Huo Xing'Er didn't voice her doubts, keeping them to herself.
Xiaosuisui nestled in her arms, chattering excitedly about her recent exploits.
"I went to save Zhao Fei; the people from Li's Pharmacy beat him up so badly!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone turned their gaze towards the young man in front of them.
He kept his head lowered, clearly lacking confidence, his posture slumped as if he couldn't straighten up.
"Don't be scared, we won't blame you."
Huo Xing'Er offered Zhao Fei an understanding smile.
Zhao Fei jerked his head up, looking at her in disbelief.
Huo Xing'Er, however, asked him a question.
"Can you explain what Suisui just said? From the look on your faces, it seems as if this isn't your first meeting!"
Huo Xing'Er's question was exactly what everyone else was wondering.
"I... I first met my benefactor a few days before the Double Ninth Festival. My younger sister had been injured by a horse, and she saved my sister!"
