When Li Yuan saw Shen Xi's lonely, forlorn, small, and shrunken figure with tears streaming down her face, he felt his heart clenched. It was unbearably painful that he could not breathe.
The girl bit her lips and looked at him quietly as crystal beads slid down her cheeks. She looked so aggrieved and frightened like she wanted to lament to him.
He had no clue as to how to comfort her or lecture her so she would not risk her life so recklessly again.
Shen Xi was not aware of how heartbroken, scared, and helpless he felt when he found out that she was almost killed.
However, seeing her intact in front of him, all the emotions pent up in his chest instantly dissipated. All that was left was heartache. He was nervous as he went to her and reached out to wipe away her tears.
Shen Xi cried silently. When she felt his slightly cool fingers brushing her skin, she choked up and hugged him suddenly before bawling in his chest.
