Chapter 6: 6.第6章 节操碎一地，捡吗？【6】

She gripped Ji Yi's hand tightly, but as their bodies struggled, the distance between them grew smaller and smaller—so close that she could even hear his heavy breathing and the thumping of his heart. No way... I'm dead, I'm dead!

Zhu Jie struggled with all her might, using both her hands and feet; right now, her only thought was to quickly break free from this man's grip.

But the more violently she moved, the tighter Ji Yi squeezed. As the two of them twisted and turned, suddenly, they both stopped moving!

What was that? Zhu Jie wasn't some foolish person from ancient times who would think this guy brought a weapon to bed; she knew what that thing was called, and she knew the dangers of it. Oh, she was a pure maiden! A pure maiden who had lived two lifetimes! How could she let herself be ruined in such a muddled way by a guy whose name she didn't even know?

Zhu Jie almost cried! No, wait, the name wasn't important—her chastity, she had to protect it!

At this moment, Ji Yi felt like crying too! No way? A spark ignited? With a man? No! He didn't want to be ruined by a man!

Suddenly, the two of them let go of each other in an unexpected manner. Panicked, they both turned around at the same time, returning to a back-to-back position. Neither wanted the other to see their flushed faces; this was too embarrassing!

Zhu Jie wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, not daring to make a sound, let alone move. She didn't want to provoke this man who was acting like he was brandishing a gun in warning!

Ji Yi also didn't dare move an inch. He couldn't accept that he actually had feelings for a man. Could it be that he had guarded his virtue for too long and was now losing the ability to distinguish between genders?

"I am a normal man!" Ji Yi suddenly said with extreme solemnity.

Zhu Jie was instantly stunned by his words. What? Was he threatening her? Was he trying to say he would definitely devour her tonight?

Don't! Zhu Jie could already see the man behind her instantly transforming into a werewolf and pouncing on her—those lecherous eyes! No! Someone save her!

But just then, a nonsensical sentence from Ji Yi left Zhu Jie completely dazed. "Brother, I know you're suffering from pent-up frustration, but a fine man shouldn't have such thoughts! One must keep their body upright!"

A fine man? Keep one's body upright? What was he talking about? Was he referring to what she was thinking?

In a flash of inspiration, Zhu Jie quickly pulled back the corner of the quilt, only to suddenly burst into a laugh that echoed through the heavens.

Ji Yi was dumbfounded. Had he said something wrong? He only hoped that his views on love and... that other stuff... could be a bit more correct. Was he wrong? Why had this person suddenly gone mad?

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Yi asked tentatively. Now, he was the one panicking.

Zhu Jie, however, said with a laugh, "It's nothing, it's nothing! Go to sleep!" As she spoke, she lay down peacefully, but her whole body still couldn't stop her from giggling uncontrollably, which truly terrified Ji Yi!

*I'm being too muddled!* Zhu Jie couldn't help but think to herself. She was wearing men's clothing! How could she have forgotten? She was truly out of it!

Yes, for the sake of convenience during her journey, she had been wearing men's clothing the whole time; she had simply forgotten for a moment, causing such a huge joke!

So this man wasn't a pervert! That was great. Zhu Jie breathed a soft sigh of relief. And since he thought she was a man, there shouldn't be any trouble, right? Zhu Jie calculated silently in her heart, and just like that, she fell asleep.

Drowsiness swept over her like waves, and she finally could not resist the warm temptation, slowly sinking into dreamland.

What kind of dream was it?

The person beside her was constantly tossing and turning. Ji Yi suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap tightly around him. No way? Again?

Before he could push the other person away, a muffled sound of weeping reached his ears. "Mother, Mother, I miss you so much! Mother, I'm cold, hug me, hug me!"

Mother? Ji Yi was slightly taken aback. He turned his head gently, only to see a pair of slightly trembling eyes. At some unknown point, her eyelashes had become covered in crystal-clear tears. The teardrops fell like a broken string, wetting the pillow and their hair.

But she did not wake up; she only sobbed incessantly, murmuring softly in her sleep. Her embrace grew even tighter, so tight that he could hardly breathe.

But looking at her equally pained face, that face soaked in tears, Ji Yi could not bear it. He did not push her hands away, but instead slowly and warmly embraced her!

The moment his arms wrapped around her, she suddenly grew quiet. Her tightly furrowed brows smoothed out inexplicably. She smiled. Yes, she actually smiled. It was a beautiful smile.
