Though she spoke tenderly, her words were hurtful.
Duan Xingzhi held her hand tighter, his voice a bit hoarse, "Do you know, if I could, I'd really want to lock you in the house, not let you go anywhere, just stay by my side."
Such words made Bai Zhi uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do, she could only endure the discomfort.
"There are some things you may never understand, but I also ask you to understand me, forgive me, let me go, okay?"
"If I let you go, who will let me go? Xiao Bai, you are torturing me now, do you know that?" He pulled her into his embrace, "Don't leave me, tell me what's on your mind, let's solve it together, okay?"
Bai Zhi closed her eyes slightly, hugged his waist, but the word 'okay' stuck at the tip of her tongue and couldn't be spoken.
However, to Duan Xingzhi, her silence seemed like acquiescence; even though she hadn't verbally agreed, such a response was good enough for him.
