Liu Shuang walked out of the bedroom and saw Shen Qiqi squatting at the entrance with her face buried in her knees, curled up like a cloud-shrouded little mushroom.

She walked over and whispered, "Junior sister?"

Shen Qiqi suddenly raised her face, her nose red, her voice hoarse, and her eyes lit up briefly. "You didn't leave?"

Liu Shuang explained, "I went back to the room to get something."

Shen Qiqi was still squatting on the ground, looking up at her, and said weakly, "Oh... I thought you left without waiting for me."

Liu Shuang could hear the grievance in her tone and fell silent for a moment before saying, "No, I didn't."

A sudden silence fell between the two.

Liu Shuang was not normally talkative, relying on Shen Qiqi to actively liven up the atmosphere. But today, Shen Qiqi seemed to be in a different mood, and the atmosphere was unusually quiet.

Their eyes met, and in the wordless silence, Liu Shuang decided to take the initiative and reached out a hand towards her. "Let's go then."

Shen Qiqi suddenly felt a rebellious thought and turned her face away, saying softly, "I won't go."

Liu Shuang pursed her lips slightly, feeling a bit at a loss. "What's wrong?"

Shen Qiqi looked at the ground, her gaze fierce. "I'm not feeling well in my heart, I can't walk."

Even when throwing a tantrum, she looked like a little wild cat, hunching her body, baring her sharp teeth, and her tail puffed up, but without any real threat, proud yet endearing.

Liu Shuang felt her heart softened and tickled by the little claws, and suddenly felt like laughing.

She gently raised the corner of her lips, bent down to look at Shen Qiqi, and said, "What would make Junior sister feel better?"

Shen Qiqi kept her head down and said stiffly, "I don't know."

You'd better use your clever little brain to think about how to comfort someone, don't be ignorant!

Liu Shuang had never comforted anyone before, and "don't cry" was already her limit. She thought for a moment and said softly, "I was careless just now, I should have explained to you in advance. From now on, I won't leave you alone again."

A simple promise, but it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds when she said it.

Shen Qiqi looked at her, her eyes shining brightly. "Really?"

Liu Shuang clenched the hand by her side and nodded. "Yes, really."

"Well, you're not allowed to suddenly ignore me either," Shen Qiqi whispered.

"Alright, I'll definitely pay attention to you," Liu Shuang replied readily.

Shen Qiqi frowned, "And also, if there's anything bothering you, just tell me directly, don't keep it in your heart."

The female lead was really too introverted, she needed to learn how to express herself.

Liu Shuang readily agreed, "Hmm, I'll tell you everything."

Shen Qiqi was easily appeased, her eyebrows relaxed, and she brushed off the dust from her body with satisfaction, saying, "That's better."

She used her hand to support her knees and slowly stood up. Unexpectedly, her feet were numb and sore from squatting for too long. Her vision went black, and she uncontrollably fell forward, but was caught by Liu Shuang just in time.
