Ye Junfei saw that Lin Xiuyan's eyes were gentle, and although she was obediently letting him hold her, her body was stiff and her whole body was full of resistance to him.
He slowly released her, reached out and gently pinched her chin, asking, "What if I allowed you to have feelings for me?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiuyan said, "If you agree, I will sleep with you for one night to repay this life-saving grace. I am naturally willing."
She didn't want to have anything to do with him, and she had no plans to get married in this life. If she gave him her body, she could draw a clear line, and she had no objection.
However, her answer was clearly not what Ye Junfei wanted.
She never hid her desire to distance herself from him and have nothing to do with him.
The fire that Ye Junfei had just extinguished began to rise again.
He asked her with a smile, "Is it true that you would be willing to repay the debt of saving your life by marrying anyone who did it for you?"
Lin Xiuyan felt a chill run down her spine the moment she saw his smile. (M.cascoo.net)
He had said something similar to her in her past life. She had forgotten how she answered him then, but she remembered the excruciating pain he felt when he crushed her hand bones.
She forced a smile and said, "Of course not. I would only be willing to date someone as good-looking as you, Young Master Ye."
Ye Junfei did not feel comforted. He stared at her for three full breaths before his gaze finally fell on the bloodstain on her neck.
The bloodstain was from when she protected Xu Qianting earlier that day. His voice carried a hint of sarcasm: "Liar."
Lin Xiuyan didn't know how he came to such a conclusion. Just as she was about to speak, he had already pinned her to the bed.
Before she could react, his lips were already on her neck.
His warm, soft lips, carrying his unique scent, swept over her, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
She couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"
Ye Junfei smiled and said, "Didn't you want to distance yourself from me? I'll give you that chance."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Her thoughts were immediately filled with complex emotions. Could he possibly be planning to do that kind of thing to her?
Despite her calm demeanor when she spoke, she couldn't remain calm at all when he pinned her down like this.
She knew that with his personality, the more she resisted, the more amused he would find it, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
She struggled to suppress the urge to push him away, gripping the sheets tightly with both hands.
Ye Junfei felt her body tense up even more, and his anger intensified.
Sure enough, she hated him!
Sure enough, she didn't want him to get close to her at all!
He chuckled softly and licked her wound with the tip of his tongue.
All her senses were amplified at that moment, and she felt a numb, itchy, and painful sensation in her neck, which was extremely irritating.
Lin Xiuyan couldn't help but let out a sound, a sound filled with suppressed resentment.
The faint smell of blood only fueled the ferocity hidden deep within Ye Junfei's bones.
He couldn't do anything about her, so he simply let himself do whatever he wanted.
He opened his mouth and bit her neck, tearing the wound open a little.
Lin Xiuyan cried out softly, "It hurts!"
She instinctively tried to push Ye Junfei away, but he reached out and grabbed her hand, his tongue gently curling as he swallowed the blood that had seeped from her neck.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
He really drank her blood!
That's a pervert!
She struggled desperately, and the more blood flowed from her wound.
Ye Junfei simply lay down and sucked on her wound, holding her even tighter with his hands.
The excruciating pain, the numbness and itching, and the fear in her heart shattered Lin Xiuyan's mind.
She remembered a winter before she died, when it snowed heavily.
Ye Junfei and Zhou Chenyang fought a battle. Zhou Chenyang was defeated and abandoned her. She became Ye Junfei's prisoner.
Inside the tent, Ye Junfei pinched her chin and asked, "You helped Zhou Chenyang at all costs, but he treats you like trash. Are you willing to accept that?"
She replied, "You are nothing but a traitor and a rebel; whether I am willing to accept it or not is none of your business."
Ye Junfei smiled gently at the time: "Originally it had nothing to do with me, but seeing how much pain you were in, I helped you sever your ties with Zhou Chenyang."
That night, he threw her into a dark room, where she was abused all night.
The memory of that night, even after a lifetime, still suffocates her.
She still vividly remembers how that man, just like Ye Junfei now, bit her neck, drank her blood, and then...
The unbearable memories overlapped with the scene before her, igniting the deepest hatred in her heart.
With all her might, she kicked him, shoving him away. Then, she drew the long sword from beside the bed, her eyes red, and slashed at him, yelling, "You're going to die!"
Lin Xiuyan's sudden outburst made Ye Junfei sneer. This woman was indeed a liar; she was exposed as soon as he provoked her.
But he quickly realized something was wrong; her eyes were bloodshot, her face showed intense pain, and her expression was almost manic.
Ye Junfei asked in a deep voice, "Lin Xiuyan, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiuyan ignored him and thrust her sword at him again.
When she stabbed him, there wasn't much technique involved, but it was extremely ruthless, as if she wanted to fight him to the death.
Ye Junfei frowned slightly. She was clearly not acting normally. He dodged the sword she thrust at him, flashed behind her, and knocked her unconscious with a palm strike.
Lin Xiuyan dropped her sword and fell to the ground, but Ye Junfei caught her quickly.
He noticed that her face was pale and there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes.
He sighed softly, then picked her up and placed her on the bed.
Ye Junfei looked at her thoughtfully. He had seen her in this state before; it was clearly a post-traumatic stress disorder following a major psychological trauma.
This kind of stress can easily be triggered in similar situations.
He had investigated her past; she was a pampered young girl who, apart from meeting Zhou Chenyang, a scumbag, had a smooth and successful life.
He recalled the first time he saw her: she was carrying a bloodstained axe, sitting alone beside a corpse, surrounded by flowing blood.
How could a girl who has been pampered since childhood possibly face such a scene?
Ye Junfei knew that she had many secrets he didn't know.
Lin Xiuyan woke up again a quarter of an hour later, and saw Ye Junfei reflexively retreat.
However, once she took in her surroundings and saw Ye Junfei looking thoughtful, she snapped back to reality.
The stinging pain in her neck reminded her of what Ye Junfei had just done to her.
She reached up and touched her neck; the wound there had been treated with medicine and wrapped in gauze.
She looked at Ye Junfei with some surprise, and he asked in a cold voice, "Awake now?"
Lin Xiuyan wasn't sure if she had said anything she shouldn't have after losing control, so she simply pretended not to know: "What happened to me just now?"
