Chapter 46: Regret
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Why did Min Nan’s body suddenly show signs of abnormality? Could it be that the herbs in the small world took effect too quickly, causing Min Nan to feel feverish due to the medicinal influence?
After feeding him the medicine, Ye Ling helped Min Nan lie down and observed him for a while. Seeing that Min Nan’s expression was normal, she felt much relieved and took the bowl to wash it.
As soon as the dormitory door closed, Min Nan, who was lying on the bed, immediately opened his eyes. His eyes gleamed like obsidian, with a hint of unusual redness at the corners.
Min Nan deeply regretted his actions at this moment.
If he had known earlier, he would not have pretended to be unconscious. He had practically set himself up for trouble!
When he deliberately tilted his body earlier, Ye Ling supported him, allowing him to rest against her shoulder. Their closeness allowed Min Nan to catch a whiff of Ye Ling’s sweet milk fragrance, and due to Ye Ling’s arm around him, he could faintly sense a soft and tender touch.
Min Nan’s breathing became erratic in that instant. It felt as if he was enveloped in a soft cotton cloud, his head spinning and heart racing.
Min Nan struggled to suppress the sensations welling up within him, trying to extinguish the fiery blaze in his chest.
But what made Min Nan a little flustered was that he could not control his emotions and thoughts. His body temperature rose bit by bit, and his heartbeat was frighteningly fast. What was even more terrifying was that a strong impulse suddenly appeared between his legs. A few seconds later, a certain organ underwent a shameful change!
At that moment, cold sweat was almost dripping down Min Nan’s forehead. His body was extremely stiff, and it was extremely difficult for him to breathe.
Fortunately, Ye Ling didn’t notice anything and left after feeding him the medicine.
Guessing that Ye Ling wouldn’t be back for the time being, Min Nan sat up and lifted the blanket. He saw that he was only wearing a pair of shorts.
Since he had come in soaked from the rain, when Ye Ling and Li Bin had helped him in, he had been completely drenched.
Of course, Min Nan didn’t believe Ye Ling had removed his pants. A young girl wouldn’t do such a thing. Ye Ling must have enlisted Li Bin’s help.
Staring at the bulge between his legs, Min Nan felt both embarrassed and ashamed. Simultaneously, he was perplexed.
He wasn’t the type of person to lose control of his desires.
Even when Liu Lin had teased him, he hadn’t experienced any desire. Min Nan was a resolute soldier, and for more than twenty years, he had been confident in his ability to maintain full control over his body.
Could it be that the change in partner triggered these unfamiliar sensations?
Min Nan felt that this was probably not the reason.
Although he liked Ye Ling, his love was pure. Even if he was nervous because of Ye Ling’s approach, he wouldn’t have any evil thoughts.
At most, he had allowed himself to fantasize about holding hands or embracing Ye Ling.
After pondering for a moment, Min Nan suddenly realized the root cause of the issue.
It was the poison he had been administered!
The poison Liu Lin had given him was exceedingly peculiar. Not only did it have aphrodisiac effects, but it also weakened one’s will and affect behavior.
In the old house, he had intentionally harmed himself, using the intense pain to temporarily regain his senses. Afterward, he fought with Wang Gang and others, losing significant blood and exhausting himself to the point of unconsciousness.
After he fainted, even if a portion of the drug had been taken away, there would still be some residue. The residual drug had affected him, causing him to lose control of himself when he got close to Ye Ling and develop a primitive impulse.
So, that was the reason.
Min Nan understood the cause, yet he couldn’t excuse himself using this explanation. He still loathed himself.
Regardless of the reason, the reality was undeniable.
He had restrained himself in front of Liu Lin, but in Ye Ling’s presence, he had allowed himself to devolve into this state. He had let Ye Ling down! Even if he had feelings for Ye Ling, he couldn’t engage in such behavior on her bed!
As Min Nan thought about lying on Ye Ling’s bed in only his shorts, the organs between his legs seemed to intensify. He quickly banished his thoughts and pulled the blanket over himself.
Ye Ling soon entered. She walked over to Min Nan and placed her hand on his forehead, muttering to herself, “No fever.”
Outside, Ye Ling suddenly remembered that Min Nan had been soaked by the rain. She wondered if Min Nan’s elevated body temperature might be due to a fever, but it appeared that wasn’t the case.
Perhaps it was the effect of the poison? Ye Ling was uncertain. She pulled Min Nan’s wrist from under the blanket and conducted another assessment.
Min Nan’s breathing had become much steadier. This indicated that the herbs in the small world were highly effective for detoxification.
However, Ye Ling was puzzled by Min Nan’s evident emotional fluctuations..
What was going on? Had he experienced a nightmare while unconscious?
