Over the week, Xiao Rong Yao's condition continued to be stable, and that made Shen Nan Kun and Zhou Dong very anxious because they had gotten people to put drugs in Xiao Rong Yao's intravenous therapy drip. However, because Xiao Rong Yao's condition had been stable, they were worried that things would not go according to plan.
Nonetheless, they knew that the drugs that they had used were slow-acting because they wanted to prevent people from suspecting them. Hence, they were still rather patient and were waiting eagerly for the day that Xiao Rong Yao would be sent into the intensive care unit and for him to die.
However, they still don't know that the drugs that they ordered people to put in the intravenous drip never got into Xiao Rong Yao's body because Jing Mo Chen had people place close attention to the surroundings.
On the other hand, Song Qiao went to the temple in the mountains to pray for Xiao Rong Yao, and Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi sent people to protect her in secret. Song Qiao spent her days at the temple as a vegetarian and reciting chant scriptures in hopes of Xiao Rong Yao's good health.
Shen Yu Rou continued to look after Xiao Rong Yao in the day while Shen Feng Xing looked for jobs so that they could support themselves. She also started to bring her school work to Xiao Rong Yao's wardroom so that she wouldn't miss out too much on her studies, and then she could keep up with her schoolwork. She also secretly took up some freelancing jobs such as editing and translating so that she could reduce the burden Shen Feng Xing had on looking for jobs.
Meanwhile, Mo Xi and Shen Feng Xing continued to improve their plans on faking Xiao Rong Yao's death. They also secretly worked with White Wolf, Qi Xiao Hui, and Feng Rui in hopes that their plans could go smoothly with the help of the Bai family and the police team.
Surprisingly, Qi Xiao Hui and Feng Rui's relations.h.i.+p seemed to have gotten even closer over the week because Feng Rui was down with a high fever on one of the days that they were working together.
Although Feng Rui was feeling unwell at the start, he still went to work because he wanted to see Qi Xiao Hui. He also thought that it wasn't that serious and didn't want her to feel that he was a weak person that would miss work because of a mere cold. However, at the end of the day, he fainted in front of her. It turns out that his illness had gotten worse from being under the sun and then going into aircon rooms. By the time he fainted, his illness had already worsened and became a very high fever that was almost life-threatening.
On the one hand, when Qi Xiao Hui found out that Feng Rui had been sick the whole day, she felt guilty that she hadn't paid close attention to him and made him work the entire day. On the other hand, she also felt very respectful towards Feng Rui for treating his work so seriously.
Qi Xiao Hui sent him to the hospital and then spent the night taking care of Feng Rui even though there were nurses on duty. She didn't sleep a wink for the night and kept changing the towel that she placed on his forehead to cool him down. She kept a close eye on the monitor in case his illness took a turn for the worse, and she could look for help immediately if anything really happens. She also took that chance to take a close look at Feng Rui's face because she never dared to look at him carefully before. Ever since the day that she got r*ped, she became a little scared to look at men, but she wasn't really affected by it since she never really looked at any man before that anyways.
However, Qi Xiao Hui felt a sense of attraction towards Feng Rui. An attraction that she couldn't comprehend. That was why she wanted to know what it was, and it was also why she was anxious when he fainted in front of her. She wanted to take care of him because she felt that she would never have such a chance if she missed it. However, gradually, as the sun started to rise, she fell asleep while looking at him.
When Feng Rui woke up, he found that Qi Xiao Hui had fallen asleep with her head on her hands, which were on his bed. He was both happy and embarra.s.sed. He was delighted that Qi Xiao Hui took care of him the whole night, and he felt that perhaps that meant that he was important in her heart. However, he was embarra.s.sed because he fainted with a little fever, and he was worried that she would feel that he was weak. He secretly touched her hair while she was still asleep and gently pinched her cheek before she woke up. Both of their cheeks turned red immediately due to the awkwardness, and ever since that day, they would blush whenever they see each other.
Meanwhile, Xie Xiu Ling was well in the loop of whatever Shen Feng Xing and Mo Xi were going to do, and she also prepared the things needed to transfer Xu Zi Fang to Tang Xi Hospital.
On the other hand, round two, three, four, and five of the compet.i.tion continued over the week, and at the end of round five, only three people were left.
Lu Jin Sheng, Jiang Xue Zi, and Ning Hua were the only people left in the last round of the compet.i.tion.
Lu Jin Sheng continuously topped the scores of all the rounds, and that garnered a lot of attention from the media and the public. Everyone was very eager to see how the compet.i.tion would turn out at the end and whether Ning Hua would win against the newbie.
