Yin Shaojie’s heart felt like it had shattered when he heard her cry, and it ached for her.

He enveloped her into his embrace with a sweep of his long arm and hugged her tight, kissing her forehead gently.

Mu Xiaoxiao seemed like she couldn’t hold it in any longer as she wept loudly as though she was a child who had lost everything, sobbing without abandon.

“Mama! Mama, I miss you so much. I really really miss you so much! Uwah — ”

Her tears flowed thickly, wetting the front of his shirt quickly.

Yin Shaojie’s eyes teared up as he listened to her sorrowful cries…

His throat felt like it had been choked up by something, and he didn’t know what to say to comfort her.

He could only hug her close and give her warmth through his embrace. He kissed her cheeks softly and kissed the tears running down her face as well until his kisses reached her eyes.

Mu Xiaoxiao sniffled as she sobbed. “Y-Yin Shaojie… D-Do you still remember my Mama? Will you ever forget her?” she asked, her voice all choked up.

It had been three-and-a-half years since her beloved Mama had left her and her Papa. It had been three-and-a-half years.

Sometimes, she would think about this sadly: Other than her and Papa, who would remember Mama?

She didn’t want to forget her Mama, but her heart would hurt every time she thought about her. This made her conflicted, and she was sometimes really confused — should she think about her Mama at all?

Yin Shaojie answered in a low voice, “Of course not. I still remember Mama Mu, and I will never forget her.

“N-Never ever forget her?” She was crying terribly and coughed a few times.

“Yes, I’ll never ever forget her.”

He nodded. He meant every word of what he said.

This made Yin Shaojie reminisce about Mama Mu uncontrollably. She was an extremely gentle and beautiful woman, and he also remembered her as a great cook. When he was little and had gone over to the Mus to play, Mama Mu would always make cute and delicious snacks for both of them.

Thus, he was also very sad when he heard of Mama Mu’s passing. It was his first experience of sorrow from a person’s passing.

Life was really fragile. Once a person was dead, there was nothing left, and you would never be able to see them again.

Suddenly, Yin Shaojie recalled what had happened today.

Lu Yichen had been injured by a sharp instrument. His wound was also really long. Who knew how long that knife had been?

That person’s target had been Xiaoxiao. If Lu Yichen hadn’t been there to protect her, wouldn’t that knife have been stabbed into her body?

Yin Shaojie’s arm around her tightened as he imagined that frightening possibility.

He felt his heart go cold and his blood rush down from his face. He shivered uncontrollably.

“Yin Shaojie… You’re hugging me too tightly…”

Mu Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable from his sudden squeeze, and her brows furrowed in protest.

Her voice was already hoarse from crying. If she cried more, she probably wouldn’t be able to speak the next day.

Yin Shaojie took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before his heart relaxed a little.

He could feel the person in his embrace. She was still here; she wasn’t injured.

He appeared to confirm her existence like this for a few more times before he could release the breath that he had been holding.

“Don’t cry anymore, alright? My heart’s going crazy from your crying,” he said in a low voice, and he once again kissed her tears away with his warm lips.

Mu Xiaoxiao slowly stopped her tears, but his breath still hitched from crying for so long.

“Good, you’re a good girl,” Yin Shaojie said, his gaze tender.
