Savior

His voice was low. Seeing Xie Xingyun lower his head to bandage her wound, Bai Xianyu’s face turned even redder. She knew that she was thinking wrongly and held her breath.

It was not that Xie Xingyun could not bear to rip his robe, but if his robe were used to bandage the leg of an unmarried girl like Bai Xianyu, it would not sound good if word got out.

“Breathe.”

Bai Xianyu’s face instantly turned red. She did not know how Xie Xingyun noticed that she was holding her breath, but she said softly, “…Oh.”

Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a teasing look in his eyes.

The sunlight was sieved by the swaying tree and scattered all over Xie Xingyun’s handsome face. That bit of sunlight could not warm his face, and even the faint smile at the corner of his mouth made the young man in front of her feel cold to the bone. However, it made the scene in front of her blurry, hazy, and distant.

Bai Xianyu watched and felt that the skin on her leg that he had touched was even hotter. It was so hot that her heart was beating abnormally.

…

Xie Xingyun frowned slightly when he thought of the past.

It was clearly a long time ago. Why could he remember all these details?

He looked around and frowned deeply.

At this hour, Bai Xianyu should have appeared long ago. Why hadn’t he seen her yet?

Xie Xingyun got on the horse and decided to look for her. If she was bitten somewhere else, it would be difficult.

Not long after, he saw Bai Xianyu… and the man beside her.

Bai Xianyu was smiling gently, and she tilted her head to talk to the man.

She was lukewarm to everyone except him. When had she ever smiled at another man like this?

Xie Xingyun subconsciously tightened his grip on the reins. The aura on his body was terrifyingly cold.

Suddenly, the shrubbery behind Bai Xianyu and the man moved. A white tiger roared and pounced on Bai Xianyu’s horse.

Bai Xianyu had been on guard against any accidents. There was movement behind her, so she quickly picked up her bow and arrow. However, the horse was frightened and suddenly raised its hooves to neigh. She was shocked and immediately grabbed the reins. Just as the white tiger was about to pounce on her, an arrow pierced through the wind and accurately pierced through the back of the white tiger’s neck.

She was stunned and tried her best to calm the horse. During this period, Lin Xingjian quickly shot a few more arrows until the white tiger completely stopped moving.

After stabilizing himself, Bai Xianyu turned to look at Lin Xingjian, who was five meters away from her. Her tone was that of surprise, with some appreciation. “Lin Xingjian, your archery skills are actually so good.”

Before she could react, the arrow pierced through the air with a whoosh and hit its vital points.

Lin Xingjian looked at the arrows he shot at the white tiger and scratched his head in embarrassment. “Is that so?”

“Mm.” Bai Xianyu looked at the spot where the white tiger had fallen. “If it weren’t for you, it would probably have pounced on me. Now that winter has just passed, this tiger must be hungry. If it weren’t for your quick reaction, I’m afraid I would have really been pounced on by it. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for saving my life.”

Lin Xingjian was a little flattered and looked at her with bright eyes. “You’re welcome. It’s good that you’re fine.”

…

When they returned to the camp, many people already had a lot of prey in their hands.

As Bai Jinyan could not find them, he arrived at the campsite early.

Bai Xianyu told Bai Jinyan what had just happened. Bai Jinyan let out a strange cry. “Tiger? Sister, are you alright?”

The sika deer that he treasured was thrown away like trash by him. He sized up his sister anxiously.

Bai Xianyu let him size her up and smiled, “I’m fine. It’s all thanks to Lin Xingjian.”

Bai Jinyan repeatedly verified if his sister was unharmed before patting his chest with lingering fear, “You’ve scared me to death. Fortunately, you’re alright.”

After saying that, he punched Lin Xingjian’s chest. “Alright, I owe you a favor this time. If you need help in the future, just let me know.”

Lin Xingjian glanced at Bai Xianyu and nodded.

They did not deliberately lower their voices when they spoke. Xie Xingyun was right next to them and heard their words clearly.

In his previous life, Bai Xianyu treated him as her savior and pestered him.

In this life, Bai Xianyu treated that man as her savior. Did that mean… Bai Xianyu would have deep feelings for him?

[If I could start all over again in this life, I would rather marry the Marquis of Dingyuan’s son. At least, when my Fourth Brother was demoted, he was the only one who stood up for him.]

Xie Xingyun’s handsome face was a little dazed.
