The atmosphere in Elena's office shifted into a tranquil silence as Yuchen cradled her in a tight embrace, providing a comforting sanctuary.
Elena sought a comfortable position on the sofa, raising her legs and leaning against Yuchen's chest, attempting to find comfort in his arms. The remnants of Weiyang's touch began to fade, and Elena could feel the reassurance of Yuchen's presence.
"Yuchen..." Elena's soft call carried a note of vulnerability as she raised her head to meet his gaze.
"Hm?" Yuchen responded, turning his attention to Elena with a glimmer of hope, anticipating that she might finally open up about the events that troubled her.
Elena hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether she could say what was on her mind. Eventually, her lips parted, and she uttered, "Kiss me..." The words sounded like a whisper, a plea that hinted at a deeper longing within her.
