Vivian suddenly felt that she could somewhat understand this guy in front of her—why he was so proud and arrogant, dismissive of everyone.
Once, when he was weak and needed support, no one gave him warmth and help. Gradually, he armored himself with layers of hard shells, keeping others at a distance and forbidding anyone from touching him. Then, he slowly got used to disappointment and indifference again and again.
Vivian blinked her round eyes and stared at Ethan for a while. The more she looked, the more he seemed like a little puppy that had been abandoned.
Perhaps Ethan felt uneasy under her gaze, as he couldn't help but frown slightly and lightly cough, saying, "Why are you staring at me like that??"
"Ethan!" Vivian suddenly blurted out his name, then reached out and hugged him tightly, holding him close.
