Having seen Bei Yin feign strength and cry because of insecurity, this was the first time Mo Shisheng had ever seen him break down and cry like this.
She frowned slightly, momentarily at a loss for how to comfort her.
Bei Yin held Mo Shisheng tightly with both arms, resting his face on her shoulder. "Sister, Yin'er is so afraid you'll leave me... Sister... please don't scare Yin'er anymore..."
"..."
Mo Shisheng pursed her crimson lips slightly, raised her hand and touched Bei Yin's head, "You won't leave. You're all sweaty, why don't you go take a shower first?"
"don't want……"
Perhaps because his fever had just subsided, Bei Yin rarely threw a tantrum like a child.
Mo Shisheng felt that this was the kind of personality that a normal child should have; he was so sensible that it was heartbreaking.
Because Bei Yin was crying so hard, Mo Shisheng's patience unusually improved. "You promised me you'd be obedient, didn't you? Do you mean all the promises you made to me are true?"
"...No...that's not it!"
Hearing Mo Shisheng's question, Bei Yin hurriedly shook his head, quickly moving his head away from her shoulder. His eyes, red but clear after being washed by tears, were fixed on Mo Shisheng, a hint of fear in them. "Yin'er keeps his word... but... but I'm afraid..."
"Since your words count, then mine naturally count too, understand?"
Mo Shisheng chuckled, "You're covered in sweat right now, don't you want to take a clean shower?"
"I think……"
Bei Yin nodded, his face slightly flushed, making Mo Shisheng think he had a fever again. She quickly reached out and touched his forehead, then touched her own.
She frowned slightly. "Are you still feeling unwell? Why is your face still a little red?"
No!
Bei Yin puffed out his cheeks and shook his head. His milky white, jelly-like face was so cute that you wanted to pinch it. "Can Yin'er take a bath with his sister?"
Probably not expecting Bei Yin to say such a thing, Mo Shisheng chuckled lightly, gently pinching Bei Yin's cheek, "No, I'm a girl and Yin'er is a boy, how can we bathe together?"
"Is that so...?"
Upon hearing Mo Shisheng's reply, Bei Yin was visibly displeased, and his mood was noticeably low.
"Be a good girl, and after your bath I'll take you to play in the street, okay?"
Mo Shisheng wasn't very good at coaxing people, especially since the other person was a child, even though the child was somewhat mature.
"May I?"
Because Mo Shisheng was very busy, Bei Yin rarely saw her, let alone went out with her.
Upon hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Bei Yin's eyes suddenly brightened, a glimmer of hope appearing in them.
"Yes, that's fine."
Mo Shisheng nodded, pulled back the covers, and took out Bei Yin's clothes from her storage ring, placing them by the bedside. "There's hot water prepared inside. After you've washed up, change your clothes and wait for me, okay?"
"Um!"
Bei Yin nodded understandingly, got up from the bed, huffed and puffed as he climbed off, put on his shoes, and ran towards the other side of the screen.
After Bei Yin went inside, Mo Shisheng also got out of bed and walked towards her room next door.
As her body soaked in the hot water, she felt completely relaxed, and the comfort made her squint her eyes.
