Lai Shuo's mind went numb again. He looked blankly at Xiao Linye.
Xiao Linye, however, coldly closed the door.
Staring at the cold door panel, Lai Shuo subconsciously touched his nose, which had nearly been hit. As long as you think it's fine! he mumbled, somewhat shaken, and quickly turned to leave.
Inside, Xiao Linye was completely unaware of the intense internal struggle Lai Shuo had just experienced.
Ye Yuning was still asleep.
She was seriously injured and utterly exhausted. She hadn't stirred at all while Xiao Linye bathed her.
She only began to stir when he was applying medicine, her dazed and bewildered eyes meeting Xiao Linye's.
The moment she clearly registered the sensation from beneath her, Ye Yuning snapped fully awake.
She grabbed Xiao Linye's arm, her grip so tight it felt like she intended to crush his wrist. Staring into his eyes, her own pupils constricted in an instant.
