Chapter 71: Bai Li and Yan cijin.

[Hello guys, I have completely corrected the previous Chapters and made huge changes. Please read again from Chapter 67 to get a better idea of the Chapters.]

Being tied to another person was never comfortable, and Bai Li had just spent a long time lowering them both down a building while supporting not only her own weight but Yan Cijin’s as well. Anyone could imagine how difficult that must have been, especially with the pressure on her injured hands. But the truth was, only Bai Li and Yan Cijin themselves knew the subtle emptiness they felt the instant they let go of each other. It was the kind of thing neither of them would have admitted out loud, and yet it lingered anyway. Bai Li made sure Yan Cijin was alright almost immediately after that, her eyes briefly flicking over her face, her shoulders, her posture. The question that came out of her mouth was simple enough, but it carried a kind of quiet care that stood out because it was Bai Li saying it. "Are you frightened?" she asked. Yan Cijin looked at her and could not help but think that Bai Li was worrying about her mental state while ignoring her own terrible condition entirely. That thought made her feel warm in a way that was hard to explain. It also made her want to smile, which she did only very slightly before nodding in reply. She was tired, and she would be lying if she said she wasn’t a little shaken by everything, but Bai Li’s concern still made her feel good.
