Qiao Jing's hug was affectionate, and he held Qiao Yue tight.
Qiao Yue couldn't move in his arms and even found it difficult to breathe, but she had no intention of pushing him away.
She said with a smile, "It's just a business trip, not separation by life and death. Do you need to be like this?"
Qiao Jing's face was buried in the crook of her neck, and his breath seeped through the gauze around her neck. It was warm.
"You must protect yourself," Qiao Jing said after a while.
"Okay. I'm not a kid anymore. Besides, there's still third brother, fourth brother and the old master." Qiao Yue said.
Qiao Jing let her go. The two of them only had eyes for each other now.
Qiao Jing had been very busy lately. He looked a little haggard and even had dark circles under his eyes.
Qiao Yue reached out and touched under Qiao Jing's eyes. "Second brother has been working too hard lately. You've even developed dark circles under your eyes!"
