The Cold White Moonlight Desires Me Every Day - Chapter 49

Ruan Tang gripped the golden chain tightly, then yanked open the bedside table drawer.

She pulled out a small auto-injector and clutched it in her hand. Ni Yunshi’s gaze snapped to it, her pupils shrinking.

The drug! No…

Forget it, just use it.

It’s my fault. She should vent her anger on me.

The fear in Ni Yunshi’s eyes vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Instead, she subtly tugged the blanket down, exposing the arm where she was usually injected.

Ruan Tang’s breath hitched, her body trembling violently.

Just inject it. Just inject it, and she’ll obey! She’ll be as docile as she was during those six months. Everything will go back to how it was—perfect!

But during those six months of isolation, was she truly okay…?

Two conflicting thoughts warred within Ruan Tang’s mind, threatening to tear her apart.

Staring at the pale arm, Ruan Tang took a deep breath and finally moved.

The sharp needle pierced her skin, the sudden pain causing Ruan Tang to wince.

First time injecting myself.

Ni Yunshi’s eyes, which had just calmed, widened in shock once more.

“What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!”

She lunged forward to snatch the injector, but Ruan Tang was faster, already pushing the drug into her system.

“This is harmful to your body! Do you even realize that? Injecting yourself randomly, especially in the neck, could kill you!”

Ni Yunshi nearly roared, snatching the empty syringe and slamming it to the floor.

But Ruan Tang remained silent, simply gazing at her.

Didn’t you say I looked beautiful when I was moved? Didn’t you say you couldn’t bear to see me so mad?

Then I’ll use these to make you stay!

Whether it was the emotional buildup or the excessive dosage, within moments, Ruan Tang felt her body burning up, suffocating her, and her reactions began to slow.

A crimson flush crept across her cheeks, and the breath escaping her lips and nostrils was frighteningly hot. Her body went limp, collapsing back against the pillow, and in her daze, she could no longer grip the gold chain in her hand.

Meanwhile, Ni Yunshi, now free from restraint, scrambled off the bed and began dressing.

So, this was the heart-wrenching agony she endured every day for half a year?

So, I was this cruel to her for half a year.

No wonder she doubted my love. No wonder she wanted to leave.

Then go. I can never hold onto what I truly want…

Ruan Tang closed her eyes in despair, but a moment later, a cool sensation spread across her body.

She jerked her eyes open to see Ni Yunshi had climbed back onto the bed, slipping a nightgown over her while holding a phone to her ear, rapidly speaking to someone on the other end.

Fifteen minutes later, the family doctor arrived with his medical bag.

After a single injection, the burning discomfort gradually subsided within fifteen minutes, and her breathing stabilized.

By the time Ruan Tang fully regained consciousness, half an hour had passed.

The person she had expected to flee was still sitting quietly beside her, the gold chain she had unconsciously released still resting securely in her palm.

Following the chain upward, her gaze met Ni Yunshi’s sour expression.

She’s beautiful, plays dirty, and not only stabbed me but herself too.

Waaah, poor Xiao Tangtang is suffering so much.

Damn it! Who sold this medicine? I’ll wring the neck of that unscrupulous pharmacist!

Suffering?

She had been enduring torment for half a year.

Yet now, Ruan Tang felt no schadenfreude, not even blaming herself for her recklessness.

Ni Yunshi truly spoiled her even more than Aunt Yuan did.

Feeling guilty, Ruan Tang turned her face away under the covers. “I’m sorry…”

“You should apologize,” Ni Yunshi retorted, rolling her eyes. “You haven’t learned a thing I taught you.”

Huh?

But I did learn! Didn’t I take action before? I even had her check my homework…

“Ber!”

A sharp flick struck Ruan Tang’s forehead, causing her to wince and duck her head. Ni Yunshi spoke again, her voice earnest:

“Ruan Tang, you need to love yourself properly.”

Ruan Tang remained silent, tightening her grip on the gold chain in her hand.

The thought of how she had been swept away by emotion, even considering giving up and letting Ni Yunshi leave, filled her with lingering fear.

“Did you hear me? Hmm?”

When Ni Yunshi received no response, she forcefully turned Ruan Tang’s face toward her, forcing her to meet her gaze.

Ruan Tang still didn’t answer the question. Instead, she stared intently at Ni Yunshi and demanded, “You quit your job and packed your bags. What exactly are you planning to do?”
