◎Can love relieve pain?◎
"Have you seen Wen Yueling today?"
He bumped into someone by accident in the morning. When Pei Ji came back to have lunch with An Jiu at noon, he talked about this matter.
Seeing that he looked normal and his tone was particularly calm when he mentioned Wen Yueling, as if the other party was just a stranger, An Jiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly that his acting skills were really good.
But she is not far behind.
"Yes, we met by chance and talked for a few words." She said casually, in a nonchalant tone, and suddenly turned her gaze to the young man in white.
He was removing the tiny bones from the fish for her, his slender white fingers swaying before her eyes, every move was so unhurried and pleasing to the eye.
Like a young man from a noble family.
An Jiu admired it for a while, and then saw Pei Ji turned his eyes away as if he had noticed something, his crow-feather-like eyelashes trembling, and he met her eyes with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
She looked at him for so long that he couldn't help but wonder if she had noticed something.
Although she knew the news, she still didn't know anything. It was just as she said. She had only said a few words to Wen Yueling, and he was so nervous that he almost confessed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I have made some other discoveries today." An Jiu pursed her lips and smiled lightly.
The slight smile on Pei Ji's face became stiff. To prevent her from noticing, he lowered his head and put the fish meat into her bowl. His clear and gentle voice came softly: "What did you find?"
An Jiu picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste spread between her lips and tongue. She continued to speak in a casual, nonchalant tone, "I found that Wen Yueling seems to like you a little."
Before Pei Ji could answer, she continued, "It doesn't matter, I've already sent her away."
Pei Ji's throat was dry. He opened his mouth slightly and asked a question he already knew the answer to: "How to get rid of it?"
The girl glanced at him and said casually: "I said you are a short-lived ghost. Who knows how many months you can live?"
This expression and tone were exactly the same as when she called him a cripple a long time ago.
Different from the previous heart-breaking self-mockery.
Pei Ji only felt a warm current surging in his heart. He would no longer feel cold and irritated because of the girl's dislike. After all, An Jiu was just like that. Although what she said might not sound nice, it always had another meaning.
Sure enough, the girl raised her pointed chin the next second and said with some pride, "When I said you won't live past twenty, she immediately ran away. Humph, what fool in the world would be with a short-lived person who would die early?"
Pei Ji responded silently in his heart.
Aren’t you still a fool?
His heart ached. Yes, who else could love him like this except her?
When he first received the news that An Jiu and Wen Yueling had run into each other, his heart tightened.
She was afraid that she would discover something, and she was also worried that Wen Yueling would bump into her and have a conflict with her.
Yaowang Valley is not big, and Pei Ji was reluctant to restrict An Jiu, so he let her wander around the valley all day. Even though he had already arranged Wen Yueling in a very remote place, it was only a matter of time before they met.
Wen Yueling is by no means an ordinary weak woman. She has been suffering from illness for many years and even has a hint of paranoia in her character. If she were to face An Jiu, given their personalities, they would definitely not be able to live in peace.
Unexpectedly, An Jiu made Wen Yueling retreat with just one sentence.
Although it slightly disrupted his detoxification plan, Pei Ji did not feel unhappy at all.
Wen Yueling liked him, but that was all. This love was too shallow and disappeared quickly, but it would easily come back with just a hint from him.
Only she loved him as always, and didn't care even though she knew he was poisoned and would not live long.
"I can't control whether others like you, so let's forget about what happened today. But Pei Ji, I have to tell you that I can't accept betrayal. If I knew that you betrayed me and touched another woman, I would definitely leave and never come back."
The crisp voice of words rang in his ears, and Pei Ji suddenly came back to his senses, and met the girl's rare serious eyes.
Her eyes were extremely focused, without any teasing or coquettishness, and were dark and bright, like two small clear mirrors, reflecting his shadow clearly.
It felt like a huge rock was stuffed into my chest, weighing heavily down.
The dryness in his throat became more and more obvious. Pei Ji coughed softly before finding his voice again: "Okay... I promise you, I won't do anything to let you down."
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the night in Jinshe Town, and the conversation they had by the river. She was the same at that time, saying "I will never forgive" seriously, and then, as expected, she never forgave Feiyi again.
The feeling of panic kept spreading, making him restless and unable to even muster up a smile.
After eating in a hurry, he left in a hurry. He was no longer like before when he just wanted to spend more time with her every time he came back. He was satisfied even if he just looked at her quietly. In the end, An Jiu would always urge him to go and see patients.
Of course An Jiu noticed Pei Ji's abnormal behavior, but she pretended not to know.
After all, this was the result of her own actions.
After that, An Jiu went to the peach forest several more times and picked peaches for a few days, but he never saw Wen Yueling again.
However, although she didn't see her, she saw her figure again from Pei Ji's real-time surveillance.
After meeting An Jiu that day, Wen Yueling became so emotionally agitated that she fell ill again.
The time Pei Ji spent treating her also became longer accordingly.
He had indeed never given Wen Yueling a clear response, but the gentle words and caring tone during the treatment still made the young girl, who had little experience, deeply moved.
