Shen Luo'an stiffened as he listened to her.
His heart ached for her as he looked at her face.
The lights in the room were dimmed, yet he could sense the tears trickling down Shen Manting's face.
Her current self is a stark contrast to her past self.
Both were worlds apart.
The former Shen Manting curled her lips in a distorted smile when she cried.
But now, she let her vulnerable side show as she cried.
She had changed.
Shen Luo'an silently held her in his arms.
Shen Manting leaned in closer, wrapped her arms around him, and snuggled up to him.
She smelled the faint scent of body wash on him.
She felt warm in his embrace.
Shen Luo'an patted her gently on the back and whispered softly, "Don't think too much. Just go to sleep."
"Okay."
Shen Manting closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Shen Luo'an felt a throbbing pain in his heart as he held her close.
