Gu Yingzhou nodded, stroked Lin Tang's hair, and planned to head back.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered the recent unrest in the county and cautioned her, "It's not very safe these days, try not to linger outside, and pay attention to your safety."
Lin Tang's eyes narrowed, her fingers lightly curled, "...Mhm."
The storm that was stirring would inevitably come.
Unsure of what she was thinking, she hung her head low, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes.
Sensing that his fiancée seemed to be in a poor mood, perhaps frightened, Gu Yingzhou stepped forward and embraced her.
Lin Tang's body was buried in the man's chest, her hand lightly grasping his clothes.
His shoulders were broad and sturdy, and the cool fragrance emanated a strong sense of safety, comforting her.
"Don't be afraid," Gu Yingzhou gently massaged the girl's nape, his voice steady, "I'm here, you just need to go to your job as usual, everything is the same as yesterday."
