She sobbed quietly, full of grievance.
Mu Xichen held her in his arms, his heart aching.
He kissed her lightly on her cheek and said gently, "Let's get you out of the bath first, the water's gone cold."
After saying this, he realized that her skin had turned pale and bloated from having soaked for too long.
Li Beinian cried even harder now, as she leaned against him limply, trying to draw air in between sobs.
Mu Xichen's heart almost broke. He scooped her up, lifting her fully out of the water, then pulled a towel off the rack and wrapped her in it. He carried her out of the bathroom.
Bo Chengcheng stood at the door as Mu Xichen carried the naked Li Beinian out of the bathroom. Although she was only crying softly, it sounded so pitiful that she couldn't bear to look.
She had never seen Li Beinian cry.
And certainly not this pitifully!
