Carry you on my back or in my arms? Pick one.
Su Li's expression stiffened.
Tang Yuanxiao was exasperated. "Su Li, it's just the two of us out here. Why are you trying to act so tough?"
He took a deep breath. "If it hurts, just say so. Why did you endure it? You kept holding it in until you passed out..."
Tang Yuanxiao had actually been very angry just now. Angry that Su Li had endured the pain without saying a word, to the point of fainting.
Su Li fell silent.
'I'm just used to the pain, used to enduring it...' she thought. 'Isn't this how I got through all the pain in my last life?'
"I... I'm fine," Su Li said, knowing Tang Yuanxiao was concerned for her. It was all she could say.
"From now on, you're not allowed to just endure it. If it hurts, cry out," Tang Yuanxiao said, and then directly moved to lift Su Li onto his back again. "Be good."
Su Li looked at Tang Yuanxiao's tense profile and didn't struggle.
