The tempestuous downpour had subsided once more, more than an hour had passed. This time, even Su Xiaoxiao couldn't hold on any longer. After cleaning up the battlefield, Jiang Yexun drifted off into a deep slumber.
Jiang Yexun affectionately kissed her smooth, full forehead, squinting as he did so. He left a note and retrieved the medicine pouches from his luggage. With the assistance of two attendants, he moved the coal brazier and lounges to a nearby clearing not far from the inn. Carrying two large buckets filled with water, he began brewing the medicine.
When Su Xiaoxiao awoke and saw the note, she immediately went out to find him. "Brother Yexun," she sweetly called and pounced toward him. However, since they were outdoors and less than two meters apart, she stopped. With her hands clutching her braids, she gazed at him with a sweet and radiant smile.
