Clear the area tonight.

Evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the clouds on the horizon a magnificent orange-red. Through the giant floor-to-ceiling window of Ward V001, it cast a warm halo over the entire room.

Compared to the oppressive atmosphere in Qin Bing's ward...

Li Wei's room was even more lively than the sunset glow outside.

A dozen Sparrows, Magpies, and even two brightly feathered Parrots were chirping and flying around the ward, not fearing humans at all.

Some perched on the windowsill to preen their feathers, some landed on expensive green plants to peck curiously at the leaves, and a few bold ones simply landed on Li Wei's headboard.

"Wow! Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! Look at this one! Its feathers are so beautiful!"

Yang Weiwei knelt on the carpet, looking up with her pure and lovely face. She pointed excitedly at a Parrot perched near Li Wei's pillow, her bright eyes sparkling with a child's pure joy.

Li Wei leaned halfway against the bed, a gentle smile on his face.

He reached out, and the Parrot obediently hopped into his palm, using its tiny head to affectionately rub against his finger.

He picked up a small biscuit from the fruit plate on the nightstand, crumbled it, and placed it in his palm.

The surrounding Sparrows immediately fluttered their wings and flew over, scrambling to peck at the food.

"Eat slowly, there's enough for everyone."

Li Wei's voice was very soft, as if he were speaking to these little creatures.

But in his mind, another silent conversation was proceeding rapidly.

"Is that woman still at the door?"

His intent was precisely transmitted through "Myriad Spirits Empathy" to a Sparrow on the windowsill responsible for keeping watch.

"She's there, she's there!"

The Sparrow's sharp voice, tinged with a hint of seeking credit, rang out in his mind.

"The woman in black, and the woman who cried, are both sitting on the chairs in the hallway, motionless like two stones!"

"What about inside the room?"

"Inside... the woman inside is so scary!"

Another Sparrow, which had just flown back from outside Qin Bing's ward window, spoke with a trace of fear in its voice.

"She keeps sweating and hitting that big sandbag, and her mouth makes... um... very unpleasant sounds. It makes my feathers stand on end!"

Li Wei's eyes darkened imperceptibly.

Everything was within his expectations.

Qin Bing was using her last bit of willpower to fight against her body's instinct.

Meanwhile, Yan Ruyu and Qin Xue were powerless, only able to remain as bystanders.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open.

Yang Yun walked in carrying a multi-layered insulated lunch box.

She had changed into casual home clothes today, appearing less like a sharp professional and more like a gentle wife.

When she saw the room full of flying birds, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.

Over the past few days, she had become accustomed to such strange sights.

This man's ward had practically become a zoo.

The day before yesterday it was several stray cats, and yesterday a Golden Retriever appeared from out of nowhere.

Today was even more ridiculous, attracting a whole flock of birds.

She had also asked Li Wei what was going on.

The man had simply pinched her chin and told her with an arrogant face.

"Maybe it's because I'm too handsome; even the birds find me celestial and can't help but want to get close."

Yang Yun had given him a charmingly resentful roll of her eyes at the time.

"Time to eat!"

Yang Yun placed the lunch box on the table, and Yang Weiwei immediately approached like a little glutton to help set out the bowls and chopsticks.

A sumptuous meal of four dishes and one soup filled the air with fragrance.

Yang Yun served a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Li Wei. While blowing on the steam for him, she seemingly casually mentioned,

"When I came up just now, I heard from the people at the Nurse station that Officer Qin's side... seems to be in a bad situation."

"Oh?"

Li Wei took a sip of soup, pretending to hear it for the first time.

"They say since this morning, she has locked herself in the ward and won't see anyone.

Qin Xue has been guarding the door all day, her eyes swollen from crying.

That Officer Yan is also guarding there, her expression frighteningly grim."

Yang Yun sighed, a trace of sympathy showing in her beautiful eyes.

"Sigh, it's really pitiful. If it weren't for the plainclothes officers stopping me, I would really want to go over and comfort Qin Xue."

Li Wei put down the soup bowl, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and a profound smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, Yun Yun."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strange certainty.

"After tonight, everything will be fine."

Yang Yun's hand holding the chopsticks paused.

She looked up at Li Wei, her clever peach-blossom eyes flashing with a hint of inquiry.

She could hear the hidden meaning in his words.

But before she could ask further—

"Ah! Brother-in-law, look! It can talk!"

Yang Weiwei suddenly let out an exclamation of surprise.

She was holding a piece of green vegetable, teasing the Parrot perched on Li Wei's headboard.

The Parrot actually mimicked her and called out in a childish voice.

"Brother-in-law!"

"You little girl, stop playing and eat quickly!"

Interrupted, Yang Yun could only glare at her sister and put a piece of rib into her bowl.

When she looked back at Li Wei, she found he had already lowered his head to start eating, showing no intention of continuing the previous topic.

Yang Yun could only temporarily suppress the doubts in her heart.

A warm dinner ended amidst the frolicking of Yang Weiwei and the birds.

Yang Yun briskly cleared the dishes and glanced at the wall clock; it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

She walked to the bedside, tucked the corners of the blanket for Li Wei, and said softly,

"Alright, it's getting late. You should rest first. I'll come back to accompany you after I finish my shower."

However, Li Wei grabbed her hand.

"Wait a moment."

Both Yang Yun and Yang Weiwei, who was reluctantly saying goodbye to the Parrot, looked at him in confusion.

Li Wei cleared his throat, a mock-serious expression on his face.

"Ahem... Next, I need to start conserving my energy and building up my strength."

"Conserving energy?"

Yang Weiwei blinked. "Brother-in-law, aren't your injuries healed?"

"This injury is not that injury."

Li Wei spoke nonsense with a straight face.

"My sect has a unique internal cultivation technique called the 'Turtle Breathing Art,' which is best at repairing internal organs and meridians.

However, when practicing this technique, one needs absolute silence and undivided attention, without any external interference."

As he spoke, he sighed with great affectation, his gaze scanning back and forth between Yang Yun's mature, graceful curves and Yang Weiwei's youthful, energetic figure.

"But with you two great beauties here, one breathing like orchids and the other full of life and charm, your scents are almost hooking my soul away.

With my blood surging and my mind wandering like a restless monkey, how can I enter meditation?

How can I heal my injuries?"

"So..."

He waved his hand, making a pained expression.

"For the sake of my early recovery, my two Female Bodhisattvas, please move to the next room and let this 'seriously injured patient' have a quiet night to himself."

These words were spoken with both logic and a bit of rogue-like teasing.

Yang Weiwei was stunned, her small face turning slightly red, only half-understanding.

Yang Yun, however, understood his meaning instantly and gave him a knowing look.

This bastard!

If he wanted to do something else, he should have just said so, instead of calling them 'vixens' in such a roundabout way!
