Suddenly, a long shadow covered her shadow.
She looked up blankly.
Xie Huaiye stood right in front of her.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes betrayed his unconcealed worry.
He seemed to have rushed over; his coat was even a little disheveled.
"You...how did you get here?"
Yan Ning's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of sob in it.
Xie Huaiye looked at her calmly, his voice low:
"I saw you come out looking pale after answering a phone call, so I guessed what was going on... I was worried, so I came to check on you."

Only the steady beating of his heart remained.
It struck her eardrums, one strike after another.
He soothed her shattered emotions.
