Upon mention of this, Qiao Xiaomai involuntarily remembered the day's brutality. She pursed her lips and threw herself into Tong Sanlang's arms, voicing her grievance, "Of course I was scared!"
Even though her personality was somewhat stubborn, she was still an ordinary person at the end of the day. Having lived two lifetimes, she had never witnessed such a bloody scene.
After returning home that night, she had nightmares. With Tong Sanlang not by her side, there was no one she could confide in about her nightmares, so she had to silently swallow her suffering.
She had nightmares for three consecutive days until Tong Sanlang came back and she curled up in his arms, finally getting a peaceful night's sleep.
Caught by surprise with an embrace, Tong Sanlang lifted his arms to hold her tightly, consoling her in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. From now on, unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't leave you."
