Chapter 561: Revealing His Pain, Part 3
Song Yinyin was truly furious, so much so that she couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer and just let it all out.Love tribulations, perhaps this is what it’s like, reducing one to ashes.
Someone once said love is a leap into the unknown—despite all her caution, she still jumped in without a second thought.
And now, it seemed she deserved it; suspended in mid-air, not knowing where she would land—in the sea, on the riverbank, or a heap of rocks...
She felt nothing but grievance deep down.
The more she thought about it, the more unbearable it became, tears falling like strings of broken pearls, large and heavy.
Once she was too tired to cry anymore, Lu Jihan finally cradled her face gently and spoke softly:
"Yes, I hid it from you; it was my fault. But the reason I didn’t tell you was that I was afraid it would terrify you. The Blood Curse Poison is extremely insidious. Although I confirmed you’re my antidote after meeting you, I never intended to use you to cure my Blood Curse Poison."
"Because, until now, this poison only exists in South American legends, and there’s no definitive explanation on why it occurs, how to cure it, or if there are any aftereffects, nor are there medical texts to refer to. The only thing I know is, if this poison can’t be cured, it would not only endanger my life but harm you too!"
"In fact, Uncle Rong urged me multiple times to be honest with you, but I didn’t dare, because I dreamt several times that after you broke the curse for me, you spewed blood and died, so... I was scared."
As he mentioned the scenes from his dreams, Lu Jihan’s amber eyes appeared a bit unsettled. The scenes were so vivid that every time he dreamt of them, he would awake, covered in cold sweat.
"If it weren’t for that one time in A City, when I was inadvertently drugged by Song Anqi, and coincidentally the Blood Curse Poison flared up as you came into my room, I wouldn’t have momentarily lost my mind and taken you."
"Because of that, I mistakenly managed to break the curse, but that wasn’t my intention..." Lu Jihan spoke intermittently, saying much.
At first, Song Yinyin wasn’t willing to listen to what he had to say; she simply thought he was lying and trying to sweet-talk her, with the intent to deceive her once again.
But gradually, she realized that every word he said came from his heart.
Later on, when he mentioned being inadvertently drugged by Song Anqi in A City and coincidentally experiencing a Blood Curse Poison episode, she looked up in surprise.
"That time in A City, was your suffering because of the Blood Curse Poison attack?" She widened her almond eyes, questioning.
Lu Jihan nodded slightly, giving a sound of affirmation.
Then, he explained in detail: "When the Blood Curse Poison strikes, it feels like ants gnawing at your entire body—not just physical pain, but from the inside out, from the heart, through every bone, down to every nerve ending, it’s an unbearable torment... Severe cases might result in fainting. That’s why I have my family doctor come to the house every month for care."
Every time such pain struck, it tormented Lu Jihan to the brink of life, struggling through three days and nights before he could regain some composure.
Song Yinyin’s mouth dropped open, momentarily lost for words.
After a long while, she finally asked, "How did you endure it before?"
Lu Jihan furrowed his brows, initially reluctant to speak, but seeing the knot in her frown, he told the truth.
"Either by sheer endurance or through self-harm."
"..." Song Yinyin was stunned, her heart couldn’t help but clench sharply.
