Mu Xiaoxiao was still in pain, and sniffled as she sobbed.

Jun Zeye pursed his lips. He reached into his pocket, felt around, and grabbed ahold of something. Just as he was hesitating over whether he should take it out, Yin Shaojie returned.

"What"s wrong? Why are you crying?" Yin Shaojie rushed over and touched Mu Xiaoxiao"s cheeks, wiping her tears away with his fingers.

Mu Xiaoxiao shot a look at Jun Zeye as the pain subsided.

Jun Zeye knew that she was alright now, so he said mildly, "Take care, I"ll be leaving now."

With that, he left.

Yin Shaojie stared at Mu Xiaoxiao and questioned her. "What happened between the both of you while I was gone?"

"He just…" Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to her leg. "He did something to my leg and I almost died in pain, but I"m feeling much better now. Where"s the doctor? Were you unable to find him?"

Yin Shaojie said angrily, "I don"t know. They must have all died!"

"It"s okay. I"m alright now anyway." Mu Xiaoxiao didn"t want him to rage against the doctors. He seemed to be a little angry from his expression.

She reached out to hug his arm and smiled sweetly.

Upon inspecting her ankle, Yin Shaojie realized what Jun Zeye did.

"Does it still hurt?" He touched it lightly.

Mu Xiaoxiao"s eyelid twitched. "It still hurts a little, but it"s not as painful as earlier. It"s only superficial pain now."

"It"s weird that it isn"t hurting. See, it"s red and swollen. How can it not hurt? Also, why were you rus.h.i.+ng down the stairs? You"re lucky you didn"t fall down," Yin Shaojie couldn"t help but chastise her.

"What, are you blaming me? This should be your fault!" Mu Xiaoxiao was upset, pus.h.i.+ng the blame to him as she jabbed a finger at his chest. "Who asked you to stop him? What did you say to him? If I wasn"t worried that you were going to fight, why would I rush down the stairs and almost fall?"

She jabbed him a few more times.

"Tell me! Whose fault is it then?"

Yin Shaojie couldn"t argue over her. He wrapped his large hands over her finger and said forgivingly, "Okay, it was my fault, alright? What? Why were you so worried? Feeling guilty about something?"

He looked at her with suspicion as he said the last four words.

Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed a little guiltily. "Who said I"m guilty about anything! It"s because someone tried to fan the flames and said you were going to fight. I was worried that both of you would get hurt because you"re good fighters."

"You"re afraid that he"d have gotten hurt?" Yin Shaojie honed in on this, his tone sour.

Mu Xiaoxiao hurried to amend her words. "Of course it"s you I"m worried would get hurt! But… you also know that he saved me before, so he can be considered my savior, right? If you were to fight him, wouldn"t I be requiting his kindness with enmity?"

Yin Shaojie thought about it. He understood her words as: they were one, so he represented her

"I wasn"t going to fight him, just talk to him for a little," Yin Shaojie explained.

He didn"t need to tell her that he had actually considered brawling with Jun Zeye.

"What did you tell him?" Mu Xiaoxiao was curious and wanted to know.
