Im Your Antidote
← Ch.138 | Ch.140 → |
Just as Tang Moling was about to shyly express his willingness, Mu Jingzhe interrupted him."Don't speak! You're not allowed to peek or move either. Be obedient, or I'll knock you out again."
Mu Jingzhe considered whether she should continue knocking him out, but she didn't do so in the end. It wouldn't be good if she kept knocking him out and damaged his brain or something.
Tang Moling could tell that Mu Jingzhe was serious, so he said helplessly, "Alright, I won't peek. I won't move either."
Compared to being subjected to you-know-what in an unconscious state, it was better for him to stay awake so that Mu Jingzhe couldn't deny it in the future.
He expressed his cooperation, but after a while, Mu Jingzhe didn't move. He couldn't help but call out, "Jingzhe?"
Was she feeling shy?
"I told you not to talk!" Mu Jingzhe was troubled enough by her own situation. Although Tang Moling was already under her control and she wasn't naked, she still felt uncomfortable being locked in this space with him. She didn't want Tang Moling to make a sound at all.
Tang Moling shut up and strained his ears to catch any movement.
Perhaps it was because he couldn't move his hands and his eyes were covered, but Tang Moling's other senses were abnormally sensitive right now. For example, he could smell the faint fragrance that he had smelled on Mu Jingzhe before.
He could also detect Mu Jingzhe's frustration. He thought that there was actually no need for her to be so frustrated, but he restrained himself and did not speak.
He fell silent, yet the atmosphere didn't feel right. Mu Jingzhe couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "You're not up to something, are you? You're not peeking, are you?"
She stretched out her hand and gestured in front of Tang Moling, regretting that she hadn't tried to see if her clothes were seen through.
"No, " Tang Moling answered honestly. He didn't say that after he got used to it, although he still couldn't see clearly, he could see a rough silhouette of everything. The lights were the brightest, and he could also roughly see Mu Jingzhe's silhouette.
Earlier, when she had approached him, he had felt her hot breath, and the fragrance had grown stronger. 𝐟𝙧e𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃noѵ𝘦𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
Tang Moling's throat bobbed."Are you okay?" His voice was hoarse and magnetic.
However, this sound was stopped by the flowing water, and nothing else remained. Mu Jingzhe didn't hear it at all."What?"
"I asked if you are okay. Do you need me to help you?" Tang Moling asked subtly. If Mu Jingzhe was feeling too tormented and was too shy to make a move, he could help. All she had to do was untie him.
He had seen how powerful these drugs were. Sometimes, they could drive people crazy. Plus, she wouldn't be able to find an antidote for a while. This situation would be tough in the city, let alone in Great Eastern Village. Mu Jingzhe couldn't very well go on enduring it.
At the thought of this, he couldn't help but recall the conversation between Li Zhaodi and Mu Jingzhe a long time ago. Li Zhaodi had said that Mu Jingzhe was still a virgin.
Back then, because he'd detested Mu Jingzhe, he had even laughed at them when he'd heard that. However, when he thought about it now, his heart started beating faster.
Back then, the person Shao Qihai had wanted to marry was Mu Xue. He was very clear about this. It wasn't impossible that Shao Qihai had not touched Mu Jingzhe. Besides, not long after they'd gotten married, Shao Qihai had passed away. Therefore, Li Zhaodi probably wasn't lying about this.
In the past, because of Mu Xue, he had always hated Shao Qihai. Today, for the first time, he felt a little grateful to Shao Qihai.
Grateful to him for being so understanding and devoted to Mu Xue that he hadn't touched this treasure and left her to him.
No wonder Mu Jingzhe hadn't made a move all this time. It was normal for her to not dare make a move due to her inexperience. Although he didn't have much experience either, he was better than her...
Just as Tang Moling's thoughts became colorful, he heard Mu Jingzhe sneer.
"What can you help me with? You're not even as strong as me. Do you think you can open the door by shouting 'Open Sesame'?"
Tang Moling: "..."
