By dawn, Qinji's fever finally subsided.

After the fever subsided, he slept for a few more hours and didn't wake up until almost ten in the morning.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Lu Xinyi smiling in front of him, Qin Ju was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

Could he be hallucinating?

How come I saw Xinyi when I woke up?

Shouldn't Xinyi be somewhere else?

"What's wrong? Did you feel confused while sleeping?"

Hearing Lu Xinyi's teasing voice, Qin Ju smiled awkwardly and subconsciously wanted to scratch his head, but as soon as he raised his right hand, he felt a pain in his arm.

He turned his head and saw a large circle of gauze wrapped around his right upper arm, and his chest, waist and abdomen were also covered with gauze. His confused consciousness gradually became clear.

His eyes fell on his left hand, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that he was still holding Lu Xinyi's wrist.

He just held Xinyi's hand like this for the whole night?

Now that he has woken up, he still doesn't want to let go.

"Drink some water."

As Lu Xinyi spoke, she naturally withdrew her hand that he had held all night, took out a kettle and a cup from the space, and poured him a cup of hot water.

Carefully helping Qin Jue to sit up, she placed a pillow behind his waist and let him lean against the head of the bed. Only then did Lu Xinyi hand him the water.

Qin Ju clenched his empty left hand, suppressed the loneliness in his heart, and carefully took the cup of water.

"You just woke up, drink slowly, don't drink too fast."

After drinking a glass of water in small sips, Qin Ju handed the cup to Lu Xinyi: "Xinyi, thank you."

Lu Xinyi chuckled: "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for staying with me all night."

Lu Xinyi was silent for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Didn't you hold my hand tightly?"

After she said this, she saw that Qin Jue's cheeks and ears, which were originally fair and now looked even paler due to the injury, were quickly turning visibly red.

He drooped his eyelids slightly, wanting to say something to cover up his embarrassment, but when he opened his mouth, it seemed that everything he said was pale.

In the end, I could only remain silent.

Lu Xinyi didn't want to tease him anymore, so she said, "You were seriously injured and had a fever at night. Even if you didn't hold my hand, I would have stayed with you."

Hearing this, Qin Ju suddenly looked up and looked at her with bright eyes and a throbbing look in his eyes.

His eyes were so scorching that Lu Xinyi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Clearing her throat, she changed the subject: "Would you like to drink some porridge? You are still very weak and can only eat light food."

"want."

Lu Xinyi took out a bowl of porridge from the space and was about to hand it to him, but then she remembered that his right hand was injured and only his left hand was intact. It might not be possible for him to drink the porridge by himself.

So, she pushed away Qin Ju's extended left hand and said, "You are injured and it is inconvenient. I will feed you."

Qin Ju was startled, her cheeks turned red again, and she even felt her heart beating uncontrollably.

He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, afraid that once he opened his mouth, his voice would change because he was too happy.

One fed the porridge silently, and the other drank the porridge silently.

Both of them remained silent.

Until the bowl of porridge is finished.

"Want to drink again?"

"No thanks." Qin Ju raised his eyes and met Lu Xinyi's sparkling gaze, "Xinyi, thank you——"

“Thank you, there’s no need to say that.” Lu Xinyi interrupted her and chuckled, “You’re my teammate, and I should take care of you when you’re injured.”

"In other words, if it was Brother Heng, Sister Wanzhi, or Lianqiao who was injured like me, you would also take care of them so attentively?"

Lu Xinyi heard the expectation hidden in his words and saw the nervousness hidden in his eyes.

She suppressed the urge to raise her lips and said seriously, "Of course, you are all my teammates, and Lian Qiao is my sister. You are injured, so of course I have to take good care of you. As the captain, I have to treat you all equally."

Qin Ju didn't respond. There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes and his mood was obviously a little depressed.

"puff--"

Hearing Lu Xinyi's uncontrollable laughter, Qin Ju looked at her in confusion.

"Qin Ju, I've known you for a year, and you haven't changed at all. You're still so naive and simple, and so easy to fool."

Qin Ju was stunned. He didn't understand what she meant for a moment. After a long time of reaction, he saw her teasing smile. Suddenly, an idea that surprised him greatly came to his mind.

He was afraid that this idea was just his imagination, so he tried his best to suppress his inner excitement and asked nervously and expectantly: "So, in your heart, I am actually special, right?"

Seeing him looking anxious, fearful and nervous, Lu Xinyi chuckled: "You are special in my heart. Lian Qiao is my sister, Brother Heng and Sister Wanzhi are my teammates, and you are my teammate and the most special person in my heart."

Qin Ju couldn't believe his ears for a moment. He wanted to laugh, but was afraid that he was just hallucinating, so he didn't dare to laugh, and his expression looked a little stiff.

Seeing that Lu Xinyi was still looking at him with a smile, Qin Ju finally dared to reveal a happy smile from the bottom of his heart.

He slowly raised his left hand and carefully reached out to Lu Xinyi's face. He wanted to touch her but didn't dare. When his fingertips were only one centimeter away from her cheek, he backed off.

However, just as he was about to withdraw his hand, a small hand with calluses from frequent knife holding suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Then, he brought his hand to her smooth, white face.

"You wanted to do this, didn't you? Why did you back off?"

Qin Ju felt that his mind was almost blank, and he stammered: "I... I don't dare..."

"Why don't you dare?"

"I'm afraid of offending you."

“I don’t take offense.”

When their eyes met, both of them remained silent.

There were only two of them in the entire infirmary at the moment. After receiving treatment, the injured from last night all went to their respective tents to rest.

In the quiet tent, the only sounds they could hear were each other's breathing and the sound of their accelerating heartbeats.

"Xinyi."

Qin Ju broke the silence and said with courage: "I like you! I have liked you for a long time!"

"I know." Lu Xinyi said softly.

Although she has never been in love, she has seen pigs run even if she has not eaten pork. Qin Jue's attitude towards her has always been different from that of others.

But she thought that since she met Qin Ju, he had been as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. Perhaps, he treated her in a special way just because she had saved him before.

However, as time passed, Qin Ju was no longer a blank slate, and his attitude towards her became even worse. Sometimes, the way he looked at her was so straightforward that she couldn't help but know.

She originally thought that it would be nice for the five of them to continue getting along as teammates.

But when she saw the seriously injured Qin Ju last night, she found that she could not treat Qin Ju simply as a teammate.

Just as she said just now, Qin Jue is special to her.
