Daya lowered her head, took the ointment, and thanked him, her voice as soft as a mosquito.
Lu Yunxi felt somewhat helpless. She guessed that she didn't want to talk about her parents, so she teased her with a smile: "Look at you, did you sneak out to look for honey again and get stung like this?!"
Daya clenched the ointment in her hand and replied softly after a while: "Hmm."
The two of them sat there stupidly for a while, and the sky grew darker.
After seeing off Daya, who looked very sad, Lu Yunxi sighed deeply.
After all, the uncle and aunt of the Li family are Daya's parents. In this era that emphasizes filial piety, if they beat and scold Daya, no one can say they are wrong!
Apart from giving Daya some medicine after she was beaten, she couldn't help much else.
After that, Lu Yunxi went out to practice his skills every day, and he would shoot down any prey he encountered.

Daya suddenly found her crying.
"Xiaoxi, I..." She lay on the table, crying uncontrollably.
Lu Yunxi frowned.

In just one month, the baby fat on Daya's face disappeared and she became as thin as a bamboo pole. Not only that, she no longer smiled and was always timid when she saw people.
Lu Yunxi patted her back gently, coaxing her like a baby.
Daya's mood gradually improved, and she sobbed and said, "My parents are going to marry me off!"
"What?!"
Lu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned cold.
Daya is only 11 years old!
The angrier she got, the calmer her expression became: "Daya, have your parents said who they're going to marry you to?"
Daya shook her head: "I only know the man's name, I don't know anything else..."
As she spoke, she covered her face and started crying again: "My parents wouldn't let me go to the dance studio. When my master went to persuade them, they scolded me and said, 'Those dancers aren't from good families!'"
