stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just wanted to shoot it into the bamboo house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t praise me too much, or I’ll get cocky,\" Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to practice the whip,\" Xingxing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, in the quiet backyard, with a gentle breeze blowing —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One practiced the slingshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One practiced the whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One couldn’t aim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One whipped themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xie Jingchen entered the backyard, he saw colorful stones scattered all over the ground, shining in the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin originally planned to shoot the stone into the wooden bucket on the stone table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xie Jingchen approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved the slingshot’s target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still couldn’t aim, anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin aimed at Xie Jingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let go of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful stone flew toward Xie Jingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen reached out and caught the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t caught it, it would have hit his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen was flustered, unable to aim at the bucket which was closer, yet she was able to aim at him accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen flicked his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone flew toward Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frightened, Su Jin crouched down holding her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the stone landed steadily in the lunch box beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin, \"...\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blatant form of contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t even shoot accurately with a slingshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually threw and succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ready-made teacher, there’s no reason not to seek guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin decided to humbly ask for advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up and walked toward Xie Jingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepped too far, the skirt hem covered the ground, accidentally stepping on a stone, and she fell forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen swiftly moved to catch Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was tricked by the slippery stones underfoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whole lunch box of stones, imagine the density of stones on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He caught Su Jin, but Xie Jingchen’s foot slipped, cushioning Su Jin’s fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen collided on the ground, his back hitting the stones, making him groan in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he opened his eyes, he saw Su Jin’s bright, watery eyes gazing at him, serene and translucent like fine glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A delicate face, skin like creamy jade, hair like ink, exuding a subtle orchid fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin gazed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handsome brows and starry eyes, the brilliance in his eyes reflecting her, shimmering like a radiant moon pouring light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing was practicing the whip, turned her head and saw Su Jin had toppled over Xie Jingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated, forgetting the whip in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whip lashed her own back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain made her cry out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard covered his eyes, unable to bear watching, never seen anyone whip themselves so harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of crying reached their ears, Su Jin snapped back to reality, her ears slightly red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled to get up, Xie Jingchen held her waist and said, \"Your way of delivering an embrace is quite unique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delivering an embrace?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this guy become dumb after being hit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl like her who would just grab what she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she possibly be playing the damsel in distress now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to hug me from now on, just do it without scattering so many stones,\" his voice was rich like wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle breeze blew, making Su Jin feel a little intoxicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you going to get up?\" Su Jin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re on top of me, I can’t get up,\" Xie Jingchen replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re holding me, how can I get up?\" Su Jin gritted her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen silently loosened his hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, not paying attention to her footing, she took a backward step and fell forward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen was just about to get up, once again cushioning her fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin, \"...\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen, \"...!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard ground his foot against a stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was painful to step on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt more and more sorry for his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eldest Young Madam not only tripped others, she even tripped herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing grimaced and walked over, kicking the stones far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she helped Su Jin up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, are you alright?\" Xingxing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine,\" Su Jin replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen was too pained to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin quickly helped him up, looking at the dozens of stones scattered on the ground, she didn’t dare to meet Xie Jingchen’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back inside, Xie Jingchen took off his brocade robe, revealing a broad back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That fall resulted in some serious bruises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His back was covered in bruises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin reached out and lightly poked, Xie Jingchen sucked in a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muffled sounds of pain made Su Jin feel guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen couldn’t help but hug Su Jin, saying, \"Are you trying to torment me to death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not!\" Su Jin defended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled, but Xie Jingchen wouldn’t let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as Su Jin struggled, his brows furrowed, clearly the back pain was pulling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Release me quickly,\" Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let go, who knows how you’ll trip me again, only holding you makes me feel secure,\" Xie Jingchen said righteously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this guy become a rogue after the bump?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it alright if I just go out?\" Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen looked at her, \"You really are heartless, leaving after crushing me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin, \"...\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving wasn’t an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching out to help wasn’t an option either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly does he want from her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin chanted to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just saved her, otherwise those bruises would be on her, so he had a right to be angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want from me?\" Su Jin asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the Hidden Guard came in, \"Eldest Young Madam, I’ve brought the ice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, seeing his master holding the Eldest Young Madam, the Hidden Guard quickly turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin blushed like a rosy sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled a bit, saying, \"I’ll give you an ice pack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen loosened his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay on the small couch, Su Jin prepared the ice for Xie Jingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soft hands glided across his back, like feathers tickling his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen said sullenly, \"Are you really giving me an ice pack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else?\" Su Jin replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel like you’re taking advantage of me?\" Xie Jingchen questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin burst with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was being gentle because she cared, yet in return, he accused her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out and poked at a bruise firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed by Xie Jingchen’s cries of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was hair-raising and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing stepped onto the porch, stopped by the Hidden Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me take a look,\" Xingxing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Eldest Young Madam is treating the master’s bruises, if you have nothing to do, continue practicing the whip,\" the Hidden Guard replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to rest for a few days before practicing again,\" Xingxing said, wincing in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden Guard, \"...\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whip she just landed really hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made it worse was that her clothes were new and she had split them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also needed medication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn’t reach her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing turned to the bamboo house to get ointment, going to the front yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little maid saw the whip marks on her back and gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eldest Young Madam was really ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just a maid, yet got whipped so badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gently, gently, it hurts,\" Xingxing yelped in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Xingxing, what did you do to anger the Eldest Young Madam?\" the little maid couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t anger her at all,\" Xingxing replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how did those marks get on your back?\" the little maid asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I whipped myself while practicing,\" Xingxing said dejectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little maid,
