He was tired, but as the oldest brother, he couldn't show it. He was the backbone of his brothers and had to put on a composed front whether he wanted to or not.
The brothers pitied him, he knew, but the tenderness Baobao showed, the way she considered him, spoke openly about standing and bearing with him, becoming his strength, his reliance, was something he had never experienced before in his life.
"Baobao…" he wanted to ask, with such concern for him, what place did he hold in her heart? But the words didn't reach his lips before he swallowed them back.
He caressed her cheek, and then, he did something that surprised even himself— he suddenly kissed her!
Dong Huiying was stunned.
The kiss was brief, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water, barely making contact before pulling away.
Despite this, Dong Huiying was still dumbfounded, unable to come back to her senses.
