"But when I truly understand this tenacity, I can no longer just accept the warmth you bring as if nothing had happened."

Ling Bei used the fingers of the hand that was intertwined with Nan Zishu's to rub the back of Nan Zishu's hand. It was like comforting, more like engraving a promise: "Your light is like a ignition that can't be seen."

The candlelight in the five-fingered cold night, although weak, is warm enough and can light up a person trapped in darkness.

"But these are things you silently burn and share with others. Maybe you don't realize that you have been silently saving others, but there are people who have been reborn because of you in places you didn't notice."

Ling Bei's words hit Nanzi Shu's heart so carefully that she couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a moment: "So, I don't just want to be a person redeemed by you."

"Whether it is now or in the future, I will always just want to be where I can touch you and selfishly protect you in the palm of my hand."

Ling Bei's words were as if he was swearing devoutly to the goddess in his heart, and his tone was so solemn that it made people's hearts tremble.

Nan Zishu could feel that sincerity vividly even if he couldn't look directly into Ling Bei's eyes.

But she didn't understand why Ling Bei had such complicated emotions for her in such a short period of time, and she didn't know what the "salvation" he meant was.

But Nan Zishu's intuition told him that these words should be describing himself.

It's like they've known each other for years

"Shu Shu, I have to admit that I really want to have a place in your life."

Ling Bei's suddenly lowered voice made Nan Zishu, who was still thinking just now, instantly hit his breath.

This kind of tone often makes her feel the dangerous and paranoid side of Ling Bei inexplicably.

Nan Zishu's eyes were still covered by Ling Bei's hand, and she couldn't help but increase the sensitivity of her other senses to feel the emotional changes of the people around her.

But when Ling Bei spoke again, he had already avoided the previous topic without any trace, and the strange emotion had disappeared without a trace. It was as if everything was just Nan Zishu's illusion.

"Shu Shu, I just want to use my own personal experience to tell you that you are definitely not as useless as you think. I don't want you to be so arrogant all the time. You are much stronger than you think.

"I have never thought of turning you into an accessory that can only cling to me. My Shushu cannot be imprisoned by anyone or anything.

"Including myself."

Ling Bei's voice was extremely soft, with a hint of persuasion. It also made Nan Zishu, who was blindfolded at this time, even more addicted: "But your fatigue and anxiety, I hope you can allow me to bear it with you.

"Shu Shu, I know that you have been walking alone for many years, and I also know that you don't have enough confidence to share the pain with others. But now I can also feel that you are trying to rely on me more.

"But you still hesitate and think whether you are troubling me or whether I will be angry.

"That only means that I didn't do enough; it only means that the sense of security I gave you was not enough for you to let down all your defenses."
