He had lost weight, no longer as dashing as before; he was thin and frail, which was quite heartbreaking.
"It's nothing..." She really didn't have anything important to say; she just wanted to ask if he was feeling better.
"Nothing!?" He seemed even angrier than if he'd heard something was wrong, glaring at her angrily. "Why are you calling me that if nothing's wrong!?"
An Xin was speechless.
"I just wanted to ask you, is your injury healed yet..."
"Whether I'm doing well or not, would you even care?" He took two steps back dejectedly, his voice filled with undisguised weariness, and then turned and walked away.
An Xin was suddenly stunned. Of course she cared about him!
"Hey..." Is there some misunderstanding?
He walked forward without looking back, but when he heard no sound behind him, his face grew increasingly grim. However, he couldn't help but turn around and look, only to see An Xin squatting on the spot with a pained expression. His expression changed.
"Xin'er!"
"My chest hurts...it feels like knives are twisting inside me, am I going to die..." An Xin clutched her chest, but a hint of cunning flickered in her eyes.
"With me here, who dares to let you die!?" he shouted angrily. "Until the antidote is found, no one can hurt Zhou Xiruo, much less..." hurt you.
A kiss arrived unexpectedly, landing on his lips, a cool, lingering touch like rain.
"I love you, and you love me too, okay?" Her soft voice made him freeze in place.

Many years later.
Invasion came from the southern border, invasion came from the northern desert, and invasion came from the western regions.
Gun Gun rushed in, panting, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Mother, there's a brother, a sister, and a fairy outside!"
An Xin's lips twitched. She put down her book and said seriously, "Gun Gun, you're just a child, but you can't talk nonsense. It's one thing for your older brothers and sisters, but what about gods?!" As she spoke, she pulled him outside, scolding him as they walked, "How did your father teach you? Gods are just something that only exists in the world of ghosts..."
The next words stuck in my throat.
Gun Gun's father stood casually in the courtyard, fanning himself.
The pear blossoms are in full bloom, their petals falling in profusion.
He turned and smiled, his eyes sparkling like brilliance, and said with a beaming smile, "Well, today, a terrestrial immortal has indeed come to our residence..."
An Xin was stunned by Gun Gun's father's beauty. When she looked away and her eyes fell on the three figures on the roof, she suddenly widened her eyes.
After a long pause, she slapped Gun Gun across the face and said, "Nonsense! Which eye of yours saw a sister?! There are clearly two brothers, and one... a fairy..." (The End)

postscript
After the Left Chancellor fell from power, the government of Dayi changed hands.
The once all-powerful Right Chancellor now holds absolute power.
The emperor was incompetent and obsessed with women, and from then on he neglected state affairs.
The people of Dayi live in peace and prosperity, the country is rich and the people are strong, and they all praise the emperor's wisdom.
Later, they invaded from the south, the north, and the west.
The regime is on the verge of collapse. Can Dayi survive this calamity? To find out what happens next, use your imagination. Alas!
