Just as he was about to go in, he felt an intense, piercing pain from his ear.
The pain stunned him into stopping everything he was doing.
He felt the immense pain had subsided, but then he realized his shoulders were also in incredible pain as though someone dug their fingernails into him. He furrowed his brows, then heard the familiar, panicked shriek of a voice, "Let me go! Let me go!"
He Jichen held his pose, stopped in mid-movement.
The sound of her fighting back still rang in his ears. Her fingers didn't loosen up, but in fact, she tightened her grip. He faintly felt a sticky liquid trickle from his shoulders. The pearls of blood dripped down his skin and slowly slid down his body. He trembled as the flowing of blood tickled his body. He slowly looked down at the woman underneath him.
As the sight of Ji Yi's deathly pale face gradually came into view, he then realized that everything wasn't a dream after all.
