Chapter 444

“Oh no, this is serious!” Just as Fang Yu finished speaking, Bai Ran, who was in his arms, suddenly trembled, and the temperature of her entire body rapidly rose. This instantly changed Fang Yu's expression, and he immediately realized that Bai Ran probably couldn't hold on any longer.

"Hmph, what a hassle. Since it's come to this, don't blame me." Fang Yu's expression shifted drastically. He took a deep breath, and with lightning speed, pressed two fingers firmly on Bai Ran's back.

*Pff!* A faint sound was heard the moment Fang Yu's fingers touched Bai Ran's back. Bai Ran's delicate body, which felt as if it were burning, trembled violently, and then, her body temperature rapidly dropped at an astonishing rate!

Not only that, but Bai Ran's complexion instantly regained its color. Fang Yu even clearly saw Bai Ran's eyelashes tremble slightly, showing signs of waking up!

"Mmm..." At that moment, a faint sound escaped Bai Ran's lips. Immediately after, her eyelashes fluttered faster, and then her eyelids slightly lifted, revealing her eyes.

*Whoosh!* When Bai Ran's eyes slightly opened, her gaze appeared somewhat vacant, but it quickly cleared.

Bai Ran struggled to sit up from Fang Yu's embrace, her face flushing with a hint of panic. After all, waking up directly in a stranger's arms would surely cause anyone to feel flustered.

Bai Ran struggled, trying to pull away from Fang Yu's arms, but suddenly discovered she had no strength at all; her entire body felt limp and she couldn't move.

"Heh heh, Miss Bai Ran, no need to rush. You've simply depleted your vital energy. You'll recover after some rest." Seeing Bai Ran struggling but utterly weak, Fang Yu wasted no words and gently placed her on the nearby bed.

"Fang Yu?" Hearing this, Bai Ran was startled, a flicker of surprise in her eyes. She never imagined that her rescuer would be Fang Yu!

"Yes, it's me." Fang Yu smiled slightly, his expression gentle.

Bai Ran immediately lowered her head, her face growing even redder. Her voice was barely a whisper as she said, "Fang Yu, thank you."

Fang Yu's eyes held a hint of amusement when he heard her. He felt no awkwardness, instead observing Bai Ran with interest.

Seeing Fang Yu staring at her so openly, Bai Ran's face flushed even deeper. She lowered her head, no longer daring to look up.

At this, Fang Yu couldn't help but chuckle. He asked softly, "Miss Bai Ran, how are you feeling now?"

Bai Ran paused, suddenly remembering that her body hadn't fully recovered yet.

Immediately, Bai Ran tried to circulate her vital energy, but to her shock, she found her body utterly empty, not a single trace of it remaining.

This instantly made Bai Ran's face drain of color, a flicker of terror in her eyes. This was truly terrible! If anyone discovered she had no vital energy left, wouldn't she be useless?

Seeing Bai Ran's drastic change in expression and the fear in her eyes, Fang Yu immediately knew what she was worried about.

"Heh heh, Miss Bai Ran, don't worry. You've simply depleted your vital energy. You'll recover after some rest."

Seeing Bai Ran still looking worried, Fang Yu immediately extended his hand and gently held her wrist, slowly injecting a thread of vital energy into her body.

In an instant, Bai Ran felt an extremely pure vital energy slowly flowing within her body, nourishing her.

Not only that, Bai Ran clearly saw her body rapidly recovering at an astonishing speed! This immediately brought a look of joy and surprise to her face.

"This... this is..." Bai Ran gazed at Fang Yu in shock, her eyes full of disbelief. She never imagined Fang Yu would be so powerful, capable of injecting vital energy into her body and making her recover so quickly!

"Heh heh, Miss Bai Ran, your vital energy has recovered. Now, you just need to rest well, and you'll be back to normal." Fang Yu smiled faintly and withdrew his hand.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ran immediately felt that her body had completely recovered, and was even purer and stronger than before!

Bai Ran's heart stirred with surprise. She looked at Fang Yu, her eyes filled with gratitude. She never imagined Fang Yu would be so formidable, able to restore her vital energy to such an extent!

"Fang Yu, thank you!" Bai Ran said sincerely.

Fang Yu simply smiled faintly in response, saying nothing.

Seeing Fang Yu remain silent, Bai Ran felt even more grateful. She immediately struggled, wanting to get up from the bed.

Seeing this, Fang Yu quickly stepped forward, extended a hand, and helped Bai Ran up.

Bai Ran used Fang Yu's hand to get off the bed, her face flushing, a hint of fluster in her expression.

"Miss Bai Ran, how are you feeling now?" Seeing Bai Ran's complexion was rosy and her spirits much recovered, Fang Yu asked with concern.

Bai Ran paused, then remembered that her body seemed to have fully recovered.

"I... I feel much better, thank you, Fang Yu." Bai Ran said, her head lowered, her voice barely audible.

Fang Yu couldn't help but smile. He said softly, "Miss Bai Ran, you're welcome. Since you've recovered, I'll be leaving now."

Bai Ran was startled upon hearing this. She suddenly looked up at Fang Yu, a flicker of reluctance in her eyes.

"Fang Yu, are... are you leaving?" Bai Ran asked, her voice tinged with panic.

Fang Yu smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I still have some matters to attend to, so I can't stay here long."

Hearing this, Bai Ran immediately lowered her head, her expression somewhat disheartened.

Seeing her reaction, Fang Yu sighed inwardly but said nothing.

Bai Ran looked up at Fang Yu, her eyes full of reluctance, but she said nothing.

Seeing this, Fang Yu sighed even deeper inwardly but still said nothing. He simply turned, preparing to leave.

"Fang Yu!" Just then, Bai Ran suddenly spoke, calling out to him.

Hearing her, Fang Yu paused and turned to look at Bai Ran.

Bai Ran looked at Fang Yu, her eyes filled with reluctance, but she said nothing, only lowering her head tightly.

Seeing this, Fang Yu sighed even deeper inwardly but said nothing. He turned again, preparing to leave.

"Fang Yu!" Bai Ran spoke again, her voice with a hint of a sob.

Hearing her, Fang Yu paused and turned to look at Bai Ran.

Bai Ran suddenly lifted her head, her eyes filled with tears. She looked at Fang Yu and said with a choked voice, "Fang Yu, can... can you..."

Bai Ran couldn't continue. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Fang Yu's heart softened. He reached out and gently pulled Bai Ran into his embrace.

Feeling Fang Yu's embrace, Bai Ran's tears flowed faster. She clung tightly to him and, with a choked voice, said, "Fang Yu, can... can I come with you?"

Bai Ran couldn't say anymore. She just held Fang Yu tightly, burying her head deep in his chest.
