Qiao Yuxian's bedroom.
Gu Yanjing finished applying medicine to her right wrist and reached for her left hand.
Qiao Yuxian had been silent for five minutes since a while ago.
With her head down, she was slowly drying her hair.
Gu Yanjing glanced at her left hand, which was in a similar condition to the right.
But the red marks covered a larger area.
It seemed that the ropes binding her hands had wrapped around the Peace Pendant, leaving a shape of the pendant on her wrist.
Gu Yanjing moved her Peace Pendant up to apply more medicine. But as soon as he moved it up, it slipped down again.
He moved it up again, and it slipped down once more.
Gu Yanjing decided to take it off first.
Just as he touched the knot on the red string, Qiao Yuxian suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Gu Yanjing stopped, looking up at her. Seeing her frown slightly, he asked, "Can't take it off?"
Qiao Yuxian felt her reaction was a bit excessive and released his hand, saying, "Yes. Don't take it off."
