I go north, you go south

"But when I really understand this tenacity, I can no longer just accept the warmth you bring as if nothing happened."

Ling Bei rubbed the back of Nan Zishu's hand with the fingers of the hand he was holding with Nan Zishu.It's like soothing, more like engraving a promise: "Your light is like a candle lit in the cold night where you can't see your fingers. Although it is weak, it is warm enough to light up a person who is in deep darkness.

"But these are what you silently burned yourself to share with others. Maybe you didn't realize that you have been silently saving others, but someone has already regained a new life because of you where you didn't notice."

Ling Bei's words struck Nan Zishu's heart with so much importance that she couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a moment: "So, I have long wanted to be more than a person who was redeemed by you."

"Whether it's now or in the future, I always just want to protect you selfishly in the palm of my hand where I can touch you."

Ling Bei's words seemed to be piously swearing to the goddess in his heart, and the solemn tone made people tremble.

Even if Nan Zishu couldn't look directly into Ling Bei's eyes, Nan Zishu could fully appreciate that sincerity.

But she didn't understand why Ling Bei had such complex emotions towards her in such a short period of time, and she didn't know what the "salvation" he was talking about was.

But Nan Zishu's intuition told himself that these words should be describing himself.

like they've known each other for years
"Shu Shu, I have to admit, I really want to have a place in your life."

Ling Bei's suddenly lowered voice made Nan Zishu, who was still thinking just now, stop breathing for a moment.

This kind of tone often makes her inexplicably feel Ling Bei's dangerous and paranoid side.

Nan Zishu's eyes were still covered by Ling Bei's hand, and she couldn't help amplifying the sensitivity of other senses to feel the emotional changes of the people around her.

But when Ling Bei spoke again, he had already bypassed the topic just now without a trace, and that strange emotion had disappeared without a trace.It seemed that everything was just Nan Zishu's illusion.

"Shu Shu, I just want to use my own experience to tell you that you are definitely not as useless as you think. I don't want you to be so self-absorbed all the time. You are much stronger than you imagined.

"I never thought of turning you into an appendage that can only cling to me. My Shushu can't be imprisoned by anyone or anything.

"Including myself."

Ling Bei's voice was extremely gentle, with a hint of persuasion.It also made Nan Zishu, who was blindfolded at this time, more addicted to it: "But your exhaustion and anxiety, I hope you can allow me to bear it with you.

"Shu Shu, I know that you have been walking alone for many years, and I also know that you don't have enough confidence to share the pain with others. And now I can also feel that you have tried to rely on me more.

"But you will still look forward and backward and think whether it is troublesome to me, and whether I will be angry.
"That can only mean that what I have done is not enough; it can only mean that the sense of security I have given you is not enough to make you let go of all your defenses."

Ling Bei leaned down quietly, and placed a kiss on Nan Zishu's eyes through his palm: "Fortunately, there is still a long, long time in the future, so that you can slowly try to rely on me."
