When they left the sickroom earlier, Lu Ming was afraid that she might get cold at sunset, so he brought a bath blanket with him.
Jing Yiren then adjusted the bath blanket on Lu Ming's shoulder. With her small hand, she reached up and plucked a leaf from his hair, twirling it before his eyes.
Lu Ming chuckled softly.
Jing Yiren smiled, dropping the leaf. She looked down at Lu Ming's bare feet, her expression becoming serious.
"Where are your shoes?"
"… " He had kicked them off in the water earlier because they were inconvenient while he was rescuing someone.
Just as Lu Ming was about to answer with a smile, Xue Fanghua, who had been lying on the ground, let out a 'gag' sound.
She spit out water and came to consciousness.
She then began wailing loudly.
Crying out, "Brother Lu Ming! Brother Lu Ming!"
She looked around, getting up from the ground upon seeing Lu Ming standing a bit away.
