The effect of Chen Haoxuan's blood was even better than he had imagined, and Shen Ruyan's breathing gradually improved.
After a while, Shen Ruyan's complexion slowly became rosy, and the black blood began to disappear. Meanwhile, Chen Haoxuan's face grew increasingly pale as he continued to transfuse blood into Shen Ruyan while preparing the antidote.
Chen Haoxuan's determination moved the doctors and nurses in the operating room, with several nurses quietly shedding tears.
When Chen Haoxuan had nearly finished preparing the antidote, he removed the blood transfusion needle. It wasn't out of stinginess; it was because if he continued to draw blood, he would run out of it himself.
After spending four hours, Chen Haoxuan successfully prepared the antidote. He asked the dean to help inject it into Shen Ruyan's body. After giving instructions, Chen Haoxuan fainted—not from exhaustion, but due to having drawn too much blood for Shen Ruyan, resulting in anemia.
Chen Haoxuan was carried to a ward by the staff to rest.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Shen Ruyan woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she said, "Chen Haoxuan, I'm so hungry."
When she saw the faces of several people by her bedside, she let out a sharp scream: "Ah... Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Brother... why are you all here?"
"Ruyan, you're finally okay! You scared us to death," Shen's family said happily.
Shen Ruyan tried to sit up. She pushed herself with her hands and exerted strength in her waist but failed; her body felt weak. "Mom, what happened to me? Why do I have no strength at all?"
"You still ask! You were poisoned and didn't even know it. If it weren't for Chen Haoxuan, you might have already gone to the underworld," Tao Qiu smiled as she spoke to her daughter.
"Poisoned? Didn't I just eat something bad? How did it turn into poisoning?" Shen Ruyan asked with a puzzled expression.
"You were given a laxative that contained poison. We've never seen that kind of poison before, so we couldn't prepare an antidote in a short time. Fortunately, there was the genius Chen Haoxuan who used his special blood to keep you alive and then prepared the antidote," said the dean by the bedside.
"What about Chen Haoxuan? Why haven't I seen him?" Shen Ruyan asked curiously.
"He fainted because he gave you too much blood," Shen's family replied.
"Is he going to be okay?" Shen Ruyan asked worriedly.
"He's fine, his health is good, and he'll wake up after a few hours of sleep," the director interjected.
"Ruyan, I heard from your mother that you confessed to Chen Haoxuan in front of the whole school recently, and you've been with him almost every day since. Has he agreed to be with you?" Shen Ruyan's mother, Tao Qiu, asked.
"Mom, please stop. Just thinking about that makes me embarrassed. I confessed to him that day because I wanted to get rid of Wang Fuyou and his crazy pursuit, and it wasn't a real confession to Chen Haoxuan," Shen Ruyan explained.
Shen Ruyan was fine, and her family was very happy, chatting away in the hospital room.
Chen Haoxuan had slept through to the next morning. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Shen Ruyan's beautiful face. "What are you doing?" Chen Haoxuan asked.
Shen Ruyan had been staring at Chen Haoxuan's face for a long time. She didn't expect him to suddenly open his eyes, and feeling caught, she felt a bit shy. "You're awake?" Shen Ruyan said sweetly.
"That's obvious; can't you see my eyes are open?" Chen Haoxuan replied.
"How can you be so unromantic! I spoke so gently to you; you should be more polite!" Shen Ruyan said, dissatisfied with Chen Haoxuan's response.
"You seem fine now, right?" Chen Haoxuan asked.
"I'm okay now, thanks to your blood donation and the antidote you prepared for me," Shen Ruyan said gratefully.
"That's good to hear," Chen Haoxuan replied.
"Chen Haoxuan, my grandfather wants me to dedicate myself to you. How do you feel about that?" Shen Ruyan's words were shocking. Just yesterday she was criticizing him, and today she wanted to dedicate herself? That change was too fast. Was it just because he saved her?
"I can't agree because I already have a girlfriend. After we graduate, I'm going to marry her," Chen Haoxuan firmly rejected Shen Ruyan.
Shen Ruyan leaned against Chen Haoxuan's bed and weakly said, "It seems like I'm the worst in your eyes. I even offered myself to you, and you didn't even consider it before rejecting me. That's really discouraging."
"You're not worried about finding a good match? What sadness!" Chen Haoxuan smiled as he said this.
Chen Haoxuan sat up and realized that his strength had returned to normal. He was very satisfied with his body's self-healing ability. He believed that once he trained his body to be strong like in the Future Century, he would truly be invincible.
Chen Haoxuan got out of bed and stood up, only to realize that Shen Ruyan was still wearing his clothes. This outfit was his signature style, and since it was unavoidable yesterday, he needed to get it back today now that Shen Ruyan was fine.
With a flattering smile, Chen Haoxuan said to Shen Ruyan, "Shen Ruyan, look at you, your body has recovered, so can you please return my clothes?"
Shen Ruyan tightly grasped the collar of the outfit, seemingly afraid that Chen Haoxuan would try to take it off her. She said coyly, "Just let me wear it for a few more days!"
Chen Haoxuan tugged at his own outfit and replied, "Look at what I'm wearing. If I show up like this, people might throw a few coins at me! But you're different; this is a military camp, and most of your family is here. You could just ask for a couple of pieces from them instead of wearing my dirty clothes!"
"No way! Who told you to design such nice clothes? This morning when my mom brought me breakfast, you wouldn't believe it—she saw me in this outfit and almost rushed over to try it on herself! She even praised me for having such a unique style, saying I looked like a leader," Shen Ruyan boasted.
"So you want to wear it for a few more days? Fine, but I advise you not to wear it outside because when I designed this outfit, I told many netizens online that it's my signature style. Only I can wear it; if anyone else does, they'll be called a counterfeit," Chen Haoxuan warned.
"Don't worry; this is a military camp with no outsiders around. Besides, soldiers won't talk back like that. My rank is higher than theirs; they wouldn't dare laugh at me," Shen Ruyan said proudly.
"Shen Ruyan, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Just wait until you're better before heading to New City University! As for me, I'm fine now, so I'm leaving first. Bye!" Chen Haoxuan waved at Shen Ruyan.
"Go ahead! Without me guiding you or someone giving you a pass, you won't be able to leave the military camp," Shen Ruyan said with a smug smile.
