"So will you still drive me away?" Qin Youxuan raised her head from his embrace, sniffing pathetically.
"Kitten..."
"Huh?" Qin Youxuan looked at him, confused.
"Aren't you afraid?" Dan Hanjie slightly parted his thin lips, pausing after each word.
His deep black eyes rippled with a hint of melancholy, elusive to all.
Qin Youxuan blinked in surprise, then reacted fast, shook her head forcefully and hugged his waist tightly, "I'm not afraid. Apart from you driving me away, I'm not afraid of anything else."
"..."
Dan Hanjie's chest tightened, an oppressive pain like being gripped by the heart.
After a while, he barely whispered, "But I am scared."
"..."
Qin Youxuan's body stiffened, looking up at him in shock.
Understanding the fear hidden in his eyes...
He was afraid he would lose control again, that he would hurt her again.
He could not bear to face this side of himself, let alone the consequences of harming her.
This has been driving him to push her away.
