, he had connected with Pang Yanyan and through her met quite a few noble young men, which made him an object of envy in the Imperial Medical Institute.
