After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi used all her strength to hug her tortured lover.

Si Jiu was targeted and tortured by Qi Yan'an, and it was ultimately because of her.

If she hadn't been drunk and angry at the time, she wouldn't have pulled Si Jiu into a marriage contract with him.

If Si Jiu had not rebelled against Qi Yan'an in order to let her have peace after death, he would have vowed to marry her in the afterlife.

If it weren’t for Qi Yan’an.

In fact, the one who did the most wrong was that bastard Qi Yanan.

Wen Baizhi has never been someone who would make excuses for herself.

All in all, this matter was Qi Yan'an's fault.

She and Si Jiu were both harmed to this extent by this damn imperial power and Qi Yan'an's unreasonable possessiveness.

Both of Si Jiu's wrists were swollen beyond recognition.

The fracture I suffered from the fall yesterday hasn't healed yet.

But he still held Wen Baizhi's waist stubbornly with shaking arms.

He buried his head in Wen Baizhi's lower abdomen.

Under the most familiar and safest smell, Si Jiu burst into tears for no reason.

"Zijin, I'm in a hurry now. I may not be able to stay that long and have to leave. You look very unwell now. I have the ointment I brought with me. Let me go first and I will apply the ointment on you."

But Si Jiu shook his head: "No need, Baibai, there will still be wounds after applying the ointment. I just want to hug you now."

He told the truth.

It is unknown when Qi Yan'an's torture of him will end.

Even if you apply medicine now, wounds will still appear later.

Instead of wasting precious time with Wen Baizhi, it would be better to let him feel the embrace of his lover again.

Wen Baizhi is not the kind of person who forces others to do things according to her wishes.

When she heard Si Jiu say this, she understood why he said that.

"Okay, hug me again then."

Clearly, they could still be together anytime and anywhere a few days ago, but now they have to rush even to hug each other. How come?

When Wen Baizhi came here that night, the lights were dim and she couldn't see the entire layout of the room.

She didn't even notice the tic-tac-toe grid that Si Jiu had been drawing.

But now she saw it.

She stood in front of the table, the only piece of furniture in the room, and looked around the empty room and the tic-tac-toe grids that Si Jiu had already drawn and scattered on the floor.

When Wen Baizhi saw this environment, she immediately knew Si Jiu's current situation.

"Is Qi Yan'an asking you to draw this tic-tac-toe grid? And he asked you to draw so many of them?"

The pile of blank papers was almost as high as the table.

Si Jiu hummed unconsciously.

He didn't have the strength to speak, nor was he willing to interrupt the moment he was hugging Wen Baizhi.

Wen Baizhi remembered that when she was still Wen Bai, she had played Tic-Tac-toe with Qi Yan'an.

But she didn't expect that this would become Qi Yan'an's way of torturing Si Jiu.

"And why is there only this table and this chair in this room? Where do you sleep at night? No wonder you were lying on the floor when I came to see you last night. It turns out you didn't lie on the floor on purpose, but you simply had no place to lie down."

Wen Baizhi became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her face flushed with anger: "Is this how Qi Yanan treats you? Even if you were a prisoner in a cell, you should have a thatched couch to lie on, right? This is too much! He is simply not a human being!"

Si Jiu is not someone who complains easily.

But he still felt sad that Wen Baizhi was standing up for him like this.

He reluctantly got up from Wen Baizhi's arms: "Baibai, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. What you need to do now is to protect yourself. If Qi Yan'an wanted to get rid of me, he would have had countless opportunities to do so in the past three years, but he never did, which means I am still useful to him. Now that Dacheng and Chidu are on the verge of a war, he won't do anything to me."

Wen Baizhi thought about the reason why she could come here to see him: "He seems to be really upset about the Chidu Kingdom today, and he is still in the front court and hasn't returned yet, so I can come and secretly take a look at you with the help of the queen."

Si Jiu understood: "The Queen is also a pitiful person. When she was in the Imperial Garden yesterday, she must have come to help you on purpose."

When Wen Baizhi saw Si Jiu leave her arms, she could see Si Jiu's face.

"Zijin, even though you said you don't want to apply medicine to your wounds, I want to take a look. Can I take a look at your wounds?"

Si Jiu's expression flickered: "Bai Bai, my body is not good-looking, and you'd better not look at these injuries. I'm afraid it will scare you."

He would be willing to have all the injuries he had suffered before dissected out for Wen Baizhi to see.

But things are different today.

He was seriously injured this time, and there is probably no healthy place on his body.

The tears that Wen Baizhi had shed on his neck just now were still burning.

He didn't want to see her tears.

But Wen Baizhi refused: "Zijin, you and I are husband and wife, husband and wife are one body, what's yours is mine, I have seen everywhere in your body, I just want to see where the injuries are and how serious they are. If I have the chance one day, I will definitely find Qi Yanan to avenge you today, and I want him to have the same injuries as you."

And it's a more serious kind.

Seeing her say that, Si Jiu no longer refused: "Okay, what's mine is yours, I will give you whatever you want."

He was even willing to offer up what was left of his body.

So the following scene became a scene that Wen Baizhi would never forget.

It's a scene that still makes me sad every time I think of it.

Si Jiu's hands felt weak, and he tried to unbutton his coat but couldn't.

His hands were not capable of such delicate movements.

In the end, it was Wen Baizhi who helped him unbutton his clothes and took them off to his elbows.

Just like that, Si Jiu's body, which had been tortured for six days, was completely presented in front of Wen Baizhi.

The first thing that caught my eye was Si Jiu’s even thinner belly.

The little bit of meat that he had grown with great difficulty had now turned into protruding ribs, making him look very thin.

There were several bruises on his abdomen, as if he had been kicked.

Wen Baizhi's warm hand touched the bruises on his abdomen: "Did someone kick you?"

The experience that day was too bloody. Si Jiu didn't really want to tell Wen Baizhi about it and pollute her ears.

"Baibai, please don't ask."

Wen Baizhi thought that he didn't want to recall the reason for his injury, so she didn't ask any further.

She simply leaned over and placed a kiss on the bruise on his abdomen.

"Although you said you don't want to use medicine, such comfort is still indispensable."

After the wound here was healed, the next thing to come was the obvious scar on Si Jiu's heart where he was stabbed by a knife.

Wen Baizhi saw that his abdomen was bruised by being kicked, and his heart was stabbed.

Even if Si Jiu didn't say it, she knew that he must have endured a lot.

But his injuries did not end there.

Even after seeing just two scenes, Wen Baizhi felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
