Xia Qingqian's heart jolted. From the sorrow overflowing in his eyes, she knew he was in a terrible mood right now. She slowly reached out her arms, wrapped them around his lean waist, letting his whole body collapse onto her. "Yao, as long as you need me, I will always stay by your side!"
His hands clamped tightly around her slender waist, his head buried in the crook of her neck as he gently breathed in her fresh fragrance. He realized that only when he was by her side could he find himself again.
"Qian Qian, I won't allow you to step out of my line of sight. If you dare to leave me, I'll make you pay a heavy price." Beitang Yao said in a low voice, his hands tightening again. "Qian Qian, in this life, the thing I hate most is betrayal."
"Mm, I know. Yao, don't worry. As long as you don't drive me away, I won't leave." Xia Qingqian's heart gave a slight, trembling flutter. She softly comforted the seemingly wounded Beitang Yao.
