The poor girl from the 1970s was forced to kiss by the damp educated youth.

They couldn't win in a fight, and arguing would be beneath them, especially with several onlookers nearby.

I made a fool of myself today, I'm so embarrassed!

Xi Fangxiu flung his sleeves and stormed off, taking Xie Lingling, Xi Yue, and a group of Xie family members with him.

Xi Lang sat down on the sofa, waved to Chen Zhi who was still standing at the bottom of the building, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come here."

Chen Zhi blinked. From the moment Xi Lang appeared until now, her gaze had been fixed on him, unable and unwilling to look away. She hadn't seen him for over a year, and she missed him so much she was going crazy.

Her eyes slowly became sore, and she didn't know why, but at that moment she felt extremely wronged.

She didn't want to go there.

She wanted him to come over.

Chen Zhi felt wronged and a little angry.

Xi Lang looked helpless. He looked away and said to Song Zhaoyuan and the others beside him, "I haven't recovered yet. Let's talk about it later."

Song Zhaoyuan nodded, indicating his understanding, "We'll come back in two days."

Xi Lang hummed in agreement.

Master Yang frowned. "Why did you wake up at this time? It shouldn't be like this."

Logically speaking, Xi Lang shouldn't be able to wake up. Could it be that something happened that they don't know about?

"I was a bit luckier; I met a benefactor."

As Xi Lang spoke, his gaze fell on Chen Zhi.

Master Yang also looked at Chen Zhi, wondering if the important person was related to this girl.

"Mr. Xi, the situation here is urgent. Do you think we could—" The three men looked anxious and troubled. "We already have six people unconscious. If we wait any longer, we're worried the situation will get worse."

Xi Lang frowned. Was the matter still unresolved?

Master Yang said, "Mr. Xi has just woken up, and I'm afraid his condition is not suitable for a long journey."

"this--"

The three men exchanged hesitant glances. Xi Lang's condition did indeed look grim; it wasn't fair to put someone who had been asleep for over a year back to work so soon. But they had no other choice; the situation was urgent and couldn't be delayed.

Master Yang: "Besides Mr. Xi, I know many other masters. I'll contact them, and they should be willing to help."

Song Zhaoyuan and Master Yang left, taking the three people Chen Zhi didn't recognize with them.

Only Chen Zhi and Xi Lang remained in the house, along with Liu Ma, who was sneaking around in the kitchen, peeking furtively.

"Aunt Liu, is lunch ready?" Xi Lang asked.

"Okay, okay," Aunt Liu agreed quickly, smiling. "Would you and Madam like to have your meal now?"

Xi Lang nodded, "Thank you for your help, Aunt Liu."

"No trouble at all, it's all my duty." Aunt Liu went to fetch the food.

Xi Lang then walked towards Chen Zhi. He was so thin, emaciated, and weak that he looked like he might collapse at any moment.

Chen Zhi's pent-up anger somehow dissipated, and before Xi Lang could even reach her, she quickly took a few steps and hugged him tightly.

"Too thin, it's uncomfortable," she mumbled, burying her face in Xi Lang's chest.

Xi Lang sighed, then hugged her tightly with both hands, his thin hands gripping her tightly as if he wanted to meld her into his own body.

"I'm sorry," he said.

Chen Zhi gave a muffled "hmm," accepting his apology.

Xi Lang added, "Thank you."

Thank you for coming to me, thank you for expelling the dark energy from my body.

Thank you for not giving up on me.

The two hugged for a while, and after the food was served, Xi Lang took Chen Zhi's hand and walked to the table.

On the table was a bowl of chicken soup, leftover from the chicken Chen Zhi had bought last time. Besides the chicken soup, there was also a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts.

Xi Lang looked at the dish and frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.

"I still have plenty of meat here, including fish, wild boar, rabbit, pheasant, wolf, and black bear meat. I collected them all back in the countryside. What would you like to eat? I'll have Aunt Liu cook it for you. I also have two dragons, one white and one black. I'm keeping these to help you recover," Xi Lang said. After what happened today, the Xi family would definitely stop providing food here. He wasn't worried about the meat; he had several thousand catties of meat in his Qiankun sleeve. Even without meat coupons, he wouldn't have to worry about not having meat to eat.

It's just green vegetables—

Xi Lang thought about it and figured he could solve the problem by making a few more trips to the black market.

"I don't need to nourish my body, but you are too thin." You are so thin it's heartbreaking.

Xi Lang curled his lips into a smile. "Let's finish it together."

After the two finished their meal, Xi Lang looked tired. Chen Zhi was worried and took him upstairs.

After entering the room, Xi Lang planned to take a shower first.

"Take off all the sheets and duvet covers from my bed, I'll sleep in your room later," Xi Lang said.

The two used to share a bed, and Chen Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Hmm, it's time to take it apart and wash it."

Xi Lang: "Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Zhi removed the bed sheets and duvet cover, and also picked up the clothes that Xi Lang had changed out of.

"I'm going to wash my things. After you take a shower, go sleep in the next room," Chen Zhi instructed him.

These past two days, she's been washing her clothes with just water. But for larger items like bed sheets, Chen Zhi thinks she should use some soap, or perhaps some soapberry or something similar, to thoroughly wash them.

She took the things downstairs, but Liu Ma snatched them away.

