The syringe was tiny. Xu Nuo had been mentally preparing himself ever since he agreed to it, but seeing that thing pierce his skin with his own eyes felt like his heart was being grabbed and squeezed hard by a giant hand!
It wasn't until the two people left the room that Nan Qing'an threw away the cotton ball he was pressing and lowered his rolled-up sleeves, and Xu Nuo finally came to her senses.
"It's alright now, Nuonuo, lie down for a while."
Nan Qing'an helped Xu Nuo lie down, and then sat on the edge of the bed watching him.
Xu Nuo stared blankly at the ceiling, the cold liquid in her arms seemed to have flowed through her body with her blood, and her heart was filled with coldness!
He had seen too many addicts since he was a child. He knew what they would end up like and how terrible it was when the drug took effect!
"Nono, you have to be good. You were so good at the sanatorium. Every time you called me Ruoan, you smiled so sweetly! Do you remember? You would come to see me every day. Even if I didn't say a word, you would talk to me for a long time to make me happy!"
Nan Qing soothed Xu Nuo's cheek, making him turn his head to look at her.
Xu Nuo met Nan Qing'an's tender eyes and chuckled softly:
"I remember the food at the sanatorium was awful; only your place had good food!"
Xu Nuo suddenly sat up, met Nan Qing'an's gaze, and said frankly:
"I talked to you so much just so I could eat your delicious food!"
Nan Qing'an seemed dissatisfied with the promise and corrected him, "No, others also have good food, but you only talk to me and only eat mine!"
"That's because no one else will give it to me! Only you are so easy to fool!"
After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he looked at Nan Qing'an and chuckled.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Qing'an suddenly stood up, staring at Xu Nuo's smiling face with anger hidden between his brows.
Xu Nuo tilted her head slightly, a smile playing on her lips, and raised an eyebrow at Nan Qing'an.
After their eyes met for a long time, Nan Qing'an raised her hand to touch her forehead and slightly moved her lips:
I'll come see you in a bit.
Watching Nan Qing'an leave the room, Xu Nuo slumped onto the bed, feeling dizzy and unsure of his next move. The fear of the unknown made him curl up.
.....................................................................................................
When she closed her eyes, all she saw was darkness. Xu Nuo was a little scared. When she opened her eyes again, everything was blurry and the light was dim.
Xu Nuo rubbed her eyes, but her head became even more dizzy, and her vision grew increasingly blurry.
"It's getting dark..."
Xu Nuo murmured to himself.
She rolled over, intending to turn on the light, but before she could even sit up, Xu Nuo felt a sudden dizziness. The bed beneath her seemed to be moving. Xu Nuo gripped the sheets tightly, but felt powerless.
The entire space seemed to shake. Xu Nuo groped around haphazardly, trying to grab onto something to maintain her balance. Her hand brushed against the bed railing, and Xu Nuo gripped it tightly.
Xu Nuo felt like she was on a roller coaster, going up and down!
Her heart was pounding, and a wave of nausea washed over her. She tried desperately to suppress it, but in the end, she couldn't hold it in any longer and gagged a few times, but nothing came out!
As the surrounding light grew dimmer, Xu Nuo's fear surged forth like a flood. Ignoring the still swaying space before her, Xu Nuo sat up and got out of bed.
He had just stood up when the swaying scenery made him lose his balance and fall to the ground.
"Lights, turn on the lights..."
Xu Nuo felt no pain from the fall, nor did she know where she had fallen; all she wanted to do was find the light switch.
She got up, fell down again, her vision was blurry, her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, and her breathing became extremely rapid!
Squeak~~
The sound of the door opening sounded very distant to Xu Nuo's ears, as if it came from a very far place!
Xu Nuo blinked hard, struggled to lift her head, and knelt down, holding onto the bed legs. In the doorway, a figure stood vaguely.
Shaking his head hard only brought another wave of dizziness. He tried to focus his eyes, but the surroundings became even darker, with only the person standing at the doorway surrounded by a halo of light.
Having finally made out the person's facial features, Xu Nuo laughed, panting, and shouted excitedly:
"elder brother!"
The figure at the doorway did not move.
Xu Nuo staggered to her feet and walked towards the door, but fell to the ground again after only a few steps.
"elder brother.........."
Xu Nuo called out again, this time with a sob in his voice.
"Brother, why are you ignoring me?"
As he propped himself up, a strange sensation spread through his body. The surrounding space no longer swayed as before, and a tingling feeling surged through his entire body.
This feeling made Xu Nuo unable to help but let out a comfortable hum.
"Brother, I can't get up..."
Xu Nuo kept looking at the figure at the door and stretched out a hand to him.
Finally, the figure at the door moved!
He walked up to Xu Nuo, squatted down, took his outstretched hand, and half-pulled him into his arms.
"Closer... I can't see you clearly..."
Xu Nuo's body went limp. She looked up at the person who was holding her, reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, wanting to pull him closer to her.
"Brother... I can't see clearly... I can't see clearly..."
Following Xu Nuo's lead, she lowered her head. The two were so close that Xu Nuo could clearly feel the breath he exhaled as he spoke.
"Nono, look carefully, who am I?"
Xu Nuo seemed not to hear him, and just kept snuggling into his arms.
"It's getting dark... Brother... It's getting dark, I'm scared..."
"Nono, it's not dark yet."
Nan Qing'an's brows furrowed with coldness, but he still held Xu Nuo tightly in his arms.
"Brother...I'm scared..."
Xu Nuo's open eyes became hazy, and the surge of pleasure within him made him unconsciously hum aloud.
Nan Qing'an picked Xu Nuo up horizontally and placed her on the bed. As soon as he let go, Xu Nuo wrapped her arms around his neck and wouldn't let go.
"Don't go...it's getting dark..."
