Linen is not that translucent, and the morning sunlight that shines in is not as bright as before, but dim and hazy.

Pei Yuan woke up earlier than Bao Ning, pinched his nose with his fingers, and slowly opened his eyes.

His mind was not very clear, and when he saw the mess in the house, he frowned for a moment, and then saw Bao Ning sleeping against the wall, and the memory of yesterday was awakened.

Pei Yuan's eyebrows twitched, and murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.

What happened yesterday was really an accident. If it were normal, he would not let others succeed easily. But for some reason yesterday, perhaps because of the rainy weather, he felt that the toxins in his body seemed to have taken effect. In the past, it was the pain in his left leg, but because the poison had spread, his whole body seemed to be a little painful, and the dull pain was hidden under the fascia, jumping and throbbing.

The pain was not so severe that he could not bear it, but he was still distracted. With the sound of rain, he did not notice someone outside the window.

Later, he smelled a faint fragrance and woke up suddenly. He had no weapon with him, so he crushed the teacup and hit the man. The man was hit and ran away.

But he found out too late. The fragrance was so strong that he felt he could no longer control himself, so he drove Bao Ning away. At that time, he did not think of aphrodisiac, but he clearly felt that his emotions were out of control.

He knew very well what kind of person he was. If he really went crazy, ten Bao Nings would not be able to stop him.

He did not want to hurt her, and he did not want her to see his ugliness.

But what happened later...

Pei Yuan turned his head and looked at Bao Ning.

She looked tired and slept unsteadily. She was sitting with her head against her neck, crooked, and very uncomfortable. Maybe because of the cold, her hands were folded in front of her stomach and held in her sleeves. The thin quilt only covered her knees. She curled up pitifully.

Pei Yuan's eyes fell on her hands. Her hands were slender and white, and her finger bones were fragile. He didn't dare to press hard, as if they would break if touched.

Pei Yuan's heart softened, and he reached under the quilt to touch her feet. They were a little cold.

He moved closer, put one hand on Baoning's lower back, and with the other hand pulled her knees, and gently held her in his arms.

Pei Yuan blocked Baoning's back with his arm, and with the other hand held her feet, rubbing them to warm them.

Baoning woke up. She felt her eyelids were heavy and she couldn't open them. Her whole body was in pain, especially her neck, which was caused by a stiff neck.

She didn't dare to move, but felt uncomfortable. She stretched out her hand and pounded it, breathing in and out with a hiss. Someone said in her ear: "Why don't you lie down properly? Why are you sitting there and sleeping? It hurts, right?"

The next moment, her shoulders were taken over, and a pair of strong hands massaged her shoulders and neck, whispering: "I'll press harder, can you bear it?"

Baoning was completely awake.

Pei Yuan's face was right in front of her, and a pair of narrow eyes stared at her, with clear eyes and a hint of smile. Not sure if it was an illusion, Baoning felt that Pei Yuan was much softer today than before.

"I'm asking you a question." Pei Yuan used a little more force with his thumb, Baoning cried out, stretched out her hand to protect her neck, and tears came out in pain.

She realized the awkwardness of her posture. Curled up in Pei Yuan's arm, she was like a bent shrimp. No wonder she felt cold just now, but now she was hot again.

Baoning came to her senses and hurried to crawl out. Pei Yuan pinched her ankle with two fingers to prevent her from moving: "Where are you going?"

Baoning didn't know what to say to him. She felt embarrassed, but Pei Yuan acted as if nothing had happened, with a calm face.

He dragged Baoning back by her ankle and said, "Don't struggle. Your bones are fragile. Don't blame me if you break them." Baoning

was eager to get away from the contact and didn't listen to him. The tighter Pei Yuan's hands were, the more panicked she felt. The memories of last night came flooding back. Baoning felt extremely embarrassed. Without thinking, she raised her leg and kicked him.

Pei Yuan had a wound on his palm. When she touched him, he gasped. He loosened his grip a little, and Bao Ning slipped out like a loach. She looked frightened, sitting cross-legged opposite him, hugging her calves tightly, fearing that he would snatch her again.

Pei Yuan knew that he had scared her yesterday.

Thinking of this, he softened his tone and waved to her: "Come sit in front of me, I will massage your neck. If you don't rub it, it will hurt for three or four days."

Bao Ning immediately responded: "It doesn't hurt!" She dodged her eyes, not looking at Pei Yuan's eyes, and wanted to put on her shoes and go out.

The ground was messy. She forgot where she threw her shoes last night. She couldn't find them for a while, so Bao Ning simply gave up looking for them. She stepped on the ground barefoot and was about to go out.

"There are porcelain pieces, what if they prick your feet?" Pei Yuan frowned and shouted, "Come back!"

Bao Ning was startled by his shout. She stood there motionless.

