Ye Xi's fever had subsided, and she sat up in bed.
Lu Lingxiao came up to her, tenderly reaching out to touch the scratch on her face.
Only then did Ye Xi notice the large and small scars on Lu Lingxiao's exposed arms, realizing he too had been searching for her in the mountains all night long.
Ye Xi looked at him with eyes full of deep affection, at that moment, she finally stopped hiding her fondness for Lu Lingxiao, feeling immensely secure in her heart.
Seeing no one else around, Granny Ye finally voiced the question that had been weighing on her heart.
"Xixi, there are no outsiders here, tell Granny the truth, did Zhao Peng touch you?"
Granny Ye asked this in front of Lu Lingxiao because she wanted to see his reaction.
If Zhao Peng had truly defiled Ye Xi, Lu Lingxiao would surely despise her.
Ye Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly as she shook her head, "He didn't succeed; I stabbed him in the eye..."
