"Groot, what's wrong?"
"Ah!"
Groot suddenly lifted its head, seeing Qin Shou had regained consciousness, and not only that, but he looked in good spirits. Its aggrieved little face immediately blossomed into a radiant smile.
"Mmm mmm..."
It threw itself into Qin Shou's arms, rubbing its little face against him hard and holding him tightly, refusing to let go.
Qin Shou laughed heartily, patting Groot's little head.
"Alright, alright, you're smearing your eye gunk all over me."
"Mmm mmm."
Groot obediently nodded, lightly wiping the nonexistent eye gunk off Qin Shou's shoulder.
Then, it showed Qin Shou the empty potion bottle in its hand, but it lowered its head and didn't dare look at Qin Shou's expression, just like a school kid afraid of being punished by their glaring parent.
Qin Shou didn't mind the empty recovery potion. He rubbed Groot's little head and smiled warmly.
"You did great."
"Ah?"
