For several minutes of talking, he listened quietly on the other end. Her shallow breathing rose and fell slightly as she told about Su Lianlian's injury.
At first her tone was calm and gentle, but later, even she herself noticed a tremor that could not be concealed.
Disaster seemed to have struck again.
The tutu, soaked in bright red blood, was swaying in front of her eyes.
The heartbreaking cry, Su Lianlian's pale and beautiful face, the ambulance whizzing past...
"Xiaoxue...Xiaoxue?" His gentle and firm call came to my ears...
She struggled to break free from the illusion, panted slightly, and called him: "Plateau..."
Then he softly said into the microphone: "I'm afraid..."
Plateau, I'm afraid.
I'm really scared.
Afraid of losing your best friend, afraid of losing your grandpa, afraid of losing.... your news...
Can you understand me?
plateau.
How much do you need to rely on him to be willing to open your heart and confide your inner fears to him?
Because she has never been a weak person, but she lost control of her emotions in front of him time and time again.
He did not respond to her immediately, but remained silent for a while, as if he was thinking, more like he was organizing what he should say to her at her age.
Finally, he called her, "Xiaoxue." Just like she had called him Gaoyuan just now, there was a slight pause in the middle, and then he said softly: "I'm not afraid."
Xiaoxue, don't be afraid...
These four simple words instantly touched the softest and most vulnerable part of Gong Xue's heart.
At that moment, the raging wave of longing suddenly overflowed. Listening to his voice and feeling his breathing, there was still a kind of soreness that pierced the nasal cavity and suddenly surged into the throat.
The extreme emotional outburst turned out to be like this...such pain...
"Xiaoxue, I'm here, don't be afraid...Are you crying? Stop crying, it doesn't look pretty when you cry...Xiaoxue, talk to uncle, Xiaoxue?" He was obviously unsure about the little girl thousands of kilometers away.
Already..
He has never coaxed an older girl, only one or two older girls. He follows the same method of coaxing older girls. For him, a special officer who has just been rewarded for meritorious service and promoted to lieutenant, it is simply a chore.
..
I have no experience at all...
In desperation, he could only remain silent, listen to Xiaoxue's wheezing cries, and accompany her with her grievances, fear, and sadness...
Finally, she stopped crying.
He asked him with a thick nasal voice: "Are you still there?"
Yes, of course!
Fortunately, there were few people on the phone today in the team, so he could listen to the cry of a girl after waiting for so long.
Crying happily to vent the pent-up anger in her chest made Gong Xue suddenly feel like she was alive again.
Hearing his sonorous reply, she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips and her face became slightly hot.
I feel ashamed for her childish behavior and apologize.
"I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions well and made you worry..."
"Thank you for staying with me."
From the moment she started crying, Gao Yuan's heart as hard as steel became soft and painful. He hated that he couldn't be by her side to comfort and enlighten her, but remained shamefully silent when she was sad and helpless.
Apart from a few pale words, he couldn't do anything useful.
Xiaoxue became strong again, and he could feel it. Xiaoxue said thank you, but he was not worthy of accepting it.
"What can I do to make Xiaoxue happy?" He was sincere.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, looked at the little red flowers on her pajamas, and mustered up the courage to say, "Call me again tomorrow night, okay?"
