Why The Big Villain Hasn’t Run Away - Chapter 54-5

The Little Wood came on her own with long legs, and he felt like he had to do something.

Gu Ci didn’t answer her directly, but answered something that seemed irrelevant instead: “Do me a favor.”

Yan Luqing was taken aback: “What?”

“Get me a bottle of wine.”

Yan Luqing subconsciously turned around to get it. After two steps, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

——She has been with him on so many occasions. When did Gu Ci drink?

Not to mention taking the initiative to ask for wine.

Yan Luqing pursed her lips “…Why do you suddenly want to drink?”

Gu Ci was silent for three seconds and suddenly said: “The first day I came here, I told you that I thought I was drugged. Do you remember?”

Yan Luqing remembers.

She also found in her mind the scene where the original owner ordered Big Black to give him the drug.

She hesitated and said: “You state now, and your inexplicably pale face before, are all because…”

Gu Ci looked at her and answered directly, “Yes.”

Yan Luqing suddenly felt worried. “What is the drug…”

“To put it simply, its effect can basically be summed up as hallucinogen. The hallucination is painful.” Gu Ci said, “It is quite realistic pain.”

“…Where does it hurt?”

“It’s like——” Gu Ci stretched out his hand, with his palm facing up. The top is clean and the lines are shallow. His other finger pointed to the tip of his finger and continued down. “What I am feeling right now, it’s like starting from here, there’s a knife cutting and severing my fingers from one inch to the other inch. It is also like someone is cutting my fingers with scissors…”

He didn’t go any further.

Because of an inadvertent lifting of his eyes, he caught Yan Luqing’s eyes. She was both shocked and distressed, all of which were written on her face. A layer of bright liquid had covered her eyes, and her eyes stared roundly, like a bullied animal.

Gu Ci was suddenly amused by her expression and wanted to laugh. Obviously, he was the one that was bullied.

Yan Luqing was silent for a long time. She sat silently on the edge of his bed and asked in a low voice: “How painful is it?”

Gu Ci thought about it, and told the truth: “In the beginning, there would be a few moments when it was not clear whether the pain was an illusion, or whether the intact skin seen by the eyes was an illusion or not.”

“……”

Yan Luqing suddenly thought of the moment when the two of them were in the tree hole. She was surprised to find that Gu Ci didn’t seem to feel the pain, and he only seemed to have said something casually.

Pain is something that can gradually be tolerated.

Her heart suddenly became extremely stuffy, and there was a slight pain with every beat of it.

Yan Luqing asked again, “Why did you ask me to get the wine just now?”

“To dilute the senses and also to divert the attention.” Gu Ci smiled at her, “The wine works faster.”

Red blood color appeared in Gu Ci’s eyes, and sweat slipped down his forehead——all of which seemed like a stress response spontaneously generated by his body due to pain, but his expression was not affected at all. The smile on his face and the curved corners of his eyes were the same as usual.

As if he and his body could be treated separately.

“Is there no other way?” Yan Luqing couldn’t remember it for a while and was also a little anxious. “You must have some way. Don’t drink. You haven’t eaten much at noon. Your stomach is much more delicate and in more serious condition than mine. After drinking, it can be another new place that hurts again…”

Yan Luqing wanted to say something, but Gu Ci suddenly interrupted her.

“It doesn’t have to be a drink either.”

Yan Luqing was stunned for a moment, then her wrist was suddenly grasped, and being pulled in his direction. Then her whole person was hugged——

She felt Gu Ci’s hand encircling her waist, her face resting on her shoulder, and his warm breath was scattered around her neck. Then with an almost coquettish voice, he said softly: “But you have to let me hug you for a while.”

Obviously, he has already taken the action, but he still has to ask.

“Okay? Owner.”
