"You actually kept it from me?"
Upon learning the truth and thinking back on everything since she had met Chi Jingxuan, Qin Yuji realized that the man had been guarding her in secret all along; she just hadn't been aware of it.
Chi Jingxuan smiled and kissed her, "You're so proud, and you were in such a situation at the time, that if I had told you about my circumstances then, you would not have let me help you but would have run far and away instead."
"Where would I find you then?" he asked softly, looking down and resting his forehead against hers.
Qin Yuji hadn't anticipated that Chi Jingxuan would understand her so well.
Having suffered so much hardship, she could appreciate even the smallest bit of warmth in the world and how it could lift one's spirits. Therefore, over the years, whenever she saw someone in need of help, Qin Yuji had always lent a hand without hesitation.
