At this moment, Xiao Jin finally removed his mask and stopped using those potions that concealed his presence. His aura became more pure, and Xiao Xue could sense his true aura.
Xiao Xue was full of anger, pointing at Xiao Jin and saying furiously, "Sister, you don’t have to defend him. I clearly saw just now that he grabbed you to prevent you from running away, and he wanted to press you down. He must be bullying you!"
Xiao Xue became angrier as he spoke, about to rush forward and fight Xiao Jin.
Shen Tang quickly coughed lightly, awkwardly explaining, "It’s really not like that. He was injured, and I’m helping him with treatment..."
Xiao Xue halted his motion, looked suspiciously at Xiao Jin, then turned to look at Shen Tang. His gaze swept over their faces, noticing they both had slightly flushed faces as if they were feverish.
So, he hurried to Shen Tang’s side, placing his small hands on her arms, looking up and speaking with concern, "Tangtang, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
As Xiao Jin’s breathing mostly calmed down, he raised an eyebrow without speaking, leisurely turning his head to gaze at Shen Tang, seemingly wanting to see how she would explain.
Shen Tang’s mouth twitched heavily. Facing this simple and adorable silver-haired little boy, what kind of "inappropriate" words could she say!
She went against her conscience, only able to cajole him for now, "Well... I just went out for a while and caught a cold by accident. But it’s okay; I have a healing ability, so this minor issue is nothing. A good sleep will fix it."
Only after hearing this did Xiao Xue breathe a sigh of relief.
But then he seemed to think of something, looking up at her with a grievance, pouting and saying, "Tangtang, you lied to me. You clearly said you’d be back soon, but you didn’t come back for a long time! I was worried something happened to you, went out to find you, and looked everywhere but couldn’t find you... What were you doing? Were you with him?"
By the latter part, Xiao Xue’s voice carried a hint of jealousy.
Although his memory hasn’t fully recovered, he instinctively feels jealous, his intuition telling him: Nothing good will come of these two going out together!
Shen Tang also rubbed her forehead, racking her brain to make up a reason, "I... I just went out to find Brother Fu and happened to find him on the way, so we came back together."
Xiao Xue blinked, is that really the case?
