After Shen Yinan asked, he held his breath and waited for Xue Du's reply.

Xue Du said, "Curious."

Shen Yinan asked with difficulty: “Then…if I show it to you and you don’t like it, will we break up?”

This is what he is most worried about.

Xue Du said that she fell in love with him at first sight.

Love at first sight, appearance is probably the main factor. What if that part is too ugly or too scary and Xue Du doesn’t like it?

Shen Yinan didn't want to lie to Xue Du, but he didn't want to be abandoned by Xue Du even more.

Sometimes I feel disgusted by my own cowardice and timidity.

Xue Du was silent for a few seconds.

In these few seconds, Ana Shen felt that his heart was tightly squeezed by a pair of invisible hands.

I feel suffocated when I say a word.

"I'm not breaking up with you."

In the darkness, Xue Du's voice rang out, every word clear and certain.

"Baby, I love you, including your skin, but not just that."

"I love you, which means I will love all of you and accept all of you. No matter if it's good or bad, as long as it's yours, I will accept it."

"Maybe this sounds pretentious, but that's what I think."

He held up Shen Yinan’s face and gently touched his lips, “If you are afraid, you don’t have to show it to me.”

Shen Yinan blinked hard, trying to drive away the soreness in his eyes.

He was silent for a long time, so long that the passage of time became blurred.

After reopening his eyes, Shen Yinan didn't say anything, but just took Xue Du's hand and guided his hand to hold his left wrist.

Just as he was about to hold it, Xue Du paused.

It seemed to confirm his decision.

Shen Yinan took the initiative to raise his wrist.

The moment he touched the other person’s warm palm, Ana Shen shuddered.

He had hardly ever touched this place with his own hands, and usually ignored it.

In just a few seconds, he shrank back again.

But Xue Du already understood what it was.

Even though he had thought about it, at this moment, Xue Du fell silent.

How could there be... so many?

Rough scratches all over the place.

It is the embodiment of the boy's pain and despair.

Shen Yinan waited anxiously, like a criminal who had committed a serious crime, waiting for punishment from the monarch.

After a long time, a sigh was heard.

The next second, Xue Du hugged him tightly.

The opponent's strength was so tight that it seemed to merge them into each other's bodies.

Shen Yinan was uneasy, his voice was inaudible, “…Do you know what it is?”

"Um."

Xue Du hugged her tighter.

“Then…what do you think?” Shen Yinan tried to keep calm.

But what Xue Du said next made it difficult for him to calm down.

The young man's voice trembled, and was filled with apology:

"I was just thinking, my baby, has suffered a lot of grievances."

"sorry."

"If only... I had found you earlier."

Even if I concealed this...

Xue Du's first reaction was to feel guilty about something that had nothing to do with him.

A sour feeling welled up in Shen Yinan’s nose, and his vision was blurred. He had just been biting his lips tightly to prevent himself from feeling anything strange.

But in the gentle love of the other person, the scalding hot liquid could no longer be held back, and rolled down the cheeks in large drops.

He knew he shouldn't cry, but he couldn't stop crying.

Especially when Xue Du’s palm gently patted his back, Shen Yinan couldn’t control himself.

He seldom cries since he was a child.

He told himself that crying was a cowardly and incompetent act, and he must not cry no matter what obstacles he encountered.

Whether it was the harsh treatment he received from the Zhao family when he was young, the bullying and mockery he received from his classmates at school, or the indifference and contempt he received after returning to the Shen family...

He endured every moment he felt wronged.

But why... now in Xue Du's arms, he couldn't help it.

His eyes were clearly full of pity and love.

But the tears kept flowing uncontrollably.

Shen Yinan sat up and tried to speak, but he couldn’t utter a syllable.

The tears flowed more and more.

Xue Du stood up and held him in his arms.

She wiped away his tears with her fingertips and gently stroked his hair.

"It's okay, baby, cry." Xue Du patted his back gently, "You can cry in front of me, I won't laugh at you."

...I'm not afraid of being laughed at.

I wanted to say that, but I cried even harder.

Ana Shen didn’t know how long he had been crying.

At first I shed tears silently, then I couldn't help sobbing out loud, and then I burst into tears. After my throat was tired from crying, I closed my mouth, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.

Tonight, he seemed to have cried all his tears.

Xue Du said nothing, just hugged him and stayed with him quietly.

Until the tears finally stopped, Xue Du came and brought a glass of warm water.

Shen Yinan took a few sips from his hand, and then his mood eased.

Seeing that the boy had stopped crying, Xue Du went to the bathroom next door to get a towel, soaked it in warm water, and gently wiped the boy's face.

The movements were gentle, as if treating a fragile and rare treasure.

Raising his eyes that were already hurt by tears, Shen Yinan discovered that Xue Du's eyes were red.

He was stunned.

Xue Du has always been gentle in front of him, but Shen Yinan knows that the other party's life and experience destined him to be rational and calm.

But now, Xue Du's eyes were red, and his eyes, which were usually gentle or indifferent, were filled with uncontrollable heartache.

Shen Yinan suddenly remembered that Xue Ning said that Xue Du had cried for him.
