Chapter 33: Gu Shiyi is Sick
The night was deep, and the cold had arrived.
The firewood crackled and popped as it burned.
Gu Shiyi sat cross-legged not far away, visible true qi swirling and fluctuating around him.
Lu Jianjia watched him, her mind filled with the images from when they had departed that afternoon.
“For you.”
She parted her rosy lips slightly, subconsciously mimicking the tone Gu Shiyi had used when he spoke those words.
Following this, a blush crept across her fair, delicate face.
*For me, huh.*
*Well, he promised Brother Yun that he would protect me; it is only right that he did it for me.*
*But…*
*At that moment, his eyes were so earnest.*
*This guy, honestly. If he said something like that to another girl, it would certainly cause a misunderstanding.*
Lu Jianjia flushed, her cherry-like lips curling into a beautiful arc without her realizing it.
*But it wouldn’t with me.*
“Huu…”
Gu Shiyi let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
“Have you refined it?” Lu Jianjia asked.
“Some of the resentment in my body has dissipated, but there is still some left.”
Lu Jianjia’s expression changed. “Is that serious?”
“I don’t know.”
Lu Jianjia frowned, wanting to scold him, but as the words reached her lips, her heart faltered.
He was so fierce; who would dare to speak against him?
“When you said it was for me earlier, what… what did you mean by that?”
The young girl looked at her toes, her face slightly flushed, pretending to be indifferent.
