The warmth and care he gave her were what Yan Qingsi needed most. With him around, she felt at ease, as if there was finally a solid wall behind the emptiness.
Don't be afraid anymore, you can see the cliffs when you turn around.
…
At the entrance of the cemetery, Youyou saw Yue Tingfeng hugging Yan Qingsi and getting into the car, and then the two of them left. The corners of his lips curled up a little. That young man was not bad at all.
He originally thought that Yan Qingsi would come in his car and how would she go alone, so he hurried down and wanted to take her back.
Unexpectedly, he saw Yue Tingfeng rushing over.
He was also a man, and he could tell that Yue Tingfeng's feelings for Yan Qingsi were real. He was not like his nephew who always treated women as a toy and just treated women as objects.
If Yan Qingsi can find a good home, that should be what her mother wants to see most.
After cruising around, he turned around and went up again. He found her 17 years later. He wanted to spend more time with her.
…
As the car drove back to the city, Yue Tingfeng stopped at a temporary parking space on the roadside and said to Yan Qingsi, "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
Yan Qingsi saw the drugstore on the roadside and knew that he was probably going to buy band-aids, so she nodded: "Go ahead."
Yue Tingfeng went down to buy alcohol band-aids, walked a few dozen meters and bought a box of ice cream at a convenience store, and quickly returned to the car.
He put the ice cream into Yan Qingsi's hand: "Eat some ice cream first to cool down."
Yan Qingsi smiled and said, "I'm not a child. You know I don't like sweets."
Yue Tingfeng raised his head and said seriously: "It's okay, I'll feed you later."
Yan Qingsi was stunned, remembering the last time he fed her, her face turned red.
Yue Tingfeng grabbed her foot and first used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to wipe away the blood and dust on the wound and disinfect it, "Please bear with it, it hurts a bit."
Yan Qingsi opened the lid of the ice cream and said, "It's okay, just do it. It won't hurt at all."
Yue Tingfeng looked up and saw Yan Qingsi taking a mouthful of ice cream with a spoon. She tightened her mouth in disgust. She seemed to be completely unable to feel the pain in her feet.
Yue Tingfeng felt very sad. If it hadn't been for her childhood, she would have been like other little girls. Even if she had a small scratch on her body, she would be in pain and act coquettishly with her parents and boyfriend.
But she...
Yue Tingfeng tore off a band-aid and put it on the wound: "It's really hard for women to wear high heels."
Yan Qingsi took a mouthful of ice cream and said, "When the bubble turns into a cocoon, it won't hurt anymore."
"It won't hurt anymore, but it will be uglier."
"Then what can I do? This world is already harsh on women, so... I can only make myself work harder, otherwise how can I stand in this world?"
"If you can't stand, don't you still have me? I can carry you, so you don't have to stand."
Yan Qingsi took a spoonful of ice cream and was about to put it in her mouth. She stopped when she heard Yue Tingfeng's words. She raised her eyes and met his gaze.
He always said something inadvertently that moved her, and her heart suddenly felt warm.
Yan Qingsi: "Okay..."
She brought the mouthful of melting ice cream to Yue Tingfeng's mouth: "This is your reward."
Yue Tingfeng smiled and said, "It's not easy to get you to feed someone who stutters."
He opened his mouth to swallow, and the next second he pulled Yan Qingsi into his arms.
Vanilla-flavored ice cream slowly melts between lips and teeth...
