Bai Liyue was overcome with a feeling of heartache as she gazed upon Qin Yufeng's shattered expression. His countenance was wrought with fear and panic, almost as if he feared that she would vanish into thin air and never return.
With a gentle voice, she called out his name and reached out to touch his cheek. "Qin Yufeng, I will never leave you," she reassured him.
"Promise?" he asked, his voice laced with a hint of desperation.
Without hesitation, Bai Liyue nodded, offering him a comforting smile. "Promise."
He clung to her tightly as if he was trying to rub her into his very being. She hugged him back, patting his back to provide a sense of solace and to calm his anxiety and fear. However, she was oblivious to the ominous look that briefly flickered across his face.
