Because she was worried about Cai Ruoyang, after waiting for a month, Ziteng could no longer hold back. She decided to go down the mountain to find Cai Ruoyang, afraid that he had been locked up by his parents.
However, before Ziteng could leave the courtyard, Cai Ruoyang returned. But the situation was extremely dire; his lips were pale blue, looking as if he was about to die.
Cai Ruoyang told Ziteng that after he returned home, his parents refused to let him be with Ziteng and locked him up. He then threatened them with suicide and took poison, which forced his parents to let him return to Ziteng.
Ziteng was not skilled in medicine, but she could sense that Cai Ruoyang's breath was very weak, almost non-existent, as if he were indeed dying, which made Ziteng cry in panic.
