132. Chapter 132 Warm Embrace

The night was so quiet, so pale without moonlight; likewise my heart felt so lonely and desolate, devoid of any warmth.

With my back to the door, I eagerly hoped Shangguan Yun would return and hold me tightly to give me some warmth, but I dared not turn to look at the door, because I was afraid—afraid of something I didn't know what. Just afraid, nothing but fear...

I kept sobbing silently, my hands and feet had gone numb, a cold numbness, numb and insensate; my whole body was nothing but cold, I had lost all sensation, feeling nothing at all.

I don't know how long passed, time slowly drifted on, I didn't know how late it was, nor what hour it was...

My stomach cramped from crying, it hurt so much, so much...

After a while, I felt someone open the door and come in, but I dared not turn to look; my nerves remained tightly wound, tense, tense...

But I was still afraid, a fear from deep within; although I knew in my heart it was likely Shangguan Yun returning, I never dared to lift my head, burying it deep in my knees, deep and deep...

Gradually I felt a warm breath coming over.

"Why are you sitting on the floor? Your whole body is so cold." Hearing Shangguan Yun's pained voice, I finally dared to confirm that it was indeed him who had returned.

Shangguan Yun gently lifted me onto the bed, thoughtfully covering me with a blanket, and said: "What's wrong? Your eyes are red and swollen from crying; it's all my fault, my fault."

Shangguan Yun, face full of self-reproach, held me in his embrace, saying as I leaned against his broad chest, a trickle of warmth spread through my body, yet I still felt cold, so cold...

"I, I'm cold..." I said to him with a choking voice.

Shangguan Yun tightly held me in his arms and gently said: "Still cold? Silly, why were you sitting on the floor."

I didn't speak, my whole body shivered from the cold, trembling all over...

Tears kept streaming down; Shangguan Yun lightly kissed away my tears and said: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have lost my temper and left, please don't cry, okay? Your eyes are swollen, your tears feel like knives stabbing into my heart drop by drop, do you know how painful that is?"
