Qiao Mulin, lying nearby, was already feeling much better. When he heard Meng Yanjing's delighted voice, he quickly turned his head and saw that Mr. Chen had woken up. He couldn't help but say happily, "That's great, Mr. Chen! You're awake."
Mr. Chen's head was still a bit groggy, but he was aware that he had been unconscious after developing a high fever from the bite. 'It must have been my students taking care of me,' he thought. He nodded and said, "I'm awake. Thank you for all your hard work."
Qiao Mulin quickly said, "Mr. Chen, Zhang Hua and I also came down with fevers. Meng Yanjing was the one taking care of all of us. She even found a comrade who had medicine. Thanks to her medicine, we were able to recover."
"Oh, we really must thank that comrade," Mr. Chen said at once. "Where is she? We need to thank her properly."
