Apart from the corners of her mouth being excessively pale and weak, there was no other sign of illness.

"fine."

Meng Chen's fingers were a little cold, but he held Chi Tang tightly.

Chi Tang blinked. Why did this handsome brother's situation seem so much like that he had accidentally eaten sturgeon mushrooms?

For some reason, Chi Tang was so certain.

Eating sturgeon mushrooms occasionally only results in mild toxins and is not a serious problem.

After consuming it for just over a month, abdominal pain and paleness at the corners of the mouth will begin. The terrifying aspect of sturgeon mushrooms is that once the pain starts, the toxin levels will only increase, even if you stop eating them!

Over three years, the poison penetrated deep into his lungs and internal organs.

Five years have passed, and there is still no cure.

Sturgeon mushrooms are extremely rare; let alone ordinary people, even most doctors probably don't know that such a thing exists.

So the handsome young man definitely didn't eat it by mistake!

When the young man died, it would be eight years after he ate the sturgeon mushroom. Who would suspect the sturgeon mushroom then?

This insight, this mindset, this venom!

This young man... seems to have quite a background.

Are you really not afraid of me?

By the time Chi Tang came to her senses, Meng Kuo had already disappeared.

Only Meng Chenyi remained, holding her as they sat outside the fence, murmuring to themselves.

Perhaps because there was no one else around, Meng Chenyi's eyes were no longer cold, but instead showed a hint of confusion, helplessness, and pain.

All that coldness was just armor he was putting on.

By keeping people at arm's length, you prevent them from harming you.

This was Meng Chenyi's most clumsy way of protecting himself.
