Chapter 66 The most frightening thing is seeing people cry.
It wasn't that she was really alright; she just didn't want Chu Chu to worry. But she forgot that her hand was swollen like a pig's trotter. As soon as she raised it, Chu Chu's tears flowed out like a burst dam.
"Waaaaah, Yan Yan, your hands, how did your hands get like this..."
Seeing Lu Jinyan's hands swollen and almost deformed, Chu Chu felt extremely distressed. She had never felt so useless before. If her cultivation level were higher, she might be able to help Yan Yan.
"Cough cough, I, I'm really fine, Chuchu, don't cry, really..."
Lu Jinyan was in excruciating pain all over her body, feeling as if countless needles were pricking her. Blood would flow from the corner of her mouth whenever she spoke, but she still hurriedly comforted Chu Chu when she saw her crying.
Heaven knows, the thing Lu Jinyan fears most in her life is when others cry, whether they are men, women, young or old. As soon as they cry, she feels a pricking sensation all over her body.
To be honest, this problem was something she got in her previous life, and the culprit was her childhood friend.
In her previous life, Lu Jinyan had a childhood friend who was a timid girl. Like Lu Jinyan, the girl lived with her grandparents, and her grandparents had a very good relationship with Lu Jinyan's grandparents.
The two families lived very close to each other, so the two little girls often played together. Lu Jinyan's childhood friend's family was actually quite wealthy. Her parents ran a business in the city and also owned a house in the county. However, her grandparents preferred rural life and were unwilling to move to the city.
The girl's parents were busy doing business and didn't have time to take care of her. They also felt that the nanny couldn't take good care of her, so they simply sent her back to the two grandparents to take care of her.
One summer, the little girl's grandmother fell ill and was hospitalized in the county town. Her grandfather had to go to the county hospital to take care of her grandmother, so he entrusted the little girl to Lu Jinyan's grandparents and asked them to take care of her for a few days.
The two families already had a good relationship, and since it was summer vacation and the children didn't have to go to school, and the two kids were good friends, Lu Jinyan's grandmother agreed.
Thinking that the two dolls could keep each other company, Lu Jinyan had actually liked the little girl quite a bit before. She was happy to finally have someone to play with, but she never expected that it would turn into her nightmare.
The little girl was perfectly fine during the day, with a good personality. She followed Lu Jinyan all over the village and had a great time playing with the other children.
But something was wrong in the evening. I guess it was the first time the little girl had been away from her grandmother since she was a child, so she was in a bad mood during dinner. At first, no one paid much attention, thinking she was just tired from playing.
As a result, trouble broke out when it was time to go to bed that night. The little girl refused to sleep and cried for her grandma. Lu Jinyan, who was sleeping with her, tried to comfort her when she saw her crying, but she couldn't soothe her at all and the girl cried even louder.
Finally, there was no other way but to have her grandmother come and coax her to sleep. It took a lot of effort to finally get her to sleep. We thought that would be the end of it, but little did we know that this was just the beginning of a nightmare.
That guy would cry when he woke up to pee in the middle of the night, cry when he woke up in the morning, and cry when he went to sleep at night. That was the first time Lu Jinyan realized that someone could cry so much.
Tears flowed like they were free, and her forehead throbbed from crying. I never realized she could cry so much when I played with her before.
The little girl stayed at Lu Jinyan's house for almost half a month, and Lu Jinyan was almost driven crazy by her. During the day, she was fine, but at night she would start crying. The worst part was that she cried silently, just hiding under the covers and crying secretly by herself. It was heartbreaking to watch.
The feeling was like being bullied, incredibly aggrieved. Lu Jinyan had never thought that crying alone was so terrifying before, but after that girl came to her house, she realized that tears really could be very damaging.
Later, the little girl's grandmother recovered and took her away. Lu Jinyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that if the girl had stayed in their house for a few more days, she would have gone crazy.
Later, the girl's parents took them to the city, and she never saw her again. However, the two families still kept in touch. Later, the girl went abroad to study, and they rarely contacted each other anymore.
Ever since that incident, Lu Jinyan has been particularly afraid of people crying. Now, seeing Chu Chu cry, her nightmarish memories immediately resurfaced.
"I'm really fine, look..." Lu Jinyan wanted to say a few more words to comfort Chu Chu, but her mouth was blocked by something halfway through her sentence.
Lu Jinyan looked down and saw an arm so thin it was just skin and bones lying in front of her. Following the arm, Lu Jinyan saw a very handsome face – it was Ruohan.
After Ruohan regained his mobility, he managed to tidy up his messy hair, revealing his face. Ruohan was very handsome, giving off a gentle and peaceful feeling, like a spring breeze. Although he was very thin now, to the point of looking somewhat gaunt, his features were still very beautiful.
At this moment, what she was holding in her mouth was Ruohan's wrist. A warm substance flowed from Ruohan's wrist into her mouth. She knew it was Ruohan's blood, but what she found strange was that she didn't taste any blood.
Instead, she smelled a very sweet aroma, and Lu Jinyan quickly pushed Ruohan's wrist away: "What are you doing? You're already like this, and you still... are you trying to kill yourself!"
Lu Jinyan wanted to say something, but considering that there were other people around, she didn't want others to know that Ruohan's blood was anything special, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
"Miss Lu, I'm fine..." Ruohan pulled his wrist back into his sleeve. Looking at Lu Jinyan's pale face and swollen hands, he felt a pang of heartache.
"Ding! Ruohan's favorability +1, current favorability is 3!"
"Ding! Ruohan's favorability +1, current favorability is 4!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully increased Ruohan's favorability to 4%. Reward: 2000 points, 200 Mandarin Duck Stones, 50 Cultivation Pills... Keep up the good work, host!"
Lu Jinyan didn't have time to pay attention to the system's announcement. She had to deal with the immediate situation first. The talismans had all been torn up and the formation had been destroyed. The Wang family would find out soon, so they didn't have much time and had to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Everyone, now that I've torn up all the talismans and destroyed the formation, we must unite and help each other. We need to leave here before the Wang family arrives!"
