"Your shoulders are so thin, can you manage?" Chu Xun asked.

Li Xiyue gave me a 'you underestimate me' look, 'How will you know if you don't try?'

Chu Xun did as he was told and moved closer.

Li Xiyue asked impatiently, "How is it?"

"That's good." Chu Xun's lips curled up slightly.

Li Xiyue looked smug. "I told you I could do it, didn't I?"

She raised her hand to stroke his hair. "Ah Xun, if you ever encounter anything unpleasant in the future, just lean on my shoulder to rest. You can use my shoulder for free."

Chu Xun's smile widened as he comfortably closed his eyes. "Okay."

"Ah Xun, you've done enough, you're already amazing, don't be too hard on yourself." Li Xiyue said softly, "You don't need to pretend to be strong, you can be weak in front of me."

The words, "You can be weak," deeply shocked Chu Xun like never before.

He grew up without a father and lost his mother when he was two. His grandfather was always strict with him and always strived to do his best in everything, and he did not disappoint his grandfather.

He has suffered countless injuries during missions, the most serious of which nearly killed him, but he has persevered through them all.

In his grandfather's eyes, he was the most outstanding grandson.

In his family's eyes, he was a hero who brought glory to the family.

The word "weakness" simply doesn't exist in his dictionary.

This was the first time someone had told him that he could be weak.

Chu Xun hugged her tightly, "Yueyue, why are you so good to me?"

"I'm your boyfriend, of course I have to treat you well."

Li Xiyue hugged him tightly and gently stroked his back. "Although I am a girl, I am not weak. I can also be your strong support. Xun, you are a human being, not a god. You can be sad, upset, and vulnerable. These are normal human emotions. You don't have to suppress yourself."

Chu Xun buried his face in her neck, inhaling her faint fragrance, and felt his negative emotions gradually dissipate.

After a long while, he released her and smiled, "Yueyue, I'm alright now, thank you."

"You've recovered so quickly?" Li Xiyue blinked and opened her arms. "Want another hug?"

Chu Xun was successfully amused by her, and the gloom in his heart completely dissipated. He held her hand and said softly, "Actually, I had expected this result, but it was just that I couldn't accept it for a while after it was suddenly confirmed."

"Perhaps this is the best outcome. If my sister were still alive, she might have been trained by the Japanese to be a weapon against China and the Chu family. In that case, the mutual destruction of our own people would be a hundred times more painful than it is now."

Li Xiyue remained silent. Chu Xun and the Chu family understood the reasoning behind it, so she didn't need to say anything more.

Take Ye Tian for example. The Chu family has never given up looking for him all these years, but once they find him, they don't dare to trust him.

After all, what a person has experienced while wandering outside for so many years is unknown to outsiders.

The Chu family had learned a lesson from their past mistakes; they couldn't afford to gamble, nor did they dare to.

If they lose the bet, it will be a devastating disaster for the Chu family and the country.

They've brought him back, and they're treating him well, providing him with the best food and drink, without shortchanging him in the slightest. But it's probably impossible for him to participate in the core affairs of the Chu family.

After all, the Chu family is no ordinary family; the implications are too great. Even for the sake of the country, they have no choice but to do this.

Chu Xun rallied and continued interrogating Gong Ye Haotian.

However, after regaining consciousness, Miyano Koten became stubborn again. Perhaps the pain from his wounds was too intense, and no matter how he was tortured, he refused to reveal any information.

Li Xiyue handed a bottle of medicine to Chu Xun, saying, "This medicine contains datura pollen, which can cause hallucinations. Give it to him, and I guarantee you'll be able to get everything out of him."
