One bothrops coiled itself around a twig, which drooped from its heavy weight .
It seemed to have smelled something captivating . Its triangular head was aloft as its vertical pupils narrowed murderously .
A long dark shadow assaulted her immediately after .
Her hand moved swiftly to grab the snake’s throat . The light arch of her brow seemed to suggest that she was unhappy at its sneak attack .
The snake opened its mouth wide open and revealed its sharp fangs when she reached out to touch its head .
Her cold eyes narrowed as she looked at the snake in the face before she tore it apart with her bare hands . Its blood splattered on the ground as it was dumped on the grass, attracting a swarm of ants .
She plucked some ripe, wild fruit from the tree and handed them to the twins .

Little Yichen glanced at her before reaching for the fruit in her hand . He rubbed it on his shirt to remove the dew and mud and then took a bite .
It tasted sour, bitter, and tart .
A sudden frown warped his features .
Youyou also bit on the fruit . It was so sour that his eyes shut tightly; the taste was indescribable .
The girl sat beside him, took a bite of the wild fruit, and swallowed it nonchalantly .

“We’ll have to hurry . ” He got to his feet . “We must reach the rendezvous point before 10 AM . ”
“I’ll give you a piggyback . ” His brother stepped forward .
He waved his hand dismissively in reply . “No need! I can walk on my own . ”
With that, he stubbornly held up his tired body and walked ahead .
Filled with heartache, the older twin rushed forward and carefully guarded his side .

At this moment, she quietly lay in bed with tubes all over her body . Her face was ghastly pale and she was still unconscious .
At dawn, her eyelids trembled and she woke up in a daze .
The moment her eyes opened, though, she was frightened by the dark figure quietly sitting at her bedside .
With the person’s back to the window, she could not see his appearance clearly . She could only feel the cold air emanating from him .
Her shriek broke the long silence in the ward .
“AHHH!”
The light flickered on the next second, lighting up the ward .
Mu Lianjue’s blank face came into view .
She flinched when she finally identified the person sitting by the bed and sighed in relief thereafter . His overcast look frightened her so much that her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little stifled .
She had no idea how long she was unconscious . Despite her being in a trance after being pulled out of her critical condition, she inevitably felt nervous upon seeing his sullen face .
What happened?
What was with his look? What exactly happened?
The man opened his mouth . “Hmph . You’re finally awake!”
She was unconscious for a whole day and night .
