Chapter 326 - 330: Stable x Companion (1)
He didn’t know how long had passed until Jian Anning had completely calmed down and fallen asleep. Yet Yu Zexiao was still holding on to her tightly.
For the first time, he found that although the petite assistant seemed tough and old-fashioned, she was actually quite thin. She wasn’t like those supermodels who were left with nothing but a skeleton in the name of dieting. However, the hardships of the past days, the immense pressure on her mind, and his own occasional torment had caused her to lose a considerable amount of weight. Touching her, he only felt a small frame, like that of an abandoned little animal.
On her shoulder, there still lingered the purplish bruises he had pinched out the previous afternoon. On her fair and delicate shoulder, they stood out shockingly.
Not only that, but there was also a faint dark circle under her eyes. Even her delicate brows were tightly furrowed. And her whole body was still holding on to the bed sheets tightly, unwilling to let go, collapsing onto the bed, curled up like in the womb, with slightly furrowed brows, not looking very peaceful.
Her face still bore traces of tears, making her beautiful features seem even more pitiable.
Though she always appeared too serious, her vulnerability now highlighted her utmost purity and irresistibly invoked pity—
Yu Zexiao couldn’t help but lean forward gently and kissed the corner of her eyes lightly, kissing away all her tears. The tears tasted a bit salty, like pearls from the sea.
If this had been the past, he would have never done something like this—he had always thought he was very formidable, and the people around him were disgustingly dirty. Even considering his Virgo-esque obsession with cleanliness, kissing her and tasting the tears on her face was something unthinkable!
