"Can you hold me for a little while?"
When Gu Xiangzhu heard this, she could hardly believe her ears.
'Did I hear him right?'
'He's asking me to hold him?'
'How dare he?'
In all her years, no man had ever dared to make such a request of her.
The request subconsciously brought back some sensitive memories.
Her feet even seemed to tingle.
'How did he have the nerve!'
Gu Xiangzhu felt a flicker of anger, but when she looked at Zhao Ci's face, all she saw was a helpless young man. His eyes held not a trace of impurity; they even darted away in a panic.
Like an injured puppy, begging a stranger for help.
'Perhaps there aren't many people in this world he feels he can rely on.'
'And I... might be one of them?'
She hesitated, but she quickly realized this was the perfect opportunity to foster a sense of dependence on her in Zhao Ci.
So, she nodded.
"Alright."
"Huh?"
Zhao Ci's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. "Really?"
