Seeing the care-filled face of Chu Ge and hearing his gentle voice, Ye Li's eyes turned even redder, and she bit her lips tighter.
"Brother Chu…"
With a call, Ye Li threw herself into Chu Ge's arms, burying her head on his shoulder, unable to hold back, and burst into tears.
Feeling Ye Li's slight trembling and listening to her helpless and aggrieved sobs, Chu Ge gently patted her shoulder without saying anything, just patiently waiting for her to release her sadness through tears.
After crying for quite a while, Ye Li finally left Chu Ge's embrace, wiping the unstoppable tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand. Seeing the spot on Chu Ge's shoulder dampened by her tears, she bit her lip, sobbing, aggrieved and apologetic, she spoke.
"Brother Chu, I'm sorry, I… I didn't mean to cry, I…"
Chu Ge gently shook his head and used his finger to wipe away the tears that welled up again at the corner of Ye Li's eyes, "It's okay, what happened?"
