Uncle's final words, that no matter how much she struggled, he would never let go, sent a shiver through Xia Yinian's heart.
Today, he asked her to give him a little more time; what did that mean?
Her mind was a mess, knowing that she shouldn't have any more expectations for this man, yet she couldn't help but think about him.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yinian closed her eyes and tried to focus her thoughts back on her book.
Because if she continued to think, she couldn't help but expect, and the repeated disappointments were nearly driving her mad.
The girl who kept forcing herself not to think couldn't even recall a single word from the medicine book in her mind.
Breathing in the air tinged with Uncle's unique body scent and feeling the strength of his heartbeat, how could she possibly remember anything else?
She didn't know how long it had been, but the restless girl's breathing had slowly become steady.
