Chapter 73

~End of chapter 72

Mu Qing’s foot was probably already sprained. But at this moment she could not feel the pain anymore, because Yi Jia had taken advantage of the momentum to pounce on her, turning her over somewhat roughly, before he then knelt on top of her, glaring at her with furious eyes.

Mu Qing reached out towards the pebblestones beside her, but he immediately noticed and fiercely pressed down her hands.

Obviously, this man who usually always smiled was now completely enraged.

.

Mu Qing was pressed down by him and could not move. But very strangely, the fright she had been feeling just now slowly disappeared. She tried her best to suppress her wildly beating heart, to coldly look at him, with a gaze carrying disdain and contempt.

But Yi Jia suddenly made a move. The words he said inflamed him, and he suddenly threw a fist hard into Li Mang’s face. Li Mang side-stepped, but the punch was too strong, as if it was filled with all of Yi Jia’s anger, and he fell down, with his face facing the ground because of the blow.

Mu Qing vaguely felt it. The fight between these two men, at the beginning, was because of her. But now, the fight between them probably had nothing to do with her anymore.

She cried out in fear, and immediately wanted to help him up, but just as she tried to stand up, she felt pain in her ankle, and let out a low groan, before sitting back on the ground.

When Li Mang heard her voice, he quickly turned over and rolled up to her. With one glance he noticed her slightly swollen right ankle. He frowned as he reached out to gently massage it, he then knew that the bone wasn’t hurt, and his expression slightly relaxed. He extended his hands and picked her up, and then strode with big steps towards the settlement. As he left, he never looked back at Yi Jia.

Mu Qing shrank in his arms, completely relaxed. She was surprised to find that she was still clutching in her hands the small piece of cloth that caused trouble. She couldn’t help but raise her eyes to secretly peek at Yi Jia, who had been left behind. She saw him still sitting there, with his eyes fixed on Li Mang’s back gradually getting further away, he looked absolutely wretched, but the expression on his face still revealed stubborn pride and lonesomeness.

When Li Mang carried Mu Qing back, it was dusk and the settlement was getting busy, from far away, one could see the smoke up in the air, coming from the open space.

Mu Qing squirmed in his arms, signaling to him to put her down. She didn’t want to be carried in front of everyone’s eyes like this.
