She sat up, startled, and snapped on the light, listening, until she realized that the whimper was not her imagination, that it had not come from outside her window, but from outside.

She was inexplicably terrified.

Thinking about the ferocious quarters he had seen online, and the tragic photos of the people who lived there, Xia Zhi was no longer sleepy. He quickly got off the bed and walked towards the door.

Xia Zhi was startled, she could not believe her eyes.

Pei Yaochen cried?

How is this possible?

Could it be that he also had something on his mind?

But someone like him, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, who was proud of everything, how could he feel sad? Who else had the ability to harm such a domineering and arrogant him?

No matter how he looked at it, he should be the one to hurt others!

Xia Zhi couldn't figure it out, and suspected that she had misheard. She reached out to his right eye and stopped, unable to believe it even when her fingertip had dripped with a burning teardrop, then stuck it under her eyes to look again and again, and finally put it into her mouth to taste. Only when that salty and bitter taste came from her tongue that was incomparably clear, did she finally completely believe that he was really crying, crying quietly in her dreams.

Clearly, in his arrogant and cold shell, there was a fragile and sentimental soul.

But who could it be? What could it be? A seven-foot-tall man was quietly weeping in his dreams.

Xia Zhi was full of questions, but even more so, her heart ached. She let out a soft sigh, and took out a tissue from the box on the table to wipe his tears, then gently whispered in his ear, "Don't be sad, it's all just a dream. "When you wake up from the dream, everything will be …"

Before she even finished speaking, Pei Yaochen had suddenly grabbed her hands and pressed them against his face. Like a weak and obedient cat, he rubbed her face vigorously, causing Xia Zhi's hands to be filled with tears.

Finally, he even wrapped his arms around her waist tightly and buried his face in her bosom. He whispered through sobs, "Since you've come, don't go anymore …"

Although Xia Zhi felt uncomfortable all over, she still could not bear to push him away. She kept on patting him on the back, hoping that her insignificant action would be able to give him some comfort in her nightmare.

As time passed, he gradually calmed down under her comforting.

Seeing that his expression was already calm, Xia Zhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She reached out her hand to lightly wipe the remaining tears on his face, and said in a low voice: "So you also have a weak side to him, you have buried yourself really deeply. You shouldn't be like this. Sometimes, if you show your vulnerability properly and let others help you, your life will be a lot easier. For example, I never accept alms from others, but at the right time, I will not refuse help from others. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to live to this day. Hopefully, one day, you will be able to find the person that can open your heart to others. Sleep well! Don't hide in your dreams and cry anymore, be good. "

She hugged him once more before taking his hand off her waist. Just as she was about to leave, his hand came back and wrapped around her. This time, he even used a lot of strength.

She couldn't stand properly and fell on top of him. Just as she was about to get up in fear, he turned around and pressed her beneath him. He whispered miserably in her ear, "Don't go! "Stay with me!"

This voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, causing Xia Zhi's heart to soften in an instant. Her body also softened as she raised and lowered his hand, and after repeating this a few times, it finally landed gently on his waist.

Looking at his handsome face that became content and peaceful, she couldn't help but sigh, "You saved me in the past, so it's my turn to protect you tonight! "Good night."

When Pei Yaochen woke up, he found that Xia Zhi was lying face to face with him.

He started, instinctively tried to push her out of bed, but his hand went out and landed lightly on her face.
