Xiong Zhi slowly put down her hand.
She knows the feeling of wanting to get strong. Of wanting to take over your own fears. Of wanting to face them without shaking. If she, who was a 20+ woman in inside shook fear when faced with that beast, what's more of a young boy who experienced fear throughout his whole life?
It would be really hard to overcome this trauma and scars that were left on him. Now Xiong Zhi could not blame Lu Yin Ze anymore for taking his life in the past.
"Then grow strong. I'll keep you company." Xiong Zhi took a step back but she was held by Lu Yin Ze. His hand captured hers. His hand was cold too. Xiong Zhi was surprised by the sudden touch that she flinched and shook it off.
Lu Yin Ze did not let go. His attention was not in her hands. It was on the family picture in front of him.
