Then she dressed herself, a white shirt, a black vest, long pants, riding boots, and finally draped the long tailcoat on herself:
“It’s time to go back.”
He said “calmly”.
But Liu Yu knew through the hot and trembling hand of the young man that he was not as calm as he appeared.
“Before that, let me give up.”
She cried like, taking the opportunity to cover her face, she opened the thumb-sized bottle hidden in her clothes, which contained three drops of blood-mixed medicine.
She swallowed it.
“Hmm?”
Gaia didn’t understand.
But Liu Yu took a step forward, tiptoed, with both hands on his neck, kissed him again. She kissed him fiercely, so fiercely that she directly bit his lip, with a mix of bloody taste, and she pushed the medicine containing blood into his mouth.
“Um…”
The power of the medicine, the kiss, or some unknown thing, softened the boy’s guard, and his resistance gradually weakened.
Reason was annihilated in a devastating manner, this time, completely defenseless.
Rain began to fall outside the stone pavilion at some point.
The drizzle fell on the ground, shoots broke through the soil and quickly grew, blending with the spring rain. The vine entwined the tree trunk tightly, rustling and sounding like a tango, passionate and unrestrained, dancing and quickly separating, in blood and tears, sweat and song, the tango continued unabated.
Liu Yu didn’t know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she found herself lying in a warm embrace. Gaia held her tightly, leaning against the railing quietly.
He “looked” to the sky outside the forest.
The sky was already dimly bright.
“Gaia…”
“The drink I had was drugged, I am certain.”
He turned his head and “looked” at her seriously:
“Was it you or Mary?”
Chapter 16 Believe her?
“Was it you or Mary?”
Gaia’s voice was calm and relaxed, sounding like a spring breeze. But to Liu Yu, it became a level ten tornado. She just managed to utter a sound:
“Gaia, what are you saying? What drugs?”
Her mind desperately reviewed if there were any exposed areas last night.
After confirming multiple times, there were none.
None.
Gaia sighed softly, “Bella, I am sure, I was drugged last night, not just by alcohol.”
Liu Yu, like an angered young lion, sat up abruptly:
“So, you suspect me?”
Gaia didn’t say anything.
He stood up and walked in front of her, half squatting to “look” at her face. The expression on his face was puzzled—
Not questioning, as if he had only asked a question, nothing more.
So, Liu Yu knew that the irrational and lovely Gaia, who had been confused by alcohol and drugs last night, had disappeared.
This was his usual state, detached from all human emotions—
Perhaps there were emotions, but they were not intense, even if it was anger or doubt.
She burst into tears and covered her face, crying loudly:
“Gaia, you don’t need to do this. I didn’t expect you to be responsible or have any hope of being your lover… You don’t need to humiliate my feelings for you like this…”
“Bella.”
Gaia sighed helplessly.
“… Drugs? How could I drug you? Gaia, how much I love you, you are as precious in my heart as a pearl or a diamond… How could I hurt you…”
She cried heartbreakingly, her shoulders trembling, completely like a deeply wounded lover.
“Did you regret it? So, you insulted my feelings for you with such a ridiculous reason? Fine, fine, I’ll leave! I, Bella Fergus, will not be trampled on by anyone. I will never entangle you again!”
As she spoke, she stood up excitedly, but unexpectedly stumbled and fell to the side.
Gaia caught her:
“Bella.”
“Bella, Bella, Bella! Can’t you say anything other than Bella?”
Liu Yu struck back, acting childish and annoying, employing her crying skills to the fullest. In no time, she was crying pitifully, holding onto his neck tightly:
“It hurts so much, Gaia, it hurts so much…”
The trembling body of the young girl was leaning against him, helpless, like a rain-and-wind-battered hydrangea outside the pavilion.
The faint sound of gasping and whispered crying echoed in Gaia’s ear.
“Does it hurt…?”
“Yes, it hurts, it hurts so much, and I’ve lost so much blood.”
Since Gaia couldn’t see, Liu Yu didn’t hold back in her words—and indeed, she was in pain, her body was as if it had been brutally assaulted.
When the reckless young man cleared the land, he often possessed the courageousness of a lion and would not stop the attack because of the weakness or pleading of the prey. Instead, it made his blood boil even more—
And due to the lack of experience, he only had brute strength, lacking skills.
God wouldn’t treat himself poorly, molding his body to perfection required some natural hardware.
So, when the prey that just entered the chopping block faced a completely mismatched sword, it was simply unlucky.
Liu Yu’s legs were completely immobile, and her legs felt like cotton. When she walked, she felt pain from the inside of her thighs to the tips of her toes, as if she had suffered extensive bruising.
And the most indescribable part was the pain, dripping and intertwining. When she stood up, she could still feel a warm flow slowly trickling down.
“I’ll take you to see a physician.”
