Lu Yizhou sucked in a breath and a growl rumbled deep from his chest. "Lan'er."
Heimo shuddered and let out a sigh which would be so mortifying if he wasn't so overwhelmed; by his own unusual condition, by today's scare, by his own guilt, longing and desire. This wasn't the right time, a small voice in the back of his mind warned. He had disappeared for a week, Shijie must have been so worried and he hadn't checked on Ningning's condition yet. There were so many important things to do rather than mingling with a righteous cultivator who could very well kill him one day. But Lu Yizhou had gotten hurt because of him, another voice argued. Even if they were enemies, it would be despicable to leave him to fend for himself. Heimo wasn't such an immoral person and if Ningning had another relapse, Shijie would send him a signal which he hadn't seen all day. So… he could spare some time to treat Lu Yizhou, right? It wouldn't be wrong to repay a favor, right?
