Yun Zhi Yue feigned tension as she grabbed Nie Zhui's tie, her voice sweet and alluring, "This is the street, there are so many people around. You should let go!"
Nie Zhui tightened his grip on her neck, forcing her to look up at him, his gaze fixed on her red lips without saying a word. The meaning was clear, but Yun Zhi Yue truly did not want to kiss him; she was afraid that if she pretended too much, she would break character!
Heat rushed to her face, spreading to her ears as she whispered, "Can we not...?"
In those eyes filled with possessiveness, she seemed to see a refusal. So, Yun Zhi Yue took the initiative to rise on her tiptoes and pecked him on the jaw. Tears welled in her eyes as she pleaded, "Don't push me."
Seeing this, Nie Zhui pulled her into his embrace to comfort her. "It was my mistake; I shouldn't have rushed you."
Yun Zhi Yue choked back a sob and said, "Someone came to kill me last night. My brother couldn't catch them. Feng Rujiao is ruthless; you could get me killed."
Holding Yun Zhi Yue close, Nie Zhui's eyes darkened as he gently patted her back. "I will protect you; trust me."
Trust you? That’s ridiculous! If she truly trusted him, she might end up like Xian Gu did back in the day. But right now, she indeed needed the Nie family to weigh in on Feng Rujiao; the act still had to go on.
She murmured an agreement and chose not to mention how she knew about Yun Shijiu's situation. Nie Zhui wouldn’t ask either. He only ever believed in himself; no matter what others said or did, he always made his own judgments.
Some things were better left unsaid; in this dimension, she would play mute and trust that Feng Rujiao would help her stage this drama well.
While they pretended to be affectionate over here, Yue Shi was busy on the other side. After dropping off her little brother at the police station and returning home in high spirits, she went upstairs to wake up the person sprawled across her bed. It was already afternoon; did this person plan to sleep until she got back?
Nie Xi groggily felt someone nudging him awake. As he opened his eyes just a crack, he saw Yun Yue Shi wielding a knife over him that was more than a meter long.
His sleepiness vanished instantly. "I won’t last long if you keep this up; don’t get your hands dirty or you'll stain your sister's bed."
Yun Yue Shi scoffed. "If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t even see it coming. Get up; I’ll treat you and guarantee you'll live longer than your father."
Nie Xi got up and headed to the bathroom to wash up without changing clothes, still wearing his pajamas as he followed Yue Shi downstairs.
Once seated at the dining table, he watched as she took a glass cup and made a cut on her wrist with the large knife, blood flowing out with a strange floral scent.
Nie Xi thought suddenly that he didn’t want to live in this house anymore. Wouldn’t this amount of blood lead to death?
Would Yun Zhi Yue misunderstand and think he had killed her brother?
A full cup of blood collected before his eyes as he witnessed green tendrils intertwining at the wound on Yun Yue Shi's wrist before it quickly healed itself.
Blood was pushed in front of him, and Yue Shi's expression was not good as he said, "This Boundary Grass has no medicinal properties to save you. I’m telling you, this research is just a sham.
However, your identity is special, so bending the rules a bit isn’t a big deal. We can’t let you recover too quickly; otherwise, it will attract attention. From now on, take it once a week, and you’ll gradually improve. Later, I’ll research some special medicine to make this situation somewhat reasonable."
The blood was warm and sweet. After finishing one cup, Nie Xi even poured some plain water to rinse his mouth and drank that too.
With a sweet taste lingering on his tongue, he looked at Yue Shi with an expression that suggested he wanted another cup. Yun Yue Shi discreetly picked up a large knife in his hand, feeling much more comfortable afterward.
