"How I wish I could have someone to put me first, to consider whether I'm hungry or have eaten; to put a cloak over my shoulders when I get cold; to hear him declare his love for me openly and reject the advances of all others; to share my burdens and fight on my behalf, so that no one would dare to bully me. I feel so happy just thinking about it." Zhao Yuan's yearning was so great that it was almost palpable.
Zhao Yuan turned to Shen Xi with her red-rimmed eyes. "Think about it. Hasn't Brother Lei always done right by you?"
Shen Xi went over all the time she had spent with Guan Lei. Now that she thought about it, she and Guan Lei had gone through a lot together in just two months.
"Hah! See, you can't deny it now, can you? Do you feel warm and comfortable when you think of Brother Lei?" Zhao Yuan teased with a crooked grin as she patted her friend's cheek.
