Xiao Xiao stood up.
Su Youjin instinctively stood up with him.
Only then did she fully process what Master Xiao had just said.
"Auntie Zhou..."
She looked at Master Xiao.
"She's all right?"
So soon?
And yet...
She really hadn't seen anything happen.
Even from this close.
All she'd seen was Master Xiao reach out and touch—
No.
There had been contact.
Master Xiao's hand had rested lightly on Auntie Zhou's arm.
That was all he'd done...
There hadn't even been a second motion.
And just like that, it was over?
Su Youjin couldn't help feeling surprised and disbelieving.
She looked at Zhou, who didn't seem to have changed at all—

Su Youjin crouched down again.
Auntie Zhou's eyelids merely twitched.
She didn't wake up.

Auntie Zhou seemed to have a little more color in her face.
She also looked more peaceful as she slept.
Was it just her imagination?
She studied Auntie Zhou carefully once more.
Then she looked up at Master Xiao.
"Master Xiao..."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
"Let Auntie Zhou get a good night's sleep and eat a good meal when she wakes up. She should be fine."
A smile slowly spread across Su Youjin's eyes.
"...Really?"
She spoke softly.
"That's wonderful."
Su Youjin pulled the blanket over Auntie Zhou, then stood up again.
She looked at the two children beside them.
"Since Auntie Zhou is resting, we won't disturb her."
"We'll be going now."
"Ah..."
The little boy and girl unconsciously followed Su Youjin for a few steps.
Su Youjin smiled and waved.
"You don't have to see us off."
"I'll leave Auntie Zhou in your care."
"Okay."
The two children nodded emphatically, like little grown-ups.
"We'll take good care
