Ye Xiao listened to Song Jiaqian's desire to let him repay her and immediately his expression became very serious as he looked at her.

Song Jiaqian thought she had said something wrong.

At this moment, Ye Xiao was looking at Song Jiaqian very earnestly and said, "Actually, I've wanted to repay you for a long time now, Qianqian, do you know?"

"Oh?" Seeing Ye Xiao's serious face, Song Jiaqian was immediately somewhat surprised and looked at him, clearly also somewhat expectant of Ye Xiao's repayment.

"You also know that I have no other strengths, my only advantage is this body of mine. So, I've decided to give it to you today, hoping you will treat it well for a lifetime."

Ye Xiao was extremely serious. Of course, it was because of Ye Xiao's seriousness at this moment that Song Jiaqian looked absolutely disgusted.

"Ye Xiao, do you find it amusing to tease me?" Song Jiaqian glared at Ye Xiao, puffed up with anger.

Ye Xiao's hand slapped onto the wall behind Song Jiaqian, trapping her against the edge of the wall, her back against it.

"Do you think I'm playing with you?" Ye Xiao looked deeply into Song Jiaqian's eyes and continued to say, "If it weren't for my unspeakable troubles, do you think I wouldn't propose to you right away? Although I know that someone with no special talents like me might not be worthy of you, I still want to propose to you, have you become my beloved wife. But, I really can't speak out, because I truly do have unspeakable troubles."

"Unspeakable troubles?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Song Jiaqian was really very curious now. Clearly, what she was most curious about was what exactly were Ye Xiao's unspeakable troubles? He even seemed to be in pain.

"Yes, unspeakable troubles!" Ye Xiao said.

Perhaps if someone who knew him well saw Ye Xiao's expression at this moment and heard what he was saying, they would think that Ye Xiao was just pretending. But in reality? Obviously, he wasn't pretending, nor was he insincere. Quite the opposite, what Ye Xiao spoke of was the truth.

Being able to take a peerless beauty like Song Jiaqian home as a wife would truly be worth dying for!

Yet, he really had no way to do that. He was Ye Xiao, destined to not be someone who could live life in peace and stability. He was just a hardworking soul.

"What exactly is it? Can you tell me?" Song Jiaqian, seeing the seriousness and sincerity on Ye Xiao's face, couldn't help but ask.

Ye Xiao sighed and said, "Of course I can tell you. My biggest wish in this life is to be able to find my parents. Originally, someone gave me a lead that they were in Minghai City, but recently I've received another clue, saying that someone in Bird City knows of my parents' whereabouts. So, it's likely that I'll be heading to Bird City soon. Whether it'll be safe or dangerous there, that's still unknown. This is my unspeakable trouble. So tell me, can I really propose to you now? If you feel I am with you and agree to me, could I bear to let you live a life of displacement with me? I'm a man, remember, I am a man who stands between heaven and earth!"

Song Jiaqian was originally a bit angry that Ye Xiao hadn't come to see her for such a long time, but after his long speech, where would she be angry now? Instead, she felt how difficult Ye Xiao really had it—poor and orphaned, filled with love but afraid to express it.

"Ye Xiao, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!" Song Jiaqian bowed her head and said in a very light voice.

Ye Xiao sighed and said, "Sorry, it's my fault!"

"No!" Song Jiaqian immediately covered Ye Xiao's lips with her hand and said, "It's fate playing tricks."

"Do you still blame me?" Ye Xiao asked in a soft and gentle voice.

Song Jiaqian immediately said, "No... I don't blame you. It's all my own overthinking. I won't think that way anymore."

"No, you should think, because only then will I know that you care about me!" Ye Xiao looked into Song Jiaqian's eyes meaningfully.

Song Jiaqian was once again moved by Ye Xiao's words.

She was embraced by Ye Xiao, and they didn't let go for a long time.

Ye Xiao secretly smiled in his heart—how could he not sweet-talk a woman? Besides, everything he had said was not a lie. It was just that the way he spoke was skillful, and so, Song Jiaqian was 'handled.'

"Ye Xiao, I will wait for you!" Song Jiaqian said softly as she lay in Ye Xiao's arms.

"I believe you!" Ye Xiao's voice was also very soft.

The two of them embraced tenderly, and Ye Xiao felt extremely blessed by the sensation. If only it could continue like this forever.

Sure enough, before long, several coughs interrupted their tender embrace!

There were only three people in this room: Ye Xiao, Song Jiaqian, and Qin Yulu. Since the cough wasn't from the two of them, it was clearly Qin Yulu's cough.

The two of them hurriedly let go of each other, exchanged glances with a secretive smile, sharing a feeling like they had just stolen a moment of affection.

