"You're crazy. Living is the most important thing. Once you're dead, you have nothing."
Lin Xihe shouted hoarsely. In her heart, living was the foundation of everything, so no matter how unpleasant things were, she never thought of taking her own life.
"Are you afraid I'll die?" Gu Qinghuai couldn't hide his emotion.
"Don't even mention it. I feel bad even when a dog dies on the street. Can't you take your antidote first? Can't we talk this out?"
Lin Xihe was extremely anxious and tightly gripped Gu Qinghuai's arm. At this moment, she could clearly see fine beads of sweat seeping out from Gu Qinghuai's forehead.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qinghuai's brows furrowed tightly, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
“My body might not be able to withstand the effects of this medicine, so…” Gu Qinghuai’s voice grew more urgent, tinged with difficulty, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, as if he was trying to suppress the surging effects of the medicine within him: “Can you tell me, who exactly are you?”
“I…I am Lin Xihe.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghuai's lips curled into a barely perceptible bitter smile, a soft laugh that carried an endless sorrow.
At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and cold sweat rolled down his face like beans, soaking his collar.
"Where is the antidote? Where is the antidote?" Lin Xihe panicked completely.
Gu Qinghuai turned his face away in a huff, but his hand, pressed against his chest, was breathing rapidly and heavily.
"Say something! Where's the antidote? If you keep acting like this, I'll never see you again!"
Lin Xihe's eyes were red and swirling with tears. She thought about letting Gu Qinghuai go, but her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Gu Qinghuai shook off Lin Xihe's hand, picked up the brocade box, and staggered to his bed.
Seeing this, Lin Xihe also stubbornly covered her head with the blanket, trying to shut out all the chaos.
But in just a moment, she became impatient and yanked the blanket off, not even bothering to put on her shoes and socks, and ran barefoot to Gu Qinghuai's bed.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Gu Qinghuai's complexion, which had only shown slight improvement a few days ago, now turning ashen and bloodless, Lin Xihe was completely convinced of the potency of the medicine.
"Go ahead and die in pain. If you die, I'll never think of you again." Lin Xihe bit her lip, tears finally streaming down her face, but she still tried to sound tough.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghuai wiped the sweat from his forehead, a resolute glint in his eyes, and uttered a single word with difficulty: "Okay."
Then, he reached into the brocade box, took out the last pill, and without even looking at it, stuffed it into his mouth.
"You're a madman!"
Lin Xihe never expected that Gu Qinghuai would be even more ruthless than her, who was already in so much pain, and still wanted to force her in this way.
Gu Qinghuai gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty, "Are you... are you going to tell me now? Or do you want to tell me at my grave?"
