She closed her eyes, seemingly asking him for help in her dreams.
Her small hand tightly grasped his shirt collar, her whole body curled up, constantly murmuring.
This helpless version of her was something Xing Chen had never seen before…
The impression of that carefree, never-defeated strong girl seemed completely shattered.
It was clear that before he arrived, Gu Beichuan had done something utterly beastly to her!
Looking at the scar at the corner of her eye, Xing Chen's heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, squeezing harder and harder…
The pain was so intense he could hardly breathe.
He didn't know when it started, but she seemed to have blended into his very bones.
Any tiny fluctuation would cause such pain that it was unbearable!!
He held her in his arms, his voice almost choking, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, right beside you..."
Perhaps hearing Xing Chen's murmuring, Ran Xiangsi's body finally stopped trembling.
