Nan Zhi could smell the metallic scent of blood.

She furrowed her eyebrows, turning away from the bowl. She was furious. "Gu Sheng, how crazy are you?"

Gu Sheng grabbed the back of Nan Zhi's head, the rare dominance appearing in his usually gentle voice, "Drink it."

Nan Zhi's eyelashes fluttered terribly. She shut her lips tightly, not willing to drink the blood he was feeding her.

Who was willing to drink another person's blood? He was completely crazy! When Nan Zhi was stubborn, it was definitely enough to make a person furious.

Gu Sheng's expression darkened, as his long fingers pinched her chin and poured the bowl of blood into her mouth forcefully.

He dazed a little when he saw her mouth filled with his blood.

It felt like a level of intimacy that they never had, and caused a soft ripple in his heart.

Nan Zhi felt completely numb after drinking the bowl of blood. She felt like her entire body was frozen in disgust.

She wanted to vomit it out, but Gu Sheng did not let her.

He pressed her against his chest forcefully, his large palm patting her back softly. "Bear with it. You won't be disgusted again after drinking it for seven days."

Nan Zhi's heart thumped.

She did not think that Gu Sheng had reached this level of craziness!

However, she probably did not have the life to live another seven days!

Nan Zhi did not know why he was force feeding her his blood. But somehow, apart from the disgust she felt at first, she felt her body feeling strangely better from before after she drank his blood.

The pain and weak feeling she had felt since she had awoken seemed less oppressive and stifling.

She did not know if she was hallucinating either.

However, she was still easily exhausted, so she went to bed early.

Gu Sheng sat by the bed, staring at her changed face from the poison. He curled his fingers, touching the tip of her nose lightly.

"Little Flower, don't be afraid. Brother Gu Sheng won't hurt you again."

He leaned down and placed a light kiss on her forehead.

It was a sincere kiss.

He got up and wrapped the cut on his arm carelessly.

For the next seven days, Nan Zhi's eyes were covered while her hands were tied together by Gu Sheng.

He cooked for her and fed her everyday, before he forced fed her a bowl of his blood.

Nan Zhi could not see anything, but she could feel the change in her body.

When she was poisoned, she could feel every cell within her aging at a tremendous speed. Her skin was loose, while her voice was hoarse as well. However, her voice started to change slowly as the days of her drinking a bowl of blood passed.

Her body was changing too.

She felt like a rusted robot that had been renewed.

She felt reborn.

Her wrists could not move, but her legs could.

She secretly got off the bed when Gu Sheng was not in the room.

Walking did not feel tough to her anymore, as her legs became more agile and she could walk as before.

What was happening?

Could it be that Gu Sheng's blood was the antidote to the lethal poison in her body?

On the seventh day, Nan Zhi's voice had returned to the crisp and pleasant voice she had before. It was no longer the screeching hoarseness that grated on her ears.

Her skin had also become tight and smooth.

She was filled with questions.

"Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng!" her hands were stretched in front of her as she walked out of the room. She took a deep breath, smelling the fragrant smell of cooking. She started walking towards the kitchen.

"Gu Sheng, I know you're here! Until when are you going to kidnap me?" Nan Zhi guessed faintly that Gu Sheng did not appear here to hurt her intentionally, but to save her.

If he did not appear, she might have already died in these seven days.

She really wanted to remove the cloth covering her eyes to see if she had regained her appearance.

"Little Flower, don't hurry. I'm almost done with the last dish."

He was not answering her again!

She had asked him to untie her the past few days. However, he always changed the conversation and distracted her.

Gu Sheng placed the last dish on the dining table, before he pulled Nan Zhi to take a seat.

He stared at her small face, smiling gently, "Little Flower, you have to eat more in the future. You're too thin now."

Nan Zhi really wanted to retort that he was the reason why she was so thin now.

However, she swallowed the words that almost left her lips at the thought of how well he treated her in the past few days.

She hated Gu Sheng, but she hated herself more.

The moment he treated her nicely, she could not force herself to be ruthless to him.

He was the one who almost got her killed first.

Gu Sheng scooped a spoonful of rice, before he took some of the dishes that Nan Zhi liked to eat in the past. He brought the spoon to her mouth. "It's my last time feeding you now. I'll untie you after you finish all of your food."

Gu Sheng's voice was not as clear and pleasant as it was in the past. His voice was more hoarse now.

Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows. "Can I believe you again?"

Actually, what was the point, whether she could believe him or not?

If he wanted to kill her in these few days, she would not be able to live until now.

Gu Sheng fed Nan Zhi scoop by scoop, before he got up to walk behind her. He then untied her wrists.

Nan Zhi moved her wrists, before lifting her hands to remove the blinds covering her eyes.

She took a deep breath when she saw light again.

She seemed to think about something and turned back to look behind her.

The man standing behind her had left unknowingly.

Nan Zhi hurriedly ran out, forgetting about finding a mirror.

Her hands and legs had turned back into what they were originally.

They were agile and strong.

Her skin was smooth and fair.

Her appearance should have regained its previous looks as well.

Did that mean that the poison in her body was gone?

When Nan Zhi ran out of the house, Gu Sheng was already carrying a simple black bag. He was at the path in front of the house, ready to leave.

He was the same tall and slender young lad in her memories.

However, there was a slight depressed and lonely feeling emanating around him.

Not knowing why, Nan Zhi's tears fell when she saw his back.

"Gu Sheng!"

Nan Zhi seemed to have thought about something when she thought about his hoarse voice. She did not care about hatred she had for him, running towards him instead.

The thin man did not seem to hear her voice, continuing walking forward purposefully.

"Gu Sheng, stop there!"

He continued to walk forward.

"If you dare take one more step, I, Nan Zhi, will never forgive you!"

The man stopped, his hoarse voice trailing over, "Little Flower, don't forgive me. Brother Gu Sheng did someone unforgivable to you. Don't ever forgive me."

With that said, he continued to walk forward.

Nan Zhi did not chase after him, choosing to fall on the ground instead as she cried out in pain.

The man who was leaving originally turned around as she'd expected, walking back towards her with big strides.

The sun was bright, and the glaring sunlight was right above his head. She could not see his face too clearly as a result.

He bent down, helping her stand up from the ground. "Are you hurt?"

Now that Gu Sheng was close to him, she had finally taken a clear look of his appearance.

Her lips trembled, as she looked at him in disbelief. "Why… why are you…?"

His skin was still fair, and he looked as handsome and gentle seven days ago. However, within a short time, he had aged drastically, as there were small wrinkles by the side of his eyes, while his skin was not as smooth and tight as before.
