Shi Xi escaped from Di Chenxiao's embrace and slipped away to the farthest place from him—the corner of the wall.
With his hands behind his back, he looked guilty, his eyes darting around but never looking at Di Chenxiao behind the door.
"It's just a little bit of blood, it won't cause any harm. Just consider it me doing a good deed by donating blood!"
Di Chenxiao was sullen and angry. He first carried Shi Xi from the corner to the bed and applied medicine to her.
She changed the gauze on her arms and legs, then sat on the bed, her eyes filled with self-reproach, her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
Shi Xi quietly, slowly, and at a snail's pace moved behind Di Chenxiao, wrapped her arms around his neck, and lay down behind him.
"It's alright! You haven't said you missed me since we met. Did you get snatched away by some other vixen while I was away?"
He sighed softly, helplessly holding the little figure on his back in his arms. It was so tiny; he would have to make sure it was well-fed up once they got out.
"You alone have already exhausted me, both physically and mentally. If there are a few more, I can't handle it."
"You...you put me down. Wasn't I good? Wasn't I disobedient? You even said I exhausted you, are you tired of me? Are you...um..."
Di Chenxiao used the most effective method to shut Shi Xi up, and the result was obviously very good.
Shi Xi was almost sent to heaven by Di Chenxiao's kiss; she almost suffocated!
She gasped for breath, then said, "Could you at least give me a heads-up before you kiss me? I could be ready."
If this happens a few more times, she'll really be going to die!
His already gloomy face became even gloomier. Was his kissing skill really that bad?
If Shi Xi knew what he was thinking, she would definitely nod and say, "Very bad, extremely bad!"
After her outburst, Di Chenxiao's mood was no longer as gloomy as before.
Getting back to the main point, Shi Xi asked, "Are you ready to rescue me? When are we going to get out?"
Di Chenxiao: "...Wait."
"wait?"
"As soon as I found out that he had drawn your blood, I didn't care about anything else and rushed over. But Bai Yanlang is guarding outside, so we should be able to make our move tonight."
Shi Xizhen didn't know what to say to him. He came here alone, just because she was having her blood drawn!
He was willing to wait for someone who might never appear, and he waited for thirteen long years. It's truly heartbreaking.
She couldn't bear waiting for Di Chenxiao for thirteen days back then, let alone thirteen years.
"fool."
Di Chenxiao ruffled Shi Xi's hair, "I'm willing to be a fool."
"Don't rub my hair, I didn't wash it last night."
Shi Xi pouted and tidied her hair.
"Don't be so silly next time. By the way, how did you know I would come back?"
Di Chenxiao's eyes darkened, and he said, "Someone told me you would come back."
“One day, you were drinking behind Uncle Chong’s back and got drunk. You were too scared to go home, so you asked me to take you to a hotel. When you were drunk, you told me that you were not from this world, and that this world was a novel you had read.”
Do people speak the truth when they're drunk?
She thought that there were no secrets between her and Di Chenxiao, but it turns out that it was the alcohol that made her think!
"What will you do if you don't wait for me?"
"Before my thirtieth birthday, I will go to Whale Fall Island and live out my life."
Shi Xi stared blankly at Di Chenxiao, lost in thought. Before his thirtieth birthday, wasn't that the ending given to him in the book—an ending from which nothing could be found?
"Xiao Xiao, even if I hadn't appeared, you shouldn't have... ruined your life like this. Chong Xi was just your white moonlight in your youth; your cinnabar mole will appear in your life later."
