Qin Shi finally stopped rambling and gestured for Gu Anjin to enter the room.
The room's decor was simple, with some medical equipment added.
The curtains were drawn tightly, not letting a bit of light through.
Huo Xun lay on the bed, and even in the dim light, his pallor was evident.
"Why are you dressed like that?" He squinted his long eyes and frowned at the first sight of Gu Anjin. "Where's your protection?"
Gu Anjin tugged at the scarf around her chest. "What I wear is my freedom."
"Freedom." Huo Xun's tone had a hint of mocking amusement.
Gu Anjin knew what he was mocking, but thinking of Yue Siqing's promise, she had struggled internally, yet still wanted to try trusting him.
Having loved someone for so many years, it's not easy to change in an instant.
"But I'm really a bit surprised that you came to see me." Huo Xun noticed some words she didn't want to hear, so he quickly changed the subject, a smile tugging at his lips. "Want to see if I'm dead yet?"
