"Niannian, I'm sorry for making you worry," Xie Baiyu said gently, then coughed weakly again.
"Xie Baiyu, are you alright?" Xu Nian looked at Xie Baiyu with concern, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, which startled Xie Baiyu.
"Niannian, don't cry, this is an old problem of mine." Xie Baiyu pulled Xu Nian into his arms with one hand, gently comforting her, and occasionally kissing the top of her head.
The thoughtful comfort and gentle words finally stopped Xu Nian's tears.
"Xie Baiyu, this place is terrifying. The people lying on the ground are all dead without a sound." Xu Nian's voice was trembling with sobs as she spoke.
It was rare for her to show such a vulnerable side, which made Xie Baiyu feel even more sorry for her.
His beloved Niannian was never panicked or afraid when facing the escape game, but now she hugged him and said it was scary, and was willing to show him her vulnerable side. Has he already entered her heart?
"Niannian, come with me." The two held hands and left the lobby on the first floor, heading towards the library.
Xie Baiyu told Xu Nian to sit there for a while, and that she would be right back.

He picked up the book, flipped through it a few times, then put it down with a puzzled look and asked, "Niannian, can you understand the words in this book?"
"Can't you understand?" Xu Nian asked, touching the warm milk cup.
"I don't understand," Xie Baiyu shook her head.
"Never mind if you don't understand. Where did you get this milk?" Xu Nian took a sip of milk and stared at Xie Baiyu like a curious child.
"I got this from the kitchen. I also got you a piece of bread. Eat up." Xie Baiyu presented the bread to Xu Nian like a treasure.
The next second, the bread rolled to the ground, and under Xie Baiyu's puzzled gaze, Xu Nian also poured out the milk.
