She was wearing a long white dress and long straight black hair, but the way she was curled up on the floor made him feel so lonely and thin.
Shen Yichen closed the door, walked towards her, squatted down in front of her, and stretched out his hands. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Lei Qiqi has always been lively and laughing. How had she ever been so helpless?
His hand finally fell on her hair and stroked it gently.
"Qiqi, don't be afraid, I'm still here." He whispered, his words gentle, just like when he was a child, he could always comfort her.
"Uncle Shen——wu——"
She raised her head, finally burst into tears, and threw herself into his arms desperately. She rarely cried. When her parents had an accident, she was so frightened. When her grandma left, she couldn't bear such a change at all. He became taciturn.
Especially since there was no trace of her sadness on the surface, the news that she was the nemesis spread and attracted even more attention.
But until this time, when she heard Shen Yichen say that he was still there, she could no longer bear the panic and heartache that she had felt for many days, and she broke out.
Shen Yichen heard her nanny mention that this girl was in a very bad condition. She didn't eat very much every day, and she was alone in the room with no ventilation, and didn't talk to anyone. She was almost autistic.
He was holding her shoulders now and could feel how much weight she had lost.
"Be good, don't be afraid."
"Mom, dad... they-" She cried so hard that she didn't know how to express the fear in her heart.
After all, she was still young and lost all her relatives in an instant.
Shen Yichen could only comfort her, making everything better as he did when he was a child, "Mom and dad just went to heaven, and they will watch Qiqi in heaven, so you should live a good life and grow up healthily."
He didn't know whether his comfort was of any use.
After all, Qiqi was no longer a child of several years old. She only cried and didn't reply to him.
She was buried in his arms, sobbing and talking about her feelings. Shen Yichen kept his voice as soft as possible, comforting her and enlightening her, and she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.
It was already early autumn, and the evening was not hot anymore. She had been sitting on the floor for who knows how long, wearing a thin skirt, and her arms were cold.
Shen Yichen frowned, carefully picked her up and walked to the bed.
Her sleep was not stable at all. As soon as he put her down, she woke up immediately. She opened her panicked eyes, which were a little red and swollen with tears. She looked at him almost timidly, "Little Uncle Shen." …”
"Be good, I'll get a towel to wipe your face."
"Will you leave?"
She was worried and just grabbed his hand. Compared with before, the boy's hand had become bigger and warmer. It had the joints of a mature man, but it was still very beautiful.
It can be said that Lei Qiqi regarded him as a family member, but her family members all left one by one.
"No." Shen Yichen answered her.
But she still didn't dare to let him go, "Will you go back to the United States?"
She knew that over the years, where was his business and where was the focus of his life? This little uncle was far away from her.
The way Shen Yichen looked at her, a trace of pain emerged in his heart. He finally sighed and reached out to touch her hair, "No." Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, he added: "Go to sleep, where can I be?" I won’t go either, Qiqi will definitely see me when she opens her eyes.”
