Ye Jinwu, in a daze, supported her weak body and went to the bathroom to turn on the shower, trying to wash away the humiliation on her body.
The cold water poured from the top of her head onto her body, but she didn't feel cold at all, because the chill in her heart had already numbed her senses.
She didn't know how long it had been before she turned off the shower. Her body shivered and a chill made the blood in her body almost freeze. Then she realized that she had forgotten to turn on the hot water.
She dragged her heavy body onto the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
In the dark and cramped storage room, bodies pressed tightly together, breathing intertwined with each other, panting in an ambiguous and intertwined way, and lips and tongues entangled in a domineering way...
Those scenes are lingering in my mind.
Her body seemed to still retain the feeling of the man's reckless stay. She felt cold all over. Thinking that she had actually provoked such a man who was full of murderous sins and holding a butcher knife, cold sweat kept coming out of her body.
Gradually, she just felt cold.
It feels like being in an ice cellar.
I was in a daze, tossing and turning in bed, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Awu, Awu..." In a daze, she seemed to hear someone calling her.
Ye Jinwu propped up her heavy eyelids and opened her eyes drowsily. Her confused gaze met Ye Wan's concerned eyes.
"Awu, you're finally awake." A relieved smile appeared on Ye Wan's face.
"Awan..." Ye Jinwu opened her mouth and called softly, only to find that her throat was dry and painful. The sound she made was like torn silk, hoarse and unpleasant, and it was even difficult for her to speak.
She was still completely bewildered.
Ye Wan supported her and fed her a glass of water.
The warm water slid down her throat, and her dry throat felt much better: "Awan, what's wrong with me?"
She only remembered that she seemed to have taken a bath and then fell asleep on the bed. This sleep was not a good one. She tossed and turned over, and the only thing she had in mind was the man named Si Yuanzhen.
She couldn't remember exactly what she dreamed about.
However, the feeling of panic and fear in the dream is still fresh in her memory.
She didn't understand why Si Yuanzhen wanted to mess with her. She didn't want to have anything to do with that man at all.
"Awu, you are sick, with a high fever of 39 degrees. You were unconscious for a whole night. Thanks to a kind man who arranged a doctor for you, your fever has only just subsided." Ye Wan put a pillow behind her back and let her lean on the bed. Looking at her pale and haggard face, she sighed slightly: "Awu, you really scared me to death."
Yesterday, Awu didn't go to the fourth floor to eat. She thought she had gone out. Later, the hotel proprietress casually mentioned it to her and she realized that she had stayed in the room all day. So she planned to come and see her, but she kept knocking on the door, but no one answered.
At this moment, a kind-hearted man happened to pass by the door and kicked it open. At that time, Awu had a fever and was unconscious. She was talking incoherently, which really scared her. She was at a loss for a moment. Thanks to the kind-hearted man, he called the doctor and he arrived at the hospital in less than ten minutes.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
After hearing what happened, Ye Jinwu realized that so many things had happened that night. Her head was still numb, her forehead ached slightly, and her whole body felt weak and slightly sore. It seemed that she was indeed very ill last night.
Ye Wan held her somewhat cold hand and asked, "Awu, why did you suddenly get sick?"
She felt a little puzzled. When she saw Awu yesterday, there was nothing wrong with her body. How come she suddenly had a high fever without any warning
Ye Jinwu was stunned for a moment, somewhat avoiding Ye Wan's concerned gaze, lowered her head and whispered, "Maybe when I took a shower last night, the water temperature was a little too cold."
She didn't deliberately conceal the deception.
However, Si Yuanzhen was an extremely dangerous man, someone she wanted to avoid as much as possible. Everything that happened in the dark and narrow utility room on the stairwell yesterday was humiliating to her.
Ye Wan looked at her inquiringly, then changed the subject and said with a smile, "So that's how it is! You're already so old, but you're still so confused."
The doctor had told her before that Awu had had a fever for at least four or five hours, and if it had not been discovered early, it would have been fatal. That means she started having a fever in the afternoon.
It was obvious that she was lying.
Faced with Ye Wan's gentle and concerned voice, Ye Jinwu felt extremely guilty. She and A Wan had known each other for so many years, and she had never lied to her.
For a moment, she lowered her head, not daring to look her in the eye.
Seeing her like this, Ye Wan didn't want to force her, but she was very worried. Only a few days after arriving in Yunnan, she found that Awu had become a little strange.
Including the crudely carved wooden hairpin and this fever, this was the second time he had lied to her.
"Knock, knock, knock—" There was a sudden knock on the door.
Ye Wan patted her hands and said, "I'll go open the door."
Ye Jinwu's pale and helpless little face suddenly relaxed and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Soon, Ye Wan came over with a tall and upright man.
The man wore a thin black casual sweater on his upper body and linen pants of the same color on his lower body. He had shed all his arrogance and murderousness, and exuded an indelible and incomparable nobility, elegance, and leisure from head to toe.
Like a cat of noble breed and laziness.
Ye Jinwu raised her head and suddenly looked into a pair of eyes that were as bottomless as the abyss. Those eyes seemed to have a whirlpool that swept her in and made her unable to escape.
The remaining color in her face faded away in an instant.
Si Yuanzhen!
It’s actually him!
It's so haunting.
Si Yuanzhen seemed to understand the emotions in her eyes. He stood behind Ye Wan and grinned at her, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth.
Ye Jinwu became even more frightened, and her frail body couldn't help but tremble.
In her eyes, Si Yuanzhen at this moment was like a lazy and leisurely big cat, which suddenly showed its sharp claws to its prey.
One instantly realizes that this is a sleepy tiger, not a gentle and harmless cat.
Ye Wan didn't notice the undercurrent between them. She just smiled and introduced Ye Jinwu: "Awu, this is Mr. Si I told you about before. He helped a lot last night. You must thank him."
