The warmth in his embrace, she hadn't felt that for a very, very long time.
Her eyes suddenly felt a bit wet.
Yan Cheng's hand slid to the edge of Lan Xu's skirt. His large hand gently lifted it, just as he was about to take the next step, his body suddenly stiffened.
"Cough…" Immediately after, he couldn't help but let out a small cough.
Lan Xu's body trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him nervously.
"What's wrong?" she asked him anxiously.
On that devilish face of his, his complexion didn't look particularly good at the moment. She could tell—he was in pain...
And right then, a few droplets of liquid slid down his back, trickling along his body.
The droplets landed on Lan Xu's hand.
Startled, Lan Xu quickly lifted her hand, only to discover those droplets were his blood.
All at once, panic overtook her.
She had almost forgotten—he was still gravely injured. He shouldn't be doing this!
