Shy Child

Wu Xiaonian replied, "I'm apologizing for my actions. Your sister is right. You're still a child. You may be smart, but there are things you won't understand until you're an adult. I'm sure you think I've treated you unjustly. That's why I'm apologizing to you."

Song Yujin lowered his eyes and said calmly, "It's alright."

Wu Xiaonian asked, "Will you forgive me?"

"I have never blamed you."

Song Yujin's tone had a hint of innocence. After all, he rarely felt strongly about anything. Since he did not care, there were no grudges either. 

Wu Xiaonian felt a little uncomfortable. She did not know if Song Yujin could not be bothered with her or if he was saying those words out of respect. 

Anyway, Wu Xiaonian apologized again in a low voice.

"I'm sorry."

Song Yujin did not mind at all. He was used to such situations. 

"Thank you for protecting me today."
