Should I be grateful or resentful?

  The night still arrives as scheduled, only today my house is unexpectedly quiet. Sitting at the desk, I write in my diary with a pen that sometimes forgets what I wrote just now.

  Cotton candy. I looked up and glanced out of the window. The moon was full, and it just so happened that today was the day of the month when the moon is round.

  "How strange!" I muttered, it was really strange. Normally, there should be someone making a ruckus outside my door, but today it was eerily quiet. I felt like a storm was brewing and was going to descend at any moment, with an inexplicable sense of unease in my heart.

  When the clock struck twelve, I let out a slight sigh of relief. It was really too difficult. Huo Xiaojiu, that drunkard, didn't come, and Huo Xiaoran, that deadbeat, also didn't show up today. Could it be that he knew I wouldn't participate in his affairs, so he went elsewhere?

  Put down the pen and raised my hand to close the notebook, but I suddenly found that my body temperature was too high! And this high fever seemed to come suddenly, without any warning signs.

  My body started to feel a slight numbness and weakness, I quickly breathed in and out, got up and walked towards the door, but it took me quite some time to open the door despite the short distance.

  "King, King's wife!" I shouted loudly, my voice echoing in the room. Just as I was about to collapse from exhaustion, I saw a figure appear at the staircase and began to thank heaven silently.

  "Big Auntie, what's wrong?" Wang's wife hugged me and put her hand on my forehead. Perhaps feeling the scorching temperature of my body, her face turned pale in an instant.

  "Madam! Madam!" she cried out loudly, and before long, her mother came up wearing her nightgown.

  "What's going on in the middle of the night?" She was obviously woken up and looked very unhappy. Before Wang Shu could explain my situation, Xiao Ma turned around to leave, took a few steps, and instructed Wang Shu: "Take her back to her room, after tonight it'll be fine!"

  "Ma'am?"

  I saw Wang's wife with a very anxious look on her face, and after speaking out in doubt, she looked at me with a painful expression, trying to lower my body temperature with her own hands. (Cotton Candy)

  At this moment, I couldn't say a word, but I could still see the calm and collected expression on Xiaoma's face, as if she knew I would become like this.

  "Take her back, don't make a fuss!" Looking at the absolute ruthlessness on Xiaoma's face, I was really stunned. Before, I still believed that as long as I became a good chess piece, she would set me free. But now? What does everything that's happening now mean? My heart is anxious and uneasy, my body keeps sending over a scorching feeling, my blood is even boiling like water.

  。

  My eyes turned red, tears fell down, my vision began to blur, I felt Wang's hand wiping my face, as if helping me wipe away tears. After that, my vision sank into a piece of darkness, nothing could be seen, my eyes were open, but nothing could be seen.

  Lying in bed, the scorching pain had spread from my body and was now spreading across my skin. I felt as if I were being boiled alive in a pot of water. With a chill, I curled up the corners of my mouth, and a feeling emerged from deep within me - I knew I wouldn't make it through the night!

  "Have you realized the truth?"

  Huo Xiao Ran's voice came to my ear, the cold breath touched my skin, and I suddenly felt much more comfortable. I don't know why, but because of that feeling just now, I somehow had a bit of strength. I didn't know how my hand climbed onto his body, but things just happened like that.

  When my skin came into contact with his, the pain seemed to transfer and disappeared inexplicably! When people are close to death, they will always reveal their instincts, yes! I am no exception.

  Greedily, I greedily wrapped myself around him, wanting to cover him entirely with my body. Although I heard his low sighs, I still started my movements on my own, my hands roaming more recklessly over his body.

  I'm burning, I'm so hot, I need the coolness it brings to relieve my body's intense pain: "Save... save me!" The voice I managed to muster was barely audible, sounding like a deep, mournful sigh.

  "As the one who led you into this darkness, I'm the only one who can save you."

  His voice was still icy, but to my ears, it didn't carry the same fear as before, instead, it sounded more calm. However, I was shocked by the two words "yin gua" in his sentence. In my life, I had never heard of such a thing, wasn't gua a mysterious existence from legends?

  His cold lips began to fall on my forehead, and my body started trembling with tension, my brain suddenly flashed back to the first night's events, I was afraid, fearing that such a thing would happen again, reason told me not to, to push him away, but my body honestly pulled him closer...

