Chương 1699: Injured

For some reason, Qiao Mei suddenly felt a little flustered. She had never felt this way before. She quickly called Xu Lan, Xia He, Qiao Qiang, Li Gui and Qian'e to confirm that they were all fine before she felt more at ease.

She thought that perhaps she was just overthinking…

Qiao Mei tried to console herself. After finishing her meal alone, she put the food into the fridge and hugged the two children to sleep.

When it was almost dawn, Qiao Mei suddenly caught a whiff of a strong scent of blood. She looked up and saw Xia Zhe quietly opening the door and entering the house.

"Did I open the door too loudly? I didn't expect to wake you up," Xia Zhe said as he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Are you injured?" Qiao Mei asked with a frown.

"I'm not. I'm covered in the blood of my comrades," Xia Zhe said vaguely.
