At that moment, she buried herself in his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. In a moment of utter dependence, she clung to him without saying a word, releasing all the pent-up emotions in his embrace.
Gu Shaocheng wanted to comfort her, but in the end, he didn't utter a single word. Instead, he simply tilted his body, allowing his hand to gently stroke her back, accepting her complaints and surprises.
Seeing her pour out her grievances like a child, a smile involuntarily spread across his face.
Chenxing lifted her tear-streaked eyes.
She grabbed his arm in a rather unreasonable manner, forcing him to make a promise, "You promise you won't be like this again. No more sleeping for so long, leaving me scared and alone. Promise me now."
Gu Shaocheng was both amused and touched. He gently caressed her cheek, his lips swallowing her tears, speaking softly, "Don't cry, I promise I won't leave you scared and alone again, okay?"
