Lu Jinnian came out the shower and changed into a clean set of clothes. He turned around to see Qiao Anhao in bed.
She lay curled up. Her white, bouncy skin had patches of blue and purple, and the bite marks had hardened into scabs. He had given her those a few days ago. Perhaps because of the pain, her body still trembled.
Seeing Qiao Anhao like this, Lu Jinnian felt the urge to go over and hug her in his arms. But in the end, he only balled up his fists and forcefully pushed the thought to the back of his mind.
As he made his way to the bedroom door, he stopped and stood there for a while before turning to the bedside.
Qiao Anhao felt Lu Jinnian nearing closer and held her breath.
Lu Jinnian reached his hand to touch Qiao Anhao's face. Her face seemed to be in pain, revealing a mild paleness in color.
