"Don't be afraid."
Kang De's calm and steady voice entered Hong San's ears.
That voice was not loud, firm, or powerful. It was only an ordinary tone, ordinary words, and even lowered his voice… However, it instantly calmed Hong San's heart.
He turned around and saw Kang De's face.
The other party actually smiled at him for the first time.
It was not that Hong San had not seen Kang De's smile before, but those smiles were either sneers, mockery, ferocious smiles, or bitter smiles. The meaning behind them was mostly things like "you coward", "you're simply hopeless", and "you actually dare to appear in front of me".
Although there was no malice, it was also a look of disappointment and judgment, filled with disapproval and even disdain.
This smile was different from before.
It was very gentle and filled with encouragement and approval. Most importantly, he treated Hong San as an equal.
