The scar looks quite old, more like a whipping mark.
Ning Yin was surprised. What had he gone through to leave so many whip marks?
I remember Xiao Xuan saying before that he also had a hard life when he was a child.
Ning Yin's hand remained suspended in mid-air for a long time without touching it, and Xiao Xuan knew what she wanted to ask.
He simply said casually, "The scars on my back were from when I was a child, my mother beat me, it's nothing serious."
