I glared at Liu Lieyu. He's inhuman! I'm already feeling so bad, and he still threatened me not to faint later.
Suddenly, the white-haired old man walked up to Liu Lieyu and me, grabbed our wrists, raised them high, and shouted, "On this auspicious day, our wedding is completed, our marriage is sealed, the red thread binds us together, we are a perfect match, and we will be together forever, like mandarin ducks by the dry sea and the stone railing. This is our solemn vow."
I didn't remember a single word the white-haired old man said. I only had one thought in my mind: Is this the end? Is this the end?
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he put down my and Liu Lieyu's hands.
Liu Lieyu pulled his hand away from mine and stood opposite me. With Liu Lieyu's hand gone, I lost my footing and swayed for a moment, but luckily I managed to steady myself.
I had just stood up when I vaguely saw Liu Lieyu give me a warning look: Don't faint!
I closed my eyes and shook my head, trying to wake myself up, but it was no use.
I really couldn't hold on any longer. If it weren't for Liu Lieyu constantly threatening me and taking You's life and everyone else's lives, I probably would have fainted by now.
I could almost hear Liu Lieyu say something about running away. Ha, how fitting! I was with Liu Lieyu, and all I wanted to do was run away!
My vision grew increasingly blurry, and finally, I collapsed onto the altar. Before I lost consciousness, I saw Liu Lieyu's angry face, and he kept threatening me in my ear, saying that I wasn't allowed to faint.
As for whether Liu Lieyu did anything drastic to me later, I have no idea; I was completely oblivious.
...
It was pitch black.
...
I woke up again in the same small room where I had been locked up before. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Liu Lieyu sitting on the edge of my bed with a dark face.
I shrank back in fear, wanting to bury my head under the covers.
Oh no, Liu Lieyu is definitely going to be furious. He warned me three times not to faint, but I still did...
He probably thinks I did it on purpose. Last time when he tried to break the curse on me, I did it on purpose, but this time, I really didn't mean to faint. I just couldn't hold on any longer.
I pursed my lips, thinking to myself, I'd better not speak yet.
Liu Lieyu remained silent with a gloomy face.
I swallowed hard, wanting to ask if "You" and Feng Su were alright. But I was also afraid that Liu Lieyu, who hadn't expected this, might have attacked them after I reminded him. I didn't care about the fake "You," but I did care about "You's" body; there was definitely a soul belonging to You locked inside.
After thinking it over, I decided to speak up. I couldn't stand this strange atmosphere for even a minute longer. "Liu Lieyu," I called Liu Lieyu's name softly. My voice was still hoarse, perhaps because I had just woken up. "I didn't mean to faint and embarrass you."
"I know."
I swallowed hard. He knew? Then... "Then you didn't do anything to You and Feng Su, did you?" I spoke each word carefully, afraid of angering Liu Lieyu.
Liu Lieyu looked at me with angry eyes, and I was so frightened that I shrank back and hid under the covers.
Pah, pah, pah! I looked down on the fake "You" the other day for being so cowardly, but when it came to me, I was just as cowardly.
No, no, no, I'm not afraid of Liu Lieyu, I'm just afraid that Liu Lieyu will hurt Youhe and Feng Su if he gets angry. Yes, this isn't fear, it's just... just patience. I silently reassured myself.
The blanket over my head was suddenly yanked off, exposing me completely to the air; my armor was gone.
