After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

When Wen Baizhi came back, Ping An had already left.

Only Si Jiu was left sitting at the table, waiting obediently for her to come back.

Wen Baizhi placed the sesame pie she brought in front of him.

"Try it, there are lots of sesame seeds in it."

Her expression was exaggerated and vivid when she said this.

Si Jiu just felt bitter in his heart.

Just when he was about to pick one up, Wen Baizhi hit him on the back of his hand.

He looked at her aggrievedly.

Wen Baizhi was almost overwhelmed by the look in his eyes.

But she remained calm and said, "It's not that I won't give it to you. It's just that the pancakes are fresh out of the oven and are very hot. You have to be careful when you take them, and even more careful when you eat them."

It was rare for Si Jiu to be cared for so meticulously.

He carefully tested the temperature with his fingertips first, and when he found it was acceptable, he picked up the whole pie.

When eating, I was also very careful as Wen Baizhi said. I blew on it again and again to make sure it was not hot before putting it into my mouth.

Wen Baizhi also took one and put it in her mouth.

The size she ate was of normal size, while the one Si Jiu ate was smaller than hers.

"Sesame smells really good." Her mouth was full of the aroma of sesame.

Si Jiu nodded: "It smells good and tastes good."

This is the truth.

He had clearly lost his sense of taste, but whenever he ate with Wen Baizhi, he seemed to be able to feel the flavors bursting on his tongue again.

After Wen Baizhi finished eating a large one, she found that Si Jiu had only eaten less than half of it.

She thought that Si Jiu was still recovering and naturally had a poor appetite.

But what she didn't know was that Si Jiu's heart was heavy with worry that he would be leaving in three days.

Naturally, he had no appetite to eat the pie she prepared for him.

Wen Baizhi said with concern: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it."

Her original intention was just not to burden Si Jiu's stomach.

Unexpectedly, Si Jiu felt even more disgusted with his current broken body in his heart.

Not only was he unable to give her the happiness that a normal person could, but now he couldn't even finish a pie.

If I leave Kyoto in three days, I don’t know how long it will take for me to see her again and eat the food she specially prepared for me.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he hated his own incompetence.

He bit the remaining half of the pie into his mouth fiercely.

Wen Baizhi was startled by his sudden action.

When I realized what was happening, I had already reached out to stop him.

"Zijin, you can't eat so fast."

The large piece that Si Jiu bit off had already filled his mouth.

Wen Baizhi took the teacup: "Would you like to drink some water? Would you choke?"

Si Jiu just chewed the food in his mouth numbly, but he overestimated his swallowing ability.

There was so much stuff piled in his mouth that he couldn't swallow any of it.

Finally, these foods became the trigger for his severe coughing.

He coughed out all the tiny pieces of food in his mouth onto the ground.

"Zi Jin."

Wen Baizhi hurriedly patted his back to help him calm down.

Si Jiu kept coughing, and finally he covered his abdomen and vomited.

He vomited very vigorously, and veins on his forehead were bulging from the excessive force.

Tears, sweat, and saliva all dripped onto the ground.

Si Jiu felt that he was so unbearable now.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't stop vomiting.

By the end of his vomiting, there was nothing left in his stomach to vomit out, and only gastric juice was left.

Under the repeated stimulation, his stomach felt a familiar dull pain, and his hands pressed on his abdomen tighter and tighter.

Wen Baizhi naturally noticed his abnormality.

She tried to pry his hands apart.

"Zijin, please stop pressing on me. You are still wounded."

After such torture, the wound on Si Jiu's upper body had already split open, and the bright red blood slowly seeped through the gauze.

Wen Baizhi was sweating anxiously. She didn't know how a simple pie in the sky could have turned into such an unmanageable situation.

Si Jiu had nothing left in his stomach to vomit, and he ended up vomiting a mouthful of blood.

Wen Baizhi almost jumped up.

This must be gastric bleeding again.

The only consolation was that Si Jiu didn't vomit any more blood after he spit it out.

After all, there was nothing to vomit.

He kept breathing heavily, as if he was having trouble breathing.

Wen Baizhi had been standing beside him. Originally she was just helping him to stroke his back, but now she directly held his entire trembling body in her arms.

"It's okay, just spit it out and it will be fine." She comforted him gently as she did every time before.

Even as if she was afraid of scaring him, she lowered her voice very low.

But when Si Jiu was in her arms, all he saw was the mess on the ground.

Wen Baizhi just stood there in the filth without a care in the world, hugging him as he was about to break apart.

But three days later, he would leave her and go to Jinzhou.

It had never occurred to him to take her with him.

Since Qi Yan'an assigned this task to him, it meant that this task must be difficult and even life-threatening.

Besides, Jinzhou was very far away from Kyoto, and the journey was bumpy, and he couldn't bear to see her suffer even a little.

He would leave her in Kyoto and give her enough people to protect her.

He will go to Jinzhou alone and may not be able to return before New Year's Eve.

Worse still, he would die in Jinzhou.

The return date is uncertain and the future is unknown.

He really, really couldn't bear to leave her.

Not surprisingly, he cried in her arms again.

There is reluctance and fear.

More because her embrace was too warm.

It warmed him to tears.

The pain in his stomach showed no sign of letting him go, and the arrow wounds in his body were even less so.

He was shaking with pain, but he clenched his teeth tightly to prevent himself from even uttering a cry of pain.

Wen Baizhi had been with him for so long that she was familiar with all his physical manifestations.

She lowered her head to see his face.

Unexpectedly, Si Jiu noticed her movements and buried his face in her arms, preventing her from looking.

It goes without saying that he must look like a ghost and be extremely ugly now.

There was nothing about me that could attract her.

The more he avoided like this, the more Wen Baizhi worried about him.

Wen Baizhi slowly squatted down until her eyes were level with his.

Just like that, Si Jiu's face could not be hidden and was revealed in front of Wen Baizhi.

Probably because he vomited too much, there were red bloodshot on Si Jiu's eyelids and cheeks.

His lips were red and bright, but they were tightly pursed.

Wen Baizhi reached out to open his lips.

Si Jiu could never refuse her. With just a touch of her hand, he would open himself to her unconditionally.

When Si Jiu opened his mouth, the cry of pain that had been suppressed for so long slowly overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Uh......"

Even because he had just clenched his teeth and tongue so tightly, the blood flowed out along the corner of his mouth, forming a red line.

Wen Baizhi touched his cheek and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with her thumb.

Something big must have happened to make him lose control like this.

Si Jiu's tears were still on his cheeks.

"Zijin, what happened?"
