While Yu Jingchen was still thinking about these things, Nan Zhiyun slowly woke up, and Yu Jingchen was the first to notice.
"Nan Zhiyun?" Yu Jingchen called out tentatively.
Nan Zhiyun slowly opened her eyes, feeling somewhat disoriented.
"Nan Zhiyun? She's awake?" Yu Jingchen called out again.
Nan Zhiyun faintly heard her own name. She looked to the side, and her blurry vision gradually cleared. But when she saw that the person in front of her was Yu Jingchen, she seemed to be violently frightened.
Even her eyes filled with fear. Yu Jingchen frowned and was about to pull her up when he saw Nan Zhiyun back away in terror. In the end, she even forgot about her injuries and fell off the bed.
His face contorted in pain. Yu Jingchen's pupils contracted.
"Nan Zhiyun?" He stepped forward again, instinctively wanting to help Nan Zhiyun up. But just like before, as soon as Yu Jingchen raised his hand, Nan Zhiyun fearfully tried to dodge, disregarding her injuries and running away, even though she couldn't stand up.
Yu Jingchen didn't know why either, only assuming that Nan Zhiyun had been frightened this time.
"Nan Zhiyun, don't move. Do you know who I am?" Yu Jingchen finally stopped in his tracks. Nan Zhiyun shrank to the foot of the bed, with nowhere to retreat. The wounds on her body reopened, soaking through her snow-white dress.
Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen, who showed no improvement whatsoever, only shaking his head repeatedly: "No..."
"Nan Zhiyun, don't be afraid, get up first, okay?" Yu Jingchen didn't even realize that his tone was now somewhat coaxing.
Nan Zhiyun was still shaking her head, her knees curled up, and she hugged herself tightly with both hands, but the fear in her eyes did not diminish at all.
Yu Jingchen gradually lost patience because the bloodstains on Nan Zhiyun's body were becoming increasingly obvious, so they could not continue to delay any longer.
Yu Jingchen didn't care whether Nan Zhiyun was still scared or not, and went up to her. Nan Zhiyun was terrified and clung tightly to the wall.
"No...no..." Nan Zhiyun spoke very softly, but it conveyed her helplessness and despair.
"Nan Zhiyun, look at me, see who I am," Yu Jingchen said, restraining Nan Zhiyun's hands.
Nan Zhiyun struggled, but she could never break free under normal circumstances, so how could she now?
Seeing Nan Zhiyun's intense reaction, Yu Jingchen vaguely sensed that something was amiss. However, because Nan Zhiyun was covered in injuries, he dared not exert too much force.
"Nan Zhiyun, get up first," Yu Jingchen said softly.
Nan Zhiyun didn't listen and was still thinking about breaking free. Yu Jingchen felt that she seemed to have no ability to think right now.
"Nan Zhiyun!" Yu Jingchen roared. He originally thought that if he shouted like that, Nan Zhiyun would calm down and become more composed, but this time Nan Zhiyun's face was full of despair, and she knelt down directly in front of Yu Jingchen.
"No..." Nan Zhiyun pleaded humbly.
"Your Majesty...no!" Nan Zhiyun shook her head vigorously, her voice trembling with sobs. Yu Jingchen didn't know why.
He didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
