When Xu Tingchuan heard Ni Sitian say that she had already received the antidote, a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand to touch Ni Sitian's cheek, his voice hoarse and joyful: "That's wonderful."
Ni Sitian held his hand, gently rubbed her cheek against his palm, and said with a smile, "Then you should get better soon too."
"Hmm." Knowing that her life was not in danger, he felt relieved and the pain in his body did not feel so bad.
Ni Sitian lowered her eyes, not daring to look into his eyes. She hadn't told the truth. He was so happy; she couldn't even imagine what would happen if his happiness was shattered.
"What's wrong?" Xu Tingchuan felt that Ni Sitian was acting a little strange, so he asked.
Ni Sitian was afraid he would notice, so she quickly changed the subject and talked about not finding Su Yan on the mountain last night, asking him what had happened.
Xu Tingchuan thought that the storm had passed and there was no harm in telling Ni Sitian about what had happened back then, so he told her everything.
When Ni Sitian heard Su Yan kick the box away and he jumped down to grab it without a second thought, her pupils constricted. What was the situation down the ravine? He couldn't see anything at night, yet he still foolishly jumped down. If he died from the fall, what would be the point of her getting the antidote?
"Fortunately, it's all in the past now." Seeing her eyes were red, Xu Tingchuan gently stroked her cheek and smiled slightly.
Ni Sitian didn't cry. She sniffed, gave Xu Tingchuan a smile, and echoed, "Yes, it's all in the past. Let's all be well from now on."
"By the way, Su Yan drugged Su Chengwen, and she admitted it last night." Xu Tingchuan was even more shocked by this than by Su Yan killing Li Rui. After all, Su Chengwen was her biological father. How could she do such a thing after more than twenty years of father-daughter relationship?
"She'll get her comeuppance. Let's not concern ourselves with other people's business." Ni Sitian wanted to focus on the two of them in the little time they had left and not let other things distract them.
"Well, let Mu Zhi handle the aftermath." Xu Tingchuan reached out and pulled Ni Sitian into his arms, letting her face press against his waist and abdomen. He played with Ni Sitian's small, full earlobe with his fingers and chuckled, "They say that fleshy earlobes are auspicious for good fortune and longevity. It seems that they are right."
Ni Sitian leaned close to him, her head slightly lowered, and gave a bitter smile, but sweetly replied, "Of course, being able to marry you is the greatest blessing."
Xu Tingchuan chuckled, pinched her ear, looked down at the whorl of hair on her head, and said with a smile, "Why are you so sweet-talking?"
"It's not just sweet talk, I'm serious." Ni Sitian felt that she had used up all her luck to meet him and fall in love with him.
It's just a pity that they couldn't stay together.
"Let me test whether it's sweet talk or sincerity." Xu Tingchuan reached out and lifted Ni Sitian's chin, turning her face towards him.
He was having some difficulty bending down, so Ni Sitian simply went up to him and kissed his lips.
Afraid that he might feel short of breath after such a long kiss, she sucked on his lips briefly before letting go, raising an eyebrow at him and asking, "So now you know whether I'm just sweet-talking or genuinely sincere?"
"How would you know if I haven't even touched your heart yet?" Xu Tingchuan said, making a gesture as if to reach for her chest.
"You're already lying in a hospital bed, and you're still being indecent!" Ni Sitian slapped his hand away in embarrassment.
