When he saw her falling asleep again, he hugged her tightly again.
Slowly, he closed his eyes and fell asleep with her...
His body was as hot as coals, instantly warming her cold body.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but he felt that the little thing in his arms was getting restless. He opened his eyes and saw her frowning and crying like she was dreaming.
"Dad, Dad, I'm so cold. Xiao Xiao can't stand it anymore. Come and save Xiao Xiao...Dad..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I will protect you, I will give you warmth, Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao..."
Listening to Xiao Xiao's painful voice, Shan Junhao's heart hurt as if it had been cut by a knife. He couldn't help but kissed her forehead deeply again and held her tighter.
"Well..." He tried too hard and hurt her.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what caught her eye was his face that was a little distorted due to worry, but it still couldn't hide his unparalleled handsomeness.
The heating lamp on the bedside shone on the side of his face, and Yi Xiaoxiao seemed not to be fully awake yet.
Why did he appear in her bed again? Could it be that she had another stupid dream?
Seeing her blank eyes, Shan Junhao immediately became nervous, hurriedly let go of his hand, and moved his body backward to avoid touching her body.
He explained eagerly: "I...I didn't mean to offend you, I just felt that your body was too cold and wanted to give you more warmth! My body temperature is relatively...hot..."
Before he could finish speaking, he couldn't continue because she saw two fierce tears suddenly welling up in Yi Xiaoxiao's eyes. The next second, before he understood what was going on, Yi Xiaoxiao put her arms around his waist. , threw herself into his arms, cried uncontrollably and shouted, enough to make Shan Junhao's blood boil: "Brother!"
The sound of brother, like a softener, suddenly penetrated into Shan Junhao's heart, instantly making his heart twist and turn, and his eyes filled with hot and humid mist.
He didn't expect that hearing her call "brother" again after so many years would make him so excited. Moreover, when she was at her most unbearable and sad, his heart suddenly had mixed feelings, including sweetness and sourness!
She lay on his chest, refusing to raise her head, and the tears she shed silently soaked his shirt.
She was like a lonely boat drifting in the ocean that finally found a temporary dock and didn't want to let go.
After a while, as if she was tired of crying, she slowly raised her head and said with a choked voice: "Thank you!"
"Don't be polite to me, I do it all willingly!"
He looked at her with eyes as gentle as water, and even the light radiating from her eyes seemed to have a softening effect, making Yi Xiaoxiao feel soft and warm in her heart.
But she didn't understand why he was so kind to her. Did he really regard her as his sister? She couldn't believe it.
After hesitating for a while, she finally plucked up the courage and asked the doubts in her heart: "Shan Junhao... why are you... so nice to me?"
Shan Junhao's eyes flashed, and he was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at her with a burning gaze, which made Yi Xiaoxiao want to avoid her, and her palms became sweaty.
"If I say I like you, will you believe it? Will you accept it?"
He asked carefully, walking on thin ice, the king of the shopping mall, but even his voice was trembling at this moment.
Only he himself knows how excited and panicked he must be to be able to say such words.
He was excited not because he was not calm enough or full of expectations, but...
He was too worried, worried that such words would make her immediately close her heart.