An Jiu's words that day had some effect, but not much.
Under Wen Yueling's side-knocking one time, the young man in white only needed to smile bitterly and say a few words to win the girl's softness and sympathy.
Beauty, strength and tragedy are always attractive, even in ancient times.
In this regard, An Jiu just watched coldly, as if he didn't notice anything and acted as if he knew nothing about it.
Not long after meeting Wen Yueling, one night, there was a sudden knock on An Jiu's door.
She walked over and opened the door, and saw a man covered in sweat and with a pale face.
An Jiu knew at a glance that Pei Ji had been poisoned again.
As soon as the door opened, he staggered in, put his arms around the girl's slender waist, rested his chin on Anjiu's shoulder, and murmured her name in a trembling voice: "Jiu'er..."
An Jiu raised her hand and touched his face, then asked calmly, "Is the poison taking effect?"
She had seen him suffer from the effects of poison before in Wuyin Temple, so it was understandable that she was not surprised at this moment.
Pei Ji did not think deeply about this. He came here late at night with great determination and knocked on her door. When he stood in front of her door, his drowsy mind was still wondering, would she open the door for him so late?
However, he only knocked once and the door opened.
The discovery that she was completely defenseless against him made his mind go completely haywire. Even the pain in his body was alleviated a lot as the full and rich emotion spread in his chest.
It wasn't an illusion. Every time the poison took effect and he was with her, he would feel better for some reason.
Can love alleviate pain? He wondered vaguely.
Before An Jiu could say a few more words, the man who was on her raised his head and breathed hotly on her. His thin lips were burning hot and fell randomly on her cheeks, nose tip, corners of mouth, and ears.
He couldn't help but breathe heavily, and every breath he exhaled carried his unique bitter medicinal scent.
The summer night was hot and stuffy. After a brief moment of shock, the girl gently put her arms around the man's neck and, as he fumbled for the right move, she gently pressed her lips against his. As soon as they touched, the man, who was as impatient as a big dog, suddenly calmed down.
He held her soft lips and moved quickly, touching the soft and tender tongue hidden inside and entwining it constantly.
An Jiu was entangled by him until she could hardly breathe and her lips were numb. Unfortunately, she could not communicate with a man who had lost his mind. When she pushed him away, he would only kiss her harder and hug her more tightly, as if he was annoyed by her resistance and almost crushed her into pieces and melted her into his bones and blood.
She lowered her eyes to look at him, only to see his dark eyelashes trembling, his brows covered with cold sweat, and he looked in a miserable state.
There was visible pain in the man's eyes and eyebrows, and she seemed to be the medicine to relieve his pain.
In the end, An Jiu silently put down his hand that was trying to refuse.
The next day, Pei Ji woke up to the sound of birds singing.
Yaowang Valley is filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Every morning before dawn, birds will sing melodiously on the branches to wake up early risers.
He opened his eyes, and the first thing he felt was the warmth and softness in his arms.
When I looked down in a trance, I saw that the girl's face was flushed, the corners of her eyes were red, the tip of her nose was red, and her lips were redder, swollen, bright, and tender.
There were still some sparkling water in the corners of her eyes, which were the traces of tears. A few strands of black hair were wet with sweat, sticking to her cheek, winding and sticking to the corners of her red lips.
Memories gradually returned, and Pei Ji slowly remembered that chaotic night.
Her sight lowered, and she was completely buried under his wide sleeves. He pulled up his sleeves little by little, and what came into view was a scene like red plum blossoms in the snow.
The girl's originally fair and delicate skin was covered with many bruises, red and purple, extending from her ears to her ankles, like flowers blooming all over her body. She was wrapped in a thin undergarment, and the fabric was full of wrinkles.
His body was also a little disheveled, with his front unbuttoned, revealing a small area of his fair and strong chest. The girl fell asleep with her head resting on this area. The tiny stream of air from her breath hit her chest, like a tiny feather gently scratching it, bringing an itch deep into her bones.
It was a hot summer day, and she just sat in his arms, covered by his sleeves, and slept soundly.
Pei Ji stared at her silently for a long time without waking her up.
He just couldn't help but hold her hand, and his fingertips gently touched a tooth mark on her shoulder. The tooth mark was quite deep, probably because he didn't control his strength, and it has not faded yet, with a circle of slightly swollen redness.
The girl seemed to be aware of his movements. Her slender eyebrows slightly frowned, and her long eyelashes trembled, but she did not open her eyes. She just turned her head and buried her little face deeper into his chest, murmuring vaguely: "Be gentle, be gentle..."
He was clearly the culprit who had caused her to be in this state. He still remembered how she struggled helplessly under his palm last night, her flushed face, and the tears that fell. But unconsciously, she would still subconsciously hide in his arms.
There are birds chirping outside the window, and the house is quiet.
Pei Ji couldn't describe his feelings at the moment. Perhaps if there was happiness in the world, this was it.
In order to keep this happiness, he will try every means.
At all costs.
