The man seemed to have not expected the woman to cry.

Watching her tears flow "plop plop," those scalding tears were like boiling water, dripping into his heart with a burning pain.

His eyes showed only heartache, which seemed to be more painful than the numerous wounds on his body.

Xie Zedu began to panic.

He raised his hand, covered the woman's delicate cheek, and gently wiped away her tears.

Gently caring for:

"Wanwan, did I scare you? I'm fine, I just look a little scary. It's okay, really, Wanwan, please don't cry, okay?"

"... "

This idiot, he just said he was in a lot of pain.

Qiao Wanwan knew he was comforting her, but for some reason, she felt as if a heavy stone had been thrown into a calm pool.

A wave of bittersweetness washed over me.

She knew this wasn't her own problem, but she felt extremely sad about it.

In particular, the words the man used to comfort her.

The tears in Qiao Wanwan's eyes gradually increased, and they slid down with a "drip drip drip".

"Wanwan!"

The man was at a loss for what to do, so he could only step forward and pull the woman into his arms.

He gently stroked her hair to soothe her emotions.

Qiao Wanwan also hugged his slender waist tightly and buried her face in his chest, crying.

"Woo~"

With a sob in her voice, she stammered:

"Why? Everyone says even tigers don't eat their cubs. Isn't he your biological father? Why is he so cruel to you?"

"... "

Xie Ze paused slightly as he stroked the woman's hand, a hint of self-mockery appearing in his eyes.

He gave a helpless, soft laugh.

"Unfortunately, my father wasn't even a tiger..."

"... "

His tone was flat, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Qiao Wanwan felt deeply aggrieved and helpless for him.

His father is a monster, okay!

But... what about his mother?

Given how the father treated the child, shouldn't the mother step in to protect her child?

She thought it was true and then said it out loud.

Where is your mother?

But all I got in return was silence from the other side.

"... "

"Did I ask something I shouldn't have? I'm sorry."

"No, my mother died not long after I was born, so I have no memory of her at all and don't know how to tell you."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan felt even more upset upon hearing this, and apologized with her red lips pursed:

"Feel sorry."

The man couldn't bear to see Qiao Wanwan so sad, so he reached out and stroked her head, smiling at her.

"It's okay, Wanwan, I don't mind. As long as you're by my side, that's enough."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan didn't quite understand what he meant, but she didn't care to think about it.

However, they all felt a pang of regret for the man in front of them.

She knew that not every man in the world could be a husband and father.

It just so happens that Xie Ze was born into this family, where the father not only lacked a sense of responsibility but also cruelly poisoned his own relatives.

That's why...his personality became so pathological.

Now Qiao Wanwan knows how much love Xie Ze, this villain, lacked since childhood.

His persistence stems from the influence of his family of origin on his entire life.

Although she is a reader

But she is also grateful that her parents love her in real life.

Even after entering the world of the book, the female supporting character's father still dotes on her.

I didn't encounter any of those strange parents.

Qiao Wanwan grew up in an environment of love. Her reaction to Xie Ze's situation may have been due to an overabundance of maternal instinct, or perhaps other reasons.

I still felt a pang of sadness and wanted to cry, and I even hugged him tightly, wanting to give him more warmth.

I want him to feel that there are still people in the world who are good to him...

The man felt a surge of joy as he listened to the woman sobbing in his arms.

As expected, Wanwan still liked him and would cry for him because of his experiences.

In this world, all he needs is Wanwan by his side.

The man was incredibly excited, and a slight smile appeared on his pale lips.

As Qiao Wanwan gradually calmed down, she heard the man's heart pounding faster and hotter.

She slowly pulled away from the man's embrace, looking at his wounds, feeling a pang of pity.

"Aze, shall I help you apply the medicine?"

But the man opposite him gently shook his head and refused:

"No, Wanwan, I'm so tired right now. Can I... hold you and sleep here?"

"sleep?"

"Ah."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan noticed that his eyes were bloodshot; he was indeed exhausted.

I don't know what possessed her, but she didn't refuse and agreed with a slight smile.

...

Under the cover of night, moonlight shone through the window.

The decorative crystals hanging on the curtains reflected the shadows of the two people on the large bed.

A shirtless man held a woman in his arms, and the two clung tightly to each other.

Qiao Wanwan looked up at the handsome man's colorless face. He was sleeping restlessly, his breathing slow. He was holding her so tightly that he didn't give her a single opening to move, and she couldn't move at all.

Fine, I'll agree to his request and just sleep like this.

After giving up on moving her body, Qiao Wanwan slept surprisingly soundly.

Her rosy cheeks rested against the man's chest as she slept soundly.

After a while, the man above him slowly opened his deep eyes. Feeling the woman's soft body in his arms, his heart was beating vividly, as if it had already overcome the pain in his body.

While the woman was asleep, he secretly kissed her hair before holding her and falling asleep peacefully.

"Cuckoo~"

A few small birds flew in and perched on the branches of the peach tree outside the window, chirping noisily.

Qiao Wanwan was woken up and frowned slightly.

She slowly opened her eyes and vaguely saw the handsome face of the man in front of her. The distance between them was only one centimeter, and they could both feel the warm breath from each other.

She was stunned for a moment, and blinked.

But she quickly recalled what happened yesterday and remembered that she had promised to sleep with Xie Ze.

She clearly felt that her sleeping posture was ugly. But what she looked like under the covers was... well, let's just say it was a different story.

For some reason, Qiao Wanwan's hand and leg climbed onto the man's slender waist.

This posture is just like when she usually hugs her blanket and sleeps comfortably.

The other person was still shirtless, and the two were in a very intimate position, making her face flush and feel extremely embarrassed.

Qiao Wanwan slowly propped herself up, stepped over him, and got off the bed.

After tidying up my clothes, I found that the other person was still asleep and hadn't woken up. Looking at his exposed skin, there wasn't a single spot that was okay, and my eyes were filled with heartache.

Some little thoughts started to form in my mind.

He muttered to himself:

"It's still early, spring and summer haven't arrived yet, there's still time."

"How about we apply some medicine to him first?"

As soon as Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she quietly returned to the bed with the ointment, slowly pulled back the blanket covering the man, and looked at his wounds all over his body. Her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed like a caterpillar.

She applied it gently to him, being careful not to wake him.

...

Xie Ze hadn't slept so peacefully in a long time. He vaguely felt a warm little hand wandering over his body.
