It wasn't until dusk that Qin Mobai slowly regained consciousness. Upon awakening, he saw Lou Xi resting on the side of his bed, asleep from exhaustion.
Qin Mobai reached out, touching Lou Xi's cheek, which was soft and fleshy, with a pleasant texture.
He realized at some point that with this woman's presence, he couldn't allow any danger to come close to them, because he couldn't bear any risk. He was unwilling to see anything happen that might harm Lou Xi.
As if sensing Qin Mobai was awake, Lou Xi suddenly woke up and met his open eyes.
The sharpness in his eyes from the past had faded, replaced by a gentle look.
"Young Master Qin, you're finally awake!" Lou Xi exclaimed, her tears falling uncontrollably.
She wanted to embrace Qin Mobai, but worried about his injuries. What if touching him affected his wounds?
Qin Mobai's lips curled into a slight smile, opening his arms to Lou Xi.
His injuries were on his legs; his upper body was unscathed.
