Shu Pan seemed unaware that now, every time she closed her eyes, she saw the figures of those people.

Gu Shaoting squeezed her hand gently, then patted her head before heading to the living room.

When he emerged, he had a freshly prepared glass of milk in his hand.

“Here, drink the milk, and get a good night’s sleep,” Gu Shaoting coaxed, treating her almost like a child. Indeed, at this moment, she appeared fragile and lost.

Shu Pan took the milk and took a few sips. The rich aroma of the milk instantly filled her mouth, emitting a faint fragrance.

The warmth of the milk reached her heart, bringing a sense of calm to Shu Pan.

“It’s very late; you should go to bed soon. You still have work tomorrow,” Shu Pan suggested.

“It’s okay. You just rest at home recently. I’ll help you take a day off tomorrow,” Gu Shaoting replied decisively.

“Then, could you please pick up Joy?” Shu Pan nodded.

“Sure. Also, what should we do with these film negatives?” Gu Shaoting suddenly remembered this matter.

He took out a thin memory card from his pocket and extended it toward Shu

Pan.

“No… Take it away, destroy it,” Shu Pan suddenly exclaimed excitedly. “Get rid of it.”

Shu Pan saw the memory card as if encountering a fierce beast…

“Alright, I’ll handle it. Everything is fine,” Gu Shaoting, although gentle in his words, carried an undeniable sense of hostility in his eyes.

Biting her lip, Shu Pan didn’t speak, but the tears on her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if about to fall.

“Gu Shaoting, I’m so scared…” Shu Pan spoke up again.

Listening once more, Gu Shaoting’s heart became entangled.

“Panpan, those who hurt you, I won’t let them go.” Gu Shaoting’s voice was calm, with a chilling undertone.

Finally calming Shu Pan, Gu Shaoting accompanied her back to the bedroom. As she lay down, Shu Pan couldn’t find peace; her sleep was restless.

Observing this, Gu Shaoting didn’t hesitate to lie down beside her. He gently patted her back, then tightly embraced her.

As the night grew deeper, he silently stayed by her side, softly stroking her back.

In his arms, Shu Pan gradually settled down.

After a while, Gu Shaoting felt the even breathing of the person in his arms.

She’s asleep.

Gu Shaoting relaxed his grip, looking at Shu Pan’s calm face. His heart was filled with self-blame.

He hadn’t protected her well. Seeing her swollen face, with her eyelashes still trembling from the recent tears, cut through him like a knife.

Shu Pan slept for a while. Gu Shaoting wanted to retract his numb arm, but whenever he moved, Shu Pan would restlessly shift.

Gu Shaoting suddenly dared not move, afraid of disturbing Shu Pan’s sleep. He maintained the same posture until dawn.

In the morning, Shu Pan slowly opened her hazy eyes, her mind momentarily blank.

Suddenly, she felt warmth on her back, and a strong arm surrounded her waist.

Shu Pan immediately became alert, turning her face to see Gu Shaoting.

How did he end up sleeping next to her? Shu Pan was puzzled.

Suddenly, a scene flashed in her mind. In a daze, she grabbed his hand, not letting him go.

Shu Pan dared not think further, her face burning. She stared at him.

In his deep sleep, the coldness on Gu Shaoting’s face was gone. His high nose, slightly raised eyebrows, made him look gentle.

Shu Pan felt the arm across her waist tighten slightly, and her face heated up again.

Fortunately, Gu Shaoting was still asleep; otherwise, it would be awkward..
