Wen Xingsu's face instantly softened.
Embraced trustingly in his arms, leaning against him without any defense, Wen Xingsu's revealed smile was underlaid with a heartache that felt as though it was about to tear apart.
"Yao Yao..."
Wen Xingsu slowly lifted his hand to hug Feng Yun back, his palm gently stroking her back.
"Don't be afraid, your big brother is here."
He closed his eyes, but then he heard Feng Yun say, "Big brother, if surviving is the priority and the General blackmails us with his life, it wouldn't matter to surrender..."
Her voice was neither light nor heavy, enough to reach the ears of the guards.
Then, Feng Yun pinched his lower back, and Wen Xingsu heard a lower breath of voice speaking to him, "I will find a way to save you, big brother, take great care of yourself."
Before Wen Xingsu could speak, she raised her voice slightly, "There's nothing more urgent than staying alive. Big brother, you are the only family I have left in this world..."
