Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Ying knew that she could not help. She could only make sure she didn’t drag him down, so she protected herself and did not let him be distracted.

Zhou Yao’s skills were not bad. Coupled with his desperate fighting style, after a few rounds, the gangsters left cursing.

Only then did Xiao Ying quickly walk out and say, “Zhou Yao, are you okay?”

Looking at the red mark on his lips, she pulled him to a nearby pharmacy and bought some medicine for his wound. They went to a park nearby and Xiao Ying told him to sit on a bench and helped him apply the medicine.

Zhou Yao stared intently at Xiao Ying, his eyes filled with gentleness.

Xiao Ying was focused on her actions. After applying the medicine, she noticed his gaze and paused. Before she could feel embarrassed, Zhou Yao had already retracted his gaze. He did not want to make things difficult for Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Why are you here?”

Zhou Yao said, “I just happened to come nearby to buy some things.”

Xiao Ying nodded, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Zhou Yao asked, “What about you? Why are you here? Where’s Cheng Yang?”

Xiao Ying didn’t know how to answer these questions, so she could only remain silent.

But Zhou Yao guessed the truth immediately and said, “What happened between you and Cheng Yang?”

Xiao Ying hurriedly said, “We’re fine.”

However, Zhou Yao knew her better than she thought. He said with a firm expression, “Impossible. Something must have happened to you.”

Just as Xiao Ying was about to explain, a voice sounded in her mind: “Energy source detected nearby. Begin absorbing energy.”

Xiao Ying subconsciously turned her head to look around but did not see Cheng Yang. Only then did she remember that Zhou Yao was also a destined energy source. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

The amulet’s voice sounded immediately after. After hearing its words, Xiao Ying was stunned. It was as if she had fallen into an abyss, leaving her at a loss. A sense of powerlessness spread throughout her body.

Zhou Yao’s panicked voice jolted her back to her senses. “Xiao Ying, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Ying came back to her senses and looked at him with lifeless eyes. “It’s okay. I… I’ll go back first.”

She stood up with unsteady feet and staggered. Zhou Yao had to help her up to prevent her from falling.

“Ying’er.”

Cheng Yang appeared opposite her and shouted her name.

Zhou Yao paused. After confirming that she was standing properly, he let go and took a step back.

Xiao Ying stood rooted to the spot. There was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes, and one could only sense that she was very sad.

Cheng Yang frowned and said, “Ying’er, come here.”

Xiao Ying didn’t walk over and just looked at his face quietly.

Cheng Yang said, “I already know what happened at the office. I can explain. I wasn’t in the office at all just now. That was Wen Jing’s self-directing and acting.”

Xiao Ying’s expression changed slightly, but she still did not move.

After a while, she slowly walked over to Cheng Yang and said, “I didn’t misunderstand. Let’s go back.”

When the two of them were far away, Zhou Yao mocked himself and turned his numb body to leave.

Xiao Ying sat in Cheng Yang’s car, unusually quiet.

Cheng Yang had already turned to look at her a few times and explained again, “Ying’er, what I said was true.”

Xiao Ying was clearly distracted. When she heard this, she revealed a smile and said, “I know.” 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜m

Cheng Yang said again, “You don’t look good. Are you unwell?”

Xiao Ying still shook her head blankly as Cheng Yang changed the route and came to the hospital.

Xiao Ying could not refuse. After repeatedly saying that she was fine, it was still fruitless, and she could only let him take her for a checkup.

After all the trouble in the afternoon, it was already nighttime when they returned home. Cheng Yang attentively picked up some food for Xiao Ying, but her expression remained indifferent. After taking two bites, she said, “I’m full. I’ll go back to my room.”

Cheng Yang frowned. “Ying’er, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Ying turned around with reddened eyes, not letting him see.. She took a deep breath and said, “Brother, I’m just a little tired.”
