As soon as the unknown woman heard his voice, she instinctively looked up and rose from her seat. Tears cascaded down her delicate features, and, in a moment of desperation, she dashed toward Pei Qinshan, wrapping her arms tightly around him.
"Brother Qinshan... Brother Qinshan…" she cried, her voice trembling with fear as she clung to him. "I am so scared."
Startled by the sudden embrace, Pei Qinshan hesitated for a brief moment. Yet, as he felt the trembling of Lu Sisi's body and recalled her fragile health, he sighed and gently patted her back. "Sisi, calm down... calm down... don't cry anymore," he soothed her.
"Xingcheng, he....." she sobbed, barely able to form any words.
"He will be fine. You need to calm down first," he reassured her, guiding her back to a chair. Sitting beside her, he continued to comfort her until her sobs faded, allowing him to inquire about the situation. "Sisi, what happened?"
