201: Chapter 201 Is this the prelude to infection?

Liu Ruyan was indeed a woman who frequented the pleasure quarters and had encountered countless men, but she was a woman of deep affection and righteousness.

Ye Yun's current plight, and even many of the events leading up to it, had been fueled by her own actions behind the scenes.

Liu Ruyan felt deep sympathy for all of this.

Of course, it was only a small amount of sympathy.

Some big shots were not people that someone like her, who was already on the verge of death, could afford to offend.

Liu Ruyan was an extremely smart girl. She knew that if she offended those people, her own life or death didn't matter, but her parents would likely face a catastrophe.

She was not stupid enough to implicate her parents for the sake of Ye Yun, a man with whom she had only shared a single night of passion.

Furthermore, Ye Yun was ignorant of the stakes and had provoked such terrifying big shots; even if she, Liu Ruyan, hadn't stepped in today, someone else would have, setting a trap to ensnare him.

Having figured all this out, Liu Ruyan cast aside all the complex emotions in her heart, focusing single-mindedly on dealing with Ye Yun.

She cast a seductive glance at Ye Yun, then whispered a scolding:

"At least you still have a conscience and know to call me Sister Ruyan. It wasn't in vain that I went to such lengths to save you."

"Although I, Liu Ruyan, am a country woman and have been widowed for many years, that does not mean I am someone without propriety or shame, nor am I someone you can just drag into bed whenever you please."

"You must give me an explanation for what you did to me today, otherwise, I, Liu Ruyan, will not let you go, even if I become a ghost."

Hearing Liu Ruyan's threatening words, Ye Yun had already turned pale with fear.

He had absolutely no intention right now of discussing whether he should take responsibility with Liu Ruyan.

If Liu Ruyan really had aids, perhaps even in the late stages, and given what happened last night, he feared that he, Ye Yun, would also be infected.

Once infected with such a terrifying virus, he feared his remaining life would be worse than death.

"Sister Ruyan, rest assured, I, Ye Yun, am not the type to be ungrateful, nor would I wipe my mouth clean and refuse to take responsibility."

"Since it has already happened, I will definitely take responsibility for you to the end."

Forcing himself to suppress the disgust in his heart, Ye Yun cast his gaze upon Liu Ruyan's neck, pointing at a patch of oozing heat rash, and trembling, asked: "I want to know, Sister Ruyan, what is going on with you? What is that thing on your body?"

"You... so you were despising me."

Looking at the terrified Ye Yun before her, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, Liu Ruyan burst into tears.

Her crystal-clear tears flowed like a torrential flood, unstoppable.

"Yesterday, when you fell into the cesspit, covered in maggots from head to toe, with those disgusting things even in your mouth, did I ever despise you even a little bit?"

"And now, after I saved you, you actually despise me."

Although Liu Ruyan had contracted the deadly aids, she was a woman who cared about her reputation; contracting such a harmful disease was the agony of her life.

Ye Yun scanned her with undisguised disgust and contempt; that look of disdain completely stung Liu Ruyan.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan, not caring whether her clothes were tidy or if she was exposed, jumped up with a thud, rushed forward, pointed at Ye Yun's face, and began to berate him:

"Damn you, Ye Yun, you heartless thing! If not for me, this 'disgusting' person, stepping in to save you, you would have died that night and become a meal for jackals and tigers."

"To treat your injuries, I spent all the savings I had worked so hard to accumulate over these years."

"I forced myself to endure the disgust, washing away those revolting things from your body, over and over again."

"And what did you do? As soon as you recovered a little, you committed those beastly acts and forcibly insulted me."

"You wolf-hearted, ungrateful beast! After getting what you wanted from me, you actually started despising me!"

Liu Ruyan had completely erupted; it wasn't a masterful performance, but a genuine outpouring of emotion.

Any woman, upon being stared at by a man who had just taken her, with such a nauseating, disgusted gaze, and even wanting to kick her away, would likely not feel good if she encountered such a thing.

Moreover, Liu Ruyan already had aids and was an object of public scorn.

Knowing her life was coming to an end, Liu Ruyan did not want to just submit meekly; she simply released all the anger in her heart.

Even Ye Yun hadn't expected that Liu Ruyan, who had previously appeared so quiet and gentle, would display such a fierce side at this moment, flying into a rage at him.

Facing this overbearing woman who had berated him from head to toe, Ye Yun was left speechless. Although it was unexpected, Liu Ruyan's complete outburst also eliminated the last shred of suspicion in Ye Yun's heart.

Seeing that patch of oozing heat rash on Liu Ruyan, Ye Yun had suspected that he had been set up again this time.

Because of Liu Ruyan's outburst, this suspicion subsequently vanished into thin air.

It wasn't for any other reason, but because Liu Ruyan's current expression didn't look like she was acting at all; it was a genuine outpouring of emotion, filled with extreme grief and indignation.

If such genuine emotion was all just her acting with him, Ye Yun would probably start to doubt reality itself.

Doubting whether what he had seen and heard was true or false.

"Sister Ruyan, my tone and attitude just now were indeed a bit off, causing you to misunderstand. I didn't mean to despise you at all."

Ye Yun bit the bullet, forced himself to steady his body, slowly got up, and immediately pulled the emotionally uncontrolled Liu Ruyan into his arms.

He forcibly calmed the terror in his heart and explained in a soft voice: "Sister Ruyan, your two life-saving favors are something I, Ye Yun, can never repay in this lifetime, and I would never dare to forget your kindness."

"The reason I was agitated just now was not because I despised you, but because I felt that the things growing on your body were very similar to a disease I know of."

"To be honest, it is said that aids patients also develop such heat rashes."

"I was worried about your health, Sister Ruyan, which is why I was nervous and misspoke."

The two of them had already engaged in such an intimate relationship; if Liu Ruyan were truly infected, he, Ye Yun, would likely not escape unscathed.

Although Ye Yun was scratching his head in anxiety at this moment and wished he could kick Liu Ruyan away, he had no choice but to comfort this woman in order to uncover the truth.
