"Are you scared?" Qi Cheng looked into her eyes and didn't miss the flash of worry that had just crossed them.
"Scared of what?"
"Scared I'll be the same as before?"
"You won't be?"
Qi Cheng really wanted to say he wouldn't.
But he held back.
A man repeatedly using words to prove himself only proves his failure.
He let her go. "Go to sleep."
Her distrust made him look very disappointed.
Ji Yunhuan followed him. When they reached the stairs, she said, "Qi Cheng."
"What?" He stopped and looked at her.
Ji Yunhuan looked into his eyes and asked, "I have a sudden request."
"What is it?"
Ji Yunhuan walked over. "Can you carry me downstairs?"
Her request was followed by a moment of silence. Ji Yunhuan also felt she was being abrupt and smiled. "Never mind if you don't want to."
"Of course I do." Qi Cheng walked ahead and squatted down. "Get on!"
Ji Yunhuan nervously lay on his back. He easily lifted her.
