Splash—
Water splashed everywhere, and the heartbroken wolf cub was instantly soaked to the bone. His long hair fell loose, dripping wet and draped over his shoulders, and his eyelashes were wet and misty.
The look in her eyes as she looked at Si Jin was one of bewilderment and helplessness.
[Help! This feels better!!!]
For a split second, Xiao Yao had an idea and almost grabbed two glow sticks to cheer for Si Jin.
But after thinking about the new beard that had "hard-won" grown, and considering the chances of his parents' counterattack failing, he decided to be on the safe side and secretly cheer them on with a small glow stick.
Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack! ^O^/
Warm water seeped into the wound, causing a slight pain, but Ji Linyuan remained silent, not even blinking.
He seemed to have lost all sense of pain. If death was the inevitable end for him, he felt that dying at the hands of the young master was better than dying outside.
Ji Linyuan stared blankly at Si Jin as he thought this, and after a long while, he saw the arrogant young master of the Gu King slowly squat down, stretch out his long arm, and grab his chin.
Ji Linyuan was forced to look up, and just like that, caught off guard, he met those sharp, peach-blossom eyes.
For some reason, a feeling of genuine shame suddenly arose from the bottom of my heart. I felt that giving up on life would be letting down the people in front of me.
"See?" Si Jin said, "That's how the world is. If you don't fight or compete, you'll become someone else's pawn, at their mercy, and you won't even have a choice in your own death."
"Does the wound hurt when it's soaked in water?"
Ji Linyuan subconsciously shook his head. Perhaps because his heart was too heavy, he really couldn't feel the pain anymore.
"Okay." Si Jin released him, opened the mechanical ring on her hand, raised her hand, and cut the back of her hand, letting the blood drip down in front of Ji Linyuan, quickly melting into the hot spring and disappearing.
This caused the little wolf cub's eyes to redden instantly: "Young Master, what are you doing?"
Seeing Si Jin's gaze, he hurriedly reached out to cover his wound, but Si Jin clearly had no intention of stopping and was going to cut again.
Ji Linyuan then reached out again, ignoring his injuries, to grasp his ring: "It hurts."
He said, "Stop cutting me, it hurts so much."
"I don't want to be at the mercy of others, I don't want to be unable to protect even you..."
At this point, Ji Linyuan suddenly froze. He didn't want Si Jin to be at the mercy of others with him. He finally understood that he wanted to... protect the person in front of him.
All the suffocation, all the longing and unease before, all stemmed from... love!
"Listen." Si Jin took back the ring and continued, "You're in my residence now, and you're inextricably linked to me. If you don't want to drag me down, then live well, understand?"
“But I don’t have a thumb ring anymore.” Ji Linyuan lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the fake white jade thumb ring on his hand.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up with joy—
That's right. Only he has seen the message on the ring. If he can just copy the message again before meeting the Miao King, then all the effort that those people who want him dead will have wasted will be wasted.
"Finally, I've got it." A hint of relief appeared in Si Jin's eyes: "Just forge it, who can tell the difference between real and fake these things?"
Seeing that the little wolf cub understood, Si Jin asked again, "Did you find the ring?"
"Found it." Ji Linyuan tightened his grip on the ring on his finger, a strange glint in his eyes. "Now, there's something even more important to do!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and hugged Si Jin's waist, pulling him into the water with her. She then quickly pressed him against the rocks, trapping him in her arms.
