"Yes! Nightclub!" Director Lin was as if he had been pardoned. He hurried forward and carefully and sympathetically helped the limp Sun Guixiang up and let her sit back on the sofa.
Sun Guixiang was still immersed in great fear and trance, her body shaking violently and tears flowing silently.
She didn't dare to look up, didn't dare to look at the boy who was quietly reading the documents.
Director Lin looked at her frightened expression, sighed inwardly, and softened his voice: "Ms. Sun, don't be afraid, it's okay. Mr. Ye is not angry."
"Look, he's still processing the documents. It's okay, don't worry, the aid won't change. Come, let's continue to finish the information."
Sun Guixiang raised her head blankly, looked at Director Lin's gentle face, and then timidly and quickly glanced at the young man sitting quietly not far away.
The young man lowered his head, his profile lines cold and focused, as if he was immersed in his own world and was unaware of the movements on her side.
That extreme calmness was like a powerful sedative, miraculously soothing her pounding heart.
She knew that the young master did not blame her.
He was just... just too calm, so calm that it was hard to see through him.
The huge fear and the relief of surviving the disaster intertwined together, making her burst into tears again.
But this time, in addition to gratitude, the tears were also filled with an indescribable complex emotion - shock at the child's deep tolerance like the ocean, and deep guilt for his reckless action just now.
With the patient and meticulous comfort and guidance of Director Lin, Sun Guixiang finally completed the submission of all application materials.
When Director Lin solemnly told her that the foundation's staff would go to the hospital in the afternoon to meet her attending physician, that all expenses would be borne by the foundation from that moment on, and that they would arrange for someone to go to Xiao Shitou's home as soon as possible to understand his condition, she burst into tears again.
Holding the cloth bag that seemed much lighter, she, accompanied by Director Lin himself, took the special elevator to leave the building that made her feel awe and gratitude.
As she walked out of the revolving door, she couldn't help but look back again and gaze at the top floor that soared into the clouds.
The sun pierced through the clouds, casting dazzling spots of light on the cold glass curtain wall.
Inside the office, the only sound was the slight rustling of papers.
Ye Qingliu was still sitting on the large black leather chair, looking at the documents.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the blinds, casting a crisscross of light and dark on him. His gray-blue eyes were lowered, resting on the densely packed text, seemingly still focused.
However, after Director Lin sent Sun Guixiang away and gently closed the office door, the fingers that were flipping through the documents paused very slightly.
He slowly raised his other hand, and with an indescribable, exploratory look in his fingertips, he very slowly and gently touched the spot on his head that had just been rubbed.
There seemed to still be a very faint trace of the rough touch of the old man's palm, and a kind of... surging, almost scorching temperature of gratitude that he had never experienced before.
This feels weird.
It was strange and abrupt, but it didn't make him feel repulsive or dirty.
He lowered his hand, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the edge of the smooth document paper.
Deep in the gray-blue eyes, beneath the calmness of a deep pool, it seemed as if something extremely subtle was gently moved by this unexpected touch.
He pushed the silver-rimmed glasses on his nose, and the lenses reflected a cold light.
Then, he lowered his head and continued to flip through the documents. His movements remained calm and focused, as if the brief ripple just now had never caused any disturbance in the lake of his heart called Ye Qingliu.
Only the cool and upright silhouette outlined by the sunlight seemed a little softer than before, barely noticeable.
