The person gripped in his hand looked at him with wide, frightened eyes. Lu Yebai slowly loosened his grip on her.
Why...
Are you afraid of me?
As the last bit of his energy faded away, he held onto her, gripping her tightly as if she was his last straw, desperately wanting to keep hold of her.
Everything was beyond redemption now.
To have her stay would be good enough.
Lu Yebai thought lightly.
I'm just such a selfish person...
This will do.

Lun You, in a show of camaraderie, brought Lu Yebai dinner. His face, plastered in bandages and littered with bruises, looked even worse than it did before.
There were even a few scratch marks.
Lu Yebai asked in astonishment, "What happened to your face?"
"It's all that girl Mingxing..." Lun You couldn't help complaining, "She forced me to untie her, then picked a fight when she couldn't win. Not only did she default on our fight, she lunged at me and scratched up my face..."
