Chapter 0123 Electric Current in a Dream

The first cold wave of winter arrived with great force.

The temperature in City A plummeted by more than ten degrees overnight.

Although the apartment had a constant temperature system, Wen Ning still fell ill.

The long-term depression in his heart, coupled with his already weak body that had been tormented by the system's punishment, made him even worse off.

What was just a common seasonal flu turned into a severe high fever in her.

late at night.

On the large bed in the master bedroom, Wen Ning nestled in the soft quilt, her cheeks flushed red.

My forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

She slept restlessly, her brows furrowed, as if she were experiencing something extremely painful in her dream.

Jiang Ci sat on the edge of the bed.

He was only wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

Holding a damp towel, he wiped her forehead and neck every few minutes to cool her down.

"water……"

Wen Ning murmured unconsciously.

Jiang Ci immediately put down the towel and picked up the warm water next to him.

He half-lifted her up and let her lean against him.

I brought the cup to her lips and fed her little by little.

She drank very quickly and choked.

Jiang Ci gently patted her back, his eyes filled with anxiety and heartache.

"Why are you so delicate?"

He complained in a low voice, but his tone was incredibly soft.

"It burned like this just from a breeze."

After feeding her water, he put her back on the pillow.

I was just about to get up to change the water in the basin.

A burning hot hand suddenly emerged from under the covers.

She gripped his wrist tightly.

Powerful.

The nails were so big they dug into his flesh.

"Don't go..."

Wen Ning closed his eyes and began to talk nonsense.

His voice trembled, filled with fear.

"I'm not running... I really'm not running anymore..."

"Don't punish me..."

Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment.

He took her hand in return and sat down again.

"I'm not leaving."

"No one will punish you."

He thought she was dreaming about the days he had imprisoned her, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

however.

next second.

Wen Ning's body suddenly convulsed violently.

She felt as if she had been electrocuted, and curled up in a ball on the big bed.

Her expression turned extremely pained.

His face contorted in pain, and cold sweat instantly soaked his hair.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream escaped from her throat.

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

"No...please don't shock me...please don't shock me..."

Jiang Ci's hand suddenly froze.

电？

What kind of electricity?

He leaned down and brought his face close to hers.

"Wen Ning? Wake up! What are you talking about?"

Wen Ning couldn't hear him at all.

She was trapped in that deepest nightmare.

Although the memories of the system were erased, the deep-seated physical pain and the fear of being electrocuted remained as remnants of the subconscious.

When the body is extremely weak, it retaliates like a ghost.

"I'll be good... I'll be good..."

She cried out, tears streaming uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

"I'm doing a quest... I'm going to do a quest..."

"As long as you don't hurt him..."

"Don't hurt Aci..."

"I'm a bad guy... let me be the bad guy then..."

"Please... don't harm his luck..."

boom--

Jiang Ci felt like something had exploded in his head.

He remained in the bent-over position, motionless.

Those deep eyes were fixed on the woman beneath him, who was crying her heart out.

Every single word.

He heard everything clearly.

But when they were put together, he couldn't understand them.

electric shock?

task?

Luck?

And that line... "Don't hurt Aci."

What are all these?

Was he talking in his sleep?

Or is it some kind of truth he has never touched, hidden beneath lies?

"Wen Ning".

Jiang Ci's voice trembled.

He shook her shoulders forcefully.

"Who shocked you? Who gave you the task?"

"Are you doing this to protect me? Isn't that right?"

Wen Ning did not answer.

She struggled in the nightmare for a while, her voice gradually weakening.

It turned into intermittent sobs.

"It hurts... my whole body aches..."

"Aci...I'm sorry..."

She released her grip on his hand.

She curled up back into the blankets, like a wounded little animal, searching for a safe corner.

Jiang Ci sat on the edge of the bed.

Looking at the red marks on her wrist where she had pinched her.

Then I saw her face covered in tears.

The doubts in my heart grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.

three years ago.

Her personality suddenly changed drastically.

One second she's being affectionate with him, the next she's being unreasonable.

Every time she says something harsh, she turns around and cries.

And that rainy night, she was so heartless, yet she cried so bitterly when he was sick.

He used to think it was her acting skills, her vanity.

but now……

"Electric shock", "Mission", "Don't hurt him".

These words are too bizarre.

It's so bizarre that it doesn't seem like a normal reason for breaking up at all.

Is it...

Is someone pressuring her?

Is someone controlling or threatening her through some means?

Jiang Ci's eyes gradually turned sinister.

An unprecedented chill rose from the depths of my heart.

It would be a lie to say I don't love you.

If the betrayal is fake.

If everything she did, including the harm she caused, was to... protect him?

So, those three years of his life.

What exactly are they hating?

What did he do to her again?

Jiang Ci dared not think any further.

That possibility is terrifying.

It was so terrifying that it sent chills down his spine.

He stretched out his hand.

He pulled Wen Ning, blanket and all, into his arms.

Tightly.

It was as if he wanted to crush her, or as if he wanted to confirm her existence.

"Don't be afraid."

He whispered in her ear.

His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of ruthless determination.

"No matter who it is."

"Whether it's a human or a ghost."

"As long as I dare to hurt you."

"I'll make him suffer a terrible death."

Wen Ning gradually calmed down in his arms.

That familiar temperature dispelled the chill in my dream.

Jiang Ci held her in his arms.

Looking out at the pitch-black night.

Those eyes no longer held a simple mix of love and hate.

Instead, it carries a sharper, more inquisitive edge, a desire to tear through all the fog of mystery.

If that's really the case.

If there really is something hidden.

So.

Even if you turn the whole world upside down.

He also wants to get to the bottom of this.
