Bei Shuo slept until dawn.
She was woken up by the heat. She kicked the blanket away and stretched, but she accidentally touched Mu Ci’s face.
Bei Shuo hurriedly sat up and met Mu Ci’s smiling eyes.
“Brother Stone, are you awake?” Bei Shuo was pleasantly surprised.
Mu Ci stood up slowly and smiled at Bei Shuo. “Thank you for your hard work.”
Bei Shuo immediately placed her hand on Mu Ci’s wrist. She held his breath and checked his pulse. Her expression was even more surprising. “Let’s try and get off the bed, shall we?”
Mu Ci was stunned.

Under Bei Shuo’s gaze, Mu Ci hesitantly moved to the side of the bed and stood up with Bei Shuo’s help. The carpet was very soft. This was his first feeling. At the same time, his heart could not help but tremble.
Were his feet really able to sense something?
Bei Shuo stood two or three steps in front of him and extended her hand to encourage him.
Mu Ci subconsciously took a step forward. He was stunned!
Another step followed by yet another one!
He looked at Bei Shuo in disbelief. Bei Shuo’s smile was as bright as a spring flower.
Mu Ci walked stiffly towards Bei Shuo.
His legs had not been used for many years. Mu Ci tripped and fell forward. Bei Shuo quickly went to help him, but she could not withstand Mu Ci’s weight. The two of them fell onto the thick and soft carpet.
Bei Shuo pressed under him, but Bei Shuo laughed. “Are you happy? Brother Stone, you can walk now, but you need practice.”
Mu Ci hurriedly moved his body away, afraid that he would crush Bei Shuo. However, the ecstasy in his heart made him prop himself up and hug Bei Shuo in his arms. He said in a trembling voice, “Really! I can walk now!”
Bei Shuo smiled and nodded.
Mu Ci reached out and hugged Bei Shuo. He buried his head in her neck. After a long time, he said softly, “Bei Shuo, don’t leave me.”
Bei Shuo could hear the sadness in his voice. She patted his back and smiled. “I don’t have a home anymore. Brother Mu Ci, please take me in.”
Mu Ci composed himself. He flipped over, lay down on the carpet, and held Bei Shuo’s hand. “Alright, it’s a deal! We’ll be together forever!”
Bei Shuo’s expression became serious. “Then Brother Mu Ci, you have to promise me that you’ll accept proper treatment! Six months doesn’t count as a lifetime, okay? It has to be for as long as I live.”
Tears welled up in Mu Ci’s eyes.
He still had half a year. The entire family knew about this. He was already numb to his grandfather’s sighing and the indifference of his parents, brothers, and relatives.

This time, he truly felt that he was needed.
Bei Shuo said angrily, “I don’t know which quack came up with this conclusion. How did he determine that you still have half a year to live? Send him over. I will need to give him a piece of my mind!”
Mu Ci raised his hand and brushed Bei Shuo’s hair to her ear. He said calmly, “It’s not important anymore.”
He sat up and tried his best to push himself up. Bei Shuo helped him up. “Brother Stone, don’t be anxious. The effects of the Snow Pill have taken effect, but your body has been sick for too long. It won’t recover in a short period of time. Other than giving you daily medicine, acupuncture, and massage, you have to train yourself to recover your muscles. However, in less than a month, you will definitely be able to recover like a normal person.”
Mu Ci held Bei Shuo’s hand and stood up straight. His gaze became firm. “Alright! I will definitely listen to you!”
He took a tentative step forward and walked back to the bed. Bei Shuo gently held his arm. The short walk made Mu Ci sweat slightly.
Bei Shuo told Mu Ci about what had happened in the past two days. She hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ve studied the usual food you eat and your eating habits have to change. The dishes you liked in the past are all harmful to your illness. When it comes to treatment, 30% of it depends on medicine, the rest is up to nourishment. No matter how good the medicine is, it can’t compare to nourishment. Similarly, no matter how good the medicine is, if the diet works against it, the effect will be greatly reduced. It might even conflict with the meds.”
Mu Ci was stunned. A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind.
In the end, he did not say anything. He smiled and said, “Bei Shuo, the food you make is delicious. Can you cook for me from now on?”
Bei Shuo nodded and patted her chest. “Of course! My master and senior brothers are full of praise for my culinary skills! I’ll be in charge of your food in the future!”
