Just imagining Xiao Luo taking off his clothes was enough to make her feel like she was about to get a nosebleed.
Aaah! Stop thinking about it! That’s way too naughty!
“Bulaya, can we change the subject? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for two girls to be discussing this?”
The real problem was that she couldn’t help recalling romantic scenes from modern TV dramas. Then, in her mind, she’d automatically replace the male lead’s face with Xiao Luo’s…
…and after that, her imagination would simply freeze.
“This concerns your future happiness. How can you not care about it? Actually, Brother Luo’s legs didn’t have to remain crippled.”
Bulaya suddenly let out a melancholy sigh.
Jin Luoluo immediately became alert and asked anxiously,
“What do you mean? His legs weren’t supposed to stay crippled?”
“After I rescued Brother Luo and brought him back to our tribe, my father personally treated his legs. My father was the most famous physician on the frontier, especially skilled at treating broken bones and other orthopedic injuries. He intended to operate on Brother Luo’s lower legs to restore them. But Brother Luo refused. I really couldn’t understand it. How could someone be so foolish as to choose to remain disabled?”
Jin Luoluo was deeply shocked.
She had never known there was such a story behind Xiao Luo’s crippled legs.
His legs hadn’t remained crippled because they were beyond healing.
It was because he himself had refused treatment.
He believed that only by remaining crippled could he completely dispel the Emperor’s suspicions and allow his imperial brother to sit securely on the throne.
An overwhelming ache filled Jin Luoluo’s heart.
Xiao Luo had sacrificed so much for the Emperor.
Yet the Emperor still doubted him.
Xiao Luo had treasured their brotherly bond, but the Emperor had personally destroyed that very affection.
Was such an elder brother really worth sacrificing both of his legs to earn his trust?
Jin Luoluo’s opinion of the old Emperor sank even lower.
“Bulaya, then… could your father still have healed Xiao Luo’s legs now?”
A glimmer of hope rose in her heart.
If there was even the slightest possibility, she would do everything in her power to help Xiao Luo stand again.
He had already sacrificed far too much for the Emperor.
Ten years of living with crippled legs were more than enough to repay any debt of brotherhood between them.
How could she allow him to continue sacrificing himself?
Bulaya’s expression darkened.
“If he had received treatment back then, he would have recovered completely. But now the bones have long since healed in their current position. If my father were still alive, there might still be a fifty-percent chance. But… my father has already passed away.”
