"Shaoting, wait."
Lu Shaoting stopped what he was doing and looked at her. Seeing that she was getting uncomfortable, he untied her hands and hugged her. Though he wondered, why was it that she looked like she had been reminded of something unpleasant? He didn't ask her. He only kissed her forehead and coaxed her, holding her in his arms like a delicate treasure. "I'm sorry."
"Don't blame yourself. I'm alright."
Just like that, he let her fall asleep in her arms, but he had a manly problem to solve.
