Chapter 229: So It Was Him

The warm water slid down her throat, soothing the discomfort in Lin Zhiyi's throat.

She gradually stabilized, and the warm fingertips of the person in front of her brushed against her lips, as if touching some treasure.

He leaned closer and closer, his burning breath fell on Lin Zhiyi's face.

She instinctively held her breath, and although everything before her eyes was blurry, she could feel that he was very, very close to her.

Close enough that a slight movement would lead to their lips touching.

At that moment, the medicine took full effect, and Lin Zhiyi's body went limp, and she collapsed onto the couch.

Soon, a tall figure came over and held her tightly in his arms, the sound of his heartbeat dominating her ears.

It was somehow reassuring.

In her dazed state, she felt a soft touch on her forehead.

"Sleep."

His deep voice, as if magical, allowed Lin Zhiyi to fall into darkness.
