Xie Jinbai pressed his lips together. "Don't cry. I'll leave."
He was most afraid of her crying.
The resolve he had just hardened instantly crumbled.
He just wanted to hold her.
Xie Jinbai reached out, wrapped his arm around the girl's waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
This was the one thing he had been dying to do ever since they met tonight.
His wish was finally granted. Fearing she would push him away again, he didn't dare hold her too tightly, trying his best to relax his grip.
But because he was holding back so much, the muscles in his arms were tensed and taut.
"Yaoyao..." Xie Jinbai gently nuzzled the top of her head. His voice softened. "Could you be a little more patient with me? Please?"
'Don't look so disgusted after we've barely exchanged a few words.'
He couldn't stand it.
Any misunderstanding could be explained, but it was her attitude that hurt the most.
Cui Lingyao didn't hear his vulnerable plea at all.
