As soon as Grandma Moon showed her face, my heart was in pain like a knife scraping. I collapsed on the ground, without even the strength to groan. Didn’t I already take the hundred-poison antidote? How could it not work? Could that despicable demon Xiao Chen Yue be right that he’s the only one who has the antidote for this poison in the world?
Xiao Chen Yue quickly walked over, took out a bright red pill from his waist pouch – identical to yesterday’s – and stuffed it into my mouth. I swallowed it, and the pain immediately disappeared. Am I really destined to stay with this demon forever? He picked me up and carried me to my room.
He gently laid me on the bed, covered me with a blanket, and softly caressed my cheek. “Seems like I’ll need to feed you medicine in time next time; otherwise, seeing you in such pain would break my heart.” If I had the strength, I’d want to slap him. If you truly cared, you wouldn’t have poisoned me in the first place!
When will these days end? Shang, please come and save me…
I suddenly remembered something, threw off the blanket, and started searching frantically: “Ah, where is it?!” I exclaimed in shock, then wanted to slap myself. Xiao Chen Yue was still smiling: “Darling, what’s wrong? Did you lose something?”
Stay calm: “Hehe, no, nothing. I’m… feeling itchy…” Xiao Chen Yue laughed and tapped my nose, “Darling, lying is not good behavior.” I dodged, “Okay, okay, I’ll tell the truth. I did lose something. It’s all your fault for poisoning me, making me lose something so important.”
I burned the letter after reading it, fearing someone might discover it. I threw myself onto the big bed, not bothering to take off my clothes, stretching out in exhaustion. The next day, Xiao Wanyue came to bother me, claiming she wanted to cultivate a relationship with her future sister-in-law. Looking at her eager expression made me want to roll up my sleeve and slap her.
“Sister-in-law, how did you meet my brother?” she asked sweetly, making me feel like a piece of steak about to be devoured. “Gulp.” That was me swallowing nervously. “Well… it’s complicated. You could say it was thanks to a banana. -_-!”
