  "Yes, it’s me." Lu Jinnian’s had heard the clear but faint voice. After a moment, he asked, "Qiao Qiao, how are you feeling now?"

  After he had asked, she seemed to feel a sharp pain on her left leg. Biting her lip, she replied softly, "I’m fine."

  She lifted her head to look at the dried branch above her. "Where is this?"

  "I don’t know," Lu Jinnian replied honestly.

  "Oh……"

  They both remained silent. Lu Jinnian focused on the road ahead, walking carefully with Qiao Anhao on his back.

  Qiao Anhao wasn’t able to get over what had happened. She leaned on Lu Jinnian’s back, staring into space with a blank expression, deep in thought. After a long while, she realized that Lu Jinnian’s presence meant that he had jumped down the cliff after her.

  In that instance, her heart squeezed, her expression turning into one of incomprehension.

  The three meter cliff wasn’t high, but in the face of such a strong current, wasn’t he worried that he would die? And why did he jump ? If he didn’t jump, would she already be dead?

  Qiao Anhao’s mind was filled with endless questions. She couldn’t hear Lu Jinnian even when he told her about the cave ahead of him.

  Lu Jinnian carried her into the cave. Someone must have been here before for there was a straw mat and black charcoal inside.

  Lu Jinnian was worried that she would catch a cold, so he signaled for her to sit closer. When she stood up, her entire body slouched forward from the pain in her left leg. Lu Jinnian came forward hurriedly to catch her. "You’re injured?"

  "It’s fine." Qiao Anhao shook her head before limping towards the fire. But after two steps, Lu Jinnian lifted her up and placed her in front of the fire before kneeling down by her feet.

  He moved the red costume aside to see that the white pants beneath were already soaked in blood. He frowned and carefully lifted them There was a long cut on her left leg that was still oozing out blood.

  Luckily it wasn’t very deep. He heaved a sigh of relief before taking off his almost dried clothes. He dried them further in front of the fire before shredding without hesitation to wrap Qiao Anhao’s leg.

  Even though he had been careful, Qiao Anhao could still feel a stinging pain. She sucked in a breath, frightening Lu Jinnian. He trembled slightly and tried his best to lessen any force he had on the leg.

  Qiao Anhao bit her lip, enduring through the pain. With the glow from the fire, she stared at Lu Jinnian’s handsome features. Lowering her lashes, she seemed to be in a struggle, for her hands had clenched into fists silently.
