"We can let him calm down slowly. Can I try, please let me try?"
"He will hurt you!" Ruan Tianling was not about to let her take the risk.
Jian Yufei said, "He is my dad, he won't hurt me. Let me try, okay? Ruan Tianling, my dad is suffering enough, I don't want him to suffer more."
There was a pained gleam in her eyes.
Ruan Tianling couldn't bear to refuse her.
"Everyone, step back," he instructed the others.
The people holding Xiao Zexin released him. Gaining his freedom, Xiao Zexin immediately retreated a few steps, warily watching them.
Jian Yufei moved slightly forward, "Dad, it's Yufei; do you still recognize me?"
"..."
"Dad, listen to my voice. It's Yufei. You're safe now, nothing's going to happen. No one is going to hurt you. Don't be afraid."
Xiao Zexin continued to look at her coldly, as if looking at an enemy.
Jian Yufei couldn't help but step forward and slowly sat down by the bed.
