Time flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
At first, Dou Dou and Yaya were very worried about Luo Xiu, but their fears were assuaged after Luo Ying awoke and assured them he would be fine. With their minds at ease, the two young girls became carefree once more.
Luo Xiu's body remained in a constant state of combustion, like a burning piece of coal. His life force blazed like an undying flame. The two carefree girls even started using him as a convenient stove to roast meat and cook their meals.
「That day.」
Luo Ying, Dou Dou, and Yaya sat on a broken wall not far from Luo Xiu, playing poker and betting with peanuts, just as they always did.
While the three were giggling and playing, the flames enveloping Luo Xiu's body suddenly vanished.
The three of them dropped their cards and hurried over to check on him. However, before they could get close, a terrifying heatwave blasted them back.
