Xu Si finally got a chance to breathe.

Her heart pounded, her lips quivered, and her entire body went rigid, terrified that her frantic actions had fatally injured his heart. She immediately got up, touched his hand, and her voice trembled as she called out, "Pei Zhen? Pei Zhen?"
Hearing her panic-stricken voice, the man still managed to weakly lift one hand and gently pat her face.
"Don’t panic..." he whispered soundlessly, his tone ethereal and faint. "The drug is taking effect. I’m resilient; I won’t die that easily."
