I was momentarily stunned, and she kissed me squarely on the lips.
Shangguan Yao closed her eyes, a seductive hum escaping her slightly parted lips.
A peculiar fragrance wafted around my nose, the gentle touch feeling like freshly baked milk cake at nine in the morning, creating an illusion that made me want to savor it.
Had Shangguan Yao eaten something wrong today?
How could she be so bold!
This situation was making things very difficult for me!
If I went along with it, indulging in a romantic interlude with Shangguan Yao in this sea of flowers, it wouldn't be entirely out of the question. But if I later returned to the cave and Shangguan Yao turned against me, it would be impossible to explain.
As I was caught in this internal struggle, Shangguan Yao, seeing my lack of response, opened her eyes in dissatisfaction, her gaze filled with an indescribable sensuality.
“Lu Ziye, are you even a man! I’ve been this forward, what more do you want from me!”
As she spoke, she forcefully pushed me away, tears welling up in her eyes. She stared at me, a mixture of hurt and stubbornness in her gaze.
“Don’t you know, every time I see other women flirting with you, it feels like a knife stabbing my heart! Can’t you just speak to me gently, like you do with them!”
These words truly caught me off guard.
I had genuinely never imagined that Shangguan Yao, who usually treated me with sarcasm and disdain, had secretly harbored feelings for me all along!
An ordinary company employee and a high-and-mighty beautiful CEO? No one would ever think it possible for them to be together.
Yet, in the perilous environment of Nameless Island, this scenario, which existed only in my dreams, was actually unfolding!
Faced with such a Shangguan Yao, even steel would soften like silk. A wave of tenderness washed over me, and I wanted to step forward, embrace her, and cherish her.
Shangguan Yao offered no resistance, easily pulled into my arms.
The emotions she had suppressed for so long could no longer be contained, and she let out a sob!
“Wuwuwu, we’re trapped on this island now, we can never go back! I’m so scared, what should I do, Lu Ziye…”
— *Sigh*, this foolish woman.
I gently stroked her smooth black hair. Perhaps this move, like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, had completely snapped the taut nerve in Shangguan Yao’s mind, leading to this scene.
“It’s okay, I’m here. Cry it all out, don’t hold back. You’ll feel better after crying…”
Under my comfort, Shangguan Yao gradually stopped crying. kuAiδugg
I thought we could have a proper conversation, but to my surprise, she suddenly pushed me down into the sea of flowers.
I looked at Shangguan Yao straddling me. Just as I was about to speak, she lowered her head and sealed my lips.
“I want…”
This time, I didn’t hold back either. I took the initiative, finding my target, and thoroughly implemented the guerrilla warfare tactics of “if the enemy advances, we retreat; if they encamp, we harass; if they are tired, we attack; if they retreat, we pursue.”
Shangguan Yao, a naive newcomer with no experience, was no match for me, a seasoned veteran. Within moments, she appeared dazed.
My hands were already tracing the curve of Shangguan Yao’s slender waist, moving upwards.
I must say, while she seemed ordinary from afar, compared to Comrade Isabella, Shangguan Yao was actually superior!
Just as I was getting carried away, unable to stop, and eagerly anticipating the next step, I felt a sharp pain at my neck!
I looked down and saw that Shangguan Yao had bitten my neck fiercely!
*Hiss—*
Who flirts like this, actually biting down hard!
I quickly pushed Shangguan Yao away, tenderly rubbing the spot where she had bitten me. A clear row of teeth marks was visible, and my skin was broken!
As I was about to scold Shangguan Yao, I noticed a strange expression on her face, her eyes filled with madness!
Her pupils were crimson red.
Damn it, this isn’t right!
Shangguan Yao didn’t seem to be flirting with me at all; it was more like she had been poisoned by something that muddled her senses!
No wonder she wanted to… without any preamble.
My gaze fell upon the flowers near Shangguan Yao’s ears. Could the fragrance of these flowers be the cause!
The lust in my mind instantly vanished, and my sharp intellect regained control.
With one hand, I held Shangguan Yao’s head to prevent her from biting again. With the other, I chopped down lightly but firmly on her neck.
Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted onto me.
I quickly held her in my arms and carried her away from the sea of flowers.
Under a tree, I looked at the comatose Shangguan Yao with a furrowed brow. Her complexion was becoming increasingly unnatural, her face a deep red that seemed about to bleed.
It seemed she was indeed poisoned by those flowers, and I had to find a way to save her!
However, what puzzled me was why Shangguan Yao was poisoned while I, who had been in the sea of flowers, was not.
The situation was urgent, and Shangguan Yao’s symptoms were worsening, so this wasn’t the time to dwell on such questions.
When I was young, I heard the elders in my village say that if bitten by a snake in the wild, one shouldn’t panic, as a remedy would be found within ten meters.
Now, bringing Shangguan Yao back to the cave, it was uncertain whether her flower poisoning could be treated.
I had no antidote on hand, so I could only first see if there was anything to counteract the poison near the flower patch.
Indeed, after searching, I found several small emerald-green grasses beneath the flower Shangguan Yao had picked earlier.
These grasses grew near the flowers, so perhaps they were meant to counteract the flower’s poison.
I looked around again and found nothing else in the vicinity except these small grasses and other colored flowers. With no other options, I decided to give it a shot. I found two stones, crushed the grass, and squeezed out its juice.
While I was preparing the antidote, Shangguan Yao’s symptoms worsened. She was breaking out in a cold sweat, and occasionally mumbled disjointed phrases like “Don’t go” and “Home.”
Fearing that delaying would exacerbate her condition, I quickened my pace.
Once the juice was squeezed out, I carefully propped Shangguan Yao up, pinched her jaw, and poured the juice into her mouth.
