Xia Yanran’s heart thumped.
Could the injured man be Xiao Yi?
Xia Yanran hurriedly got off the bed. However, she sucked in a breath from pain the moment her feet touched the ground.
“Don’t move around yet! You sprained your ankle when you fell down the mountain. Although I already patched you up, you won’t heal that quickly and still have to rest for a few days.”
Xia Yanran already could not wait to see that injured man.
“I’m alright. Can you bring me to meet that injured person?”
The boy shook his head. “My older sister said that that person’s temper is not good and he will injure people.”
Xia Yanran bit on her lips. She remained silent for a while before she said, “Can we just take a look at him without approaching him?” She took out the necklace she was wearing and pa.s.sed it to the boy. “If you bring me there, I’ll give this to you.”
The boy was not willing to accept it, as Xia Yanran continued to force it onto him. “You saved me, this is something you deserve.”
Under Xia Yanran’s insistence, the boy eventually agreed to bring Xia Yanran to see that injured man.
It was only when they left the house that Xia Yanran noticed that this was an older and simpler village.
The boy helped Xia Yanran as they navigated around the village before they arrived by the side of the mountain which was at the end of the village.
“He wasn’t willing to stay at our house, so he’s living in a cave.”
With the boy’s help, Xia Yanran arrived at a cave that was only big enough for one person to stay in.
The cave was a little deep and dark. Xia Yanran could not see anything from outside.
“I’ll go in to take a look.”
The boy immediately pulled Xia Yanran back. “He can eat a person when his temper acts up.”
Xia Yanran waved her hand around. “I’m not afraid.”
Xia Yanran got a boy to find a thick branch for her, which she used as a walking stick to support her. She then limped into the cave.
An oil lamp was lit in the cave, and there was a wooden bed in it.
A man’s tattered black s.h.i.+rt was thrown on the bed.
Xia Yanran walked towards the bed, her hand reaching out to take that s.h.i.+rt.
When Xia Yanran saw the exquisite but simple cuff-links on the s.h.i.+rt, Xia Yanran buried her face into the s.h.i.+rt, crying and smiling at the same time.
The boy outside heard someone approaching and he jumped in surprise before he hurriedly shouted into the cave at Xia Yanran. “Someone is coming, come out quick!”
“I’m alright, you can go back first!”
Xia Yanran sat on the bed for a while, before she heard footsteps.
A man holding onto a bottle of white spirit walked in.
He was wearing an extremely unfitting white s.h.i.+rt, and she could vaguely see the bandage wrapped around his chest under the s.h.i.+rt.
He walked into the cave as he drank the alcohol.
His eyes were empty and dazed.
He seemed to freeze for a second when he saw the woman sitting on the bed, before he smirked with his face full of stubble. “Xia Yanran, you even came to my dreams?”
He leaned against the cave wall, staring at her in exhaustion. “You always appear when I’m at my worst.”
Xia Yanran stared at the man who had lost quite a bit of weight and had red eyes. She sniffled.
