Xin Zimen came to check up on Ying who was staring into space with a blank look. When she felt someone's presence, she turned her head and looked at Xin Zimen. Suddenly, she couldn't lift her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to look straight at him anymore.
The instruction she received was to stay close to Xiu and not leave for even a minute. And Xin Zimen had even stressed to not leave under any circumstances. But she actually went against her orders. In her impulsive state, she actually left Xiu's side and let something like this happen.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"I won't die," she replied.
"That's good," was his response. He could practically read her every thought right now and it distressed him even more. "Soldiers don't lower their heads before others."
Ying fisted the sheets under her, "But it was my negligence that brought this calamity."
