"If you have something to say, use your words. Why do you need to hug Master?" Xiao Li glared, but made no move to stop him.
"I like Master's scent." Xie Xie tightened his hold, his voice weak. "I need to be close to you to recover my strength."
Xiao Yun and Xiao Lan fluttered off her shoulders, hovering nearby as Xie Xie buried his face in the crook of her neck.
At first, they thought he was just using this as an excuse to cling to her, but then they noticed his usually radiant face had gone pale, his golden eyes dimmed. No one protested after that.
Only Xiao Yun studied Xie Xie with a strange look.
"Xie Xie, how can I help you?" Her heart ached. He always pushed himself like this for her sake.
"Xie Xie, do you want to eat something?" Zhiyi offered.
"Need help?" Shenlian Yinzhu and Bing Xue chimed in.
