You're All I Have

Boom —

Something exploded in his head. Sheng Yize could hear his own voice trembling. "What do you remember?"

An Xiaxia kept crying. She remembered it all.

Everything. The good, the bad, the bright bits, and the dark bits. However, she didn't dare believe any of them, nor did she want to.

An Xiaxia wrapped her arms around Sheng Yize's neck with all her strength; big drops of tears wet Sheng Yize's shirt.

Sheng Yize patted her on the back. Despite the throbbing pain in his chest, he didn't press her, but only consoled her in a low voice.

After what seemed like forever, An Xiaxia exhausted herself crying and dozed off in his arms. He then carried her in both arms back to the lounge.

Grandma Sheng went up to him and said apologetically, "Sorry… I really didn't know Xiaxia's afraid of cats… Is she alright?"
