Chapter 87: Saved by the Minor Antagonist (2)_1

"Home." Xiu Xi tightened his grip on her hand and said, leading the way ahead again.

Ruan Jiaojiao watched him silently. Perhaps she had grown accustomed to seeing things in the moonlight, and only now did she realize how wretched the little villain looked. His clothes, already tattered and torn, were now barely covering his body. He was barefoot, his insteps scarred from thorns and prickly plants.

The exposed parts of his body were also covered in wounds, some even bruising.

Ruan Jiaojiao lowered her eyelids, hiding the moisture in her eyes, and held his hand tightly, sincerely saying, "Thank you... Brother Xiu..."

Xiu Xi's pace halted for a moment, his grip on her hand tightened, then he continued walking forward.

Ruan Jiaojiao couldn't tell what time it was, but the insight she had retained from her previous life as an animal allowed her to notice that there were many wild beasts around. Many pairs of eyes, glowing blue and green, were fixed on them.
