Does it taste good?” Yun Xinyan asked.
“It’s a delicious fruit, darling,” he replied.
Ye Tian made a gesture for Yun Xinyan to open her mouth, and she did as he indicated.
Ye Tian then directly placed the Companion Fruit into her mouth.
This was indeed the genuine Companion Fruit, the sole antidote to the toxin of the Seven Emotions Fruit.
After eating the Companion Fruit, Yun Xinyan’s complexion immediately turned rosy, and her spirits were instantly restored.
Ye Tian’s medical skills were exceptional.
With just one look, he knew the Companion Fruit was taking effect inside Yun Xinyan’s body, and at last, she was saved!
“Eh?
I don’t feel like there’s anything wrong with my body anymore!”
Yun Xinyan truly felt her body had recovered.
Could it be that the fruit Ye Tian fed her was some sort of miracle cure?
“Dear wife, if you feel a bit more comfortable, go ahead and sleep some more.
After you wake up, I guarantee you’ll feel refreshed!”
Ye Tian said with a smile, but Yun Xinyan waved her hand, “I have slept so long already; how can I sleep now?
I feel like my body has mostly recovered.
I want to take a bath!”
With that, Yun Xinyan got up from the bed and went to the bathroom by herself.
During this period, Ye Tian had been exhaustively searching the entire city for the Companion Fruit for Yun Xinyan; he was indeed worn out.
Now that Yun Xinyan had taken the Companion Fruit and the toxin from the Seven Emotions Fruit was eliminated, Ye Tian finally could ease his mind.
His tense nerves could finally relax a bit…
Therefore, Ye Tian decided to reward himself by using his X-ray vision ability to sneak a peek at Yun Xinyan bathing!
“Hehe!
Honey, I didn’t purposely come to sneak a peek at you bathing, but since the toxin in your body has just been cleared, I need to see if you have fully recovered?”
Yun Xinyan did not take long to bathe.
After rinsing herself clean, she came out of the bathroom.
“Ye Tian, what are you doing?”
Seeing Ye Tian’s strange expression, Yun Xinyan asked curiously.
“Oh, nothing…
just watched a movie…” Ye Tian said with a smile, “Wife, now that you’ve had enough sleep and are cleaned up, let’s go to bed and do something serious, like… maybe making twins!”
“…”
Sure enough, a leopard can’t change its spots; Ye Tian was still the same.
Yun Xinyan couldn’t be bothered with him, put on her pajamas, and went out to watch TV.
While Ye Tian persistently flirted with Yun Xinyan, Lin Tao, who was hiding in the secret basement, had already received the exact news!
“What!?
You’re saying Ye Tian has already found the Companion Fruit?”
Even though he had been hiding, Lin Tao was well-connected.
A lackey named Er Gouzi was captured by Wang Bingbing’s men in the basement of the Ice and Snow Bar, and from him, they retrieved a Companion Fruit, which Ye Tian then acquired!
—Lin Tao had just learned all this from his subordinates.
“Yes,” said the subordinate who came to report, nodding.
“Damn it!”
Lin Tao slammed his fist on the table, then glanced at the Companion Fruit in his hand, which Li Chengfei had given him to win his favor.
Previously, Lin Tao hadn’t known much about the Seven Emotions Fruit or the Companion Fruit, but after Li Chengfei had explained them to him, he was slightly more knowledgeable.
Li Chengfei told Lin Tao that the Seven Emotions Fruit grew in remote forests and was highly poisonous.
The Seven Emotions Fruit could bear many fruits at once, and each one contained deadly toxins.
The only antidote for the Seven Emotions Fruit’s poison was the Companion Fruit.
The Companion Fruit grew less than ten meters from the Seven Emotions Fruit, and no matter how many fruits the Seven Emotions Fruit bore, there was only ever one Companion Fruit; that’s why it was so rare.
“Why are there two Companion Fruits?
Could it be from another Seven Emotions Fruit tree?”
Lin Tao felt somewhat puzzled because this did not quite match what Li Chengfei had told him.
However, Lin Tao did not dwell on it any longer.
Now that he had an extra Companion Fruit in his possession, it would not be useless.
Thus, he carefully stored the Companion Fruit that Li Chengfei had given him…
At this moment, inside Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan’s villa, Ye Tian had already cajoled Yun Xinyan into bed with his persistent coaxing, and the two were entwined in the sheets.
