With the sound of a “creak”, the door of the basement opened……

Ran Muxun suddenly felt like she was being stared at by a hunter, her entire body couldn’t help but tense up. 

“Ranran……”

A voice she was extremely familiar with rang out.

Ran Muxun’s body stiffened.

He said something……

This just proves, he wasn’t afraid of her knowing……

Or rather, he had long already known that she knew……

Si Jinze looked at the girl before him, reaching out a hand, his ice-cold hand, still stained with Si Jinzhi’s blood, stroked her lips, her cheeks……finally stopping on her fragile and delicate neck……

Ran Muxun could only feel that her throat was dry, she didn’t even dare to swallow her saliva.

“Why……did you not just pretend not to know……”

He sighed quietly, “I was obviously willing to accompany you in pretending for a lifetime……”

“Now, what should I do……”

His hands slowly travelled downwards, unbuttoning her pyjamas, a shirt of his own that he had previously put on for her as her sleepwear……

“You can rest assured, Ranran……you are the person I love the most, I can’t bear for you to die……”

Perhaps he had been drenched in the rain, his fingers were very cold, but his lips……

Were unbelievably scalding hot!

Ran Muxun made a trembling sound, “Jinze gege, I’m begging you……”

“You’re begging me? But, Ranran, I can’t let you tell other people my secret ah……Ranran, how good would it be if you couldn’t speak……this way, you wouldn’t be capable of telling anyone else……oh, no, you would still be able to write……”

He grabbed her hand, kissing each finger, one by one, Ran Muxun tremblingly wanted to take it back, but was ruthlessly bitten by him!

“Ah……”

Cold sweat slid down instantly.

Ran Muxun’s lips went pale, she even felt like Si Jinze was about to bite off her fingers, one by one, then swallow them down!

“This hand……is truly very beautiful. If it could be put in my office to be appreciated as a work of art……it would surely be great, right?”

Ran Muxun’s entire body shuddered, as if she could already see that terrifying picture.

“Jinze……gege……”

Her voice carried a pleading desperation. 

“Yes, I’m your Jinze gege……”

His voice hoarse, he removed the blindfold covering her eyes. 

The room’s light was dim, Ran Muxun’s eyes met with the familiar smile on his face, just as her heart was about to relax, the next second, she felt as if the entire heaven and earth before her eyes had turned upside down……

The smiling expression on the man’s face didn’t change, but the moment she looked at him, she felt as if he was simply just a demon!

“Si Jinze!!!”

……

After passing an endless rainy night, Ran Muxun laid there dazedly, her lips so dry, skin had already peeled off, her complexion was as pallid as snow, she was exhausted to the point of not even being able to open her eyes……

The man stood up, he had obtained her once again, but his mood wasn’t anything like the satisfaction and pleasure he had imagined……

“Don’t……”

Her slightly opened lips let out an unconscious pained groan, even while sleeping she would still reject him. 

Si Jinze’s eyes went red, viciously glaring at her……

Reaching out a hand, he covered her mouth.

He didn’t want to hear her rejection ever again!

Then, he realised something was wrong.

Her……

Her body was too hot!!

The expression in his eyes instantly became alarmed and flurried, Si Jinze’s hand jumped like it had received an electric shock, looking at the girl before him, abnormally red complexion yet with slightly whitish lips, his fingertips actually started trembling a little……

She, had a fever!

Damn it, he had actually forgotten, her body had become weaker after the accident from before, with torrential rain falling outside, and the basement originally being gloomily cold, she had been stripped of her clothes and was also tossed around by him for so long…

It would only be strange if she didn’t get sick!

“Ranran!!”

Si Jinze panicked, hurriedly undoing her bindings in a fluster, he wrapped the weak and unconscious her in his own coat, and hastily left the basement…

When the doctor left, Aunt Liu looked at Si Jinze with a very strange gaze.

Si Jinze didn’t have the time to care about these things, he sat by the side of the bed in extreme regret, watching over the girl lying on the bed, her breathing at the moment was feeble, as if she could leave him at any time……
