She put her face into Huo Yusen’s chest, and tears of horror came out of her eyes and slowly wetted his shirt.
She always thought she had put the wire incident of her past life behind her. But in reality, she had never forgotten about it. It was just that she had buried that memory deep within her mind.
But once she encountered a similar event, the feeling of horror would emerge.
In truth, the incident only occurred for a few seconds.
But within those seconds, there were so many thoughts that appeared in her mind.
One side of her thought that it would be no big deal if she fell this time. But the other side of her was truly scared of it due to the scar from the incident from her past life.
While falling, she imagined Huo Yusen saving her from the incident, but she knew that it wouldn’t happen because he was in the study at the time. She brainstormed several possibilities that would happen to her after she fell, but what just happened was definitely not in her list of possibilities: her falling safely into the arms of Huo Yusen.
The warmth of her tears seemed to pass through the thin sweater and transferred all the emotions through to Huo Yusen. He didn’t say anything and only patted Huo Wu’s back to comfort her.
Seeing what just happened, Chu Xueyi didn’t have a good look on her face as well.
If it weren’t for her directions, Huo Wu wouldn’t have moved towards the left, the stool wouldn’t have fallen, and Huo Wu wouldn’t have gone through all this horror.
Chu Xueyi carefully walked up to Huo Wu, and said apologetically, “Sorry, Ah Wu. I didn’t give you the right directions.”
Huo Wu raised her head and wiped her tears. “Sister Xueyi, it’s not your fault. I was not being careful enough.”
“No, I gave you the wrong directions.”
“No, it was me not paying enough attention.”
For this incident, you can’t really say whose fault it is.
It really was an accident.
And because of what happened to Huo Wu, many family members came over to ask if Huo Wu was ok.
However, Huo Yusen ignored them and asked Huo Wu, “Are you still scared?”
Huo Wu sobbed and nodded her head hard. “Yes.”
Although she was only ninety-something jin, Huo Yusen would still feel tired from this weight after holding onto her for too long. As a result, Huo Wu nicely gestured to him to put her back onto the floor.
Once Huo Wu got on the floor, Huo Wu held onto Huo Yusen’s left hand and locked their hands together.
Huo Wu blinked and said, “I won’t be scared if big brother holds on to my hands.”
There was a certain degree of reliance from Huo Yusen that could be seen reflected from the look in Huo Wu’s eyes.
“Okay.”
Seeing their intertwined fingers, the thought that she could never go into the sibling’s world rose in Chu Xueyi’s mind.
She looked at Huo Yusen who was standing far away from her as if he was a stranger.
This thought was extremely strong.
When she was young, she followed him around for almost ten years. But no matter if it were the Huo Yusen before he turned 12, who was cheerful and outgoing, or the Huo Yusen after he turned 12, who was cold and indifferent, Huo Yusen had never reciprocated her feelings.
It was as if he had nothing to do with gentleness, always carrying around him an aura of aloofness and distance.
But when she was young, she had always dreamed of pulling a man like him away from that aura.
She wanted him to be more human-like and have more emotions. And she wanted her to be the reason that he changed.
In this world, she had no immunity towards Huo Yusen and only Huo Yusen. Didn’t matter if it were him in the past, or him as how he was now, she couldn’t resist his attractiveness, and she didn’t want to resist either.