  Even if I clearly knew that his kiss had fallen on my face, even if I clearly felt that his hand was wandering on my body, even ifI clearly knew that the first night, it was really him!

  But I wanted more, for the first time my heart began to entangle in a complicated knot, he's a ghost, an entity that shouldn't exist in this world, why can he touch me like that, and why does my heart start to slowly regain its vitality because of his touch, even my body starts to get excited because of a ghost

  ！

  Tightly closing my eyes, I feel him, just like last time, the faint scent of seawater on his body between my breaths, on my skin, feeling his icy gentle touch, but I think it's different from last time, he is... gentle.

  He started panting rapidly beside my ear, and I arched my body due to the strange excitement in me until he let out a dull hum and stopped, covering me with his body, motionless.

  I don't know how to face such a situation, the first time I thought it was just a dream, but this time, I couldn't use dreams to explain everything because it really happened and this time I clearly felt it. With my eyes closed, I can only close my eyes and pretend that nothing has happened.

  "How long are you going to pretend?" He suddenly disappeared from my side, and his voice suddenly sounded in my ear again. I was left with a red face, directly pulling up the quilt to cover my head.

  "Go away! Go away!" I shouted loudly, at this moment my heart is extremely complicated, I haven't figured out how to face it yet, so he'd better not come to bother me.

  Mo Xiaoya, have you gone crazy? How can you do something like this with a ghost? What about your life? After shouting loudly, I didn't hear his voice again. It was only after a long while that I stuck my head out from under the covers, because if I held on any longer, I would suffocate to death inside the covers.

  He looked around the bed and he was gone. Before I could even think about what had happened to me, I didn't want to see him again.

  I dragged the quilt and entered the bathroom, in the mirror I saw those marks on my body, my hands clenched into fists. What's wrong with me? It must be Xiaoma! The image of Xiaoma at the stairs appeared in my mind...

  "It must be Xiao Ma who did something to me!" Although I'm inexperienced in worldly matters, at least I'm not stupid!

  "Hmm, hmm, hmm, so you're not a fool after all!"

  "Ah!" Because of his sudden appearance, I suddenly submerged my entire body under the bathtub, my two hands tightly hugging my own body, and the flush on my face I attributed to the hot water in the bathtub.

  He appeared on the dresser, his body leaning against the mirror, but from my angle, it looked extremely eerie. Because the mirror he was leaning against had nothing in it, yet he was clearly sitting in front of it. I tried to control myself not to pay attention to the mirror, but when I made eye contact with him, that scorching gaze made me even more terrified.

  。

  "What's wrong with my body?" I asked, and for some reason, I just felt like he knew, he must know something.

  He lifted his long legs, swung them back and forth, and then a cold smile played on the corners of his mouth: "On your wedding day, someone planted a gu worm in you, and I'm your antidote."

  "Yin Gu?"

  "Exactly!" He slightly raised his head, and it was only then that I realized he was really good-looking! That face could completely capture the hearts of countless women, no wonder Hou Xiaoqi, who looked 80% like him, could have a different beautiful woman by his side every day. As for Hou Xiaoqi, in just a few days, I had already heard numerous rumors about him.

  Not only are there career women who want to fly high and become phoenixes, but also those big sisters from famous families. However, he is notorious for his one-night stands! Just one night, after which he won't have any more entanglements with any woman. Although it's not clear why he does this, however...

  My gaze fell on Huo Xiao Ran's face, and he? Could it be that he is also like this?

  "Yun Li had thought about how to deal with you before you even entered the door, Yin Gu. If there is no antidote, on every full moon day of each month, you will have a toxic outbreak, until your life slowly withers away, and then, from a medical perspective, you will die a natural death!"

  "What?" On the night of the full moon, thinking back, both times I had contact with him were really on the night of the full moon! And then...I looked at him, he wasn't trying to take advantage of me, but was trying to keep me alive?

  "She, why did she do this? I had clearly said that I wouldn't think about the Huo family, I wouldn't participate, and I even endured ridicule from others in front of everyone at the company to show my stance. Why did she do this?" As for Xiaoma, I realized a serious problem - could it be that from the start, Xiaoma never planned to let me leave the Huo family alive?

  "Why? Because she needs someone to inherit the will that I made without her knowledge, and she plans to change the surname of the Huo family to Yun!"

  As I listened to him say this, I really didn't know whether I should hate all the people of the Huo family or thank the vengeful spirit in front of me who had already died!