Then, the two of them hurriedly went over to Qin Yulu's sickbed.

At this moment, Qin Yulu's eyes slowly opened, and the first person she saw was Ye Xiao.

Qin Yulu, upon seeing Ye Xiao, was immediately surprised and exclaimed, "Ye Xiao, what are you doing here? Where is this?"

As Qin Yulu realized she was no longer at the academy, she felt very strange. She had basically forgotten everything that had happened before.

"This is the hospital," Ye Xiao said softly to Qin Yulu.

At the same time, Song Jiaqian also spoke to Qin Yulu, "Miss Qin, how are you feeling? You lost a lot of blood, it was Ye Xiao who gave you a transfusion."

Hearing Song Jiaqian's words, Qin Yulu noticed that there was another person there. However, the revelation that Ye Xiao had given her a blood transfusion made her look at him with surprise, and then she said, "Ye Xiao, it was you!"

Ye Xiao gave a soft laugh and responded, "Don't worry about it too much. Right now, you need to focus on recovery. You're going to convalesce here for a while."

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Qin Yulu said in confusion, "My head hurts terribly, what exactly happened?"

"Do you remember the incident at the back door of Minghai Academy last time? It's because of what happened then, these are just aftereffects," Ye Xiao explained.

At the mention of Minghai Academy's back door, Qin Yulu immediately thought of the awe-inspiring events that had taken place, events that she had never encountered before—it was also the first time she learned that a person could fly without any mechanical devices.

"Aftereffects?" Qin Yulu asked with surprise, "What should we do then?"

"Don't worry, everything is under control," Ye Xiao reassured her.

Song Jiaqian added, "Ye Xiao is a Qi Gong Master, so don't be afraid. If it weren't for him being a Qi Gong Master, you might have been in real danger today, even in the hospital, we would have been helpless."

"Ah?" Qin Yulu, upon hearing this, looked at Ye Xiao in disbelief. Ye Xiao was a Qi Gong Master? Were the things Ye Xiao demonstrated the work of a Qi Gong Master?

Ye Xiao, hearing Song Jiaqian's words, could only give a wry smile, thinking, well, if Song Jiaqian believes those are the abilities of a Qi Gong Master, then let it be so.

"Don't worry, everything is fine," Ye Xiao assured her.

"How long do I need to stay in the hospital?" Qin Yulu inquired.

Since the cold poison in Qin Yulu's body had temporarily disappeared, and the blood loss had been replenished, she wasn't too weak.

"About ten days to half a month," Ye Xiao estimated.

"Ah? That long? I need to call my parents to tell them. I can't keep it a secret for so long," Qin Yulu said.

Hearing Qin Yulu's words, Song Jiaqian immediately looked at Ye Xiao. Quite some time had passed since Qin Yulu's parents had disappeared, and they had not turned up, as if they had left. In fact, Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian also found it strange—why had the two of them left? Qin Yulu had just come out of the emergency room, and even if they weren't her biological parents, they shouldn't have...

Of course, there were some things they would not say out loud.

But Ye Xiao felt that there were some things related to Qin Yulu that still needed to be told to her.

"Yulu, there's something I need to tell you, but don't get agitated after I do," Ye Xiao looked at Qin Yulu seriously.

"Oh? What is it?" Qin Yulu looked at Ye Xiao with curiosity, clearly puzzled as to what Ye Xiao could possibly have to tell her that might agitate her.

"Your parents came by, but now their whereabouts are unknown, and…" Ye Xiao said slowly.

The nervous Qin Yulu quickly looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Ye Xiao, what do you mean by my parents' whereabouts are unknown?"

"Well… I don't quite know how to put this, but there is something else I need to tell you about your past," Ye Xiao said hesitantly.

However, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Qin Yulu didn't show confusion or disbelief; instead, she said, "Is it about them not being my biological parents?"

Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian exchanged surprised glances upon hearing Qin Yulu's words—they hadn't mentioned it—so how could Qin Yulu have guessed? Could it be that Qin Yulu also possessed some sort of extraordinary ability, a precognition?

Qin Yulu then explained why she knew.

"I found out half a year ago. One night, I overheard my 'parents' talking in their room. They were whispering, but I still heard them. They are not my biological parents. I was given to them by a mysterious person who threatened them, saying that if they did not take good care of me, he would kill them. So, they raised me. Initially, they resented it, but over time, as we lived together longer and since no one came to claim me, they started treating me as if I was their own daughter," Qin Yulu sighed and recounted slowly.

Hearing Qin Yulu's words, both Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian were utterly astonished.
