#i... tried?

Xi Sang Gui takes the medicine from Qian Qiao, stepping forward to their Lord in his chair.

He barely looks at her as she brushes away the long fall of his hair and purses her lips at the sight of the long, angry gash up his back. “This will sting,” She warns.

Wen Kexing huffs, eyes closed, expression a serene beauty. If she hadn’t seen his injury, he would have thought that he was sleeping.

She gently dabs the ointment to the edges of the torn skin, carefully applying the tonics and unguents. It will scar but if he is careful, what is left behind won’t be anything that he can’t hide if he wants to.

“Why did you do that?” She asks softly after a beat. “Why did you stop that man from killing me? Only the strongest survives in this place, so why?”

He doesn’t answer immediately and for a second she thinks he has fallen asleep. She finishes dressing the wound and prepares to leave when he turns, eyes a fever bright pitch of darkness she can’t look away from.

“I was strong enough to protect you,” Wen Kexing says. “And so, I did.”

Xi Sang Gui smiles at that. “You can’t protect everyone all the time.”

He grins and suddenly she remembers the child that he had once been. When he turns away, closing his eyes to rest, she rises, sketching a bow before leaving him to his slumber.
