Only then did Gu Lichen seem to notice Hua Lifang. Sadness immediately flashed in his eyes.
'What's wrong with me? Lifang is right here. What else do I suspect?
'Or should I say... What am I hoping for?'
Gu Lichen's fingers finally let go little by little, and Ling Yiran quickly pulled back her hand.
With a gloomy face, Yi Jinli carried Ling Yiran in his arms.
"Jin, I can walk by myself," Ling Yiran said quickly.
"You just had a headache. It'll be better if I carry you to the car," Yi Jinli said as he strode off toward the fair's exit.
Gu Lichen watched on until they disappeared from his sight. Then, he lowered his eyes and saw the red marks on his wrists.
It was the spot where Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli had gripped him so tightly earlier, but he only felt the pain in his wrist now.
"Lichen, are you alright? Does it hurt?" Hua Lifang looked at Gu Lichen's wrist with pain, then said with indignation, "That Yi Jinli is way out of line. If he did break your hand, I'd even sacrifice my life to get justice for you."
She spoke as if she was so brave and was willing to do anything for Gu Lichen.
However, in Gu Lichen's ears, her words sounded funny.
When he was facing Yi Jinli, Lifang dared not ask Yi Jinli a question!
'Is this woman really the girl who sacrificed her life to save me when we were little?'
Gu Lichen turned to look at Hua Lifang and said, "Lifang, when you and I were in the hills when we were kids, I almost fell off a cliff once and you held my hand tightly. Do you remember what you said back then?"
The car drove toward Yi Residence.
Inside the car, Yi Jinli rubbed the red marks on Ling Yiran's wrist gently and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It's much better now," said Ling Yiran.
Gu Lichen did not hold her hands very hard. On the contrary, she held Gu Lichen's hands with a stronger grip.
"What about your head? Does it still hurt?" he asked again.
She shook her head. "The pain’s gone."
"Why were you with Gu Lichen?" he asked in a casual tone, but when the question escaped his mouth, he could clearly feel her body stiffening.
