"If you're afraid."
"It's not too late to leave now."
Wan Shanhan chuckled softly, his clear eyes contained neither pain nor shame, as calm as a clear mountain spring.
Sui Xue raised an eyebrow when she heard the voice, and asked, lightly touching his already bone-melting back with her fingertips.
"Will it hurt if I touch it like this?"
Wan Shanhan lowered his eyes and said calmly.
"It has nothing to do with whether you touch it or not. When the time comes for the bones to break down, the back will naturally hurt."
Sui Xue's fingertips gently brushed the white bones on his back and asked in a deep voice.
"Really...it doesn't hurt?"
Wan Shanhan clenched his fist and placed it to his lips, chuckled and said.
"It really doesn't hurt."
"I'm not someone who likes to show off. Since I said it doesn't hurt, it really doesn't hurt."
Feeling Sui Xue's soft fingertips touching his back, his heart softened. As if he was afraid that she would feel guilty after hearing it, he added.
"Don't blame yourself, Chief. Your touch doesn't displease me. On the contrary, it makes me feel very comfortable."
Sui Xue paused.
Comfortable?
She smiled without saying anything, but just pressed her entire palm against the white bones behind him.
"Comfortable? Is that so?"
My back feels warm.
His voice was trembling.
"Mm...it doesn't hurt. It's very comfortable."
[Wanshanhan Special Event: Difficult Hexagram of Destiny, Current Search Progress: 80%]
Hearing the system prompt, Sui Xue became more certain of her guess. Her mind raced as she began to think of ways to get the question out of him.
She had a sharp mind and was certain that the white bones on her back must be related to a special event.
What we need to do now is to press on with the victory and find a way to make Wan Shanhan let down his guard against us and reveal the secret behind bone transformation.
"Is there any way to relieve this?"
Sui Xue asked softly.
Hearing her soft voice, Wan Shanhan unconsciously let go of his worries and murmured.
"No."
"Every time my bones melt, my back aches with cold."
"At first, they would cover themselves with three layers of animal skins to keep warm and relieve cold cramps."
cold?
Is it actually a cold?
Since it's cold already, why live on top of the mountain? Wouldn't that be even more uncomfortable?
Feeling the stiffness of the person behind him, Wan Shanhan guessed the doubts in her heart and answered them.
"Because... I always hope to fight poison with poison and die sooner."
After saying that, he said lightly.
"That feeling of being in an ice cellar at any time and anywhere is very painful."
"Furthermore, at this rate of bone dissolution, within three years, my entire body will become a hole."
"Rather than watching myself become half-human, half-ghost, it would be better..."
"It would be better to die of cold on the mountaintop."
"Besides, Gao Ling is far from the tribe. Even if he died, his stink wouldn't affect you."
It was rare for Wan Shanhan to say so many words at once.
The cold voice rarely gained popularity, like pearls falling to the ground, continuing without interruption.
Sui Xue listened in silence.
To be honest, she is a person with little empathy and has always been cold-hearted.
After listening to what Wan Shanhan said, he simply frowned slightly, without much emotion in his heart.
Noticing something strange about the person behind him, Wan Shanhan smiled even more.
"If the leader is in trouble, there is no need to go to great lengths to comfort me."
He tilted his head slightly to the side.
"I have long been accustomed to this kind of life as a walking corpse. Since you are cold-hearted, there is no need to try to comfort me."
"Some words just can't be said. The only thing I want in the rest of my life is to keep myself warm..."
"But I'm afraid I can no longer achieve this pursuit."
As soon as the words fell.
Sui Xue lowered her eyes, and boldly put her arms around his waist, pressing her whole body against his back and holding him in her arms.
Wan Shanhan in his arms stiffened instantly.
His cheeks suddenly flushed, and he subconsciously tried to avoid the hug from the person behind him, but he heard the person say.
"What are you so nervous about, Mr. Wan?"
Sui Xue chuckled, her pretty eyebrows slightly curved.
"Didn't you say you wanted it to be warmer?"
"Sui Xue just wants to fulfill your wish and warm you a little bit, even if it's just a little bit."
After saying that, she hugged him tighter.
"Of course, if you don't like it, just tell me you don't want me to hold you, and I'll let you go."
She said this, but the strength in her arms continued to tighten.
Wan Shanhan felt the warm body of the person behind him and his breathing became disordered.
"I am..."
"I'm not used to such intimate contact with others. Besides, there's no special relationship between you and me. Isn't this a bit too much?"
Sui Xuefeng raised her eyes slightly, staring at him seriously while tidying up his hair.
"Sui Xue had no other intentions, nor did she intend to overstep the line."
"I just..."
As she spoke, she placed her chin on the crook of his neck, further testing his thoughts.
"I just don't want to leave you alone."
"You're so cold after all."
"It's too cold around you and where you live."
Wan Shanhan's struggling arms paused slightly.
A sigh followed.
"So what if I'm cold? I'm used to being alone."
"Besides, I'm almost dead, so I don't want to change anything."
His words were full of disgust at his miserable fate.
There is self-admiration and immersive emo, but the only thing he doesn't reject is Sui Xue.
Sui Xue was very perceptive and could see through his thoughts instantly. After secretly curling her lips, she simply leaned back behind him with confidence.
