A Painful Hand

Shen Xi did not know Guan Lei had hurt his hand. She quickly did as he asked and checked on it.

Zhao Yuan laughed in her heart. It seemed the rascal did have a brain, easily understanding her intentions.

Guan Lei even called Shen Xi "Xixi", as if it were the most natural thing in the world to call her. She sighed. Soon, her best friend would spread her wings and leave the nest.

Shen Xi held Guan Lei's arm, anxiety coursing through her veins. So engrossed was she in her examination that she did not notice when Zhao Yuan left.

"I don't see any wounds... Where does it hurt?" Shen Xi brought Guan Lei's wrist closer for a better look but could not find any signs of injury.

Earlier, Shen Xi had been so worried about Guan Lei's health that she did not stop to consider if anything was amiss. Now that she had calmed a little, Shen Xi could not help but feel something was wrong.
