Shen Ping'an ultimately had a weak constitution, and even after taking Doctor Zeng's medicine, he still fell ill the next day.
Yan Qing was not the stingy landlord Zhou Bapi, so upon learning that Shen Ping'an had fallen ill, he went to check on him. Pale-faced and looking as translucent as a ghost, Shen Ping'an was wrapped in a blanket and lying in bed. When he saw Yan Qing, his gaze was both feeble and apologetic, "Brother Yan, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
Yan Qing didn't mind, "If you're sick, just take medicine and rest. Being ill is because of your poor constitution; it's your own business. Why would it cause me any trouble? I'm not the one taking care of you."
