Chapter 217 Hug Me
The door opened, revealing a figure standing outside.
Jiang Zhouzhou threw herself into his arms, her slender body trembling in his embrace.
"Brother Nanfeng, I'm scared..."
Her voice trembled, her face was as pale as paper, her curled eyelashes were soaked with moisture, and she couldn't help but grip his clothes tightly, as if only in this way could she escape the monster outside the window.
Gu Nanfeng had never seen Jiang Zhouzhou in this state before. She was dancing gracefully in the live broadcast room, but now... she looked like a butterfly with broken wings, extremely vulnerable in his arms.
He raised his hand and gently patted her back.
He gently coaxed her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The warm palms pressed against her smooth skin, and Jiang Zhouzhou flinched again.
Seeing her bare feet on the cold floor, Gu Nanfeng leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Hold me tight."
Jiang Zhouzhou was slightly taken aback, only to see the man in front of her bend down and easily lift her up with one arm.
Her feet were dangling in the air, and she quickly grabbed his shoulders tightly with both hands to keep herself from falling.
Her white skirt billowed out, and through the thin, silky fabric, Jiang Zhouzhou could clearly feel the warmth of his palm.
With her heart pounding, Jiang Zhouzhou, who had already regained her senses, finally woke up...
What did she just do?!
She actually threw herself into Nanfeng's arms!
Looking up at Gu Nanfeng's handsome face, Jiang Zhouzhou felt a momentary daze. As he walked, she felt the hand holding her tighten even more.
Her face, still bearing traces of tears, flushed crimson.
Brother Nanfeng is really strong; he can lift her up with just one arm.
Their eyes met unintentionally, and Jiang Zhouzhou quickly lowered her head. Only then did she see that Gu Nanfeng was holding a crystal bowl in his other hand, which contained clean grapes. Transparent water droplets clung to the bowl's surface. His knuckles were white from the force he was exerting, and the veins on the back of his hand were slightly bulging, winding down to his wrist.
Upon seeing the grapes, Jiang Zhouzhou immediately understood why Gu Nanfeng had come up.
She bit her lip and gently sniffed, trying to stop the tears from falling again.
Gu Nanfeng carried her to the sofa, and seeing her pitiful appearance with red eyes, he brushed the hair from her forehead.
"Okay, now can you tell me what you're afraid of?"
He squatted down in front of Jiang Zhouzhou, his voice patient and gentle.
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes trembled: "The wind blew the curtains up, and I suddenly felt very scared."
I'm afraid of the houses in the countryside, the windows, the pomegranate trees outside the windows... it seems like everything about them is a bad memory.
Gu Nanfeng followed her gaze and saw that the wind was blowing the curtains so big that they were bulging, and the howling wind was coming from the gaps in the dark curtains.
I got up and went over to close all the windows, finally bringing peace to the curtains.
Jiang Zhouzhou calmed down and whispered her thanks: "Thank you, Brother Nanfeng."
Her bun was loose, half of her hair hanging down and partially covering her face, her eyes still moist with tears.
Gu Nanfeng noticed a photo on the ground and bent down to pick it up.
Although the photo has faded, it is still clear that the young man and woman in the photo have outstanding good looks, and the girl in front of them has perfectly inherited all their good looks.
"Are these your parents?" Gu Nanfeng returned the photo to her.
Jiang Zhouzhou took it and nodded: "Yes, they got divorced and each has a new family."
She didn't say anything more, and Gu Nanfeng didn't ask any further questions.
Why was the live stream suddenly disconnected?
Why did I suddenly feel down?
Why are you hiding at home and crying secretly?
Actually, the answers are already there.
Gu Nanfeng, who had guessed the answer, also came over carrying a bowl of grapes.
With slender fingers, she took a grape from the crystal bowl and slowly peeled off its dark purple skin to reveal the plump, round flesh.
"Although I cannot replace the identities of some people, we Zhouzhou don't need to envy others. What others can do, there will be people willing to do for you."
“The treasures they don’t know how to cherish will be cherished a hundred times, a thousand times more by others. They will hold her in the palm of their hand and give her everything.”
"Don't be sad for people who aren't worth it. Your tears won't help them, but they will make those who truly like you feel sad with you."
The glistening juice moistened his fingertips as he gently placed the peeled grapes to Jiang Zhouzhou's lips.
Jiang Zhouzhou subconsciously opened her mouth, her soft lips touching his fingertips. The cool grapes slid into her mouth, the sweetness spreading in her mouth and fading the suppressed bitterness in her heart.
"Brother Nanfeng, can you hug me? Like... an adult hugging a child..."
The words that were difficult to say came out of her mouth for the first time.
She looked at Gu Nanfeng with teary eyes, like an abandoned kitten waiting for a kind person to pet and comfort her.
Let her be willful this once!
She wanted someone to rely on, even if it was just for a short time.
Like a child nestled in an adult's arms, wondering what it feels like to be protected.
Gu Nanfeng wiped his fingers clean, hooked one arm around her waist, and lifted her legs with the other, pulling her into his arms.
"Is that so?" The deep voice whispered in her ear, making her heart race.
Feeling weightless, Jiang Zhouzhou quickly grabbed his collar until she sat on his lap, at which point her grip loosened.
"That should be it!"
She didn't know either, but Nanfeng's arms were warm and smelled nice, but the muscles in his legs were a bit stiff, and it was uncomfortable to sit for a long time.
