I didn't know what Si Jiangchen was saying.
All I could feel was that the tiny bugs that had entered my body were flowing along my bloodstream to all the terminal blood vessels.
They were crawling and reveling inside me. I could clearly sense their wriggling bodies as they coupled in pairs.
"Ugh..."
Waves of excruciating numbness and itchiness gathered into a surging river within me. With each heartbeat, it spread to my limbs. I had no choice but to bury my face in Si Jiangchen's chest to hide those shameful moans.
Vaguely, I could hear Si Jiangchen giving some instructions to Huang Dabiao, but I couldn't make out what they were.
Du Peiyun's latest research result was truly domineering. Previously, when I was possessed by the lust ghost, it was a soul - body invasion. Although it controlled my body, my consciousness remained clear.
Now, although my body was my own, my mind was completely out of control. All I could see were the obscene scenes shown to me by the gu worms in my body.
Lust ghosts were the victims of excessive lust.
All the filthy things they had experienced in their lifetimes appeared in my mind like movies, tempting me and trying to make me do the same things as them.
I desperately buried my face in Si Jiangchen's chest and let him carry me as if I was floating on clouds.
"... Where are we going?"
My fingers clutching Si Jiangchen's arm, I tilted my head up dazedly and murmured, "I want to go home..."
"Go home?"
As I raised my head, I could just see Si Jiangchen's sexy Adam's apple. Without thinking, my out - of - control mind made me bite it.
"Do zombies bite like this?"
I felt his Adam's apple move under my tongue and then I let go.
"Xiao He." Si Jiangchen's voice was deep and hoarse, terrifyingly so. "I don't bite like this."
"Huh?"
I looked up at him, trying to distract myself from the restlessness in my heart by talking to him.
"Like this..."
Suddenly, Si Jiangchen lowered his head and gently pecked my lips.
The cool sensation immediately gave my almost - burning blood an outlet. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I... I can do this too..."
I felt that my sense of shame had been completely devoured by those gu worms. I clung to Si Jiangchen and wouldn't let him go.
Suddenly, a stream of warm water poured down from above my head.
It gave my muddled mind, tortured by the gu worms, a moment of clarity.
I was thrown into the bathtub...
The white porcelain bathtub was decorated with bright golden European vine patterns. It looked a bit familiar.
Si Jiangchen's dark blue shirt was already wet, revealing his broad - shouldered and narrow - hipped model - like figure. The water from the showerhead was pouring down on both of us. He bent down and bit my neck.
"Ugh..." I instinctively tried to push him away. "I... I don't want to become a zombie..."
My fingers touched his hard abs, and I couldn't help but moan. "I'm going to die... Wuwuwu."
"If you don't let me disinfect you, you'll really die!"
Si Jiangchen had kissed my neck. His breath was already unsteady. "Xiao He, be good. I don't want to devour you just yet!"
"I don't want to!!"
As soon as the words of refusal came out, a tingle of numbness spread across my chest. The scene of a lust ghost's bathtub play instantly filled my mind, and my just - regained consciousness drifted away again.
My arms, which had been pushing him away in refusal, instantly became an invitation. My fingers touched his belt. "... I want to see how you devour me..."
I looked up at him dazedly, my mind filled with images of entangled bodies in the water.
Si Jiangchen finally sighed beside my neck and, as I wished, pulled off the T - shirt that was on me...
The water from the showerhead continued to pour down. I had to hold tightly onto his shoulders to keep from drowning in the overflowing bathtub.
As Si Jiangchen moved, the violent waves surged regularly, repeatedly covering my mouth and nose and taking away my breath. Si Jiangchen would always hold my wet back when I was about to drown and wake me up with a deep kiss. The intense pain that tore through my body again and again seemed less unbearable under his soothing.
In a daze, I was fished out of the bathtub. Si Jiangchen turned around to get the towel on the rack, but my legs gave way and I fell backward.
"Good Xiao He, dry off and go to sleep. Otherwise, you'll get sick..."
Si Jiangchen supported my waist and sighed softly.
"... You don't want to?"
My voice was hoarse. What was his attitude? He seemed unhappy, as if I... No, it seemed like I had forced him!
Tears welled up in my eyes and rolled down the corners of my eyes, mixing with the water droplets sliding off my hair and flowing into my collarbone.
At that moment, I even wanted to die.
Just as Si Jiangchen had taught me! I must never go out with strangers. I'd been taken advantage of and then looked down upon...
My mind was in a mess, and I fell asleep pathetically.
My body ached and trembled as if all my bones had been removed, and then I was embraced by a warm body again.
"... Get away!" In my dream, I felt my waist being tightly held, and I could hardly breathe. I tried to push away the arm around me, but I was pulled back into the embrace.
"Xiao He enjoyed herself and now doesn't care about others?"
How did I enjoy myself! I was in so much pain!! And so tired!
A slight pain came from my fingertips. Before I sank into the deep dream, I was sure again that the man was like a dog. He bit me so painfully!!
...
Pain! Pain all over my body!
My consciousness wasn't fully awake yet, but every part of my body was already crying out in pain.
Was I hit by a car...
My mind was in a state of chaos when I opened my eyes. In front of me was a white ceiling decorated with golden edges. The tulip - shaped chandelier left bright yellow spots on the wall.
I stared blankly for a while before I recalled what had happened last night.
I was poisoned and I slept with Si Jiangchen?!
I gasped and quickly turned my head to look at the side of the pillow.
Si Jiangchen was lying less than half a foot away from me. His drooping eyelashes covered his peach - blossom eyes that always seemed to be smiling. His high nose bridge cast a faint shadow on the side of his face...
He was really good - looking.
My heart trembled again for no reason.
I didn't know about his private life. There seemed to be few gossip reports about his affairs in the magazines. Even the details about the mother of his son, Si Tong, couldn't be dug out...
All I knew was that since he appeared in the public eye, he had been single. Even the fact that Wei Yuan was his nephew hadn't been reported in any news.
Was he a zombie? He didn't seem as terrifying as he claimed to be.
Could zombies do... do such things?!
I glanced at the blue and red marks on my shoulders and chest, and then touched my lips that had been bitten by him... He didn't seem like a zombie. He was more like a big, lustful wolf!!
Thinking of those shameful moments last night from the hickeys, my face burned as if it was on fire.
I gently shrank my body towards the edge of the bed, planning to disappear silently.
In this situation, I had no face to face the awake Si Jiangchen. I couldn't just say to him, "Mr. Si, thank you for disinfecting me!"
