He extended his hand, his long fingers gliding across her cheek and finally stopping at her nose tip, gently pinching it.
"I don't like you looking at me with that expression. I would never hurt you."
"..."
Meimei's body trembled, as if something was stirring in her heart, speaking of a deep emotion she had once ignored...
Meimei's crystalline eyes slowly filled with mist, her petite body suddenly leaning closer to him, throwing herself into his arms, reaching out to wrap her arms around his strong waist.
"I know Tingye would never hurt me, but I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself. I've grown up now, I even have a dad, and no one dares to bully me anymore. I can protect myself."
Meimei tightened her hold on his arm wordlessly, as if afraid Dan Tingye would push her away.
"..."
Dan Tingye's eyes moved slightly, naturally reaching out to hold her, somewhat surprised that she would take the initiative to hug him.
If her embrace wasn't so much like comfort, he would be happier.
