Looking at the scene in the backseat, Yun Miao and Tang Yichen both chose to keep quiet and focused all their attention forward.
At this mont, they only felt that they shouldn’t be in the car, but rather under it.
Unaware of Tang Yichen and Yun Miao’s internal thoughts, after Su Yunling wiped the bloodstains from Gu Zhiqi’s lips, he also didn’t hear Gu Zhiqi speak.
Shifting his gaze, he moved from the lips to the eyes, and then collided with a pair of deep, misty eyes. Those eyes seed to be shrouded with smoke clouds over the Cold River, cool and hazy.
Su Yunling was briefly entranced.
There’s no denying, the child’s eyes were extrely beautiful, so beautiful that just one look felt as if one had fallen into them.
The two in the backseat just looked at each other, montarily forgetting any movent.
Until a ssage notification sounded, Gu Zhiqi snapped back to reality, imdiately withdrew her gaze, and glanced down at her phone.
Without opening the ssage, she silenced the phone and turned to look out the window.
Suddenly feeling a bit irritable, but unable to pinpoint the cause, she could only look at the scenery to calm herself.
No longer seeing Gu Zhiqi’s eyes, a hint of regret flashed at the bottom of Su Yunling’s eyes, his gaze fell on Gu Zhiqi’s hand clutching the phone, his eyes slightly narrowed, his body leaned slightly toward Gu Zhiqi as he reached out to grab her wrist.
Gu Zhiqi’s body paused, turning back to look at Su Yunling.
"There’s blood on your hand."
Su Yunling said, grabbing Gu Zhiqi’s wrist, and carefully wiping the blood off the back of her hand with a cloth.
It was the blood that Gu Zhiqi had wiped on the back of her hand earlier.
Gu Zhiqi slightly lowered her eyes, staring at the hand holding the cloth for a few seconds, then moved her gaze to the hand placed on her wrist.
It seed a little warm.
Staring at Su Yunling’s hand, Gu Zhiqi was once again lost in thought.
After Su Yunling cleaned all the blood from the back of Gu Zhiqi’s hand, he raised his eyes to look at Gu Zhiqi, "Gu Zhiqi."
Her na was called out in a llow and seductive voice, and Gu Zhiqi didn’t respond imdiately.
This seed to be the first ti he called her by her full na.
"Could you take a little better care of yourself?" Su Yunling looked at Gu Zhiqi and spoke earnestly.
Gu Zhiqi: ?
How had she not been taking care of herself?
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Su Yunling sighed lightly and spoke sowhat helplessly, "First you exhausted your vital energy and fell unconscious, and now you’ve suffered a backlash causing yourself to vomit blood. It’s been such a short ti and you’ve hurt yourself twice, how many tis have you been injured when I wasn’t around?"
If soone else hurt her, he could avenge her, and even protect her from being hurt.
But these injuries were precisely self-inflicted, leaving him with no way to avenge or protect her.
Gu Zhiqi: "..."
She fell silent for two seconds, then said to Su Yunling, "It just happened to coincide, otherwise I’ve never been hurt."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunling tugged at his lips, smiling slightly, but the smile was mildly cold, not reaching his eyes, "You just said being hard by a backlash is sothing Mysterious Sect disciples frequently experience."
"..."
"Oh." Gu Zhiqi paused for a few seconds, unsure how to counter, simply softly replied, then lowered her eyes and stopped speaking.
Listening to her perfunctory words and then seeing her unresponsive appearance, Su Yunling twitched the corner of his mouth.
Then helplessly shook his head, saying nothing more.
At the sa ti, he felt sowhat uncomfortable in his heart.
To this child, he might only count as an acquaintance.
Was he being too talkative by speaking to her this way?
He wondered if the child would be repulsed?
As Su Yunling thought this, he directed his gaze out the window. The buildings outside flashed by one after the other past his eyes, but his gaze never focused.
