Chương 228: I get it now

Gu Yin felt the sting on her behind and tears began to dampen her eyes.

But in the next moment, she found herself in an embrace, one that was warm and carried a faint, soothing fragrance. In this embrace, the pain seemed to vanish, leaving Gu Yin stunned into silence.

Gu Dai cradled Gu Yin to the couch, her voice a gentle whisper, "Yinyin, are you hurt anywhere?"

Gu Yin, still in a daze, shook her head slightly and replied softly, "No, I'm fine."

Gu Dai spoke softly with a tinge of regret, "I'm sorry, I should have stopped you from pouring water earlier."

Gu Dai had been preoccupied with how to handle the matter of Gu Yin offering her poisoned water, momentarily forgetting the dangers a child could face in such an act.

Looking up at Gu Dai, Gu Yin whispered, "It's my fault. I wanted to pour the water. Cousin Gu Dai, I'll be fine after I rest a little."
