"Really? Have I been asleep for a long time?" Su Ruolan was startled by Qin Zhi Han's words. Had she been dreaming or was it real? She tentatively asked, "Did you encounter anything strange, like a staircase that you couldn't get out of or something?"
"No, we just went down the stairs together. You were leading the way as if you were very familiar with it. No matter how I called you, you didn't respond and walked really fast. I was worried something might happen to you, so I followed closely behind. Then we arrived in this empty room, and you just spaced out before collapsing. I was so worried that I didn't dare to leave," Qin Zhi Han said casually while turning the roasted chicken.
He hadn't encountered anything unusual? Did he not see the illusion? Su Ruolan quickly called out, "Reset, are you there?"
"I'm here, Ruo Lan," a weak voice replied, nearly scaring Su Ruolan.
"What happened to you?" Su Ruolan asked in her mind.
"Do you think merging souls is easy? If I hadn't been continuously guiding and remedying the energy, you would have exploded from energy overload long ago. I'm exhausted; I need to rest for a short while to recover. I can't help you for now. We'll talk when I wake up," the voice faded, becoming weaker until it abruptly stopped.
Su Ruolan felt frustrated. This unreliable entity was still like this, failing at a critical moment. Forget it; she would wait until it fully woke up before asking. Channeling her Ability, Su Ruolan was surprised to find that her Ability had risen again, reaching Level 7 High Tier. All her powers felt smooth and responsive. Why was there no noticeable change with this upgrade? According to Long-Tailed Su Ruolan and Reset, she should be safe now; finally, she could set aside the sword of anxiety hanging over her head.
"Ruo Lan, why are you spacing out again? Are you okay?" Qin Zhi Han turned back while roasting the chicken and suddenly noticed Su Ruolan staring blankly again. Startled, he dropped the chicken and rushed over in a few strides. He wrapped his long arms around her gently and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here; don't be afraid."
Coming back to her senses, Su Ruolan was taken aback. What was happening? Had she been acting strangely before? In her surprise, she forgot to push Qin Zhi Han away.
"You were just having a bad dream; it's all fake. Don't be afraid or cry; I'm here. You'll wake up soon," Qin Zhi Han held Su Ruolan tightly, resting his chin on her head while gently patting her back with his right hand.
The sudden rush of masculine scent brought a sense of security that filled Su Ruolan's heart with warmth and satisfaction. The solid weight of his shoulder made her feel grounded and reliable. After experiencing so much turmoil earlier, she finally relaxed; no matter how difficult the road ahead might be, having someone by her side who cared felt wonderful.
Unwilling to break this moment of warmth, Su Ruolan chose not to speak or refuse him and leaned against Qin Zhi Han's shoulder. Feeling him soften beside her instead of being stiff made Qin Zhi Han's heart bubble with joy; finally, Ruo Lan no longer rejected his closeness. He had instinctively taken care of her just now and feared her harsh refusal. But thankfully, Ruo Lan had truly let down her guard against him; he could finally step into her heart. This was not easy at all.
