Chapter 101 - The After-Effects of Quitting a Drug Addiction
In a daze, Wen Xinya thought she heard Xu Zhenyu’s voice. That voice seemed to come from the otherworld, knocking heavily at the room of her heart. “Xu Zhenyu… is that you? Have you come to save me?”
Her weak voice, intermittently filled with tremors, was as though she was in a world of ice and snow, the chill coming from her bones.
Si Yiyan’s long and narrow eyes were increasingly filled with coldness. He bent slightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered in a low voice, “It’s me, Si Yiyan, have you forgotten?”
“Xu Zhenyu… I’m cold!” Wen Xinya’s consciousness was similar to rootless duckweed like the seeds of the willow drifting in the wind, unable to find any focus. In her mind, there was only Xu Zhenyu’s voice, freshly penetrating her life.
Si Yiyan’s expression grew darker. She was at her most painful stage, but the one she thought of was Xu Zhenyu, not him. This realization made him feel uselessly angered.
“Xu Zhenyu, give me… I’m in pain, give me…” Wen Xinya’s breaths quickened, her chest undulated constantly. In her throat, there were only her painful moans and her cold wheezing. Her body trembled uncontrollably.
Si Yiyan understood the situation clearly. This was the start of the drugs taking effect. He thought it was odd. Wen Xinya had only just been injected with the drugs, the effects should not have appeared so soon.
Si Yiyan’s consciousness was starting to slip away. “Call Old Master Mo. Get him to come to watch over Wen Xinya.”
After saying his piece, he fainted.
