Gou Songze: “That’s good. You scared me. I thought you were roasted inside.”
He was genuinely concerned about Luo Yingbai but was already starving. As soon as he spoke, he made himself hungry.
Luo Yingbai extended his arm: “Want to eat? It’s just that there’s no water now.”
Gou Songze couldn’t help but laugh, slapping Luo Yingbai’s hand, accidentally touching the wound from the chain burn last time.
The reporters’ questions were all boring.
Xia Xianning casually responded, and while talking, he became distracted, his gaze unconsciously falling towards Luo Yingbai’s side, watching him play with Gou Songze, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
However, immediately after, he saw that when Gou Songze slapped him, Luo Yingbai slightly furrowed his brow. Although he quickly relaxed his expression, Xia Xianning almost immediately realized that he might have an injury on his hand. If it was a minor injury, Luo Yingbai would have called out, but if it was serious, he would remain silent.
Luo Yingbai said a few words to Gou Songze, then said, “Looks like there’s nothing for me to do now. You guys continue, I’ll leave first.”
Passing by Xia Xianning’s direction and seeing him surrounded by reporters, he didn’t plan to speak to Xia Xianning, just smiled at him and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xianning suddenly leaned forward, reaching through the reporters to grab his wrist. Luo Yingbai was stunned and looked up. Before they could speak, they noticed camera shutters flashing around them.
But with Xia Xianning, Old Master Xia had deliberately cultivated him. While reporters didn’t dare to go too far, they would never miss a chance to interview him.
Seeing that Xia Xianning didn’t seem to have anything urgent to say, Luo Yingbai broke free from his hand, slightly shaking his head to indicate they could talk later.
Xia Xianning also realized his impulse was somewhat inappropriate. Before letting go, his fingers quickly brushed Luo Yingbai’s palm, roughly feeling a small scar, and his heart ached.
Luo Yingbai felt his actions and understood why Xia Xianning suddenly grabbed him, thinking, “Great, now I don’t need to find medicine myself.”