Pei Yuan knew that his tone was too harsh. He sighed, moved to the edge of the kang, grabbed Bao Ning's hand, pulled her to sit beside him, and asked softly, "Why are you always running, huh?"

He gently stroked Bao Ning's soft palm and comforted her, "I won't hurt you."

Bao Ning raised her eyes and scanned the messy and broken furnishings in the room. The window that he pulled down was thrown on the ground, and there was a big hole in the solid mahogany frame at the door.

Bao Ning shuddered.

When she just woke up, all she could think about was the shame and embarrassment she felt when she did that for Pei Yuan yesterday. She felt it was private and embarrassing. Now she felt a little more afraid. She remembered

how Pei Yuan looked yesterday, with a storm in his pupils, as if he wanted to tear her apart. He pulled her in from the window, so easily, as if he was carrying a chick.

Bao Ning finally realized that Pei Yuan was a man, strong and aggressive.

He was no longer the sickly man lying listlessly on the bed when they first met. He let her do whatever she wanted, and he would eat whatever she said and wear whatever she wanted.

The fact should be that she let him do whatever he wanted.

Bao Ning couldn't help but think wildly that what happened yesterday was an accident, but who could guarantee that there would not be such an accident in the future. Pei Yuan restrained himself this time, but what if there is a next time? Baoning couldn't tell whether he would hurt her or not. He was a temperamental person, feeling good one moment and good another moment.

He treated her with a smile when he was happy, but who knew what would happen if he was unhappy.

Pei Yuan didn't give her enough sense of security.

Just like now, Pei Yuan was sitting in front of her, and Baoning couldn't even predict his next words. Was he praising her, threatening her, or just pointing at the door coldly and telling her: go cook. Baoning

felt frustrated.

"What are you thinking about?" Pei Yuan looked at her for a long time, and seeing that she was just sitting there with her head lowered and not saying a word, he couldn't help but lift her chin with his hand.

Baoning opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "It's only been one night, how come you've become dumb?"

"No..." Bao Ning pursed her lips, and suddenly remembered something more important, who was that person yesterday. Although she was unharmed after a night, she was still scared when she thought about it. She pulled Pei Yuan's sleeve and asked, "Do you have any enemies?"

Pei Yuan immediately realized what she was talking about, and his face became serious.

He said lightly, "If you really want to count, I can't count my enemies in three days and three nights."

Bao Ning thought of his past bad deeds and spoke out of turn.

Pei Yuan said, "Although I have many enemies, there are not many who dare to attack me, let alone such despicable means."

Bao Ning frowned and said, "I don't understand, even if he wanted to harm you, why would he use that kind of thing..."

"If I'm not mistaken, he wanted to use softening powder. There are only two kinds of incense circulating on the black market. One is aphrodisiac incense, which is often used in fireworks. The other is softening powder, which is often used in black shops. Either he was cheated and bought the wrong incense, or he was clumsy and took the wrong incense. But no matter which one it is, this man is a fool."

Bao Ning listened to Pei Yuan's analysis in a daze, and felt that what he said seemed to make sense.

She asked, "Who do you think among the people you know is capable of doing such a thing?"

Pei Yuan said coldly, "I don't deal with fools." His words shut up Bao Ning's remaining words.

"Besides, this man's reaction is not fast, he should not be a professional killer." Pei Yuan tapped his knees with his fingers and suddenly asked a question, "If you make the same mistake as last night and burn the wrong incense, how would you kill me?"

He said gently, "Speak boldly, don't be afraid."

Bao Ning said, "Take advantage of you sleeping and being exhausted, it will be easier to do it."

Pei Yuan asked, "Why don't you choose to run away?"

"I want to kill you." Bao Ning was surprised. "After this, you must be more vigilant. It will be difficult to accomplish things in the future. It is better to choose last night."

Pei Yuan laughed and touched her hair in admiration. "You can understand the truth, but that person doesn't. You can imagine how stupid he is. Either he was temporarily confused, or he didn't mean to kill me. If you analyze it more carefully, if my former enemies wanted to kill me, why didn't they choose when I was the weakest, but had to choose now?"

Bao Ning seemed to understand. She carefully recalled the people she and Pei Yuan had met recently. They stayed in this courtyard. Apart from her family and Pei Yang, they didn't have much contact with anyone else, except...

Baoning was shocked: "Could it be Master Feng? But why did he do this?"

Pei Yuan said: "We must be on guard against others. No matter what his motives are, he is the most suspicious now, so we must be careful."

Baoning nodded ignorantly, still feeling unbelievable. Pei Yuan took her hand and squeezed it: "Baoning, the human heart is scarier than a ghost. You never know what kind of heart is hidden under a person's skin, what force will drive him to do what. So, never trust a person easily."

He suddenly spoke earnestly, Baoning felt uncomfortable, and after hearing Pei Yuan's words, she subconsciously asked: "Then can I trust you?"