Now, Yun Xinyan’s body had completely recovered, so, while entwined with Ye Tian, her condition was excellent!
However, for Ye Tian, Yun Xinyan was more enticing when she was half-delirious and half-awake from poisoning last time because, at that time, Yun Xinyan rarely exhibited a fox-like charming demeanor, which Ye Tian still found unforgettable.
If only the current Yun Xinyan could be like before.
Unfortunately, the usual Yun Xinyan was always very strict, whether it was toward herself or toward Ye Tian…
After their entanglement, Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan lay in bed to rest.
“Ye Tian, there’s something you must tell me the truth about!” Yun Xinyan suddenly said.
“What is it?” Ye Tian was taken aback, but he also vaguely guessed what Yun Xinyan wanted to ask.
“Lately, I’ve been feeling that something is not quite right with me.
First of all, at the company, everyone looked at me strangely, as if I had gone mad, but I did not know what had happened to me…
Later, I realized that there was something wrong with my body when I actually fainted during a meeting, and then I even vomited blood, until you gave me that dark red fruit, and I finally reverted to my normal state.
I don’t believe this is a mere pneumonia, Ye Tian, tell me, what exactly happened to me?”
Yun Xinyan was eager to know the answer.
At this moment, Ye Tian did not want to hide it from her anymore, especially since the poison from the Seven Emotions Fruit had already been expelled from Yun Xinyan’s body.
Telling her the truth wouldn’t affect her mood anymore.
So, Ye Tian laid it all out for Yun Xinyan!
“Wife, actually, you were not sick but poisoned!”
“Poisoned?”
Yun Xinyan was shocked to learn she had been poisoned, but when had she been poisoned?
What kind of poison had it been?
“Wife, actually, the last time we went camping in the deep mountains outside Jiangcheng, that’s when you were poisoned.
Do you remember casually picking a red fruit by the roadside and eating it?”
Ye Tian’s words made Yun Xinyan suddenly realize.
“So, that fruit was poisonous?”
Yun Xinyan was somewhat regretful.
If only she had known, she would not have been so careless and gotten poisoned, almost losing her life in the process.
“Yes, that fruit is called the Seven Emotions Fruit, a highly toxic fruit!” Ye Tian said with a wry smile, “The poison of the Seven Emotions Fruit is something even I, who prides myself on my medical skills, cannot cure.
Anyone who accidentally eats a Seven Emotions Fruit will turn into a vegetative state within seven days!
To cure the poison of the Seven Emotions Fruit, one needs a Companion Fruit!
And the Companion Fruit tree grows right next to the Seven Emotions Fruit tree.
They complement and depend on each other.
However, strangely enough, while many Seven Emotions Fruits grow on its tree, the Companion Fruit tree beside it bears only one fruit, which is why Companion Fruits are rare.
It also took me a great deal of effort to find one!”
“I see…” Yun Xinyan sighed.
She was not as shocked by the poison she had suffered as she was intrigued by the Seven Emotions Fruit and Companion Fruit, “Born together, always growing together, the name ‘Companion Fruit’ does sound quite romantic!
But isn’t it too lonely for such a large Companion Fruit tree to bear only one fruit?”
Yun Xinyan’s words slightly surprised Ye Tian.
Indeed, the thought processes of men and women are not on the same dimension; how could Yun Xinyan ask such an odd question?
“It’s just the law of nature, nothing strange about it!
Wife, you must be more careful in the future, and not accidentally eat any dangerous foods.
It’s fine to be a food lover, but don’t gamble with your life!”
Ye Tian earnestly advised, and Yun Xinyan nodded in embarrassment.
“I understand…”
“Actually, since you asked this, it reminded me,” Ye Tian seemed to recall something else, and added, “Actually, not all Companion Fruit trees bear only one fruit.
Among the Seven Emotions Fruits, there is a very rare type called the Bipolar Seven Emotions Fruit.
The Companion Fruit tree growing beside such a Seven Emotions Fruit bears two fruits.
If poisoned by a Bipolar Seven Emotions Fruit, one must eat two Companion Fruits to cure the poison.
However, this type of Bipolar Seven Emotions Fruit has only a one in a million chance of occurring, extremely rare, nearly impossible to encounter!”
“Oh.”
Yun Xinyan responded quietly, then said no more.
In any case, the poison in her body had been completely cleared, so now she could go back to work normally at the company.
The thought made Yun Xinyan very happy.