That wasn't what he'd meant by helping, alright?
Mu Jingzhe had no idea what Tang Moling was thinking. After that sarcastic 'Open Sesame' remark, she suddenly paused. The original Mu Jingzhe's childhood memories suddenly all came back to her.
Oh right, sesame. The original Mu Jingzhe was allergic to sesame.
That was something that had happened when she was young. She couldn't remember if she had been five or six years old at the time. Because she had been too gluttonish, she'd secretly eaten the candy that Old Lady Mu had specially bought for Mu Xue. The top of the candy had been covered with sesame, and she'd marveled at how fragrant it was after taking just one bite.
Unfortunately, due to the sesame seeds stuck in her teeth, she had been discovered after eating a small piece. Not only had she been beaten up by Old Madam Mu, but she'd also had an allergic reaction that had lasted for a while.
She recalled feeling hot and uncomfortable back then as well. She'd had to take off her clothes, for she had only felt comfortable naked.
Li Zhaodi had been so anxious that she'd asked the village doctor to take a look at her. Later on, the doctor had said that she might have eaten something she shouldn't have eaten. In other words, she was allergic to sesame.
There weren't many people who were allergic to sesame. Coincidentally, Mu Jingzhe was one of them. In addition, the symptoms of this allergy were relatively special. It caused one's skin to feel hot and itchy, and they felt uncomfortable with clothes on.
This allergic reaction was comparable to being drugged with that special sort of drug. It was no wonder she had misunderstood previously.
In her previous life, Mu Jingzhe didn't have any allergies, so it hadn't immediately occurred to her. Furthermore, there were very few opportunities to eat sesame in this day and age. It was no wonder she didn't have a deep memory of this and hadn't remembered it. Coincidentally, she had transmigrated a long time ago but had yet to eat sesame, so she had been unaware.
When she recalled this, Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief. Although allergies weren't fantastic either, judging from her condition, if she experienced no other symptoms, it would be better than being drugged with that kind of drug, as she would only be taking off her own clothes and wouldn't lose control or take off other people's clothes.
"I was nearly scared to death."
Mu Jingzhe had instantly figured out a lot of things, but Tang Moling didn't know this. He felt very helpless while hearing Mu Jingzhe's disdainful words.
Yes, he couldn't open the cement door, but he could help her! He was her antidote!
Tang Moling wanted to take the initiative to say it, but seeing how stubborn Mu Jingzhe was, he decided to punish her by not saying anything. He wanted to see how long she could hold it in. This way, Mu Jingzhe wouldn't be ungrateful to him in the future or even play the blame game.
Of course, Tang Moling wouldn't admit that he actually wanted to know what it was like to have Mu Jingzhe take the initiative... Ahem.
Tang Moling calmed down after sorting out his thoughts. He waited calmly for Mu Jingzhe to lose control of herself.
Now that Mu Jingzhe knew what was going on, she relaxed and listened to the commotion outside, waiting for Little Bei and the others to find her.
When the kids didn't see her upon coming back, they would naturally come to look for her. Mu Jingzhe was very sure about that. However, she was quite unlucky this time, as Shao Qiyang happened to be working overtime.
With Shao Qiyang working overtime, the children could only wait for him. It was already past eleven when they returned home.
"Mommy, we're back!"
As soon as she got out of the car, Little Bei shouted. However, she saw that the house was dark and there wasn't much light. When she looked in the room, Mu Jingzhe wasn't there either.
Without hesitation, the five kids started looking for Mu Jingzhe. They first went to the Mu Residence to look for her. When they saw that she wasn't at the Mu Residence, they got anxious and started to expand their range.
They knew that something must have happened to Mu Jingzhe. Otherwise, she wouldn't have disappeared without leaving behind a message. In the past, no matter where Mu Jingzhe went, she would leave a note if she expected to be gone for two hours or more.
By now, most of the villagers had already gone to bed. However, when they heard the sound of the kids searching for Mu Jingzhe, a few families got up to help.
