The Correct Way Of Feeding The Sick And Delicate Villain - Chapter 74

I Count on You to Protect Me (1)

No one was here?

Ding Yi frowned and walked inside while touching the stone wall. Although the stone cave looked exquisite, in fact it was icy inside, as if there was cold air coming out of the ice cave. The further you went into the cave, the colder it would be.

Ding Yi held her arms and continuously rubbed them. As she walked, she was shouting: “Yueshi? Where are you?”

She walked to the stone pier and stopped, looking around without seeing him. She started to feel a little anxious.

Would it be that he suffered from a breakdown from suppressing and had gone mad?

Ding Yi was worried, and she slipped without noticing the moss under her feet. However, before she fell into a pool of water, a strong wind swept in, and someone slowly hugged her from the back.

A few drops of water splattered on her neck, seeping into her heart, and it was ice-cold.

Ding Yi heard a hoarse and low voice from behind her with extreme huskiness, “Your injury has not healed. You shouldn’t be here.”

Mu Yueshi’s eyes were deep and gloomy, and he detected a faint smell of medicinal herbs from her body. His complexion suddenly paled, and he let go of her in a panic.

Do not touch her.

Ding Yi was overjoyed, hurriedly grabbed his arm and turned around.

Yet, she was shocked when she saw Mu Yueshi completely drenched in front of her. His complexion was pale, barefooted, just like he was crumbling.

Ding Yi asked in a tight voice: “You… What’s wrong with you? Why are you drenched all over?”

Mu Yueshi’s expression was slightly stagnant, backing away from her with cautious and forbearance. He lowered his eyes sadly, and said softly: “It’s just meditation. I’m fine.”

“How did you meditate…” Ding Yi felt something was wrong. She paused, glanced at the cold pool of water, and stayed silent.

She quietly gritted her teeth: “Don’t tell me that you’ve been meditating in the water for the past five days?”

Mu Yueshi stiffly stood in place, his soft eyelashes slightly trembled, and softly said a ‘Yes’ word.

Ding Yi was angered till she was lightheaded, grabbed his hand, and said, “What are you doing there?” Don’t you know how cold the pool is? Ancestor, the pool is to wake up those who have gone mad! Why are you dipping in it?”

She rubbed his hands for him while feeling distressed.

His hands were as cold as ice.

“Come on, put on your shoes. Let’s go back. “Ding Yi pulled him, wanting to leave, but she did not know what was wrong with Mu Yueshi, he remained motionless.

Her eyes were full of doubts. Mu Yueshi’s face was awkward and pale. Even his voice was tight, “I can’t go back.”

Ding Yi was utterly stunned, but she understood Mu Yueshi. He would never say such willful things. The reason for him to refuse to go back was probably because of the unexpected appearance of the Demon Lord!

Thinking about that, her heart started beating heavily, and she hesitated: “Do you…remember what happened in the bamboo house?”

Mu Yueshi’s complexion changed drastically, and his eyes instantly became extremely hostile, with anger and murderous intent gathered in his eyes, “He actually wants to kill you! That’s unforgivable, he…”

Halfway through speaking, his angry voice suddenly weakened.

Mu Yueshi blankly stared at his hand, and murmured: “Even so, I was the one who did it… I deserve to die too!” There was a trace of self-abandonment in his eyes.

Ding Yi felt things were not looking good. Before the gloomy Mu Yueshi made any actions, she hurriedly pulled his scarred palm over and comforted: “It’s not you, it’s not you. It has nothing to do with you. Didn’t you see that I’m fine now? Come, come over.”

Mu Yueshi stood still with his fists tightly clenched. His gaze was as if there was a hint of cautiously wanting to get closer but was afraid to do so.

Ding Yi really could not see him like that at all, making her heart soft.

Then she sighed softly in her heart. The boss did not go astray now, everything was fine, but his psychological isolation was really unchangeable!

So Ding Yi took the initiative to walk over. Initially, she wanted to touch his head to comfort him just like when he was a kid, but when she stood in front of him, she realized that she was actually a bit shorter than him.

Her outstretched hand was awkwardly retracted, so she naturally gave the stubborn teenager an empathetic and warm hug.

Ding Yi patted him on the back and softly said: “I didn’t even cry. Don’t be sad anymore, and stop torturing yourself. To be honest, it’s so cold here that I’m shivering. Let’s go back, okay?”

She hugged Mu Yueshi, his shoulders stiffened.

His rapid heartbeat echoed in his ears. His patient voice was hoarse, and he gritted his teeth: “But I will hurt you. If that person…appears, it will put you in danger.”

If that was the case, he might as well die.

Ding Yi suddenly laughed when she heard him say that, then she deliberately used a serious tone and said: “Yes, so I will rely on you to protect me from now on. Cheer up!”

Mu Yueshi was taken aback as though a pinch of flame spread from his back to his heart. Feeling like something melted in his heart and burned which was extremely hot.

Ding Yi saw that he did not speak for a long time, so she asked in a soft voice: “Will you come back with me?”

After a while, Mu Yueshi meekly said: “Okay.”

Ding Yi smiled with relief. Just like when he was a child, she took his hand and went out.

Perhaps she did not notice at all. The young man behind her had no shadow of his childhood at all. His dark eyes stared at the woman in front of him, his gaze was deeper than the centuries-old cold pool behind him.
