Was I being selfish?
In a haze, Ji Yao felt a light pressure on his lips before a warm liquid was forced down his throat. His first thought was that someone was assaulting him hence he weakly raised his hand to push the person away but because he was too vulnerable it was pointless.
Having failed to free himself he whimpers weakly while clawing at the neck of the culprit. He thought he was dealing damage to his opponent but to Rui Fei, it was like a cat pressing its paw pads on his neck.
To calm Ji Yao he began to stroke his hair in a soothing motion. The familiarity of his action made Ji Yao relax a little. After the elixir was forced down his throat he heard Rui Fei's voice comforting him. "It's me, I am here for you..... relax my love," he spoke in a voice as entrancing as that of sirens.
Ji Yao's hand slowly fell back to his side feeling a sense of relief. This meant he didn't struggle as the second bottle of elixir was pushed down his throat.
