Chapter 236: Chapter 236 The Secret on Me

"Youyou!" Jin Zijin suddenly restrained his smile, his eyes revealing an indiscernible expression.

He grabbed her hand and placed it back under the blanket, whispering, "Don’t be so foolish next time. I’m not a good person and not worth your efforts for me."

Gu Youyou smiled awkwardly, thinking to herself: If only she had known Yue Rujing harbored the intention to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, she wouldn’t have allowed him to cut.

In the end, she failed to feel for it and changed the subject, "If you never find the Youying Pearl, does that mean you can never leave me?"

Jin Zijin’s expression changed abruptly, and he looked down at her in astonishment.

It seemed he had not expected Gu Youyou to suddenly bring up the Youying Pearl.

In Gu Youyou’s eyes, his expression seemed to indicate that she had asked something she shouldn’t have, touching upon a subject that should not have been mentioned.

Gu Youyou felt somewhat disappointed but still said with a faint smile, "The matter of the Youying Pearl was mentioned by Yue Rujing, so... he might want to kill me to silence me."

Kill me to silence me! Death!

Such words penetrated Jin Zijin’s mind, causing his eyes to narrow suddenly.

Gu Youyou was surprised to find a trace of pity in his inscrutable eyes.

Pity? For her, Gu Youyou?

A thought suddenly struck her heart; Jin Zijin’s kindness towards her... was it really just because she was his antidote? But if she were merely a cure, why would he bother to be so considerate towards her?

If it were her, Gu Youyou, in his place, she would have simply given some silver to the Gu Family, purchased the dying invalid, and then done whatever she wanted with her purchase.

Of course, having known Jin Zijin for so long, she understood he was not someone so direct.

"You... Zijin, why do you treat me this way? I really don’t understand. You all simply see me as a poison antidote, so why argue with Yue Rujing for my sake? He truly cares about you."

Jin Zijin gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, his voice hoarse as he said, "Don’t... don’t ask me, I don’t know either."

Although he said nothing more, Gu Youyou could not help feeling overjoyed and laughed out loud!

A little is enough, just a little bit. Do you know that often it’s that tiny spark that can start a wildfire?

The one who had finally fallen wasn’t just her anymore. It’s alright if you don’t know now; one day you will.

"Zijin!" Gu Youyou called his name joyfully, "Does that mean you’ve come to trust me? Apart from those inexplicable abilities I have, I have never lied to you, I’ve never hurt you, have I?"

She was eager to gain his trust.

Only if he truly trusted her, believed that she wasn’t someone planted by someone else, could he see his own heart clearly.

Jin Zijin said, "Yes, you jumped off a cliff with me, you took a sword strike for me, you almost lost your life for me, I know all that. It’s just..."

Gu Youyou was eagerly awaiting the rest of his sentence, but the big ’but’ pushed her down again.

"But what? What else are you worried about?" Her clear eyes showed a frantic look, and she gazed at him expectantly.

But Jin Zijin did not seem inclined to continue, instead he sighed and said, "Let’s not talk about this now. You need to rest. Ajing won’t silence you."

His habit of saying half and leaving half truly drove her crazy; they had finally broached such a topic today, and Gu Youyou did not intend to let it go just like that.

"Fine, I won’t ask about your matters anymore, but can you tell me what’s with my body? Why can my blood suppress the poison in you?"

This was something she was equally eager to know.
