Chapter 138: The Air was so Sticky It was Stringy

Su Chaoxi pinched his hand, the movement very gentle.

Compared to Xie Tianyin, whose casual strength was always on display, Su Chaoxi's grip was exceptionally light.

Xie Xunzhi watched Su Chaoxi intently staring at his wound, a tenderness he never dared to hope for in the past.

Suddenly, a sharp prick from the tweezer followed by a light flick.

The sharp and bloody splinter had been removed.

The moment it was extracted, the sensation of having a foreign object lodged in vanished instantly.

Xie Xunzhi noticed Su Chaoxi let out a sigh of relief.

And feeling her relief, Xie Xunzhi couldn't help but exhale as well.

Xie Tianyin had been by Su Chaoxi's side the whole time.

Xie Xunzhi thought Xie Tianyin was watching Su Chaoxi remove the splinter.

But with an unintentional glance up, Xie Xunzhi distinctly saw that Xie Tianyin's gaze had been fixed on Su Chaoxi's face all along.

In those eyes, there was an emotion that Xie Xunzhi had never seen before.
