"Okay, I won't leave. I'll stay with you, always stay with you... Xiaoqing, don't be afraid. Aliang is here... It's okay, it's all over..."
After a while, Chu Xinqing finally stopped crying, but she was still trembling slightly.
Feeling her emotions stabilizing a bit, Qiao Liang reached out to support her and asked cautiously, "Listen to brother, take your medicine first, then eat something, okay?"
Chu Xinqing sniffed, "I... I want you to feed me!"
"Okay." Qiao Liang smiled in response, "Then let go of me."
As he spoke, he reached out to hold her hand, "Slowly, be careful not to pull the needle, come on, let me get the pillow, okay... lean on it."
Settling her against the headboard, he got up to leave, but felt the weight on his shirt. Looking down, he saw her unbandaged fingers still clutching tightly to the hem of his shirt.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just getting your medicine."
