As soon as the words were spoken, the footsteps gradually spread to the bedside, and it seemed that someone slowly squatted down and carefully lifted the quilt.
The first thing you see is a boy curled up in a small ball because of the pain.
Because she dared not open her eyes, when Nie Linyuan lifted the blanket, Si Jin visibly flinched, and two more tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, soaking her long eyelashes and trembling slightly.
She looked utterly helpless, her eyes closed even tighter, which only made the beauty mark at the corner of her eye appear even more beautiful.
Nie Linyuan lowered his eyes, his expression still blank, but his heart was churning with turmoil.
He had seen too many people in the punishment room—terrified, begging for mercy, wishing for death, fainting—but he had never realized that a person could be so beautifully vulnerable.
It's like... a fine piece of porcelain.
People dared to hold it with utmost care, unwilling to damage it in the slightest.
Oh, right, he's injured, he must be freezing, we need to get him some medicine.
Thinking this, Nie Linyuan raised his hand and gently straightened Si Jin, slowly unbuttoning his clothes.
Her snow-white skin was covered with red spots, and in some places it looked like she had bled. It was a heartbreaking sight.
Nie Linyuan took some medicine and gently applied it.
The men under my command were very obedient; they kept their eyes closed and remained motionless.
When it hurts, it will groan softly.
Occasionally, his hand would touch something and he would unconsciously tremble.
They were pitiful and easily bullied.
This caused Nie Linyuan's slightly calloused fingertips to linger on his body for a few more moments, especially on the places where a person might tremble, repeatedly lingering there.
The medicine he brought was unique to NPCs and had excellent effects; when applied to a wound, it would heal in just ten minutes.
After applying the medicine, Nie Linyuan slowly helped Si Jin put on her clothes and covered her with a blanket.
When I saw the person's face again, it was completely red, and tears were streaming from the corners of their eyes, soaking a small patch of the pillow.
Yet she remained obediently pursing her lips, motionless and silent.
what to do?
Nie Linyuan's heart, which had been still for a long time, visibly skipped a beat—he wanted to protect him, he wanted to tease him, and make him cry only for him.
With this thought in mind, he stood by the bedside, motionless for a long time.
Sometime later, the boy on the bed seemed to think he had left, and as if to protect himself, he slowly shrank back into the blankets.
The position of the pillow changed because of his movement, revealing a bit of the edge of the notebook.
Is this what you just wrote?
Nie Linyuan reached out and picked it up, turning to the first page.
September 1, 2018, sunny.
Today is the first day of school, and I'm quite happy about it.
To pursue Ah Yuan, I repeated my studies for two years, finally transforming from a poor elementary school student who could only score a little over 500 points into a student at Tsinghua University.
At this time, A Yuan was already a senior. I saw him at the student union's welcome event today. He was so handsome, still as dazzling as before.
Although he didn't look at me, I was still very happy to see him again.
A Yuan?
Does it refer to...him?
Nie Linyuan couldn't believe it, because apart from being an NPC in the world of rules, he had no other memories.
He spent many years in the punishment room, where he became accustomed to all kinds of pain and indifference.
Therefore, they become numb, their heartbeat slows down, and even their movements and blood flow become slow, making them unable to understand normal human emotions.
But in the bottom left corner of the diary, there was clearly a photo of him. Was that the boy with the sunny smile in the photo his former self?
Does this contain everything he experienced when he was still a normal person?
Nie Linyuan was deeply shocked and ultimately couldn't bear to return the diary to Si Jin, so he took it all back with him.
After the footsteps faded into the distance, the boy huddled under the covers slowly opened his eyes, his red eyes glistening with tears, almost filled with excitement.
The fish has taken the bait.
