The prosecutor supported her and offered some gentle words of comfort, and in the end, the presiding judge could only have people take her out.
…
Chi Yan walked out of the courtroom and saw Chi Yue waiting for her outside.
"Yue Yue—" she called out in a long voice, running toward Chi Yue, hugging her tightly, almost her whole body hanging on Chi Yue, sobbing, "I... I cried… Yue Yue, am I very stupid... very incompetent?"
Chi Yue wiped her tears for her, thanked the court officers who had escorted her out, and gently patted her back.
"Not at all, not at all, you did very well. You don't know, I cried just now too."
Chi Yan was startled, suddenly looked up with her face still wet with tears, but her tone was noticeably lighter, "Really?"
Chi Yue: "Really."
Chi Yan's sobs became sharper, clearly more anxious, "Were you scared too?"
Chi Yue hesitated before nodding, "Yes, it was very frightening. I was terrified."
