◎But he seemed drunk.◎
In the pitch-black darkness, the girl's soft little hand had quietly moved up the man's leg, little by little.
She couldn't see, so she could only grope for her location. What she said just now was not to ask for his opinion, but merely to inform him.
The eldest daughter is so domineering, how could she not get what she wants?
Moreover, she felt that she and Pei Ji had a life-long friendship, and there was no way she would fall in love with Pei Ji, a cripple, so she did not have to abide by the "Fei Yi" rule of not getting close to other men.
Everything fell into place.
"what you do!?"
The next moment, a deep male voice sounded quickly, and the outstretched hand was grabbed by a strong big hand, with the slender five fingers tightly clasping her wrist.
"Hey, what are you doing Pei Ji? My hand hurts."
As soon as An Jiu screamed, the hand that was tightly holding her subconsciously loosened and lightened the force.
"I haven't agreed yet, you are not allowed to sit on it." Pei Ji's tone was almost gritting his teeth.
This woman, this woman, how could she be so shameless!
The girl paused, and said as if she had discovered a new world: "Hey, are you shy?"
"No." Pei Ji's voice was slightly cold.
"Then why didn't you let me touch you just now?" Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her voice rose, "Pei Ji, is your leg getting better?"
When the girl said this, her voice was filled with pure joy. No matter who was here, they could hear how happy she was.
Pei Ji looked at her with a complicated expression. She squatted beside him. Perhaps she felt cold, and unconsciously leaned against his legs like a little mushroom.
His legs got better, and she was so happy about it?
"Can you feel your legs now?" The girl didn't care when she didn't get a response and asked excitedly.
Pei Ji habitually answered: "No."
"How is that possible? I don't believe it!" As he spoke, An Jiu stretched out his claws and landed on his legs.
The girl's hands were soft and boneless, like a warm cloud. She pinched his calf and asked expectantly, "Do you feel it?"
Pei Ji kept saying, "No."
"How could this be..." An Jiu murmured. She had used pinching and hammering, but her legs were still the same as before, motionless and without any reaction.
"Pei Ji, did you practice that skill?"
At the end of the experiment, the girl sounded frustrated and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"I've refined it...but it's probably useless to me." Pei Ji replied slowly.
"how so……"
The girl was extremely disappointed, her voice full of depression. She sat on the ground with her legs hugged, not complaining about the icy ground. She just sat there blankly, her little shadow revealing a sense of sadness.
In the darkness, Pei Ji's eyes were always on her.
The girl's loss didn't seem fake. Did she really want him to get better?
As I was deep in thought, my ears suddenly caught a small inhalation sound, as if someone was sniffing hard.
At the same time, the girl's low voice slowly came.
"This is my first time in jail... Pei Ji, do you think we will never be able to get out?"
It seems that she is also afraid. I thought she was really so carefree and not afraid of being locked up at all.
Seeing her calm down, Pei Ji closed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "No, we can get out after Buddhist disciple Feichen finds out the truth."
The girl was still immersed in a depressed mood, and murmured weakly: "The truth..."
She buried her head deeper into her knees, as if she was avoiding something.
"The one who stole the things...was he..."
The barely audible voice floated in the air and disappeared in an instant without any wind.
Pei Ji didn't hear clearly what she said, nor did he care.
Because he thought of another more urgent matter: tomorrow would be the full moon night.
In other words, he will be poisoned again tomorrow.
But he is still imprisoned in the ordination hall, and he doesn't know when Feichen will let them go.
The man lowered his eyes silently, and the pair of deep eyes under his long eyelashes seemed even deeper in the silent night.
An Jiu originally thought that they would be able to get out soon, but unexpectedly, no one came to interrogate them.
They seemed to be forgotten, locked in a small room without sunlight, with nothing to do except stay quietly.
Even though it was daytime, the room was dark, almost night.
If someone didn't deliver meals to the door at a certain time every day, An Jiu would not be able to tell the difference between day and night.
Sometimes when she needs to go to the bathroom, she can just shout and someone will take her to the toilet nearby, but they will also be followed and monitored the whole time to ensure that they cannot escape.
An Jiu calculated the frequency of their meals and found out that they had been locked up for a whole day.
Soon it was the next night, and the darkness obscured her vision. An Jiu sat next to Pei Ji's wheelchair just like she did the night before.
For some reason, Pei Ji was particularly silent today.
As night fell, he said no more and ate only a little dinner. He then sat quietly in his wheelchair with his eyes closed as if he was taking a nap.
At first, An Jiu didn't realize the problem until she accidentally touched his hanging fingertips and felt the piercing coldness, then she realized that something seemed wrong.
"System, what time is it now?" A guess emerged in her mind and she quickly asked in her mind.
The system's electronic voice sounded without any fluctuation: [May 15th.]
