Gu Liyan was so startled that he pulled his hand back, and Gu Yixian fell on top of him. Coincidentally, the two ended up kissing each other on the lips!

"Ugh... Ugh..." Gu Yixian angrily clenched her little fists and pounded on Gu Liyan's chest, but after a few punches, Gu Liyan's body went limp from the pain and he fell into the pool. Gu Yixian also fell into the pool.

Gu Yixian got up in a fit of rage and cursed, "You filthy scoundrel, how dare you take advantage of me! I'll never trust you again! Bastard!"

As he spoke, he disregarded Gu Liyan's life or death and walked towards the shore.

Stepping ashore, Gu Yixian turned around angrily and pointed at Gu Liyan in the pool, cursing, "You stinking fox, you..."

But as she turned around, she froze on the spot. Gu Liyan had simply vanished before her eyes. "Hey! Gu Liyan! Where did you go?"

The only echo in the silent cave was her voice; then, an eerie silence descended...

Startled, Gu Yixian involuntarily stepped back, her heel hitting the oil lamp she had kicked over earlier. She immediately bent down, picked it up, and lit the lamp again.

Holding the oil lamp and looking into the pool, they saw that the water where Gu Liyan had fallen was now stained crimson with blood, the color spreading rapidly. Gu Liyan had already sunk to the bottom of the pool, his eyes closed…

"Gu Liyan!" Gu Yixian's expression changed drastically, and she jumped back into the pool in fright. "Gu Liyan!"

Gu Liyan opened his eyes groggily, and for a moment the light was dazzling. He seemed to see a familiar figure—Hua Baixian!

"Little, Little Bai..." Gu Liyan reached out to Gu Yixian, and what grasped his cold hand was a warm little hand. Feeling that warmth, Gu Liyan smiled slightly and closed his eyes.

Gu Yixian dragged Gu Liyan ashore, panting heavily. Before she could recover, she hurriedly checked Gu Liyan's injuries.

Gu Liyan's chest wound reopened, bleeding profusely. His body was cold and lifeless, and his face was deathly pale...

"Gu Liyan, Gu Liyan, don't fall asleep! Don't scare me... You little fox, don't die!"

Seeing Gu Liyan's lack of reaction, Gu Yixian screamed in terror, "Gu Liyan, Gu Liyan! I'm sorry, I was wrong, I didn't mean to, please don't die!"

Hearing Gu Yixian's words, Gu Liyan slowly opened his eyes and saw that familiar face looking at him with tears streaming down her face. Gu Liyan pulled Gu Yixian into his arms with a strong pull—

"Xian'er...you are so beautiful..."

Gu Yixian's face flushed instantly, and she breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Gu Liyan's strong and steady heartbeat. "It's good that you're alright..."

Gu Liyan smiled slightly and hugged Gu Yixian tightly in his arms...

Xian'er, I'm so cold...

Can you warm my heart...?
