"Are you thirsty? Drink some water."

Perhaps when Xin Yue woke up, the man picked up a glass of water on the table next to the bed.

Xin Yue stared at the water intently, her originally bright black eyes tightened inadvertently, her whole body began to tremble, and her originally bloodless skin became paler and thinner, like paper.

"ah!"

Xin Yue raised his hand and dropped the water glass to the ground with a bang.

"Are you okay..." The man approached Xin Yue nervously, but the frightened woman grabbed his clothes and threw herself into his arms. Her whole body was trembling, but she held the man so tightly.

Tight, as if grasping some life-saving straw.

The man was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. He stretched out his hand, took the woman into his arms as he had done many times before, and patted her back gently and comfortingly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."

His voice was very familiar, but Xin Yue, who was in a state of uneasiness, did not raise her head. His gentle and low voice gradually calmed her down. She hugged him tightly like a wounded little animal, with silent tears.

The water flowed down, wetting her face and the clothes on his chest.

Not sure if it was the sound that made Xin Yue react belatedly, or the man's unique smell that made her understand. Xin Yue was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head.

His eyes were long and narrow, like stars, his nose was high and his lips were pursed tightly. His face was as handsome and charming as before, and his temperament was still as aloof and cold, but he seemed a little more calm and a little less sharp.

"Is it you?" Xin Yue's emotions surged into her heart in an instant. Her eyes were wavering as she looked at the man sitting in front of her.

"Well, it's me." Chu Zhiling's eyes were like stars, his thin lips parted slightly, and he said.

The girl's chin was thinner than before, and her eyes were bright and clear, washed by tears. She bit her lips tightly, like a fragile porcelain doll.

Chu Zhiling reached out, grabbed her sleeves, and gently wiped the tears on her cheeks.

As for her, tears welled up in her bright eyes and rolled down her cheeks, like broken pearls.

Chu Zhiling was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face again, but before he could touch her cheek, a warm body rushed into his arms. She was as stubborn as before

He grabbed the clothes around her waist, but could no longer suppress his cries.

She whimpered and buried her head in his chest, like a fragile child.

"I was so scared...I thought I was going to die..."

Chu Zhiling's hand stroked her brocade-like long hair, and his voice was very low, as if he was afraid of scaring the shrinking girl: "No, as long as I'm here, you won't die."

As time passed, the woman in Chu Zhiling's arms gradually became silent. Chu Zhiling was shocked to check her face and found that her eyes were closed. He stretched out his hand and found that her breathing was even and not very weak.

Go to sleep.

Chu Zhiling smiled lightly and placed Xin Yue on the bed.

But before the hand pad on her waist could be released, her eyes slowly opened. She knelt and sat up, stretched out her hands to wrap around Chu Zhiling's neck, rested her chin on his shoulder, and said weakly

: "Don't leave."

Chu Zhiling was about to speak when the girl's cold cheek moved closer to his. At this moment, she was like a confused and uncertain child who just wanted to find a trace of warmth in the silence of the rest of her life. She held her tightly

She hugged his shoulders, lowered her head gradually, and buried it in the crook of his neck. She coughed and said pleadingly: "Don't go, I'm afraid."

Chu Zhiling doesn't know that this is the sequelae of her fear, so now she is pestering him and clinging to him, but as strong as she is, the symptoms will ease soon, she will wake up, realize her situation, and want to help

The person who abused her will remember everything he and she have experienced, and then, after a brief wavering, she will leave him without hesitation.

She is also weak, and she is also proud.

All Chu Zhiling could do was to carefully protect her weakness, and then watch her leave again without looking back.

To Chu Zhiling's surprise, two days later, Xin Yue's eyes were no longer as distracted as before. She was back to her usual lazy and cold self, but she was not as wary and repulsive towards him as he had imagined.

It was night, and the moonlight passed through the wandering clouds and flowed through the center of the courtyard like flowing water, making the whole place bright and clear.

Chu Zhiling was standing by the window. There was a grape trellis in the middle of the courtyard. It was not in season yet, so only a few leaves grew sporadically.

Chu Zhiling's eyes became more and more blurry. Through the misty light, she seemed to be able to see the light and shadow years under the grape trellis many years ago. At that time, all the hurt had not yet begun, and all the pain had not yet begun. She stood there

Under the grape trellis of Tazawa's house, he put a thick black coat on him and gently said something to him not to be angry.

At that time, her eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, and when she smiled, her snow-white skin was as clean and flawless as ice jade.

If, Chu Zhiling thought, he could have understood earlier, could have let go of the obsessive-compulsive obsession in his heart earlier, could have understood earlier that she was a person and not a pet that needed to be restrained, if only, he and

She wouldn't be like this now, would she?

If the palm of fate could smooth out all the roughness at that time, then all the subsequent injuries and all the confrontations might not have happened. If at that time, they could have given birth to a child,

Then she would not have escaped, then she would not have known Yan Zhan, then she would not have formed a friendship with him, and she would not have chosen to commit suicide in order to defend what he cared about.

Even though she saved a life, her heart was seriously injured and she no longer has such strong skills. Not to mention the one against a hundred like before, she couldn't even do simple self-protection, and she was even weaker than an ordinary woman.

, but also lacks the strength to restrain a chicken.

He knew all about her hardships these past six months.

"Ahem."

At this time, a soft cough came from the bed behind Chu Zhiling.

Chu Zhiling turned around and walked forward. He shook his head, stretched out his hand and put it under Xin Yue's neck, and gently turned her body to the left side where she was sleeping.

At this moment, Xin Yue opened his eyes in confusion.

Her eyes seemed to be surrounded by a layer of mist. She grabbed Chu Zhiling's sleeve, licked her lips, and said, "Chu Zhiling, I'm thirsty."

Since Xin Yue grabbed one of his sleeves and Chu Zhiling could not move one hand, he stretched out his other hand, opened a teacup on the table with one hand, picked up the teapot, and poured the tea in.

"But, I don't want to drink water." Xin Yue frowned slightly, looking at Chu Zhiling raising her eyebrows while holding the tea cup, her voice was timid.

"Actually, I think I drank enough water, but I feel thirsty again. What's going on?" Xin Yue muttered softly.

Of course Chu Zhiling knew what was going on. Of course he would be thirsty after not drinking water for a long time. He felt that he had drunk enough water because he was drowning in water. Chu Zhiling picked up the tea cup and took a sip himself, then lowered his head and kissed it.
