Recently, the wounds on her back had been healing. The cell regeneration process was itchy, sometimes keeping her awake at night.
Now, with him holding her like this, the pain in her back seemed to lessen significantly.
He kissed the nape of her neck repeatedly. His hand slowly drew across her back, counting and recalling each bruise she received…Every scar she bore…
Xia Yunsheng asked: "What are you doing?"
"Counting the number of times they beat you. Repayment will come in time."
"…" Xia Yunsheng said: "I heard they are from the Donggong Family."
"And so?"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Paying a debt is only natural. They hurt you; they should expect to pay in kind. It doesn't matter whom they are associated with."
Xia Yunsheng said: "I'm relieved to hear that. I was afraid I'd cause you trouble."
