Huo Xuan had already expected that the old man would leave early. He nodded respectfully and replied seriously, “Don’t worry, Master. I will definitely take good care of Xiao Zhu!”
After saying this, before Elder Guo could leave, Mo Zhu chased out of the balcony. “Master, do you know the secret behind the Jade-faced Guan Yin?”
Upon hearing the girl’s question, Old Guo shook his head with his back facing Mo Zhu. He sighed unhurriedly and said, “Girl, there are some things that are better left not knowing. You just have to protect yourself and keep it well. You don’t have to listen or ask about anything else. Otherwise, there will be
danger everywhere. You might not be able to deal with it!”
Just as he finished speaking, Old Guo didn’t stay any longer. He immediately tuned around and returned to his room.
After the old man left, Mo Zhu found a chair on the balcony and sat down, quietly looking at the stars outside the window.
Seeing this, Huo Xuan also sat down beside the girl.
A moment later, a cold wind blew past the half-opened window. A chill surged into Mo Zhu’s body for no reason when the wind blew, causing her to sneeze violently.
Huo Xuan frowned. He took off his coat and draped it over the girl’s back. He reached out and pulled Mo Zhu into his arms. “Why are you suddenly sneezing? Did you catch a cold in the water today?”
‘When Mo Zhu heard this, she thought about jumping into the river in the morning to save Jiang Yu and nodded thoughtfully. “Maybe.”
After dealing with that group of people in the morning, Mo Zhu wiped her body simply, dried her clothes in the car, and returned to school. She frowned slightly and felt that she might have caught a slight cold from the cold by the river before she got into the car.
Huo Xuan stood up and closed the window. Seeing that the night was getting darker, he turned to the girl and said softly, “You’re tired from everything that happened today. Why don’t you go back to your room and rest early!”
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu acknowledged obediently. Unexpectedly, just as she stood up, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and immediately lost consciousness.
Huo Xuan took a step forward and caught Mo Zhu. He quickly carried her to the room and laid her down. Just as he placed the girl down, he turned around and left to invite Old Guo.
Not long after Old Guo returned to his room, he heard Huo Xuan knock on the door hurriedly and said that Mo Zhu had fainted. He frowned and quickly followed Huo Xuan to Mo Zhu’s room.
Gently taking Mo Zhu’s pulse, Old Guo calmed down and diagnosed the girl’s condition. A few minutes later, he looked up at Huo Xuan seriously and said, “There’s nothing wrong with this girl. She’s born with a cold constitution. Every time her period comes, she will suffer a lot more pain than other girls.
She might have caught a cold today and didn’t recover from it.”
After a pause, Old Guo put on a serious expression. “This girl is weak. Her life in the countryside has been tough and she hasn’t been receiving enough nutrition. You have to pay more attention to this in the future. Watch her and don’t let her touch cold water easily.”
When Huo Xuan heard this, his gaze gently landed on Mo Zhu, who was lying quietly on the bed. He seemed to have recalled something and frowned as he asked, “Master, is there a way to treat Xiao Zhu’s symptoms?”
Old Guo waved his hand and told Huo Xuan without any hesitation, “This girl’s natural constitution is like this. She was born with it in her mother’s womb. If she replenishes the nutrition she has lost over the years and nourishes her body, perhaps it can alleviate the symptoms, but it’s almost impossible
to cure her completely.”
“Also…” Old Guo changed the topic. He stared at Huo Xuan and asked, “Has Xiao Zhu touched that thing recently? ”
‘When he heard that thing from Elder Guo, Huo Xuan immediately reacted to what it was. He frowned slightly and replied, “Yes, she has been studying that jade-faced Guan Yin statue for the past two days.”
When Old Guo heard this, he sighed deeply and said, “Kid, when she wakes up, ask her to study that thing less. I won’t say anything more. Maybe everything has its own karma.”
After saying this, Old Guo instructed Huo Xuan to keep a close eye on Mo Zhu before leaving the room.
After Old Guo left, Huo Xuan quietly looked at the girl’s slightly thin face. His heart ached as he stroked Mo Zhu’s soft hand. Indeed, she felt like what the old man had said. The girl’s hand was very cold, and a heart-piercing coldness traveled from their interlocked palms into Huo Xuan’s heart.
After pondering for a moment, Huo Xuan took off his shoes and got into bed. He laid down beside Mo Zhu and pulled the blanket over the two of them. Huo Xuan placed a hand on Mo Zhu’s abdomen and slowly rubbed it.
Sensing the girl’s body temperature rising in his arms, Huo Xuan gradually relaxed and fell asleep..
