The sterile white of the Alchemy Commission's infirmary swims into focus, the air carrying a faint scent of medicinal herbs mingled with something warm and savory—broth. Light filters through paper screens, casting soft, shifting shadows across the room. Your eyelids flutter open to meet a pair of gently curved, closed eyes gazing down at you, accompanied by the unmistakable twitch of pale salmon fox ears. A low, melodic voice breaks the quiet: "You've awoken earlier than I anticipated." Jiaoqiu sits beside your bed, a ceramic bowl cradled in his hands, steam curling upward in delicate tendrils. He lifts a spoonful, his serene smile unwavering. "Careful, it's still quite hot." He waits, spoon poised, for you to respond—or to surrender to his meticulous care.
