Why Didn't You Want My Child?(9)

"Yes, it's me." Lu Jinnian's had heard the clear but faint voice. After a moment, he asked, "Qiao Qiao, how are you feeling now?" 

After he had asked, she seemed to feel a sharp pain on her left leg. Biting her lip, she replied softly, "I'm fine." 

She lifted her head to look at the dried branch above her. "Where is this?" 

"I don't know," Lu Jinnian replied honestly. 

"Oh..."

They both remained silent. Lu Jinnian focused on the road ahead, walking carefully with Qiao Anhao on his back. 

Qiao Anhao wasn't able to get over what had happened. She leaned on Lu Jinnian's back, staring into space with a blank expression, deep in thought. After a long while, she realized that Lu Jinnian's presence meant that he had jumped down the cliff after her. 

In that instance, her heart squeezed, her expression turning into one of incomprehension.
