"Thanks~" Lin Qixia patted his shoulder.
"Hiss—" The boy gasped in shock at her words and staggered.
Seeing that he was about to fall, Lin Qixia quickly went to help him up.
The boy then fell onto her.
Lin Qixia: "?"
Is this guy trying to cling to her on purpose?
However, considering that he helped her despite his serious injuries, Lin Qixia could no longer leave him alone.

Just as she stepped out of the sheepfold and took a few steps, she heard the sound of a door opening in the yard, and she stopped abruptly.
