Her Approach (9)

Song Qingchun thought he was surprised at the fact that she knew, so she explained, "When I brought you back yesterday, I saw your hands clutched over your stomach. I moved them away and saw blood. Later that night…"

I took off your clothes… Song Qingchun found herself unable to say those words, so she lowered her head bashfully and skipped over it. "… I saw your wound."

She switched the subject immediately after. "What caused the injury? A knife?"

Su Zhinian nodded.

"But why would you get stabbed by a knife?" Song Qingchun asked.

"It was an accident. I got into an altercation with a mugger, and his hand slipped," Su Zhinian answered with a shrug. It sounded like the whole incident didn't matter to him, but his words brought back some trauma for Song Qingchun.

Altercation, knife… Song Qingchun was reminded of her abduction. She saw the knife flash before her eyes as the driver plunged it toward her chest.
