Her words sent a tremble through his body.
When he opened his mouth to speak again, his voice was raspy and uneven, a mixture of disbelief and a glimr of hope erging from despair, "Really...it wasn’t very terrible? You...you don’t despise ?"
Despise?
Xia Wan’an felt a growing tightness in her chest, her heart hurting as though soone were clutching it, "No, I don’t despise you, why would I despise you? You just had a nightmare, that’s all. There’s nothing to despise about that. Everyone has nightmares, I’ve had them too, I’ve even sleepwalked, so does that an I should be despised too?"
Jingnian’s heart started beating violently, and a slight tremble coursed down the arm he had wrapped around her. "Did I...say a bunch of nonsense just now? Did I...talk about my dad, my mom, and my brother...?"
Although Xia Wan’an couldn’t see Jingnian’s expression, she could feel his anxiety. After a hesitant pause, she softly acknowledged, "Yes... In fact, about those things... your grandma already told ..."
"You already know?" Jingnian’s voice contained a hint of panic: "So... you also know that I..."
Xia Wan’an knew what he was about to say, and gently picked up where he left off: "You an to say, I also know that you were responsible for your father’s death?"
As her words concluded, she felt Jianing’s body tighten intensely. Instinctively, she reached out and patted his back tenderly: "Jingnian... that wasn’t your fault. You did not cause your father’s death. If your father hadn’t acted the way he did, both you and he would have died that day. He did it because he loved you. He gave his life to protect yours, so you must cherish yourself even more. Only in this way can his death not be in vain..."
As Xia Wan’an consoled him, she felt Jingnian’s body gradually relax.
She had spoken so many words, but he remained silent for quite so ti, his embrace, however, noticeably tightening.
After a long while, he finally spoke again: "Do you truly think so? You really don’t bla for my father’s death? You’re not scared that I bring misfortune upon people around , not scared that I might...harm you?"
"No fear!" Without even a mont’s hesitation, Xia Wan’an imdiately replied: "I’m not scared. What era is this? Who still believes those baseless things about jinxes, bringing death to family mbers. All of these are nonsense. Jingnian, don’t believe those people who are spouting gibberish. They are just crazy; we will ignore them!"
The girl’s gentle and graceful voice sounded like heavenly music in Jingnian’s ears.
Listening to her angry words, he was montarily stunned.
She said... "we will ignore them"... ignore those people who, after he had lost one family mber after another, had pointed fingers at him, claiming he was a disaster star that brought death to his family, and that those who get close to him would et a terrible fate...
PS: Writing the part where the female protagonist dotes on the male protagonist makes feel so good!
