Axiu carried Liu Yusheng straight back to her room, closed and locked the door.

The Liu family who were still wrapped up in their raging incredulity stood in the courtyard and looked at each other.

Soon, Liu Dalin's roar echoed outside. "This brat even locked the door! What for? That's my daughter! My daughter!"

"Alright, alright, Axiu is distressed for Nannan. She is indeed exhausted. Let her have a good rest."

"Is he the only one distressed? Aren't I too? I-ahhh~"

The latter words faded. The man must have been dragged away by Grandma Liu.

Axiu paid them no attention, and just hung his head and looked fixedly at the pale child in his arms. His eyes darkened and he pursed his lips.

Then carried the child to the darkest corner of the room, crouched down, and covered the little baby tightly in his arms.

His entire body was in a state of shock, trembling faintly.

"Brother Axiu." Liu Yusheng sounded weary. "I'm fine."

He was afraid.

So subconsciously, he retreated back into the dark corner, back to what he thought was the safest zone.

She thought it was her frailty and fatigue that scared him.

He was afraid she would disappear, so in this way he tried to hide her from anyone who could take her away.

"I'm just so tired." Liu Yusheng said as she carefully observed his appearance, then weakly raised her small hand. "I've been doing resuscitation repeatedly just now, so I'm beat that I don't even have the strength to lift my hand to hug you. I'm really, really tired."

"Will you carry me back to bed and lie down? I'm not comfortable here. I promise I'll be alive and well in no time as soon as I get some sleep."

"Okay? I can't stretch my arms and legs when you embrace me like this… I'm uncomfortable." She added the last two words.

The boy who had been silent finally moved, and also let her feet down so she could stretch out into a more comfortable position. But he had no intention of changing places at all. His hands still hugged her tightly and hid her in his arms.

Close enough to clearly feel her heartbeat, as if that was the only way he would be at ease.

Liu Yusheng silently sighed. Let him be. Just take the ride.

She was really tired. Her hands were so sore and soft they didn't feel like her own. Her body was heavy, and her fatigue punched in waves. She could no longer withstand it.

Her eyelids drooped straight down, having no extra energy left to talk.

That afternoon, the room was very quiet.

Occasionally, beams of light penetrated through the window frames, illuminating the dimly lit room and making out the dark shadows huddled in the corner.

The young man leaned against the corner of the wall, hands around the arms of the little girl. For the whole hour, he never moved a muscle nor changed positions.

She was fast asleep, breathing softly, and looking very lovely.

But even in the dim light, he could see the pallor of her face, and the dullness of her pink lips.
