Holy crap! Did she just bludgeon Sheng Yize to death?!

She knelt down and hastily checked Sheng Yize .
He looked very pale . With his damp hair sticking to his cheeks, that little mole beneath his eye had a sickly beauty to it .
“Mhm… Sheng Yize! Sheng Yize, you’re scaring me! Wake up!” An Xiaxia almost burst into tears .
Her crying was only met with silence .
When Sheng Yize woke up again, he was somewhat disoriented .

Above his head was a dilapidated brick-and-tile roof . He could even make out a spider busily weaving its web in the corner .
The bed beneath him felt quite hard . The duvet on him was worn at the edges, but it was very clean — he could even smell the sun on it .
Sitting up, he looked around the room . Judging from what was on display, he was in a farmhouse in the mountains .
He slowly walked out of the room . Outside, the sun was setting and the sky looked beautiful under the evening glow . Smoke from cooking curled in the air . He then saw An Xiaxia in floral-patterned clothes — she was helping a woman cut vegetables for dinner . The smile on her face even dazed him a little .
An Xiaxia looked up at that moment, probably noticing his footsteps . She then looked at him in pleasant surprise . “Sheng Yize, you’re awake!”
“Yes,” he replied . An Xiaxia then plunged into his arms . “Great! I’m so happy you’re all right!”

Sheng Yize froze on the spot at this hug, then cleared his throat and pushed An Xiaxia away . “Stay away from me, Daisy . ”
An Xiaxia fumed . “What did you just call me? Daisy? Are you calling me rustic?! Let’s see how handsome you are, Buck!”
She almost wanted to take a picture of him . There was nothing glamorous about him now . With the loose undershirt, the short sweatpants, and the slippers, nothing about him suggested that he was a national idol .
Sheng Yize’s face darkened and he was going to retort when the woman smiled warmly and interjected . She had the thick accent of someone who lived in the mountain area . “You two are such an affectionate brother and sister pair . There, go sit inside . Dinner will be ready soon!”
An Xiaxia replied with a sweet smile . “Thank you, Auntie . ”
The woman smiled, then took the vegetables into the kitchen and began to make dinner .

Sheng Yize raised an eyebrow . “You better explain what is going on here . ”
Seething, An Xiaxia said, “Are you questioning me now? Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt? You just passed out like that! Do you have any idea how worried I was? Thank god my dad taught me some first-aid measures, or you would have died there!”
“Tch… why did you think I was injured? To save you! An Xiaxia, you better get your facts straight,” retorted Sheng Yize indifferently .
An Xiaxia suddenly stood on her tiptoes and covered his mouth with her hand, then said in a whisper, “Shh . I was afraid they might try something behind our backs, so I told them we’re brother and sister . I’m not An Xiaxia now, but Sheng Xiaxia . You’re my older brother and I’m your younger sister . Got it?”
Sheng Yize almost smiled at how cautious she was .
“Genetically speaking, it’s very unlikely that I could have a younger sister as dumb as you . ” Sheng Yize offered a sarcastic comment .
An Xiaxia looked hurt . “Don’t talk to me! Do you have any idea how heavy you are? I dragged you for so long and it was sheer luck that I ran into an uncle coming out of the village to collect herbs! You…”
She didn’t know what to accuse him of after that “you . ” Stomping the ground, she stormed off .
Sheng Yize stood there dazed for two second before An Xiaxia turned around and went up to him with an innocent smile . “Sheng Yize, you have to thank me . I washed your underwear for you! Oh, and there’s more: you really don’t have much to look at! Hmph!”
Sheng Yize was the dumbfounded one now .
