Before Sijiu could get a response from the male protagonist, a helpless sigh from the doctor in the emergency room came, "Announce the time of death."
What followed was the collapsed wails of the patient's family.
The indescribable atmosphere was broken, and Si Jiu felt her hand tighten, her hand was held tightly by Chen Huai.
"Your hands are so cold." Si Jiu said to Chen Huai.
Chen Huai turned a deaf ear and lowered his eyes, but Si Jiu could see that he was tense.
Chen Huai, due to his unique constitution, suffers from a constant influx of Yin energy, allowing him to sense "qi" that ordinary people cannot. He has been plagued by strange events since childhood, and those close to him have constantly suffered misfortunes. Therefore, he has lived alone in a villa since childhood, with servants replacing him every two weeks. He has never been close to others, and rarely left the house until he reached adulthood. He only began to appear in public two years ago, officially taking over the family business. He has a dull temperament and is not very mobile.
Wow! That's terrible.
Are the male protagonists in every world so miserable?
Sijiu: [According to the introduction, this is a supernatural world?]
System: [Something like that, but not entirely. At least, this world doesn't have ghosts in the mortal sense.]
【Oh.】What a pity.
[This world's male protagonist's golden finger: a supremely yang body. This can resolve the male protagonist's problems with Yin energy entering his body, causing him to have difficulty walking and not live past the age of 30. Delivery method: Physical contact for 18 hours. Remaining delivery time: 48 hours and 56 minutes. Please cheer up, host.]
Sijiu: "..."
So I'm not afraid of the cold because I have a very yang body?
And how can two strangers maintain physical contact for 18 hours within two days of knowing each other?
And...what kind of physical contact can last so long?
Before Si Jiu could even ask a single question, his vision suddenly went dark, and he collapsed limply onto Chen Huai's shoulder, unconscious.
…
When Sijiu deliberately touched his little finger, Chen Huai was shocked.
It’s not because he is really that innocent. With his status and position, there are quite a few women who throw themselves at him.
He was shocked because he felt the temperature.
This was something he had never experienced in his 28 years of life.
Not only was he always cold, but even when he touched someone, he couldn't feel any of their body temperature.
But that touch was too fast, the warmth left immediately after it touched, so fast that it seemed like an illusion to him.
He didn't even have time to hide his shock before he heard the woman say in a shameless and frivolous voice, "What? Your man said he'd agree to anything I asked for, but now he won't let me hug you, or even touch you?"
It’s not like Chen Huai hasn’t been seduced before, but this is the first time he’s been teased like this... like this?
He couldn't describe his feelings at that moment.
But soon, as the doctor announced the death of the person who was later pushed into the emergency room, he instantly felt an extremely cold "air" overflowing from the body of the newly deceased person, and winding towards him bit by bit.
Chen Huai almost subconsciously grabbed Si Jiu's hand. Then he felt the body temperature again...
The body temperature ignited from his cold palms, making him feel even hot.
The "qi" that had climbed up the calf quickly shrank back.
No coldness, no pain, for the first time in 28 years.
Chen Huai felt that the heat in her palm was spreading through her arm all the way to her heart. At this moment, her shoulders felt heavy and she "fainted".
The driver was startled: "Doctor, come and take a look, Miss Tang has fainted."
The driver was an "old man" and was very aware of the quirks of his boss. For example, people who were too close to or had contact with him would quickly get into various accidents or bad luck.
Obviously, this shameless Miss Tang was too close to the boss, and she even touched the boss's hand secretly just now... If you are not suppressed, who will be suppressed!
The rescue over there had just failed, and the patient who had just been diagnosed as not seriously ill suddenly fainted.
The doctor didn't dare to delay and rushed over to check.
Chen Huai was helped into a wheelchair by the driver, and the warmth in his palms disappeared.
The cold "air" once again wrapped around his ankles.
He looked at Sijiu being placed on the hospital bed by medical staff. He clenched his empty palms on his knees and lowered his eyelids.
"Uh...? This patient didn't faint. He fell asleep."
Chen Huai heard the doctor's somewhat surprised voice, and... the very quiet snoring coming from Si Jiu's mouth.
Chen Huai: “…”
