"Don't go!" Xia Yinian panicked the moment she heard Gu Beicheng was leaving.
She hugged him tightly, refusing to let go at all costs: "Don't leave me behind!"
Being alone in a place pitch black, she had already been terrified throughout the night.
Especially with the sheer cliffs around, what if he had an accident while leaving...
"No, don't go, please don't leave!"
Gu Beicheng looked down and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, one that even he wasn't aware of.
This little girl was genuinely scared, this fiery one, was now clinging to him out of fear.
To Gu Beicheng, her actions of seeking his protection in her panic were delightful.
His large hand rested on her back, gently massaging: "Alright, I won't leave."
"Really?" Xia Yinian clearly couldn't believe it.
"Do I look like someone who doesn't keep his word?" His expression darkened.
"I didn't mean that!" Now to Xia Yinian, whatever Seventh Young Master said was true; she didn't dare to argue at all.
