Ye Chenning leaned on Rong Yunluo's shoulder and slowly calmed himself down without saying a word.

Now she couldn't control her emotions anymore, and tears kept falling like pearls from a broken string.

This was the nth time that Ye Chenning had broken down in front of him, and he couldn't even remember.

She didn't want Rong Yunqi to see her like this, but the defense she had built up with great difficulty always collapsed in front of him.

Perhaps it was because he held too important a position in her heart, or perhaps it was because deep down in her heart she still longed for him to be by her side and hoped to get his understanding and support.

But whatever the reason, she didn't want to be controlled by these emotions anymore.

Feeling Rong Yunlu's hand touching her hair, she seemed to have heard Rong Yunlu crying just now. She sniffed and spoke with a nasal tone, asking, "Why are you crying?"

"Seeing you crying, I started crying too."

"Oh." Ye Chenning raised his hand and pretended to pat his back, "The puppy is not well behaved, cry."

Rong Yunqiu pulled the quilt that had escaped and covered Ye Chenning's belly, "Is the young lady angry?"

Ye Chenning looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. The sky was already pitch dark. The night wind blew the gauze curtains, bringing a hint of coolness and desolation. The flowers and trees outside the window swayed in the wind, making a slight rustling sound.

The petals, which were already on the verge of collapse, finally could not withstand the ravages of the wind and fell one after another, dancing in the air and then quietly landing on the ground.

"A lying puppy is not a good dog." Ye Chenning punched Rong Yunling on the back, even though she was sore all over and had no strength left. "Tell me, why did you lie to me?"

"Because I don't want you to give up because of me."

Ye Chenning pushed him away, with a bit of annoyance in her eyes, "I don't want to hear this now. You said everything for my own good, but you never considered my feelings. What you did was wrong."

"Well, I admit I was wrong."

Rong Yunqi took her hand that was hanging on the quilt, with a sincere expression and a bit of grievance in his tone, "So can you forgive me?"

Ye Chenning lowered her eyes and looked at the two people's clasped hands, pursing her lips slightly. The weather was starting to get cold, and she was beginning to crave the warmth of their palms.

She was silent for a few seconds, just looked at him and nodded slightly.

Rong Yunqiu looked at her and lowered his eyes again, then took the towel on her head firmly and asked, "Shall we go out for a walk?"

Ye Chenning tilted his head to look at him, his expression a little speechless, "No strength."

"It seems so. Then go wash your face?"

"Oh."

Rong Yunjie went and came back, bringing a clean towel. Ye Chenning lay obediently on the bed and let him touch her face.

The towel gently wiped away the tears on her face, and it also seemed to be secretly wiping away the pain she had just felt.

"Aren't you going to ask me?"

Rong Yunqi raised his hand and held the hand that was exposed outside the quilt. The temperature of his palm was so hot that it seemed to burn Ye Chenning's heart. "Are you willing to tell me?"

Ye Chenning nodded and shook her head, her voice a little hoarse.

"I just had a long dream... I dreamed that when we were little, we went swimming and accidentally swam into deep water. I was very scared at that time and wanted to go back to the shallow water but I didn't have the strength. And you? You were only a few months older than me and were also a child, but you ran to save me, but in the end you almost couldn't climb ashore because you didn't have enough strength."

When she said this, her eyes turned slightly red, and she still felt a little scared when she recalled the scene at that time.

"How can you still remember what happened after such a long time? I'm fine now, right?"

Ye Chenning squeezed his hand and shook his head, "No, I wanted to pull you out, but the swimming pool turned into an endless sea that swallowed me up, and you... didn't come back... you won't come back again..."

Rong Yunqiu pushed her messy hair behind her ears with his fingertips, his deep eyes full of tenderness, "Dreams are always the opposite. Now, I am here."

"Well, let me ask you, did you not expect me to do this?" Ye Chenning lowered his eyelashes after saying this, not wanting to look at him anymore.

In fact, she still cares about what Rong Yunluo is thinking. Even though he went through untold hardships to come back to her and saw her current appearance, he still stayed with her.

He said he would never leave, but she already knew that anything in this world could be taken away from her.

"What kind of person are you that I haven't seen before? Since the small flower I raised is growing crooked, I can correct it."

She is still sick now, wearing white pajamas, looking soft and well-behaved. Rong Yunqi reached out and stroked the red corners of her eyes.

"Loving someone is like raising flowers? Am I that flower?"

Rong Yunqi nodded slightly to show his agreement, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently stroked her messy long hair, "Well...you are."

"Yeah, that's fine. Anyone who runs away is a puppy."

The two looked at each other and both smiled.
