"Mmh, it's me." Lu Jinnian's voice was light. He paused for a moment, then asked, "Qiao Qiao, are you okay?"
Qiao Anhao felt the pain in her left leg. She bit her lip and said softly, "I'm fine."
Qiao Anhao lifted her head and looked up at the tangled branches. "Where are we?"
"I don't know," Lu Jinnian said honestly.
"Oh," Qiao Anhao replied, not saying another word.
Lu Jinnian didn't say a word either. He focused on the path in front of him, carrying Qiao Anhao as he carefully walked forward.
Qiao Anhao's mind was still in a daze. She hadn't completely figured out the ins and outs of the situation. She laid on Lu Jinnian's shoulder with her eyes wide open. After thinking for a long while, she finally realized that if Lu Jinnian was here, didn't that mean that when she fell from the cliff, he had jumped right after her?
Qiao Anhao was shocked by her sudden realization. Her heart clenched, and her expression became blank.
The three-meter cliff wasn't high, but below it was a deadly torrent. Wasn't he afraid that after he jumped, he wouldn't be able to climb back up? Also, why did he jump? If he hadn't jumped down, would she be dead now?
Qiao Anhao's mind was bombarded with questions. She was a little sluggish. Even when Lu Jinnian found a cave in front of them and spoke to her, she didn't react.
Lu Jinnian carried Qiao Anhao into the cave. Someone had probably been here, there was straw on the ground, and there were black ashes on the side.
Lu Jinnian placed Qiao Anhao on the straw and walked out of the cave. He casually picked up some fallen branches and placed them on top of the ashes. He took out a lighter and lit it up. Then, he took off his clothes, picked up a tree branch, and placed it by the fire to warm it.
Lu Jinnian was afraid that Qiao Anhao would catch a cold, so he gestured for her to sit closer. When Qiao Anhao stood up, she staggered because of the pain in her left leg. Lu Jinnian quickly supported her. "Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." Qiao Anhao shook her head, limping towards the fire. But after two steps, Lu Jinnian suddenly lifted her up and placed her in front of the fire. He squatted down in front of her and lifted her red robe. Seeing that her white pants were stained red, Lu Jinnian furrowed his brows. He carefully lifted her pants and saw that there was a long cut on her left leg that was still bleeding.
Thankfully, the wound wasn't too deep. He heaved a sigh of relief and removed his shirt, which was almost dry from the heat. He brought it to the fire, and after a while, he tore it into strips and wrapped them around Qiao Anhao's legs.
Even though Lu Jinnian was gentle, Qiao Anhao still sucked in a breath of air in pain. His fingers trembled in fear, and his movements became even more cautious.
Qiao Anhao bit her bottom lip, enduring the pain. With the light of the fire, she stared at Lu Jinnian's extraordinarily handsome face for a while, then lowered her eyelids, as though she was struggling with something in her heart. Her hands silently clenched into fists.
