Seeing Shen Xi after many days, Shen Xin's heart instantly filled with grievance, and with a choked voice, she threw herself into Shen Xi's arms, "Brother—brother—I finally found you! I finally found you!" Her slender fingers clutched tightly at the front of Shen Xi's clothing, and crystal-clear tears fell on it, leaving mottled damp marks.
Shen Xi held Shen Xin tightly in his arms, listening to her sobbing, he felt as though his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, extremely uncomfortable.
Thinking of the days spent in fear, his eyes gradually moistened too. He blinked back the tears and reached out to pat Shen Xin's back, soothing her in a soft voice, "Xinxin, don't cry. Brother swears, I'll never let you leave my side again, and I'll protect you." As he said this, he reached out to cup Shen Xin's cheeks, intending to wipe away the tears on her face, when he suddenly saw that the right side of her face was badly swollen.
