on a normal day, it took a great deal of effort just for her to sit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today she not only sat for half an hour in a sedan chair but also managed to complete the wedding ceremony with the help of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had used up all the strength she’d accumulated over several days in just one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she couldn’t sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had forced herself to stay alert all day, listening to the noises outside, and now, she had to muster the energy to prevent whatever was supposed to happen next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only wanted to use the marriage as a way to escape that haunted house; she never intended to actually become wife and husband with this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin didn’t speak, and Gu Youyou didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been holding herself taut like a tightly wound string as they looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when she felt she could no longer hold on, Jin Zijin made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his movement might as well have been stillness because he began quickly stripping off his own clothes and shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His actions were swift, smoothly executed in a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou’s heart rose to her throat; the string inside her finally snapped, and she fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jin Zijin took off his clothes and saw that Gu Youyou had passed out, he was actually relieved and confidently removed his inner garment as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better for her to faint; it spared them both the awkwardness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skin on his body, below the neck, was white and delicate, completely at odds with his face, as if he had the wrong head attached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew a small knife and cut a slit on his left wrist, then pried open Gu Youyou’s mouth to let her drink his blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand gently touched her neck to feel her pulse, his brow furrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of hesitation, as if making up his mind, he slid under her blankets, stripped her, and held her icy body tightly against his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…The next day, Gu Youyou was awakened by sunlight shining through the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could finally see the sun properly, no easy feat indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight fell on her blanket, making her feel an unprecedented warmth, and even her spirits seemed much uplifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew it; as long as she stopped taking those medicines and got more sunlight, she’d be able to heal herself with her knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou tried to sit up, supporting her body, but found that her whole body ached terribly, the bed board knocking with a hollow sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bed board was really hard; even just a layer of grass beneath it instead of a blanket would have been something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she jolted, suddenly remembering that she was no longer in her haunted house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Jin Zijin’s home, she was in Jin Zijin’s bed—where was he then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sound from outside;
