When I looked up, I understood, but felt a hint of anger.
“No – that gentleman – he – he-” Xiao Wu’s face became even more crimson, stammering, clearly nervous, constantly wringing her hands and shuffling her feet.
I suddenly turned serious, staring at her face unblinkingly.
“Xiao Wu, I think you should know the crime of privately communicating with a man. Even I, an eight or nine-year-old child, understand this. Don’t you get it?” In her daze, tears of grievance filled her eyes, her face instantly turning pale, her whole body struggling to suppress trembling.
“Young lady, it’s not what you think, the gentleman he—” She tried to explain, forcing back the tears in her eyes, biting her lips from grievance.
I secretly sighed – silly Xiao Wu, I’m just worried about you. How could you give your heart to a random man?
Before I could speak, a painful, suppressed roar broke through the air, an explosive “Ah” resonating, shaking the heartstrings with unmistakable hidden pain and unexpressed emotions.
Hearing his painful sounds, I looked at Xiao Wu in shock. From his moans, I could clearly hear the contained suffering.
“What’s wrong with him?” I asked, surprised, not expecting the poison to be this severe. Anxiety began to grow in my heart, though my face remained calm.
“Young lady, I was just about to tell you about the gentleman’s poison outbreak. The poison he’s contracted is truly bizarre!” Her tears fell, her mouth aggrieved, her whole body shivering and sobbing.
“Let’s go see him. I don’t want him dying here,” I grabbed Xiao Wu’s hand and rushed to the man’s bedroom, my steps becoming chaotic. His moans grew heavier and more hoarse, the hidden pain increasingly intense, as if he would suffocate the next moment.
When we reached the room, it was already a mess. The man had not spared any items, desperately destroying things, filling the room with a deadly atmosphere.
However, I could clearly see the hidden pain in his eyes, and the flame at the bottom of his eyes was frightening.
The originally black toxic gas on his face had dissipated, replaced by a burning red desire.
Obviously, he had been struggling against the poison, constantly writhing and choking in pain.
