Kapitel 82: Conflict

Lin Xi took the empty bowl he handed her. Then, her round eyes flickered as she gestured in sign language worriedly. "Are you alright?"

Shi Xiao didn't know much about sign language, but he could understand what she meant. He forced a smile and comforted her, "I'm fine."

He adjusted his sitting position and leaned against the straw mat in a more comfortable position. His voice was gentle as he said, "Did I scare you just now?"

Lin Xi also sat down beside him, her knees crossed in front of her chest. She revealed an innocent smile and shook her head.

With the help of the dazzling sunlight outside the door, Shi Xiao saw the red marks on Lin Xi's calf. Although it was difficult for him to move now, he still raised his hand and gently touched the place where she was scalded. Then, he rubbed it carefully.
