"You know you look ugly when you cry, so you hide here alone?"
His tone was a bit teasing, but his voice was still very soft. He gently teased her hair with his fingertips and comforted her softly.
The person in his arms didn't speak, but his body was shaking even more than before.
"Qian Qianqian, cry quickly while I don't want to laugh at you."
He pretended to be stiff and spoke to the person in his arms, and his arms holding her body became a little stronger at this time.
"Woo~~~~"
To his relief, the person in his arms finally made a sound, and the crying gradually grew louder in his arms.
"Mirror of Time."
She wrapped her hands around the waist of the mirror in fear, trying to find a fulcrum for her panic.
"Silly woman, I'm here, don't hold it in, just tell me if you're scared."
He frowned, but still gently patted her trembling back with his hand, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"I'm really scared, Shi Jing...I'm really scared..."
She buried her face in Shi Jing's arms, her voice became louder and louder, and her hands around his waist tightened more and more.
"Well, I know you're scared. Everyone is scared. I've been scared too, so... don't hold it back. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Just say it, okay?"
He gently stroked her soft hair and spoke to the person in his arms with tenderness he had never experienced before.
"The hospital... The dean is my only relative. My parents left me. I'm afraid that the dean will leave me like them. I'm afraid of being alone. I don't want to be alone anymore.
．Shi Jing, do you understand?
She rubbed her head into Shi Jing's arms, trying to reduce the panic in her heart.
"I dare not think about if the dean leaves me, who else can accompany me, and who can listen to my concerns, Shi Jing... In the past twenty years, only the dean has been by my side to take care of me.
．
．
Tears wet her cheeks. She told Shi Jing all the panic in her heart, and her face was buried deeper in Shi Jing's chest.
Shi Jing was so distressed by what she said that her chest clenched, and she felt distressed like crazy.
He had never heard Qian Qianqian say such words before. She always pretended to be happy in front of him and in front of anyone, pretending so hard that everyone thought she was heartless.
In fact, she also has worries, many, many worries. Sometimes these worries are insignificant, but sometimes they can completely defeat her.
Holding her tightly in his arms, he frowned in distress and comforted her softly: "I understand, I understand, it's really uncomfortable to be alone."
Twenty years ago, like her, he had lost both his parents and had no one around him except a bunch of servants.
No one will understand that heart-wrenching feeling of loneliness and fear, as if the whole world is pressing down on you. Only by pretending to be invincible can you bury the deepest fear in your heart.
Qian Qian is the same type of person as him. He is used to pretending. After getting used to it, he can't even tell the difference between himself and himself.
"Listen, Qianqian, the dean knows that you are afraid of someone, so he will never abandon you, do you understand?"
