Wu Qi walked into the room again, lay on the bed, and silently thought to himself: Could it be that we are really destined not to be together?
Wu Qi did not forget Shen Jingyi who was traveling with Ning Wan, but thinking of the scene at the dinner table just now where Ning Wan wanted to speak but didn't dare to, Wu Qi finally learned to lie to himself.
Perhaps, she was simply afraid of him and had no choice but to go with him.
At this time, in Ning Wan's room, Ning Wan looked at the candle that she had blown out, and thought of Xiao Qi's words. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke: "Xiao Qi, do you think Wu Qi has seen Shen Jingyi?"
[Host, are you worried about the male protagonist's safety?]
Xiao Qi sensed that Ning Wan's mood seemed a little off at this moment, but its mind-reading function seemed to have failed at this moment. No matter how hard it tried, it could not read its host's mind, so it could only ask by guessing.
Ning Wan glanced at the wall connecting to the next door and said with more certainty, "Well, I guess so. After all, we agreed to protect him."
She believed in the ingenuity of fate, but she also suspected that Wu Qi's appearance here was not just to go to the border.
Xiao Qi looked at the dazed Ning Wan, a little worried that her host might get too immersed in the role and really fall in love with Chen Jingyi.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Qi finally told the truth: "Xiao Qi can't guarantee it."
[However, Chen Jingyi is the male lead, so he will have the male lead's aura.] Xiao Qi spoke again, still in an extremely calm tone, but it made Ning Wan feel at ease.
"What about Wu Qi?"
Ning Wan spoke again.
Xiao Qi clearly felt that today's host was a little sentimental and extremely contradictory.
[…Xiao Qi didn’t know.] If Wu Qi really intended to attack the male protagonist, the result of failure would most likely be death given the male protagonist’s personality.
Just looking at the slightly melancholy Ning Wan, Xiao Qi did not tell the truth.
"Okay." Ning Wan's tone suddenly changed. She groaned and interrupted the conversation with Xiao Qi again.
If it were before, Xiao Qi would definitely go diving, but now, [Host, Xiao Qi will always stand by your side, so if you have any concerns, you can tell Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi will do everything in his power to help you!]
For a long time, Ning Wan didn't say anything, just lying on the bed, as if she didn't hear Xiao Qi's words.
Xiao Qi also fell silent.
"Yeah." After a long while, Ning Wan finally spoke, but still did not tell Xiao Qi what she was worried about. Xiao Qi gave up trying to read Ning Wan's mind, and after getting Ning Wan's response, he dived again.
Ning Wan was undeniably moved by Xiao Qi's words, but she had her reasons for not telling Xiao Qi.
Ordinary people cannot avoid the fear of death. On the day when she received her year-end bonus, when she was attracted by the electricity, Ning Wan's mind was clearly filled with regret, but regret was of no use.
She even prayed that she could be discovered earlier, so that there might be a chance of rescue, but unfortunately no miracle happened.
Although she knew that she was carrying out a mission and that after her death Xiao Qi would teleport her to another world to continue, the helpless feeling of having her vitality draining from her body still frightened her no matter how hard she tried to pretend to be calm.
As Ning Wan thought about it, her consciousness began to become confused again.
She knew clearly that this was the poison.
Suddenly, Ning Wan raised his left hand and bit the tiger's mouth.
The stinging sensation only kept Ning Wan awake for less than three seconds. She wanted to bite harder, intending to use the pain to awaken her numb nerves.
Unfortunately, it's still in vain.
She took her hand away and could clearly feel the teeth marks at the base of her thumb. The skin had broken and there was even a slight, persistent pain.
But none of these could stop Ning Wan from feeling sleepy.
Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Ning Wan sighed softly, let herself go, closed her eyes, and allowed herself to be eroded by the sleepiness.
midnight.
Ning Wan's door was gently pushed open by Shen Jingyi.
He walked in and closed the door quietly.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Jingyi lit a small candle without any hesitation.
The originally dark room suddenly became bright.
After lighting the candle, Shen Jingyi subconsciously glanced in the direction of Ning Wan, then slowly approached with the candle until he reached the bedside.
The slightly yellow candlelight did not cause Ning Wan any discomfort, and she didn't even frown.
I clearly didn't cough up blood today, so why do the symptoms seem more severe?
Shen Jingyi stood by the bed and watched. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly moved the candle in his hand towards Ning Wan's eyes. Before the wax dripped, he moved the candle aside.
Seeing that Ning Wan's eyebrows did not react at all, he sat down on the edge of the bed again.
Even if you were in a deep sleep, this shouldn't be your reaction.
Shen Jingyi thought about it and took out Ning Wan's left hand from the quilt. Just as he was about to put his hand on it to check Ning Wan's pulse, he keenly discovered the tooth mark on the skin at the base of the thumb.
Shen Jingyi subconsciously raised his head and looked at Ning Wan's sleeping face.
Will she feel that I was deliberately giving her fake medicine?
Even though she found out that the antidote was useless, she still happily swallowed it and cooperated with him obediently...
He took out a box of ointment, put some on his index finger, and carefully rubbed it in circles.
Shen Jingyi stopped after applying a little, fearing that he would hurt Ning Wan, but Ning Wan was like a wooden man at this time, not moving at all.
After applying the medicine, Shen Jingyi held Ning Wan's hand firmly in his palm, feeling only a little warmth. His other hand couldn't help but touch Ning Wan's eyebrows.
My luck is really bad. Why did I choose such a poisoned body?
The corners of Shen Jingyi's eyes were red, and although he seemed to be joking, he was actually full of bitterness.
Shen Jingyi had already placed the candle at the foot of the bed, and drops of wax began to condense on the ground. It was not until the candle was half burned that Shen Jingyi suddenly came to his senses.
With the help of her internal energy, Ning Wan's quilt quickly became warm.
However, Ning Wan's posture did not change at all. She was still lying quietly as before, and her face did not show a more comfortable expression as before.
Shen Jingyi loosened his hand and covered it with the quilt.
He then set his eyes on the candle beside him. The weak candle flame was still burning diligently, unaware that it was about to burn out. Then he reached out and picked it up.
Probably because the movement was too fast, a drop of wax dripped directly onto Shen Jingyi's tiger's mouth.
The scalding wax made Shen Jingyi's fingers tremble. He subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked at the small circle at the base of his thumb. He ignored it and just tilted the candle a little.
Watching the candle in his hand getting shorter and shorter, but the candlelight still did not change at all, however, the next moment, Shen Jingyi blew out the candle in his hand.
Looking at the candle in front of him that was only half a finger long, Shen Jingyi suddenly chuckled: Even if there was only half a finger left, he would find a way to light it up!
