Chapter 30
Protecting Her
Su Binglan blinked, looked at the sky, and said, “Alright, then follow me. If you feel unwell, let me know.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” Luo Jin’an looked indifferent as he continued to walk forward.
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an’s figure and felt that he was a very tenacious person. Looking at Luo Jin’an’s figure and thinking of the wounds on his body, Su Binglan suddenly became curious about his past experiences.
‘What exactly did he experience?’
Since Luo Jin’an had experienced so much pain, he could follow Su Binglan to the back of the mountain with barely any issues even though his body was in a terrible condition.
‘Is it because Luo Jin’an is numb, or the pain he feels now can’t compare to the pain he experienced in the past?’
Su Binglan became increasingly curious at this thought. She wanted to know what happened to Luo Jin’an and almost asked him. However, she accidentally fell when she got distracted by her thoughts.
“Ah!”
Luo Jin’an was walking beside her, so she naturally reached out to catch Su Binglan.
Su Binglan fell into Luo Jin’an’s arms, but since the inertia of her fall was too strong, and the path was rocky, Luo Jin’an couldn’t hold on to Su Binglan firmly.
Both fell to the side, but Luo Jin’an instinctively protected Su Binglan.
Slam!
The two fell to the ground heavily.
“Ugh!” Luo Jin’an grunted.
Su Binglan was fine since Luo Jin’an protected her. Hearing Luo Jin’an’s grunt, Su Binglan hurriedly got up, looked at him, and asked, “A-Are you okay, Jin’an?”
Luo Jin’an frowned. Even when he frowned, he was handsome. But Su Binglan couldn’t care less about appreciating the man’s good looks. She knew Luo Jin’an was in great pain.
Su Binglan quickly got up and pulled Luo Jin’an up. Then she saw a few stones on his back.
‘Luo Jin’an fell on the stones to protect me.’
Su Binglan almost fell onto a large rock, but Luo Jin’an was quick to react.
“You must be in terrible pain right now.” Su Binglan felt guilty.
She reached out to remove Luo Jin’an’s shirt as she spoke, wanting to see how badly Luo Jin’an injured his back.
Luo Jin’an immediately pressed Su Binglan’s hand down and asked in a deep voice, “What are you doing?”
Su Binglan felt that Luo Jin’an held her hand too hard, and she couldn’t break free. “Let me see if your back is hurt.”
Luo Jin’an said lightly, “I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury.”
Su Binglan replied, “That’s not a minor injury!”
After that, Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an’s indifferent expression. She realized something and said, “You must have suffered a lot in the past, huh?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Jin’an’s body trembled. He lowered his head and remained silent.
Su Binglan noticed Luo Jin’an’s depressed expression and apologized, “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything by those words. Did my words trigger some bad memories?”
Luo Jin’an said, “I-It’s nothing. That’s all in the past now.”
Luo Jin’an knew Su Binglan was clever when he saw her expression. ‘She must’ve found out something about me.’
“Weren’t we almost at the back of the mountain? Let’s continue our journey,” Luo Jin’an said to change the topic.
Su Binglan knew Luo Jin’an didn’t want others to know his secrets.
“Can I take a look at your back? I want to see if it’s bleeding.”
Luo Jin’an got injured because of Su Binglan, but she couldn’t leave him to suffer and wanted to make sure he was okay.
