The heart that had risen to Lin Zhenxin's throat fell back, but Li Yanan's action of turning around and walking back made her tense her body once more.
"Have you... ever encountered sothing bad in the past?"
Li Yanan pondered repeatedly before asking.
Lin Zhenxin abruptly looked up, seeing his expression, she knew he had misunderstood sothing.
Did he think that she had been...
Lin Zhenxin was about to shake her head, but saw Li Yanan sit down in front of her again and, through the thin quilt, pull her back into his arms.
The original cold breath on Li Yanan dissipated, the pine sll turned into another woody fragrance, firm yet reassuring.
"Don't be afraid."
Lin Zhenxin buried her head in his arms, inhaling the masculine scent, and suddenly heard this sentence by her ear.
Just two simple words, but they made Lin Zhenxin's nose and eyes sting.
"It's not... what you think..." These words made it a bit difficult for Lin Zhenxin to say, but she didn't want Li Yanan to misunderstand.
Her hand erged from the edge of the quilt and clutched the collar of his shirt, her voice buzzing.
"I..." She stamred for a long ti, unable to speak.
Li Yanan didn't urge her either, reaching out to gently rub the scars on her back, comforting her like soothing a child.
"I once caught my... dad doing... sothing with another woman..."
"A woman other than my mom." She added afterward.
The feeling of disgust was even stronger than when she saw the scars on her own back.
Li Yanan's action paused, finally understanding where her emotional knot stemd from; encountering such an experience when young would inevitably leave a shadow.
He released her and stood up.
Suddenly being pulled away from Li Yanan's embrace, Lin Zhenxin felt a piece of her heart empty.
But she saw Li Yanan turn around to the wardrobe, picking out a light blue shirt for her, which was her favorite color.
The thin quilt was moved aside, and her snow-white body imdiately t Li Yanan's eyes.
Saying he wasn't moved would be a lie, but Li Yanan was no brute and didn't just think of that kind of thing.
He dressed Lin Zhenxin in the shirt, buttoning each one for her, not letting her lift a finger throughout the process.
When everything was done, Li Yanan reached out to smooth Lin Zhenxin's hair by her temples, his thin lips curving up.
"Take your ti, I'm not in a hurry." He didn't want to put too much pressure on her.
"Li Yanan..." Lin Zhenxin reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes, feeling a bit sorry in her heart.
"Li is not my original surna. Actually, I really dislike this character. If you truly feel sorry for , then stop using it from now on."
Li Yanan's gaze was deep; Li wasn't originally his surna, but after entering the Li Family, Li Yingying helped change it.
The purpose was rely to humiliate him.
Lin Zhenxin knew sowhat about his background, so hearing Li Yanan say this, she felt very distressed for him.
She was there the last ti she went to the Li Family, and she saw very clearly how the Li Family treated Li Yanan.
"Yanan..." Her voice was very small, but Li Yanan heard it clearly.
Suddenly he laughed, laughing with extraordinary joy, and seeing him like this, the gloom in Lin Zhenxin's heart dissipated by more than half.
She then laughed out loud...
When Lin Zhenxin followed Li Yanan out of the room, Aunt Xu's knowing look made her feel a bit embarrassed.
Grandma brought candied haws to her lips, the sugar-coated red fruit glistening, tempting her appetite.
Li Yanan hadn't eaten yet, so Aunt Xu went to the kitchen to cook him a bowl of noodles. After eating two of the red fruits, Lin Zhenxin was a bit hungry too. She took a small bowl for herself and stood next to Li Yanan, simply watching him without speaking.
Before long, Li Yanan reached out and took it, scooping so for her, and the two sat facing each other, eating.
