Si Jin was disoriented and sweating profusely.

He felt like a helpless fish, caught in the chef's hands, left to be fried, cooked, and boiled at will.

Unfortunately, the "chef" was both gentle and wicked.

Slowly tormenting, gradually invading, it lingers, unwilling to give the fish a quick death.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Jin's head began to feel dizzy.

He gripped the pillow tightly with both hands.

Tears fell drop by drop.

… …

In a daze, a warm current flowed through me.

Si Jin knew this was the sign of the end.

At this moment, the consciousness of the deity finally reached its extreme confusion.

I closed my eyes and let myself pass out.

Only then did Lin Yuan get up and carry the person to wash up.

To prevent Si Jin from getting a fever, they even used their divine power to clean him up until he was spotless.

The sheets and blankets have been changed.

Only then did they feel relieved enough to let the person go back.

Then, he reached out and placed two points of divine power on the boy's forehead to prevent him from having nightmares.

Only then did she happily lie back down next to Si Jin, hold his hand, close her eyes, and fall asleep.

… …

Si Jin slept soundly.

When I woke up again, it was still dark.

The boy opened his eyes and saw Lin Yuan bringing in several stacks of dishes and placing them on his bedside table.

Dishes that are sweet but not cloying.

Si Jin sat up, feeling a little stronger.

He asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

Lin Yuan replied in a calm and gentle tone: "It's only been one day. Jin Jin is too tired and needs to rest."

"You passed out on your own; I didn't hypnotize you."

As they spoke, she had already picked up the food and placed it next to him.

Si Jin lowered her head and ate her meal, pondering everything Lin Yuan had told her yesterday.

The more I ate, the more I felt that A Yuan had gotten the short end of the stick.

Moreover, they suffered heavy losses.

"You're doing this..."

He put down his chopsticks, paused for a moment before stopping her from speaking, and asked, "Did you know beforehand that I would fall in love with you too? If you didn't know, why did you...do so much for me..."

In Si Jin's view, all the sins and debts were caused by her own hand.

He doesn't deserve pity, nor does he need sympathy.

He's a man, and since the gods honor him as a marshal, he should accept it.

Therefore, he never spoke of the suffering he had endured in the past, not even to Yu Yan.

But Ayuan...

Before Si Jin could finish thinking, Lin Yuan spoke again: "Actually, feelings are inherently unfair. I like you, and I'm willing to do those things for you. As long as you feel a little better, I would gladly kneel before ten thousand gods for five hundred years and worship them every day."

"My efforts were never intended to be reciprocated, so whether or not you know I like you is irrelevant."

"Because I was the one who was willing to open my heart first, whether you accept it or not is your business, and what kind of return you give me is also your business..."

"So what kind of reward do you want?" Si Jin raised her eyes and looked at him seriously.

Unexpectedly, this glance startled the majestic and extraordinary young Heavenly Lord.

He immediately stood up nervously and walked to Si Jin's side to explain, "Jin Jin, feelings aren't a barter system. What I just said wasn't that I wanted to ask you for something..."

Honestly, it's all his fault for being so tongue-tied.

Jinjin's life is already very hard, and now she has to make him misunderstand these things.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, composed himself, and was about to explain again when Si Jin grabbed his hand.

The god's hand was a little cold, but it felt burning hot in Lin Yuan's heart.

While he was still in a daze, he heard Si Jin say, "But I love you, and I also want to give you something."

"I give you my love, my heart, my soul, my body, my faith, and even my life... um..."

Si Jin wanted to continue speaking, but Lin Yuan sealed her lips with his.

"Shh—" Lin Yuan whispered in Si Jin's ear, "I don't want your life, I want to stay with you for thousands of years and eternity."

"Okay." Si Jin let him hold her and readily agreed, "As long as you want it, as long as I have it."

"My marshal."

Lin Yuan murmured something and couldn't help but hug Si Jin tighter.

His body reacted to his sincere confession, and his heart pounded wildly.

He couldn't resist and knocked Si Jin down again, looking down at him.

"You really want to take my life, don't you...?"
