Chapter 189 His Comfort
As a final step, she secured the edge of the gauze with medical tape and whispered, "You still have to listen to the doctor. Don't get it wet for the next few days, or it will leave a scar."
"Okay." Ji Bingqian responded and obediently pulled down the hem of his T-shirt.
Xu Yueqing began to tidy up the medicine box on the coffee table.
Cotton swabs, disinfectant, gauze, and tape.
It was just a few things that could be packed in two or three seconds, but it took her almost a minute.
Pick up things, put them down, put them down, and put them back in place.
It was as if he was using this mechanical, meaningless repetitive action to cover up the turmoil in his heart.
A big warm hand suddenly reached out and covered the back of her cold hand, stopping her endless tidying movements.
Ji Bingqian's voice sounded above his head.
"If you feel bad, you can tell me."
"Don't hold it in alone."
Xu Yueqing's movements were paused, and she froze there for several seconds before she gently shook her head.
But with such a simple action, her eyes quickly turned red uncontrollably.
What's going on.
She had clearly suppressed her grievances, but Ji Bingqian's simple words were like a key that pried open the floodgates of her emotions.
The emotions that she had forcibly suppressed were now rushing up regardless, trying to burst out of her eyes.
She was a little overwhelmed.
Ji Bingqian looked at her stubborn expression and added another sentence.
"I heard some of your conversation."
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ji Bingqian.
In just a moment, tears rolled down uncontrollably like pearls from a broken string.
One, two, they hit the back of my hand, burning hot.
She probably felt that she looked too embarrassed, so she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face.
"I'm sorry, I..."
She wanted to stand up.
But Ji Bingqian did not give her this opportunity.
He exerted force on his wrist, and Xu Yueqing lost her balance and fell into the man's arms unexpectedly.
The man's chest was strong and firm, holding her tightly in his arms.
Xu Yueqing subconsciously struggled twice, but was held even tighter.
Ji Bingqian's low voice was close to her earlobe, and every word he spoke clearly reached her ears.
“You don’t need to listen to what others say if you have earned it yourself.”
"Those people don't understand you and are jealous of you, so they use words to hurt you."
Xu Yueqing stopped struggling. She leaned in his arms in a daze, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat.
Then she heard him say.
"Xu Yueqing, I believe you."
Ji Bingqian's comfort completely relaxed Xu Yueqing's stiff body. She softened completely and leaned deeply into his arms.
She could feel the warmth of his chest, and her heartbeat could be heard through his clothes, steady and strong.
She buried her face deeper, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, and she bit her lips hard, refusing to cry out.
Ji Bingqian didn't move, just let her lean on him, and the person in his arms was shaking more and more violently.
He had seen the clear eyes when she argued for her rights, and he had also seen the tenacity in her bones that refused to bow to anyone.
This was the first time I had cried and trembled in his arms, letting down all my defenses, like now.
Ji Bingqian felt a little depressed and indescribable pain.
He tightened his arms around her.
His palms were big, and he patted her back gently.
"Cry if you want to."
His voice was low, just beside her ear.
