Chapter 188 Do you mind if I help you change your clothes?
Chapter 188 Do you mind if I help you change your clothes?
That outline, already etched in my heart...
"Aye."
Like a small animal that had lost its mind, she suddenly stood up and pounced into the other person's arms.
In that instant, she completely ignored the excruciating pain emanating from her arm, which had reopened due to the exertion, and the agony of her muddled and confused mind.
None of these things mattered to her.
She just wanted to hold him tightly, feel his presence, and greedily inhale the reassuring scent emanating from him.
"Aya... Aya..."
The girl buried her face in his chest, calling his name over and over again, making sure he was really there and hadn't abandoned her.
"I'm here, I'm here."
"Baby, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."
Si Hanye's voice was soft and gentle, like a warm breeze caressing the girl's fragile and broken heartstrings.
He soothed her gently and patiently, patting her trembling body lightly with his large hands.
His handsome brows were now etched with deep sorrow; he had never seen the young girl like this before.
She held him so tightly, so urgently! As if if she loosened her grip even slightly, he would disappear completely.
Si Hanye lifted the girl and placed her on his lap, letting her snuggle in his arms.
He leaned close to her ear and gently called her name again and again, telling her that he would always be there for her.
"A-Ye, don't go... none of you should go..."
The girl seemed trapped in a nightmare, unable to wake up, pleading again and again.
"I won't go, baby, I won't go."
Si Hanye responded softly, tightening his embrace around Tong Guang and gently stroking her hair with his cheek.
"Father, Mother, please don't leave me alone... I'll be good... please don't abandon me..."
The large hand patting her back suddenly stopped, and her heart felt as if it had been struck heavily by a blunt instrument, causing her to tremble violently.
I didn't know how to respond.
For a long, long time...
The warmth of his body gradually melted away the chill in the girl's heart, warming her icy body.
The man's gentle whispers echoed in her ears, repeated again and again.
Like the sound of a zither, the gentle notes drifted into her ears, soothing her anxious and uneasy state of mind.
Slowly lifting her head from his embrace, Si Hanye noticed the girl's movement and loosened his arms slightly.
She raised her hand and gently stroked the man's cheek, feeling the warmth beneath her fingertips. Only then did the girl's confused and bewildered heart truly return to reality.
Her eyes, misty with moisture, curved slightly upwards, the corners of her eyes tinged with a moist, rosy red.
His large hand covered hers, and his thin lips gently kissed her cool fingertips and soft palm.
“Look, baby, I’m always here, and I’ll never leave you.”
Every word and every syllable is a sincere expression of devotion bursting forth from a burning heart.
The last trace of coldness in her body was dispelled by his gentle words.
"Aye..."
Tong Guang let out a soft moan and buried herself once more in his broad, strong embrace. For her, there was no place in the world safer or more comfortable than this.
Her voice still carried a slight lingering sadness.
The flowers, which have just survived a storm, are gradually recovering, but the traces of the ravages of the storm still remain.
"Aya will always be by my side, right? She'll never leave me, right?"
She kept checking on it, feeling insecure.
My breath caught in my throat!
No one knows better than him how unbearable this deep-seated unease is.
He can bear those feelings of despair and suffocation alone; it's not the girl who should have clung to him.
Si Hanye's fingertips trembled as he pulled her tightly into his arms!
Her voice trembled with barely suppressed sobs, "Baby, don't talk nonsense. How could I bear to leave you?"
It is clear that he had begged for this moment for far too long...
"Can I see your arm?"
He had noticed her injured arm earlier, but the girl was too emotionally out of control and unable to calm down, so he could only suppress his anxiety and worry and slowly comfort her.
I glanced at my left arm; the slightly scabbed wound had reopened. Even as I calmed down, the burning pain returned.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all... really."
Tong Guang pursed his lips tightly, enduring the excruciating pain, and forced a smile as he stroked the man's bloodshot eyes with his fingertips.
Not wanting to worry the other person, she spoke in a very relaxed tone. "It was just an accidental injury, nothing serious, so don't worry, Aye. I really..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was gently pulled into the man's arms again.
A large hand covered the back of her head, and his usually clear and magnetic voice suppressed a hoarse, sour tone.
"Tong Guang, don't be like this. You can be your true self in front of me. Cry when you want to cry, laugh when you want to laugh. You don't need to suppress your emotions... You can do anything that others might think is immature."
Beneath his ear was his burning, pounding heart. Whether human or demon, this place is the most vulnerable, yet it is also so magical, capable of giving rise to so many complex emotions.
Surrounded by such intense and doting love, each tender and gentle voice shattered all her pretense and strength.
Her eyes instantly filled with tears, like a wronged child, and she sobbed softly, "A-Ye."
"I'm here."
"It hurts so much, my arm hurts so much..."
It hurts everywhere...!
"I know, I know everything."
Li Qi gave the entire bottle of medicine to Tong Guang, and Si Hanye carefully applied it to the gruesome wound.
His dark eyes flashed with an icy chill; he would not let any of those people go.
Because the wound was on his arm, Si Hanye brought over a sleeveless cotton dress.
"Wear this one; it won't touch the wound. Plus, the material is softer and more comfortable, which will make you feel better."
When she returned, Tong Guang was worried that he would discover her wound, so she didn't change out of her long-sleeved shirt.
"Let me help you change, baby." He smiled slightly, his eyebrows adorned with a refined and elegant smile.
Knowing that the man only wanted to help her and had no other intentions, Tong Guang still blushed.
Although she had been 'open and honest' when they first met, that was ultimately an accident.
But the clothes I'm wearing are really inconvenient, and they're uncomfortable when I sleep.
Tong Guang gently bit her red lips and nodded shyly.
He took a step forward, his tall and imposing figure casting the girl in his shadow.
With long fingers, he gently lifted the edge of her black and pink hoodie upwards.
Suddenly, a section of her slender, snow-white waist was exposed to the air.
Without the cover of her clothes, Tong Guang felt a sudden chill at her waist and shivered slightly.
"Don't be nervous," Si Hanye said softly, his face expressionless.
Carefully avoiding the wound, the shirt was finally slowly removed.
Tong Guang's pretty face flushed a little more deeply...
