"I...I..." Yi Yi sobbed twice, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. "I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and I might die from the poison soon. I can never...never see Mu Mu again, never see Guo Guo again...Waaah...my Guo Guo..."
The man glanced at the innocent little snake in his hand, then at Yi Yi, who was crying her eyes out.
She had initially thought it was a poisonous snake.
Yes, it seems he had scared her before by saying there were poisonous snakes around.
However... since she thought it was a poisonous snake, where did she get the courage to save him so fearlessly, only to be bitten in return?
Yi cried harder and harder, her grief intensifying. She was about to die. Death itself wasn't the problem, but couldn't she at least die in a more dignified way? To be bitten to death by a poisonous snake—that was far too gruesome and unsightly!
And her precious Guoguo, she'll never see him again...
"Waaah... I'm going to die... My, I can't even lift my arm... The venom has seeped in, it's over, my heart... my heart is starting to hurt, breathing... my breathing..."
man:"……"
How could there be such a stupid woman?
"This snake is non-venomous."
This snake is non-venomous...non-venomous...venomous...
Yi Yi quickly wiped away her tears, pretending that nothing had happened, and stuffed another mouthful of rice into her mouth, and also finished a bowl of soup.
It's not poisonous... Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me cry so much!
The corners of the man's mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, forcing a smile-like expression, which he quickly suppressed.
"You can be considered my savior, although what you just did was unnecessary, and I didn't need your help."
"..."
Is this really how you treat someone who saved your life?
"However, I always repay kindness. Tell me what you want, as long as I can do it."
You can make requests...
Yi Yi's gaze then slowly fell on the man's shirt pocket.
Could you let her make a phone call?
The man quickly understood her intention and refused. "No."
“I’m not trying to make things difficult for you. I just want to put my family at ease. Besides, even if I get in touch with my family, I don’t know where I am, and I can’t escape.”
The earnestness in his eyes made his usually firm will waver.
He hated this feeling of being out of control.
"No……"
Before he could even finish saying "yes" to "no," Yi Yi tugged at his sleeve, her tearful eyes as clear and innocent as a deer's. "Please. I just want to make this one call."
"..."
The man's face turned ashen. He packed his things, quickly went out, and closed the iron gate.
Yi Yi's hand hung in mid-air; it seemed her hopes had been dashed.
Unexpectedly, when the man returned that night, he agreed to her request.
...
Philadelphia, maple-lined waterfront.
Mu Nanxun took the medicine, and his high fever subsided somewhat, but he still didn't wake up. He kept talking nonsense or calling out Yi Yi's name. He was covered in sweat, and his clothes were completely soaked.
Xia Bingqing stayed by his side the whole time, wiping his sweat and covering him with a blanket.
"Buzz..."
Just then, my phone vibrated.
Xia Bingqing looked around and found her phone on the bedside table. It showed a non-existent number.
Strange, why is this number still being displayed?
Mu Nanxun, who was unconscious, was perhaps disturbed by the sound of his phone vibrating, and frowned slightly in displeasure.
Upon seeing this, Xia Bingqing immediately hung up the call.
