Shu Ran lowered her head, feeling helpless.
She did not dare to look up; she was afraid of seeing the condemnation and dissatisfaction in their eyes. Their gazes would plunge her into endless self-blame and guilt.
Just like that time.
As her thoughts began to spiral back, as the wounds threatened to reopen, she suddenly halted, her small face pale and weak. She forced herself to speak, "I'm sorry, I am willing to bear any consequences."
But what she did not know was what Qin Xian meant to everyone in the Qin Family.
He was their master, the one who decided their fates and saved them all.
He would pull the decaying Qin Family back from the brink of despair, dragging them from the bottomless abyss, giving them hope, light, and infinite possibilities.
He was the light in their darkest hour, their faith, and the support of the entire Qin Family.
If...
If anything were to happen to him...
The thought was unbearable.
Therefore, before Chen Jin or Cao Yun could speak, a subordinate of the Qin Family shouted at her in fury, "Consequences? Do you know how serious it would be if something happened to Qin Shao? Even if you had a thousand lives, it wouldn't be enough!"
Another subordinate gritted his teeth and threatened, "It’s best if that time never comes; if it does, I will definitely drag you along to accompany Qin Shao in death!"
"Enough..." Cao Yun was about to stop them when Shu Ran trembled and spoke up, her voice filled with undeniable guilt and sorrow as she repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"If anything happens to him, I will accompany him in death."
She dared not look up, her delicate voice trembling with an indescribable fear and panic.
Cao Yun felt a sense of injustice for this girl. Clearly, she could live her life quietly and steadily, yet she encountered Qin Xian, a complex and dark figure.
He pulled her into their world, leaving a fragile woman to face such a situation alone.
Was it fortunate or unfortunate?
He could no longer bear to see several men bullying a Little Girl, even if their intentions were for Qin Xian.
Just as he was about to speak up for Shu Ran, a cold and weak voice interrupted, "Who wants to accompany me in death?"
Everyone turned their heads in unison, only to see that Qin Xian, who had been asleep moments ago, had woken up at some point. He was slowly propping himself up on his arm, his face slightly pale, but his deep black eyes were intently observing the situation in the room.
"Qin Shao!" "Qin Shao!" everyone called out together.
"Go call the doctor," Chen Jin ordered before stepping closer to Qin Xian's side, helping him lean against the hospital bed. "Qin Shao, you are awake."
"Who wants to accompany me in death?"
He pressed on relentlessly, his voice icy as if devoid of any warmth.
A subordinate of his who had just threatened Shu Ran, A-Chang, stepped forward to accuse, "Qin Shao, it was her."
Her?
He slowly turned his gaze in the direction indicated by his subordinate.
In this chilling atmosphere, a familiar figure stood in the corner by the bed, appearing out of place.
Just one glance.
Qin Xian suddenly woke up, all the memories from before her unconsciousness flooding back to her mind.
The way she gently coaxed him, the way she fed him water, the way she touched his forehead to check his temperature.
It was all vivid in her mind.
At that moment, she had her head down, making it impossible to see her expression, but beneath her petite frame lay an undeniable fear and helplessness.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that her delicate hands hanging in front of her were trembling slightly.
He felt a deep sense of heartache.
What on earth had happened? Why did she look like this?
He raised his gaze, coldly staring at A-Chang, pressing for answers: "What is going on?"
Although A-Chang was puzzled by Qin Shao's sudden change in demeanor, he continued to explain: "It was her fault that you contracted pneumonia and fell into a feverish coma."
"It’s simply unforgivable, so we threatened her that if anything happened to you, she would pay with her life. But we didn’t expect her to be so timid that she ended up looking like this."
"Qin Shao, how should we deal with her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xian's face darkened immensely, and he suddenly erupted in anger, "Get everyone out except for her."
After shouting, Qin Xian felt a sharp pain in his chest and suddenly began to cough.
"Qin Shao!" The crowd expressed their concern.
"Get out!" Qin Xian coldly ordered without a hint of mercy.
"Yes!" They were accustomed to following Qin Xian's commands, obeying without resistance or refusal.
Simply because he was Qin Xian.
They slowly cleared the room of everyone, closing the door and leaving the entire space for the two of them.
...
The room fell silent in an instant, with only their breathing echoing.
Qin Xian looked at her frightened and panicked figure, struggling to suppress a murderous impulse.
"Shu Ran, don't be afraid, come here."
He finally called out to her softly, his voice unexpectedly gentle, resonating beautifully in this Serene space, captivating the heart.
Shu Ran had been trying hard to hold herself together, not allowing a hint of weakness to show.
Under their threatening rage, she desperately suppressed her fear. She told herself not to be afraid, reassuring herself that nothing would happen. Yet her hands trembled uncontrollably, and tears welled up in her eyes as she bit her lip, trying hard not to let them fall.
But...
With Qin Xian's words, "Shu Ran, don't be afraid," all the emotions she had been holding back suddenly crumbled.
Her nose tinged with bitterness as large tears began to fall, and all the grievances, fears, and panic from the night erupted at that moment.
She finally broke down all her pretended strength, crouching on the ground and hugging herself as she cried silently.
Qin Xian quietly stood up, walked to her side, and pried open her arms that were wrapped around herself, unwilling to let her dissipate her sorrow alone.
He held her hands, lifting her from the cold ground, gently patting her back and softly comforting her, "It's okay, Shu Ran, it's okay."
That night, she experienced guilt and fear all alone.
With no support, everyone felt unfamiliar, cold, and even hostile.
She had no one to confide in and dared not speak out.
She silently bore everything, feeling incredibly wronged.
It was as if she were in an endless ocean, desperately trying to survive while wave after wave crashed down upon her. The more she struggled, the more powerless she became, until she was about to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Qin Xian descended like a savior to rescue her, leading her away from that endless fear, soothing her and providing the only support in the vast ocean.
Despite all this, it all began because of him.