"Young Master has just woken up. Madam, please go and take care of him. Leave these things to me." Liu Ma took the things and left, not giving Chen Zhi a chance to refuse.

Chen Zhi went back upstairs. Xi Lang's room was empty, so she went to her own room.

Pushing open the door, she saw that Xi Lang had somehow dragged out several burlap sacks from under her bed, and he was frowning as he looked at the sacks full of jade and precious stones.

"I couldn't get rid of the dark energy on you, so I found that jade and emeralds could be used as containers for it, and I went to find these. It turns out they really worked, and you woke up," Chen Zhi said.

Xi Lang was surprised, not expecting her to come up with this idea. "You did a great job."

With strict regulations outside these days, she must have gone through a lot of effort to get these things.

Xi Lang's heart melted, and he couldn't help but pull Chen Zhi into his arms. "Do you still have money?"

"Yes, these don't cost much." Chen Zhi counted on her fingers and found that the total cost of these items was less than one hundred yuan.

Xi Lang didn't believe it. Just that one large piece of imperial green glass-type jadeite, according to the current market price, would probably cost tens of thousands of yuan.

There is never a shortage of discerning wealthy people.

"I still have tens of thousands left. I haven't touched the savings account you gave me. This year, I've been working with Brother Shi, selling some game and fish, and I've also raised pigs myself, making quite a bit of money. The money I earned is in another savings account, and it's already reached 30,000. As for Brother Shi, there are still several thousand more debts that haven't been collected yet," Chen Zhi said, her tone smug.

"That's amazing?" Xi Lang raised an eyebrow. This was no small amount. Xi Fangxiu earned a little over a hundred a month to support a large family, while she, without making a sound, earned tens of thousands of yuan all by herself.

"Of course." Chen Zhi pointed to the jadeite that was said to be very valuable. "This piece was cut out of my stone, it didn't cost me anything. These, these, and these were gifts from people I saved, they didn't cost me anything either."

Xi Lang: "..." He seems to have missed a lot of things.

Xi Lang lay on the bed, and Chen Zhi sat on the edge of the bed. Chen Zhi told him about her experiences over the past year, every little detail, from tearing apart a zombie with her bare hands to catching a mouse. She shared every single thing with Xi Lang.

Xi Lang listened with great interest, patiently and patiently, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel regretful for having missed more than a year of her time.

When Xi Lang heard about Chen Zhi's battle with the white fox, his heart clenched. He thought he had cleaned up the "things" in that area, but he didn't expect that he still left her with so many hidden dangers.

"If it weren't for all those highly nutritious things you gave me, I wouldn't have become this powerful!" Every time Xi Lang gave her those "supplements," she could feel herself getting stronger.

That must have been something very precious. Xi Lang gave it to her every time, and she always remembered how good Xi Lang was to her.

"Because you're the right fit." Not everyone can handle those things, and besides her, he hasn't found anyone else.

Of course, this scope only includes humans.

Chen Zhi smiled, not taking Xi Lang's words seriously.

She then brought up what had happened since she arrived in Beijing. Although she had only been there for a few days, she had a lot to do.

Xi Lang only just found out that the policy has been relaxed, which is great; he no longer has to worry about having money but not being able to buy things.

Chen Zhi talked for a long time until Xi Lang fell asleep, then she shut her mouth.

The doctor came again in the afternoon. It was Chen Zhi's first time meeting a doctor. The doctor who came to her door was a young man surnamed Huo. Dr. Huo was handsome, wearing a white coat and carrying a medicine box. When he came upstairs, Chen Zhi was just coming downstairs. The two looked at each other and were both stunned for a moment.

"Xi Lang just fell asleep," Chen Zhi said.

Dr. Huo was puzzled. Wasn't Mr. Xi always unconscious?

At this moment, Aunt Liu came out from the backyard with a smile on her face. "Dr. Huo, our young master has woken up. He just woke up today. Please go and take a look at him."

Dr. Huo suspected there was something wrong with his ears. "Is the patient awake?"

"Yes, he's awake. Dr. Huo, don't just stand there, go and examine our young master." Aunt Liu urged.

How could someone who was on the verge of death suddenly wake up?

Huo Chunsheng didn't believe it.

But looking into those sharp eyes and listening to the other person's strong heartbeat, this person didn't seem like someone who was terminally ill at all.

How did it get better overnight?

Even a withered tree coming back to life couldn't be more miraculous.

This is probably the miracle that the senior students were talking about, and he witnessed it with his own eyes today.

"Based on the preliminary examination, Mr. Xi appears to be malnourished and underweight, but there are no other issues. However, I recommend that Mr. Xi go to the hospital for a comprehensive and in-depth examination."

"Thank you, I'll go when I have time."

Xi Lang has woken up, and the IV drip can be stopped. Dr. Huo advised Xi Lang to rest more and replenish his nutrition, and then left.

As soon as Dr. Huo left, Xi Lang took out two pheasants and a large piece of dragon meat from his Qiankun sleeve. "How about this for dinner?"

Chen Zhi took it, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Xi Lang hummed in agreement, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again.

When Chen Zhi came downstairs carrying the meat, Liu Ma's expression was somewhat complicated. "Young Madam, are you hiding the meat upstairs because you're afraid someone will steal it?"
