Chapter 171: Almost Died at His Hands

"Who are you concerned about?" Lin Xu tilted her head, her lips curving into a light smile, "Of course, I am concerned about you."

Xie Changyan looked at her bright, smiling face, his eyes swirling with emotions that Lin Xu could not understand.

After a while, he averted his gaze, his throat producing a light, emotionless voice, "I'm fine."

"Oh..." Lin Xu responded, pointing to the stage in the center of the deck, "There seems to be a performance over there, shall we go watch it together?"

Seeing the excitement on her face, Xie Changyan choked on the words of refusal lingering in his throat and eventually squeezed out a "yes."

He walked beside Lin Xu when suddenly a warm, soft touch came from his palm.

Xie Changyan looked down and saw that Lin Xu had naturally taken his hand.

"What, what's wrong?" Lin Xu noticed his expression was somewhat off and was about to retract her hand when, in the next second, Xie Changyan gripped it even tighter.
