He was clearly drunk, but he seemed to understand and know everything.

Those who are sober have nowhere to escape!

yes.....

Although she has forgotten, the memories etched into her bones will not disappear...

It's inevitable that the scenery will evoke emotions...

The man suddenly turned his face, abruptly closed his eyes, then opened them again, regaining his composure.

She slowly walked forward, her tone calm and even, but her voice slightly hoarse, "Jiaojiao..."

"Um?"

The little girl on his back stirred slightly, responded groggily, wrapped her little arms tightly around the man's neck, smacked her lips a few times, and seemed to close her eyelids even tighter.

Do you... resent me?

I blame myself for not protecting them...

The little girl on his back didn't make a sound, but her whole body tensed up in an instant, and even her breathing seemed to subconsciously become lighter.

It was very quiet between the two of them, so quiet that the only sound was the surging of the waves, and even their breathing was inaudible.

The man held his breath, his gaze unusually tinged with tranquility.

He knew she was listening...

The girl held her breath, and even her closed eyelids trembled uncontrollably a few times.

She knew he was waiting for her answer!

After a long, long time, the girl suddenly reached out and covered the man's eyes with her hands, brought her small mouth close to his ear, and whispered, "Ah Zhou, I don't know either~~, I'm so glad you're still here... I just miss them so much!"

I just miss them so much!

"I was so scared before, I was so scared that you would be too..."

The air around her ears suddenly felt damp; it was from Gong Ning's unintentional tears...

The man blinked suddenly, his eyes hidden by the girl's hands. He paused, then a relaxed smile appeared on his lips.

The girl's soft, low voice whispered in my ear, "A-Zhou, you must take good care of yourself. Aunt Ling, Dad Ling, they're all... I only have you left. If you also... I really don't know what the point of waking up again would be..."

The girl's words were fragmented and somewhat incoherent, but the man understood them.

He supported her hips with one hand, using the other to remove the girl's small hand from his eyes, and stroked her soft hand a few times. "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? You have such a loving and caring family, and you don't want them anymore?"

The girl paused, her face flushed with a captivating blush, and then she turned her head to look around.

The sea appeared even more profound and mysterious under the deep night sky, and a sense of bewilderment gradually spread across its dark and bright eyes.

"A-Zhou, you know I'm the third young lady of the Gong family, right?"

"Yes, your parents contacted me recently. They asked me many questions about you, such as whether you are feeling well, whether you are happy, what you usually do, and what you like to eat lately. They came to Xingzhan Garden while you were away and brought you many gifts... They really wanted to see you, but you weren't there..."

Gong Ning fell silent...

The wind at the beach seemed to be picking up, so Yan Jingzhou carried the girl back and spoke gently, "They all love you!"

The sea breeze continued to caress my skin affectionately, and all I could hear was the vast, natural sound of the waves.

for a long time.

"oh!"

The girl's soft voice drifted into my ears along with the cool, distant sea breeze.

A few gentle tenderness flashed across the man's dark, deep eyes.

Look at her bewildered and helpless little face...

He must be extremely confused...

She's not very good at handling things like relationships...

I haven't even thought about how to face my family.

The man lowered his eyes slightly and sighed softly...

Give her some time, things will get better!

"Shall we go back?"

"Um!"
