Chapter 4682 — I Wronged You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At the sight, Huo Yudie nearly fainted. By now it wasn't just her leg—her entire lower half had gone numb and senseless, and Wei Zhao happened to be lying right under her skirt. She thought he had been sucking at her private parts all this time, and in a fit of shame and fury, tears streaming down her face, she bawled: "You're shameless! You're despicable!"
"Damn it!" Only then did Wei Zhao understand the misunderstanding. He stood up at once and stared at Huo Yudie coldly, face dark with displeasure. "What's your problem, girl? I risked my life to suck the deadly venom of that freak insect out of you, and you call me shameless and despicable? Fine! Since that's how it is, lie here by yourself and take your time. I'm not staying. Bye!"
His relationship with this girl had never been good to begin with, and this time he'd gone out on a limb to heal her—nobody could ask more than that. Yet she hadn't the faintest clue what was going on and had actually turned around and cursed him. Truly, no good deed goes unpunished—like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, she couldn't tell a benefactor's kindness from ill intent!
Seeing Wei Zhao pat his rear end and turn to leave without a moment's hesitation, Huo Yudie finally remembered with a jolt: she did seem to have been bitten by something, and then swiftly gone numb all over and fainted. So it really hadn't been Wei Zhao's doing after all? She had misunderstood him?
At that thought, Huo Yudie instinctively tried to move, and found that aside from the leg she'd tried to kick Wei Zhao with—which wouldn't move at all—the rest of her, though still somewhat numb, wasn't entirely immobilized. Her upper body in particular, less affected by the toxin, could mostly move freely.
"Ah!" Huo Yudie was dumbstruck. She wasn't a fool who couldn't see reason—the facts lay right before her, plain as day.
That freak insect's venom had knocked her out in the blink of an eye. With poison that vicious, the consequences of having no one to draw it out were obvious!
And now she had improved considerably, which meant Wei Zhao really had been sucking out the poison for her. It was just that the bite was in a rather private place, so the position was easy to misinterpret.
"Wait! You... wait!" Huo Yudie didn't dare hesitate another moment. She cried out and tried to scramble up and chase after Wei Zhao. She hadn't just wronged a good man—if Wei Zhao truly lost his temper and left her here, in her state, unable even to stand, being abandoned alone in this place would mean no one to turn to, no help from heaven or earth. If anything at all showed up then, the consequences didn't bear thinking about.
"What more do you want?" Wei Zhao glanced back at her and snapped irritably: "This shameless wretch keeping his distance from you ought to suit you just fine, no? Saves me from pulling any more shady tricks—a clean break is good. Don't worry, it's easier for me too. Wins all around!"
"Don't... don't go!" Huo Yudie's pretty face flushed—had it not been for her veil, one would have seen her cheeks nearly dripping blood. Her voice weak and barely audible, she murmured: "I'm sorry. I wronged you."
"Oh, so you know you were wrong. Good, that saves me from being slapped with a trumped-up charge—I couldn't bear it." Wei Zhao stopped in his tracks as he spoke. (To be continued...) R752
