Are You My Mother?

Gu Zhou, who had been looking at the scenery outside the window, walked over. He took Qiao Nian's hand, which had turned red from hitting Su Xue, and caressed it gently a few times before handing a dagger to Qiao Nian.

His hand was slightly hot, and the warmth traveled from Qiao Nian's hand to every part of her body. Qiao Nian felt a warmth in her chest. She turned to look at Gu Zhou then slowly downwards, her gaze finally landing on the dagger in her hand.

The dagger was very exquisite. There was a circling golden dragon engraved on the handle, and a phoenix that had been reborn in flames was engraved on the blade.

"It'll hurt if you use your bare hands."

Gu Zhou's deep voice came from above Qiao Nian's head. His tone was disdainful, as if he didn't take Qiao Nian's slap on Su Xue seriously at all. At the same time, he seemed to be standing on Qiao Nian's side, fully approving of her hitting Su Xue.
