That night, Lin Huan cried silently for a long time. Mr. Zhongli stayed with her beside the bed for a long time. The little bird beside her pillow also rubbed against the quilt on her chest, carefully holding her, pillowing her, spreading its little wings, and gently patting her... until she fell into a deep sleep at dawn.

Finally, seeing that the fragile little guy was coaxed to sleep, Xiao sighed softly, flashed to the open space in the room, transformed into a human form, and landed on one knee.

“…Please allow me to go to Layer Rock to find out what’s going on.”

"Yes." Mr. Zhongli nodded slightly as he sat on the bed. "But please be careful and don't act rashly for now. Go quickly and come back quickly."

"Yes." Xiao turned into a sharp wind-colored blade and disappeared on the spot in a flash.

After more than ten days, Lin Huan was finally able to sit up slowly with Gan Yu's support and lean against the head of the bed, but she still couldn't walk. Fortunately, Immortal Ping has been staying at Wangshu Inn recently. As an elder, he has been with them, taking good care of her injuries and giving her medicine every day. In these days, the external injuries are slowly scabbing, and the internal injuries are gradually getting better. At least the dull pain in the chest every day has also been alleviated a lot. But... although the pollution to the body caused by the previous disaster has not shown any signs of further deterioration, it has not been alleviated. It can only be said that the status quo is barely maintained.

These days, Mr. Zhongli would come to visit her when he was not busy. But apart from asking about her injuries, he never mentioned the Thousand Rock Army or the events after the Battle of Layer Rock. He even kept the news from Liyue Harbor secret and never told her anything.

Early that morning, Lin Huan woke up very early and leaned against the bed. Gan Yu transformed into a human form and helped her sit up. After placing the teapot and warm water on the small coffee table, he turned around and returned to the form of a small animal and took a nap in her arms. Be a hand warmer without emotions. As for Lin Huan, one hand was pressed under the little Qilin, and the other was attached to her back, gently stroking her soft snow-white fur from time to time. Speaking of which, the fur of this little Qilin is really good to touch, no wonder the future Xiao Qiqi will like the coconut sheep~

"These days... you've worked so hard... you've been with me all the time." Lin Huan smiled silently. What happened that night woke up Xiao, and Ganyu must have been no exception. But she just pretended not to know, and after waking up, she pretended nothing had happened and continued to tease and comfort herself.

Lin Huan bent down and kissed her furry little head gently and softly.

Just at this moment Mr. Zhong Li pushed the door open and saw the two people hugging each other. He was stunned for a moment, then walked into the house with a smile.

"Sir, why are you here so early today?" Lin Huan chuckled.

"I have quit my job at Qixing today and taken a break from my busy schedule to come and see how you are doing. Are you feeling better?" Mr. Zhongli said with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. The pain in my chest has gotten much better today. It's not as severe as it was a few days ago." Lin Huan looked up at him.

Mr. Zhongli did not answer, but walked to the table, poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, saying, "You haven't had any water this morning."

Lin Huan took it, took a sip, frowned slightly, and handed it back. He coughed lightly.

"Look... you're still trying to be brave." Mr. Zhongli sighed, "I wanted to tell you now... but looking at the situation, I'd better wait a little longer."

"No... sir, please speak. I want to listen." Lin Huan looked over with a serious look.

"…It's like this. Xiao has been keeping an eye on the movements in the underground space from the layer of rock. He wrote back today, saying that no more movements can be heard underground… I think the beasts are all gone, so we need to hurry."

"Well... only my brother and Boyang are left." Lin Huan lowered his eyes, "We must hurry..."

"But the pollution in your chest..." Mr. Zhongli said in a low voice, "makes me a little worried...I am worried that if I rashly take you to the abyss, will it cause a recurrence?"

"It should be alright, right?" Lin Huan looked over with a determined look, "Sir... I won't hold you and Xiao back on this matter."

"Of course I believe you, but the point is not this." Mr. Zhongli sat by the bed and gently touched the heads of the two children on the bed. "The point is... if Fushe and the others come out and see you like this... they will definitely be very sad. You still have to work hard to get better... at least don't let them see your miserable side."

"Hmm..." Lin Huan nodded. Actually...in fact, they had all seen how embarrassed they were...the brothers and sisters who had fought side by side at that time were no different from each other, and they had seen each other in all kinds of looks.

"Sir, I'm sorry to have worried you... I will get better soon." I have to take Fushe and the others home.

"Hmm..." Mr. Zhongli nodded, smiled suddenly, and said softly, "Actually, I came here for another thing."

As he spoke, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
