"What? Just now you were holding me and crying until you had a lot of tears and snot, and now you're ready to rebel?"
Shi Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice pretending to be solemn, but his eyes were filled with smiles.
And his words happened to remind Qian Qianqian of something. Recalling the scene where she was hiding in Shi Jing's arms and crying so hard, her face suddenly burned to the base of her ears.
Looking away from Shi Jing's smiling eyes, she said with some guilt:
"I...I'll go get the dog and bring it to you."
She didn't know if Shi Jing's initial encouragement had an effect or if it was for other reasons. Qian Qianqian found that she was much less afraid of Teddy than before. At least, she dared to approach it slowly.
Little Teddy stuck out his pink tongue and looked at Qian Qianqian approaching, his mouth slightly grinned as if he wanted to express his kindness to Qian Qianqian.
On the contrary, Qian Qianqian's smile looked a little stiff, and she carefully sat down next to Teddy. She was on pins and needles and turned her gaze to Shi Jing. She saw that Shi Jing was no longer teasing as before, and was now using a pair of encouraging words.
looked at her with eyes.
His thin lips were slightly raised, and he said to her: "Don't be afraid, reach out and hug it."
He sat close to her, patted her shoulder and said, "I bought this for you."
"For me?"
Qian Qianqian couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. She turned around and looked at Shi Jing's water-clear eyes and the smile hanging on the corner of her mouth. Her heartbeat suddenly skipped several beats.
Faintly, I felt that the roots of my ears were starting to feel hot again, and the originally depressed mood gradually dissipated because of Shi Jing's words, and even a faint smile appeared at the corner of my mouth.
She also forgot that Shi Jing bought her a dog that scared her so much that her adrenaline surged.
Shi Jing saw the fainting smile in her eyes, and felt happy in her heart. He smiled at her, nodded, and said: "Yes, I bought it for you. Go and hug it. I didn't see it."
Waiting for you?"
He was rarely in the mood to joke with her and a dog.
Then, he looked at her encouragingly, emphasized his tone, and said, "Qianqian, don't be afraid, trust me, go over and give her a hug."
Facing Shi Jing's gentle and encouraging eyes, Qian Qianqian didn't know where she got the courage, and nodded to Shi Jing, "Okay."
Then, he took a deep breath and slowly stretched out his hands to little Teddy.
When his hand first came into contact with Teddy's hair, he wanted to retract it reflexively, but when he heard Shi Jing's voice coming from his ear, he stretched it out again.
"Don't be afraid."
"Um."
Nodding, she boldly held Teddy in her hands. At first, her whole body was still stiff, and her hands holding Teddy were still trembling slightly, and she was even sweating coldly.
But such progress is already a good performance for someone like Qian Qianqian, who has severe dog phobia.
The little teddy seemed to be very considerate of her, as if he knew she was afraid. When Qian Qianqian held it, it remained obedient and motionless, and the cat nuzzled docilely in her arms.
Qian Qianqian's nervous heart gradually began to calm down. She never thought that one day she would have the courage to hold a dog like this without screaming or even fainting from fear.
With a bit of joy in her eyes, she smiled and turned to look at Shi Jing, and saw Shi Jing smiling at her with some admiration.
