Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Suddenly, the blood-red color that had just receded in Ye Nanshen’s eyes surged again. His previously gentle breaths became rapid, and a ruthless glint flickered in his crimson eyes.
Rong Qi could feel the change in Ye Nanshen, so she reached out to pat his back gently, trying to calm him down. However, at this moment, Ye Nanshen suddenly called out a name, “Yuyan, Gu Yuyan…”
Rong Qi’s eyes widened in shock, and her hand that was soothing him stopped abruptly as a tear slid down from the corner of her eye.
‘How ironic! I had thought he cared about me, but it turned out that there was another person in his mind. Why? I, Rong Qi, is not someone else’s shadow!’ Rong Qi thought.
Rong Qi bit her lip, trying to push Ye Nanshen on top of her away, but she was out of strength and could only let Ye Nanshen continue.
It was already noon the next day when Ye Nanshen awoke. As soon as he opened his eyes, he noticed Lu Chengzhou’s face leaning very close.
“Shen, you finally woke up! It’s incredible; it’s almost one o’clock in the afternoon now! You slept for nearly thirteen hours!” Lu Chengzhou exaggeratedly exclaimed.
Ye Nanshen drew his brows furiously. He felt as if his entire strength had been stolen from him, leaving him exhausted and hungry. He appeared to be recovering from a major sickness, with a pale skin and lips devoid of color, and he appeared terribly feeble.
Lu Chengzhou had already prepared congee for him and helped him sit up to eat it.
Suddenly, Ye Nanshen’s hand touched a silver needle. Although the room had been tidied up, there was still a lingering atmosphere of ambiguity on the bed.
Ye Nanshen abruptly lifted the blanket and indeed saw a touch of crimson on the bed. He knew that it definitely was not his blood.
“What happened?” Ye Nanshen’s lips trembled, and he did not know why a nameless fear washed over him.
The touch of crimson on the bed stung Ye Nanshen’s eyes, and he could not believe what he might have done during his illness and memory loss.
Lu Chengzhou held the congee, looking puzzled as he watched Ye Nanshen’s face change suddenly. Images of Rong Qi’s cold and exhausted appearance when she left flashed in his mind.
Rong Qi had said not to tell Ye Nanshen about her visit; otherwise, she would tell Ye Nanshen that they had threatened her to come here to die.
When Rong Qi said that, Gu Ziye immediately got angry and sarcastically said that they would never reveal her secret and told her to leave without worries.
It seemed unfair to Lu Chengzhou to leave a young girl alone inside. Now that she had been mistreated, she refused to let them speak about it, leaving him with no alternative but to remain silent.
When they returned later, they discovered Ye Nanshen had already fallen asleep. He was snugly wrapped in the blanket, and Lu Chengzhou stayed by his side with rea.s.surance after checking his pulse and confirming that his condition had stabilized.
They had no idea what had happened after they had left. They imagined Ye Nanshen had beaten Rong Qi and were embarra.s.sed to bring it up.
Lu Chengzhou leaned in and asked, “Shen, what did you see that shocked you so much? Let me take a look.”
Ye Nanshen pushed his head away, his expression cold and indifferent. “When 1 had my episode, besides you guys, did anyone else come?”
Lu Chengzhou scratched his head and said, “Someone did come, to deliver medicine to you.”
‘I knew it. Someone else had come…’ Ye Nanshen thought. He narrowed his eyes, hiding the silver needle he had touched into his sleeve.
‘Was it Shanon? Could it be that I had been with Shanon? 1 remembered that during the last time, Gu Ziye also said I was frivolous with Shanon, and this time, I had slept with Shanon. d.a.m.n it! Why didn’t 1 control myself?’ Ye Nanshen thought and blamed himself..
