I was freezing to death and couldn't help crying out.
The Gu Yuan beneath me seemed to have a reaction.
His chapped lips moved slightly. The icy holy water seemed to gain some warmth and was no longer as bone - chilling as before.
The coldness of the holy water gradually faded away, and what passed into my lips was a warm current. This warmth flowed down from my lips and spread throughout my limbs and bones.
The coldness on my body was completely dispelled.
Gu Yuan's lips touched the holy water, and his dry lips became soft and inviting. His teeth gradually parted a little, and the holy water slowly poured into his mouth. Gu Yuan's Adam's apple twitched slightly as he swallowed it.
Great! He had a reaction. I quickly got up, took another mouthful of the holy water, and leaned down to press my lips against his again.
Gu Yuan was very cooperative. Every time I fed him a mouthful mouth - to - mouth, he would swallow it.
After almost all the holy water was finished, I took his hand and sat beside him.
I looked at his somewhat pale cheeks worriedly, feeling that every second was like a year.
I stayed there for a full half - hour. Gu Yuan was lying on the bed, showing no sign of improvement. His face was still as pale as paper, which made me feel so heart - aching.
I couldn't help worrying. Had the holy water lost its effect? Or was it simply useless? Could it be that I had been deceived by Bai Xiangjun?
I anxiously picked up the jade vase and poured it hard. The holy water gathered at the mouth of the bottle. It looked like only a tiny bit, as little as the bottom of a wine cup. Did he have to drink every last drop?
I pulled out the cork and gently placed the mouth of the jade vase against Gu Yuan's lips. He had responded just now, but now he refused to drink again.
I watched as the holy water clung to his lips and was about to drip down.
I don't know what came over me at that moment. I quickly lowered my head and captured his lips. At the same time, I seemed to feel his jaw move.
His tightly closed lips parted slightly, and his teeth bit my lips.
I instinctively opened my eyes and tried to break free. To my surprise, Gu Yuan had opened his eyes, with a mischievous smile in them.
It dawned on me at that second that this guy had actually woken up a long time ago. He had done it on purpose.
I felt cheated. I was about to sit up and question him.
Gu Yuan also sensed that I was about to get up. Just as I was about to push his chest, his strong hands clasped my waist tightly.
My body trembled. I suddenly felt numb all over and was so shocked that I wanted to scream.
But Gu Yuan didn't let go of my lips. Taking advantage of the "mmm" sound I made uncontrollably, he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.
His lips pressed even tighter against mine. I tried to break free, but Gu Yuan's one hand was clasped around my waist, and the other was on the back of my head.
He imprisoned me tightly. This overbearing kiss was completely different from the young Gu Yuan.
At first, I still tried to break free. But then Gu Yuan rolled over and domineeringly pinned me beneath him.
At that moment, I surrendered completely and was deeply lost in it.
I was so charmed by him that at this moment, I felt it was natural for him to do anything to me.
The two of us were like loving lovers who had been separated for many years, kissing each other until we were out of breath.
Until his hand slipped under my waist. The silky touch made me let out a muffled groan.
Gu Yuan's eyes were like filled with osmanthus wine, full of deep affection.
One hand gently stroked my slightly blushing face, and he said softly, "Lan Lan, I missed you."
I had known Gu Yuan for so long, and rarely had I heard him say such sweet words. I couldn't tell what I was feeling.
Maybe it was the atmosphere that made it so. I seemed to hear two voices in my mind.
I steadied myself. Did I hear wrong? Or was I just in a daze? I heard both the current Gu Yuan and the young Gu Yuan say this sentence.
I bit my lips hard. My eyes instantly welled up with tears. I wrapped my hands around Gu Yuan's solid back and held on tightly, not wanting to let go.
My words were tinged with a bit of sadness: "I'm sorry. I'm late."
As soon as the words were out, Gu Yuan's handsome face leaned in for another kiss. I responded to his kiss until I was breathing heavily and collapsed on his shoulders.
Gu Yuan still seemed not satisfied. I gasped for breath in small mouthfuls and said shyly, "Your injury has just improved. You shouldn't move around."
Gu Yuan reached out to push aside the sweaty strands of hair on my forehead. His voice was full of temptation: "You are my miraculous medicine..."
I shyly turned my head slightly and looked at the silver barrier surrounding Gu Yuan. At this moment, the barrier was in a misty state. People outside couldn't see in, and I couldn't see out.
The semi - circular barrier was flowing like a galaxy in front of my eyes, looking so unreal.
Gu Yuan and I were inside the barrier, as if we were in the waves, being carried away by the tide and completely lost.
...
In a daze, I opened my eyes weakly. How had I come to Gu Yuan's spiritual realm again?
It was no longer as cold as it used to be. Now there was green grass everywhere. The big tree that Man Yue said I had killed was now in a semi - revived state. Many branches had sprouted new buds, looking like the revival of all things in spring.
I lay on the grass for a while. Vaguely, I saw a twinkling green light hovering among the tree branches.
When I got up from the ground to see what it was, the green light had already disappeared.
I walked around the big tree. Man Yue had once told me not to touch it. Should I touch it or not?
I gently raised my hand. Just as my fingertips were about to touch the trunk, a white light suddenly flashed before my eyes.
I instinctively squinted and covered my eyes with my hand to block the strong light.
When I opened my eyes again, I had left the big tree and was lying on a big bed.
I must have been dreaming just now. I didn't know how long I had slept. Anyway, when I woke up, it was because the strong sunlight shone on my face.
I raised my hand to rub my eyes, lazily turned over, and wanted to go back to sleep.
Suddenly, I felt something was wrong. How could there be sunlight here?
I was shocked and instinctively sat up straight, looking around.
Under the large French window in the bedroom, the first ray of sunlight shone through the white sheer curtain onto the bed. Isn't this my new home? How did I get home?
Shouldn't I be in the Land of Eternal Night? Could it be another hallucination?
I pinched my thigh hard. Ouch! It hurt so much.
This wasn't a dream. If it wasn't a dream, then where had Gu Yuan gone? Was that night of passion between him and me all fake?
I didn't care about anything else, not even putting on my slippers. I got out of bed, rushed out of the door, and searched every corner on the first and second floors, but I didn't see Gu Yuan anywhere.
"Gu Yuan? Gu Yuan..." My heart felt empty, as if Gu Yuan had left me and would never come back.
That sense of helplessness was like losing the dearest person and never seeing them again.
