"Silly boy, taking care of you is my duty as your wife!" Gu Yixian said with a sweet smile, nestled in Gu Liyan's arms.
Upon hearing Gu Yixian say that he was her wife, Gu Liyan excitedly hugged Gu Yixian tightly and chuckled foolishly.
Just as the two were lost in their sweet moments, a burnt smell came from the kitchen. Gu Yixian immediately stood up and exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot there was a medicinal meal for you in the pot!"
After saying that, she crawled out of Gu Liyan's arms and ran into the kitchen.
Hearing Gu Yixian's actions, Gu Liyan smiled wickedly, suppressing his laughter and saying smugly, "Yiyi, since you've already messed it up, don't worry about the medicinal cuisine. Just make me some light food."
Gu Yixian came out of the kitchen looking anxious, carrying a bowl of burnt and sticky medicinal soup. She said with a regretful expression, "Oh dear, it's all burnt! What are we going to do!"
Gu Liyan chuckled, "It's alright, if it doesn't work this time, we'll try again next time!"
Gu Yixian looked at the unappetizing medicinal cuisine in her hand, then glanced at the smiling "little fox" behind the mask, and suddenly understood something. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Gu Liyan and said:
"Although this medicinal food doesn't look very appetizing, Xiao Li, you can't see it at all, so it doesn't really matter! Why don't you just make do and eat it directly!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan's face immediately darkened. He had thought that he could hold off Gu Yixian and let the medicinal food cook overcooked so that he could be spared the torment of this awful taste!
To everyone's surprise, Gu Yixian brought over the burnt medicinal food, saying that since he couldn't see the face, it didn't matter and told him to eat it...
This is too casual! Doesn't Gu Yixian know that medicine can kill people?!
Just as Gu Liyan was hesitating, unsure whether to nod, Gu Yixian smiled and said:
"Xiao Li, you won't mind, will you?"
"I……"
Before Gu Liyan could say anything more, Gu Yixian blinked at him and said with a wronged expression, "This was made by someone who went up the mountain and worked hard all day to collect herbs. It can't be wasted. Xiao Li, you won't be ungrateful, will you?"
Gu Liyan's lips twitched involuntarily. Although he couldn't see it, that didn't mean he couldn't smell the burnt smell and the "one bite to the underworld" taste of the death cuisine!
Gu Liyan swallowed hard. No matter what, this was her heartfelt gesture; if he refused, wouldn't it mean he didn't care about her?
Thinking of this, Gu Liyan gritted his teeth and said, "How could I not appreciate it? Yiyi, you've done so much for me... I, I ate it all! Ha..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yixian smiled and immediately stuffed the medicinal food into Gu Liyan's hand, saying, "Then eat it while it's hot!"
Gu Liyan felt the heavy weight in his hand, swallowed hard again, and silently chanted in his heart, "If I don't go to hell, who will... I'll risk it all to win a smile from this beauty!"
Thinking about it, I picked up the bowl and ate it in one gulp.
The sticky texture still lingered in my mouth, and the taste was still unbearably awful...
Gu Liyan finished the bowl in one gulp, and Gu Yixian snatched it back, smiling as she looked at the completely empty bowl of medicinal food.
Turning to look at Gu Liyan, she asked with a serious expression, "Xiao Li, how are you feeling?"
Gu Liyan asked in confusion, "What do you mean, how? I..."
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically.
Gu Yixian looked at Gu Liyan with anticipation, "Xiao Li, how are you feeling?"
"I, I'm a little..." Gu Liyan's expression changed drastically. He felt his stomach churning like a tidal wave, and he suddenly stood up and staggered out the door—
"vomit……"
Seeing this, Gu Yixian hurriedly chased after him. She looked at Gu Liyan vomiting in pain and then at the bloody secretions he vomited, and her expression turned serious.
The red secretion was poisonous blood from Gu Liyan's body. Gu Yixian looked at the bowl in her hand. She had just used the method of fighting poison with poison.
Gu Liyan didn't know how long he had been vomiting. He felt that with each vomit, his life force weakened a little.
He didn't know what Gu Yixian had given him to make him suffer so much; he didn't even have the strength to turn around and ask Gu Yixian now.
His eyelids grew heavy, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious...
——
As night fell and the weather turned cooler, several more blankets were added to cover Gu Liyan.
Gu Yixian sat on the edge of Gu Liyan's bed, wiping his face repeatedly with a hot towel. At this moment, he felt icy cold all over, as if he were in an ice cellar.
Looking at Gu Liyan's pale face and unusually cold expression, Gu Yixian's gaze was filled with unease:
"Xiao Li, I never imagined the poison you were in was so severe. It's all my fault; I never thought I would harm you. But don't worry, if anything happens to you, I will never let you go to the underworld alone. I, Gu Yixian, will go with you..."
As she spoke, Gu Yixian gently took Gu Liyan's hand, which was corroded by venom and bandaged, her eyes reddening with heartache. "Your fingers are connected to your heart; this injury must be very painful for you..."
"Uh..." Gu Liyan's hand trembled slightly, and he woke up.
"Xiao Li, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Gu Yixian's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked.
“Yiyi…” Gu Liyan opened his eyes, and a light appeared in front of him, albeit blurry and shadowy, but overall, it was much better than the dark vision before.
"Yes, I'm here," Gu Yixian said softly.
Gu Liyan instinctively gripped Gu Yixian's hand, ignoring the injury to his own hand, and used all his strength to hold Gu Yixian's hand tightly, "Yiyi, I thought... I was going to die..."