It's the fifteenth! The night of the full moon!
There were no mobile phones or calendars in ancient times. An Jiu spent his days not knowing what day it was, so he didn't pay any attention to this.
"My goodness, why didn't you remind me on such an important day?" She questioned the system in her mind.
This crappy system is of no help, but can it please not hold us back?
[The host did not give any instructions.]
An Jiu was so moved by the intelligence of the garbage system that she almost cried: "Okay, okay, if you encounter something like this next time, remember to tell me the first time!"
【OK. 】
The communication with the system was brief. An Jiu quickly came to his senses, followed the cold fingers and whispered worriedly, "Pei Ji? What's wrong with you?"
The man who would be grabbed and restrained if he touched him before, showed no reaction today.
The slender hand hanging down was icy cold, without any warmth, like a lifeless ice sculpture.
In the dim light, she couldn't see his appearance, so she had to move closer to see his condition.
"Pei Ji? Are you sick?"
The girl's voice was delicate, like a faint thread that penetrated through the thick mist and penetrated into the heart, quietly taking root there.
Pei Ji's mind was in a daze and he slowly opened his eyelids.
There was darkness and endless silence all around, but a snow-white and flawless little face appeared before my eyes.
In this dark night, it seems to be glowing.
A pair of bright and charming peach blossom eyes on her little face were looking at him wide open, with concern in her eyes.
"Pei Ji? Pei Ji? Say something, what's wrong with you?"
The soft lips opened and closed, exhaling warm and moist air, which brought out a faint and strange fragrance.
Pei Ji's thinking was becoming increasingly slow, the poison had begun to take effect, waves of subtle pain rising up like a tide, ready to engulf him and drag him into the darkness without a ray of light.
But at this moment, he heard her voice.
In the past, he would let himself lose consciousness. But today, a young girl woke him up from the darkness.
Perhaps because there was no response for a long time, the girl's voice gradually trembled: "Pei Ji, don't scare me, are you sick? I, I will go call people, I will ask them to let you out..."
She spoke incoherently and turned to leave. The next second, a cold hand grabbed the girl's slender wrist.
The fingertips exerted force and pulled her back.
Due to the effect of the poison, he could not control his strength for a moment. The girl staggered backwards and lost her balance. With a cry of "Ah", she fell straight into his arms.
With the weight pressing down on him, Pei Ji suddenly let out a muffled groan from his throat.
The man was already enduring severe pain, and this made it even worse. He panted for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice: "Don't go, don't go and call for help."
"But...but you are..."
It was the first time the girl saw such a scene and she was completely terrified.
She couldn't see him, but she could feel the man's tense body with her fingers, the cold sweat sliding down his forehead, and she could hear his rapid, heavy breathing, like a dying animal.
"Are you really okay like this?" Her voice was filled with tears.
He was afraid that she would go out to find someone, and he would no longer be able to hide the fact that he was poisoned. This was unbearable for Pei Ji, and he could not expose his weakness.
He loosened his grip on her wrist and simply wrapped his arms around the girl's waist, trapping her completely in his arms.
"Don't worry... It's just an old problem. I have a chronic illness. It's not a big deal..."
It was a simple sentence, but he paused for a long time before finishing it.
The panting in her ears became more intense. The girl felt a little uncomfortable and put her hands on the man's chest and moved her body back.
The posture of the two now was that An Jiu was sitting diagonally on the man's lap, with one arm around her waist, his large palm pressing on her back, trapping her in his arms.
His chin rested on her forehead, his head lowered, and his heavy breathing hit her ears.
This distance was too close for the girl. Even though she felt she had no feelings for him, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting hot.
"Pei, Pei Ji, let me go. I won't go looking for anyone."
The girl's soft little hand pressed on his chest, and a weak pushing force came. Pei Ji's confused mind thought for a moment before he realized what she said.
He should have let go of her hand. They were too close. It wasn't right.
However, his hands seemed to have their own consciousness and were still firmly attached to the girl's slender waist.
Don't want to leave.
A voice sounded in my heart.
If I wanted to hug her and kiss her, it wouldn't be so painful.
A voice came from nowhere and said this to him.
Pei Ji was in a trance, recalling the chaos that occurred that night when he first arrived at Golden Snake Villa.
During this period of time, he deliberately avoided thinking about it, and buried it deep in his heart, thinking that he had forgotten it long ago.
However, that night, deeply buried memories surged out uncontrollably.
In a daze, he suddenly smelled the rich and intoxicating fragrance of peach blossoms and saw the shadows of peach blossoms.
"Um... Pei Ji, what are you doing!"
When he regained consciousness, his lips were soft and warm. The girl in his arms was struggling, her black eyes were wide open, and her little face was full of shock.
He forgot that this time, she was sober, she was not drunk.
But he seemed drunk.
