They are already lovers, aren't they?
But these days, Xing Haodong is always worried about gains and losses.
Sometimes he even felt that Jiang Mingxin was just a figment of his imagination. She did not actually belong to this world. If he did not hold on to her tightly, she might leave at any time.
"Hiss, it hurts..." Jiang Mingxin panted softly and patted his arm, "Can you loosen up a little? You're holding me too tight."
Instead of letting go, Xing Haodong increased his strength.
Jiang Mingxin had just woken up from a nightmare, and the image of being tortured and in agony in his previous life was still lingering in his mind.
Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she grabbed his index finger without hesitation, pulling it in the opposite direction with great speed and force.
This explosive move instantly triggered Xing Haodong's defense mechanism. He used a small grappling move and a kick to clamp her hands and twist them behind her back, pressing her onto the bed.
In an instant, a murderous aura gushed out from her frail body, spreading like magma to her and Xing Haodong's entire bodies.
"You bastard, what are you going to do to me? Let me go, let me go!"
Looking at her scarlet and violent eyes, Xing Haodong was stunned and at a loss.
Did he hit too hard?
But if she hadn't suddenly attacked, how could he have fought back?
Jiang Mingxin roared hoarsely, "Fine, if you can't kill me, I'll pierce your eyes and rip out your tongue, making you live a life worse than death!"
Then he struggled frantically, trying to break free from Xing Haodong's restraints.
Seeing that her facial features suddenly became ferocious and her posture became crazy, as if she had lost her mind, Xing Haodong was even more afraid to let go.
"Mingxin, calm down! Open your eyes and see clearly, who am I?"
"Jiang Mingxin—wake up quickly!"
Jiang Mingxin vaguely saw a blood mist. It was the blood vessels in her legs that burst and were chopped into pieces by her senior brother with an axe, and the blood that splashed out solidified.
Her eyes had long been blurred, and the severe pain obscured her five senses.
She fought back with all her strength, trying to use her bone-shrinking skills to pull her hands out of the handcuffs, but the pain made her arms uncontrollable, and no matter how she struggled, it was in vain.
All I could do was watch myself being pushed step by step into the abyss of despair.
She clearly heard the sound of her shin bones being chopped off, cracking bit by bit, and then he threw her flesh and blood to the ground like pork in a slaughterhouse.
"You even own my life, and you still want to run away?"
"You went out and flirted with those men, stripped naked and seduced them?"
"Junior sister, why don't you understand? I am the only one in this world who loves you the most!"
Jiang Mingxin fell into chaos and gradually lost all consciousness.
She didn't know how long it was before she woke up in a sharp pain, looking at the snow-white ceiling with a dazed look in her eyes.
At first she couldn't remember what happened before she fainted, until that devilish voice sounded in her ears again.
"Junior sister, get up and have some porridge. This is your favorite seafood porridge. I specially added extra clams and washed them clean before putting them in... Oh, by the way, you can't eat spicy food now. Wait until your wound heals before eating."
Jiang Mingxin lay there like a walking corpse, without a trace of life.
"Be good and drink the porridge. I'll push you out to the yard to see the flowers tomorrow. Come, drink the porridge!"
His voice was noticeably higher in pitch and filled with suppressed anger. Seeing that she remained indifferent, he slammed the bowl to the ground fiercely with a bang.
"What else do you want from me? Am I not good enough to you? If I hadn't tried my best to protect you, you would have been sold to those old immortals in Longhu Mountain by Master and your eldest brother!"
Jiang Mingxin closed his eyes and had lost the will to live.
But he still refused to let her go. Every day, he would either force her to eat or hug her and cry.
Why are you crying?
Wasn't it him who had turned her into this half-human, half-ghost appearance? He had chopped off her legs and imprisoned her here, yet he kept saying he loved her.
She was like a fish caught in a net, unable even to die a quick death.
Countless times, she wanted to die together with her senior brother, but she failed every time.
All I got in return was further humiliation.
"Mingxin, look carefully, who am I?" Suddenly, a deafening voice woke her up.
She opened her eyes in fear and saw a burning and handsome face.
"Xing Hao...Dong."
"You finally woke up, thank God." Xing Haodong immediately let go of her arms, picked her up and held her in his arms. However, this time he was extra careful and did not dare to use too much strength. He just hugged her lightly.
Jiang Mingxin took a few deep breaths and finally felt alive again.
She shook her head vigorously, and after several minutes, she finally got rid of the nightmare completely.
Why did she suddenly have a nightmare?
Jiang Mingxin frowned hard.
Xing Haodong reached out and tried to smooth out the wrinkles between her eyebrows, but he couldn't. "Do you know what day this is?"
Jiang Mingxin was still feeling palpitations, and subconsciously grabbed his fingers, "Second, I'm awake. I'm sorry for just now."
She didn't know why she suddenly became like this and felt deeply guilty.
However, she actually woke up for a moment, but because Xing Haodong hugged her too tightly, it evoked her bad memories and she let the nightmare control her again.
Xing Haodong held her carefully, with only tenderness in his deep eyes.
"What nightmare frightened you like this?"
Jiang Mingxin smiled bitterly and curled his lips: "It's probably like dreaming that my legs were chopped off with an axe. I can't live, and I can't die."
