As Lin Yiqian spoke, she pulled Gu nianjia’s blanket up.
“Sister-in-law.”
Gu nianjia refused to let go of Lin Yiqian’s hand as her eyes and nose turned red.
“Yeah.” Lin Yiqian sat down and replied softly.
He was so careful that even his breathing was filled with care.
“Did I …” Gu nianjia stammered.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Yiqian frowned.
“Am I not clean?” Gu nianjia bit her lower lip as she looked at Lin Yiqian with teary eyes.
The terrifying memory, the pain in her lower body, she panicked and didn’t know what to do.
She had wanted to ask this for a long time, but she didn’t dare to. She was afraid, too afraid.
Lin Yiqian’s eyes widened. She did not expect Gu nianjia to be worried about that.”No.” She bent down to hug Gu nianjia as she shook her head.
Lin Yiqian’s hands moved past Gu nianjia’s neck as she hugged her tightly.
His heart ached terribly.
“They…They took off my clothes.” Gu nianjia’s voice was trembling.
This was her deepest memory, a scene that kept appearing in her dreams.
She resisted with all her might and shouted.
But those people just wouldn’t let her go.
The more she spoke, the more her body trembled.”Don’t let your imagination run wild. You’re still you. Apart from some minor injuries, nothing has changed,” Lin Yiqian comforted her in a loud voice.
Lin Yiqian s
lowly let go of Gu nianjia and looked down at her.
Meanwhile, Gu nianjia’s face and eyes were filled with tears.””You don’t have to comfort me.”
“Jiajia.”
“They did check your body. They didn’t do anything to you,” Lin Yiqian said as she placed a hand on Gu nianjia’s forehead to comfort her.
Lin Yiqian looked into Gu nianjia’s eyes as she spoke in a very serious and sincere manner.
He didn’t seem to be lying.
“Really?” Gu nianjia tugged at Lin Yiqian’s clothes excitedly as she looked at her with tears in her eyes.
“It’s true.” Lin Yiqian nodded with certainty.
Then, he gave her a consoling smile and gently stroked her head.
This was the best way to calm one’s emotions. Gu nianjia’s worries gradually disappeared as she calmed down.
As Gu nianjia let go of Lin Yiqian’s clothes, she lifted both her arms and hugged Lin Yiqian tightly.””Sister-in-law, I miss uncle.”
At that moment, she wished that her uncle could be by her side.
She missed his black shirt and his tall figure, and she felt a little safe.
At this point, Lin Yiqian could not be bothered to talk to Gu nianjia about ethics. All she wanted to do was to calm him down. “He’s not in the capital and won’t be here anytime soon. I’ll tell him, okay?”
He spoke in a tone that was used to coax a child.
“Yeah.” Gu nianjia nodded.
As she slowly let go of Lin Yiqian, her hands began to slide down Lin Yiqian’s bac
k.
Lin Yiqian straightened her back as she sat on the edge of the bed.””It’s your 20th birthday this weekend. Do you have any birthday wishes?”
At the mention of her birthday, Gu nianjia recalled song Feifei’s words.
“That house was originally a gift for your twentieth birthday, but because I said I liked it, Auntie gave it to me …”
A flash of hatred appeared in her eyes, and her face turned cold.
She shook her head.”No, I don’t want to celebrate my birthday. I don’t want anything.”
As she spoke, she pulled the blanket up and covered herself tightly.
