Chapter 809: Puzzling 12

But Shangguan Yun laughed and said, 'No need, your hands are much warmer than a hand warmer. I just need your hands.' Shangguan Yun pulled me as he spoke.

He was afraid I would leave.

'But my hands are turning ice‑cold; I worry that in your hands it'll be uncomfortable, and I need to be careful.' I truly felt sorry for Shangguan Yun.

'It's fine, I don't want you to leave me; just stay with me. Really, if I could choose, I'd rather you stay here with me than go buy me a hot water bottle. Don't leave, okay?' Shangguan Yun looked at me with a sorrowful gaze and said.

I don't understand why Shangguan Yun has this expression; could it be that someone abandoned him before? Otherwise, how could…

Since Shangguan Yun said that, I couldn't possibly leave, so I smiled, gave him a reassuring smile, and said, 'How have you become so delicate? I could go anywhere; there's a supermarket nearby, I could run there and back in five minutes. But if you don't let me go, I won't go—I'll just stay quietly by your side.' I said with a smile.

'Mm, lean back into my embrace again.' Shangguan Yun then pulled me into his arms and said.

'Shangguan Yun, you're the patient, I'm not; leaning like this in your arms, others can't bear to watch.' I said with a smile.

'Then are you suggesting I lean into your embrace? That would be even harder for others to bear.' Shangguan Yun smiled helplessly and said.

'I didn't say that; at least let me not lean into your embrace. Anyway, I'll go pour a cup of hot water to warm your hands—your hands are really icy. I feel sorry for you.' I said, feeling sorry for Shangguan Yun.

Perhaps seeing how concerned I was for him, Shangguan Yun nodded in agreement.

After I poured it, the water was quite hot; I was afraid his hands would be scalded if I gave it to him straight away, so I let the water cool a bit before placing it in his hands.

I consider myself thoughtful—heaven knows I've never done such things for my own family. Shangguan Yun, Shangguan Yun, I've been more than good enough to you.
