He ran the water, tested the temperature, then turned back and saw Jian Anning still sitting dazedly to the side. His heart ached, and he walked over and said softly, "The water's ready."
Jian Anning nodded, gently unbuttoning her top. Seeing the marks crisscrossing her skin, Yu Zexiao felt both troubled and pained. When she reached to unbutton her pants, Yu Zexiao even turned his face away, not daring to look. He was truly afraid to see that sight!
He clenched his fists, took a deep breath to muster the courage to turn back, and only saw Jian Anning's long, fair legs without any horrifying marks. His heart suddenly felt much lighter. Thinking of the pain she had endured, he felt deeply guilty. For a man, not being able to protect the woman he loves is one thing, but now…
When he thought of this, he immediately got into the bathtub with her, gently holding her: "Anning, no matter what, I still love you."
