Chapter 165 A Man's No Complaint
Yun Wansheng looked at the man sitting opposite her with a slightly deep gaze. He just lowered his eyes and drank tea quietly. He looked as if nothing had happened. His expression made Yun Wansheng not know how to comfort him for a moment.
After all, he was poisoned because of himself. He said that he did not blame others, but he must have been resentful in his heart. With such a high position and power, who would be willing to die like this?
Mu Xingci put down the teacup and looked up at the woman who had been looking at him. He looked at her masculine face, which was dirty and messy due to being busy all night, making her look a little funny.
But he didn't have to worry about the embarrassment of losing his manners in front of others, because as soon as the sun rose, Qi Yi would take care of his appearance, making him look dignified and noble at all times.
"Come here, your face is dirty, I'll take it off for you." Mu Xingci looked at her with gentle eyes.
Yun Wansheng heard this, touched her face, and walked up to him: "Reveal it!"
This human skin mask is quite comfortable on my face, just like my own face, without any discomfort.
Mu Xingci used his inner strength to remove the mask from her face: "Go wash your face, it will feel better."
Yun Wansheng responded and went behind the screen.
Mu Xingci stared at the screen with a trance-like gaze, as if he could see the woman, and there was an indelible sorrow and reluctance between his brows.
As soon as Yun Wansheng came out, she was met with Mu Xingci's complicated and sad expression, and there was also a hint of despair, which made her heart stagnate.
The man had the look he should have when his life was in countdown, but he didn't show any resentment towards her, only the pain of not wanting to let go.
She walked over to the man and sat down beside him. "Don't worry too much. We still have three days. Maybe a miracle will happen."
Mu Xingci listened to the woman's rare gentleness, smiled, and naturally held her small hand: "Wan Sheng, if I really die, will you forgive me?"
Yun Wansheng's eyes paused slightly: "I don't know!"
"Can't you just lie to me and let me die happily?" Mu Xingci smiled bitterly.
Yun Wansheng smiled faintly and said fiercely: "You'd better be alive, otherwise I will hate you to death."
Hearing this, Mu Xingci raised the corner of his mouth: "You hate me so much?"
"What do you think?"
"Okay! As long as you hate me, I should be content. At least you will remember me for the rest of your life."
Yun Wansheng saw that he was gentle and kind to her and didn't blame her at all, which made her eyes red.
"Don't think that I can forgive you just because of this." After saying that, he suddenly stood up and ran out of the room.
Mu Xingci watched her leave in a daze. The warmth she left on his hands still made him rub his palms unconsciously with his fingers.
Yun Wansheng came to the guest room opposite, her eyes blurred by the tears she had endured. "Why the hell did you have to come here to look for me? If you hadn't looked for me, everything would have been fine. Now that you've become like this, it's all your own fault. You can't blame anyone else."
Yun Wansheng, who had nowhere to vent her anger, could only curse without meaning it, and she didn't even realize that her clothes were soaked with tears.
I don’t know how long I cried before I slowly calmed down. Then I took out the bamboo tube containing the golden-shelled medicine insect from my arms.
At this critical moment, the insect must not be in any harm, otherwise when Yan Baozhu comes back, the insect will suffocate to death again.
Thinking of this, he poured the five golden-shelled medicine insects onto the table. They were half-bent with golden bodies, and at first glance they looked like gold ingots, which were very beautiful.
Seeing that they didn't move, Yun Wansheng stretched out a finger and moved them one by one. The first four were awakened by her and stretched out their fat bodies.
Seeing that it was still alive, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth in relief, and casually picked up the last one, but after picking it several times, the golden-shelled medicine insect didn't react.
"Is this one dead?" he muttered to himself, poking its mouth with his finger in desperation.
Unexpectedly, just after she poked it twice, the golden-shelled medicine insect bit her finger fiercely, causing her to scream in pain.
She never imagined that this cute little thing would bite people, and that its bite was so painful that she wanted to pull it off. However, she was afraid that if she pulled it too hard, she would kill it, so she could only shake her little hands to try to get it off.
When Mu Xingci heard her screams, he immediately rushed into her room. He thought she had encountered an assassin, but when he came in, he saw her swinging her arms anxiously at the table.
Seeing that there was no assassin, he felt relieved and walked up to her: "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing him coming, Yun Wansheng stretched out her finger to show him with tears in her eyes: "It bit me, you have to find a way to take it off quickly."
Only then did Mu Xingci see the golden-shelled medicine bug on her finger. This scene made him laugh out loud in an unkind way: "How did you get bitten by it?" Laughing, he was about to pull the bug off.
Seeing his rough movements, Yun Wansheng quickly moved her hand away to avoid his touch: "I asked you to find a way to make it loosen its mouth, not to kill it. It can still be useful!"
Mu Xingci's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that this woman would cry even after being bitten by an insect, and still not forget the importance of this medicinal insect to her. It seems that she is not so indifferent to him.
"Just bear with it." Mu Xingci said gently, holding up the woman's hand, and with his other hand, pinched the insect and slowly pulled it out.
But when he pulled it out, the insect bit even tighter, causing Yun Wansheng to scream in pain. Mu Xingci was about to use more force when Yun Wansheng stopped him: "Don't move. Go get the jar of wine and try."
Mu Xingci gave a look to Qi Yi who followed in, and someone went to get the wine.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Mu Xingci blew on her fingers to relieve her pain.
"Hmm!" A gentle breeze came from her hand, making Yun Wansheng raise her red eyes and look at the man opposite.
"I'll blow on you for a while longer. If the wine doesn't make it loosen up, we'll kill it."
"No, what if you just need five?" Yun Wansheng flatly refused.
"Are you so concerned about my life or death?" Mu Xingci's eyes were full of tenderness.
"Who cares about you? Don't be so self-indulgent. You are doing this for me. I don't want to owe you my life." Yun Wansheng lowered her eyes and spoke mercilessly.
Mu Xingci looked at this awkward woman who had saddened him for many years, and said nothing more, continuing to blow on her fingers.
But just after blowing twice, he saw the golden shell of the insect in front of him gradually turn red. Before he could react what was happening, the woman's screams came to his ears again.
This time, he pulled off the insect that had changed color after sucking blood without thinking, causing Yun Wansheng to scream in pain again.
When they thought their fingers would be bitten into a bloody mess, they found that there was no bleeding, and there were only two tiny holes at the bite site.
