Chapter 869: Chapter 869: Ancient-to-Modern Shark People VS Death-Seeking Starlet (Part 10)
But the reaction of the person in his arms couldnât deceive him.
Feng Cheng slowly held her, gently stroking Lian Yangâs smooth, deep blue hair as he softly comforted her.
Gu Shengyin gradually calmed down, but fear still lingered in her eyes as she pointed at the television and said to Feng Cheng, âShe⊠bad person!â
Feng Chengâs movement paused.
It was the first time he saw Lian Yang display such intense emotions, and it was directed at a stranger.
Could it be that she had seen her before?
No, Feng Cheng dismissed the thought.
When Lian Yang first appeared, her unfamiliarity and curiosity about the surroundings couldnât deceive anyone; he was the first human she saw.
Then why would she feel fear?
Whom is she afraid of? The little celebrity endorsing the drink? Or something else?
Feng Cheng patiently waited, and soon the commercial replayed. He sensitively noticed Gu Shengyinâs body tremble, shivering slightly.
Feng Cheng felt a bit heartbroken.
Since the first moment he saw this little shark person, he felt such a precious gift from the heavens should be cherished and loved.
He gave her the best food, the best care, yet still felt he was not good enough to her, only regretting he couldnât be even better to her.
He loved seeing her smile; her smile was even more dazzling than the brightest sunshine, capable of melting his heart into a pool of warmth.
But what had she gone through? Why did the advertisement provoke such a fearful reaction from her?
At this thought, he suddenly turned Gu Shengyin around, only to find her big emerald-like eyes filled with tears, stubbornly unwilling to fall.
Gu Shengyin wasnât putting on an act; the moment she saw Shao Zi, the bodyâs instinctive aversion and rejection prompted her unconscious reaction.
During those dark days, Lian Yangâs deepest wish was for someone to come and rescue her.
Yet no one did.
So, feeling Feng Chengâs cherishment and care, she couldnât help but let the tears flow.
Feng Cheng watched this expression on Gu Shengyin, feeling as if the softest part of his heart was being pierced, an agonizing pain.
He wrapped her entire body in his embrace, bringing their foreheads together, softly soothing her: âLian Yang, donât be afraid, donât be afraid, Feng Cheng is here; no one can harm you, donât be afraid, donât be afraidâŠâ
The tears that had pooled in Gu Shengyinâs eyes finally began to fall.
The moment the transparent droplets touched the air, they instantly transformed into smooth, round beads, gently falling onto Feng Chengâs clothes.
Unable to help herself, Gu Shengyin extended her hand to encircle Feng Chengâs back; the scent this man carried reassured her.
The person in his arms finally quieted down.
Feng Cheng stopped moving his hand. Leaning over to look, he found the person in his arms had fallen asleep.
He chuckled wryly and glanced at the few pearls on his clothes.
Each the size of a thumb, smooth and round in shape, absolutely superior grade pearls.
Shark Peopleâs tears turning into pearls was indeed true.
But just thinking that these pearls were formed from Lian Yangâs tears couldnât make Feng Cheng happy.
His Lian Yang should always be joyful, cherished for a lifetime, and tears were not suitable for her.
He put those pearls in his pocket, prepared to carry Gu Shengyin back to the pool. But just as he was about to let go, Gu Shengyin suddenly awoke.
