Forty-two Ji Pianran's knots in his heart were untied_1

Ji Pianran lay in Gu Chen's arms, her just-stopped tears shamefully starting to flow again.

So, he understood her suffering.

He could empathize with her struggles.

He said, "There's a lot of time ahead, we must walk through it slowly together!"

He said he wanted to give their home a hope!

She had waited far too long for these words, so long that she didn't even know what she was lingering for anymore.

But just now, Gu Chen, word by word, spoke with utmost sincerity.

Only then did she suddenly realize that the flame in her heart was still alive.

Her tears broke through like a dam, aggressive and unstoppable.

As if to wash away the years of grievances and resentments.

Gu Chen let her cry.

He knew, she had been holding it in for far too long.

Crying it out, perhaps would make her feel better.

All he did was gently pat Ji Pianran's back, comforting her like a child who had lost his way.

After a while, her crying gradually subsided, and her mood began to calm down.
