Episode 22 recap: Xie Yun took care of Yin Ji.
After learning that the butler's corpse had been found on the street, Yin Ji became very angry. Now, she also had no self-care ability. Yin Ji, unable to see, had not eaten for a long time. Yin Ji could only go out to the street to try and find something to eat. As a result, someone knocked Yin Ji over, and Yin Ji happened to land next to a steamed bun shop. Yin Ji quickly picked up the buns from the ground and started eating them.
From afar, Xie Yun saw Yin Ji's desolate scene and felt very distressed. Yin Ji didn't even care about being hit, the priority was to fill her stomach. Xie Yun saw some soldiers approaching, so he quickly gave money to the shopkeeper and then helped Yin Ji pick up her cane, step-by-step guiding her back home.
Throughout this, Xie Yun didn't say a word, not wanting Yin Ji to know it was him helping. Xie Yun brought Yin Ji back to his home, but didn't want to reveal his identity to Yin Ji, so he pretended to be mute, using writing on Yin Ji's hand to tell him that this would be his new home. However, Yin Ji didn't want to implicate Xie Yun and planned to leave, which deeply saddened Xie Yun.
Yin Ji's wounds had reopened, so Xie Yun re-bandaged them. Yin Ji said the person he knew resembled Xie Yun, and that Xie Yun had always wanted to protect him. Xie Yun deliberately asked Yin Ji who this person was, and Xie Yun claimed it was his wife, the person he loved most. Upon hearing this, Yin Ji fainted, and Xie Yun, feeling very pained, could only apologize, knowing he had hurt Yin Ji deeply despite Yin Ji's kindness to him.
Xie Yun remained by Yin Ji's side. When Yin Ji woke up and felt someone there, he gently touched Xie Yun, accidentally pressing down on him. Yin Ji didn't dare cough loudly, afraid of waking Xie Yun. In reality, Yin Ji had already realized the person in front of him was Xie Yun, but dared not say it out loud, struggling to hold back his tears.
Yin Ji told Xie Yun that once he recovered, he would leave, as Xie Yun had not taken good care of him and had lost him. Hearing this, Xie Yun felt deeply distressed. Xie Yun deliberately asked what had happened between them, and Yin Ji said he had not harmed himself, but had misunderstood Xie Yun. Xie Yun held back her tears, as Yin Ji had never hated Xie Yun, and all of this was of his own doing - he only wanted to make it up to Yin Ji.
After hearing these words, Xie Yun hurriedly left. Yin Ji stood there, filled with confusion, not understanding why Xie Yun chose to flee rather than openly acknowledge the truth. In fact, Xie Yun's inner world had become like a taut string, unable to bear any more pressure. She chose to escape because she realized Yin Ji's love for her was so deep, and she had inadvertently hurt him.
At this moment, Xie Yun's inner world was chaotic and painful - she did not know how to face the Yin Ji who had always deeply loved her. Likewise, Yin Ji was also deeply troubled, their hearts both burdened by this complex emotion, both feeling profound anguish. However, they both did not know how to solve this thorny problem, and could only let this pain spread within their hearts.
