"Blood...Hanhan...Did you see it?" Mo Xiaoqing stared at him with unfocused eyes. Although her face was expressionless, Ji Muhan could see the hysterical crying and shouting in her heart.

The little girl's eyes were dim and lifeless, as if she might be carried away by the wind at any moment. Ji Muhan's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and without thinking, she hugged her tightly, her eyes filled with heartache.

Ji Muhan's eyes pleaded, her voice low and hoarse, "Momo..."

Don't do that. He can't stand it if you do that, and how can he stand it if she does that?

Mo Xiaoqing stared blankly back at him without saying a word.

Ji Muhan felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She swallowed hard, her throat dry, trying to suppress the discomfort. Staring into her eyes, she said very slowly, "Listen to me, Momo, look at me."

Mo Xiaoqing was a beat slow to react when she looked up and met his gaze.

"Momo, baby, I will always be by your side." Ji Muhan's heart was breaking, she was in unbearable pain, but she couldn't show it, because Momo wouldn't be able to bear it. She paused, then continued, "I will always, always be with you."

So stop doing this; you're just torturing him.

Even if he were torn to pieces, he wouldn't feel this bad. But he just couldn't bear to see her shed tears. Her expressive eyes were dull and lifeless, as if her whole world had collapsed and she could no longer see the road ahead, as if she might disappear from this world at any moment.

He felt that Momo would follow in his parents' footsteps, and no matter how much he tried to hold on, she would eventually disappear from his life without mercy…

"How could you be so heartless? Just because your brother is gone, are you leaving me too?"

He knew that her brother had just experienced something like this, and it was normal for her to have difficulty getting over it.

Every time he saw her tormenting herself like this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken, as if his heart was being torn apart, and he felt like he was dying...

He would rather Mo Xiaoqing stab his own heart than see her like he used to be, constantly waking up from nightmares and watching herself grow thinner and thinner.

“No…” Mo Xiaoqing was stunned.

She didn't know why Ji Muhan was so angry with her. Even before they were fully together, he had never yelled at her like that.

"Momo, please stop torturing me like this. You're all I have left. You're the only person I have left in this world."

When he was ten years old, his life changed dramatically.

Having lost both his father and mother within a week, he didn't want to speak to anyone for over a year afterward...

As a result, he developed autism. Initially, he refused to communicate with others and didn't want to hear what others were saying. Later, he couldn't hear anything anyone said and lived in his own world. During that period, he was sensitive and vulnerable...

There was a noticeable bluish shadow under his eyes.

During that year or so, his most frequent dream was of endless blood...

Therefore, the pain that Mo Xiaoqing is feeling now is something he has experienced before.

“I know you’re in pain, you’re suffering… What you’re going through now is what I’ve been through! I understand, but I can’t allow you to remain immersed in this grief.”

"Hanhan." Mo Xiaoqing's heart stirred, and she suddenly felt a lump in her throat, as if she had been choked by onions. She wanted to... she wanted to cry.

Perhaps because of this little "interlude," when she fell asleep again, she hugged Ji Muhan's waist tightly and buried her face in his chest, like a young animal seeking warmth.

This time, she didn't wake up from the nightmare again, and slept peacefully until dawn...

The next day, Mo Xiaoqing finally woke up in Ji Muhan's arms.

Breakfast was cooked by Ji Muhan, while Mo Xiaoqing was only responsible for washing her face and brushing her teeth before eating breakfast.

"So what do you plan to do after you leave the military?"

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon!"

Mo Xiaoqing pouted, "..."

What's with all the secrecy surrounding this simple career change?

She ate her porridge delicately, taking small sips. When she looked up again, she saw her exceptionally handsome and aloof male god, who had changed into a gray trench coat paired with black trousers, making his long legs appear even longer and more eye-catching.

Her eyes were practically blinded by the light!

Mo Xiaoqing hurriedly asked, "Hey, where are you going now?"

Ji Muhan glanced at her indifferently, but did not reply.

She raised her pretty little face and teased, "Dressed up so nicely, are you planning to go out and flirt with other pretty girls behind my back?"
