At that moment, Wang Xiangxiang was in a deep sleep, as if she had a beautiful dream. She dreamt that the man she liked came to see her, and even told her he liked her. Her lips curved into a slight smile, and she turned over.
Just that turn startled Chu Lian; his heart skipped a beat. He was terribly afraid that she would wake up and become agitated upon seeing him again.
Fortunately, she only turned over, and after that, there was no movement. The turn of her face allowed him to see her more clearly. Her face still showed some swelling, probably from the beating by those who bullied her.
Pity filled his eyes. He didn't know what to do with her. Initially, he wanted her to change her impression of him, but now, he was afraid that she might be stimulated again by his mere presence.
After watching her quietly for a while, he rose silently and left the room. Seeing Yang Chun plucking chicken feathers in the courtyard, he walked over without a second thought.
