The girl's cries spilled out from behind the slightly ajar door, silencing everyone outside, even those making phone calls tried to keep their voices as low as possible, as if they feared startling the girl who was sobbing bitterly.
The glass door parted, and Ji Qingqiu also stepped inside, noticing the unusual behavior of the crowd, she glanced curiously into the glass partition.
Noticing Li Hannian, who was half-kneeling by the couch holding Chu Nanxi entirely in his arms, Ji Qingqiu paused momentarily, then tiptoed back out.
Chu Nanxi's crying gradually subsided, changing from initial loud wails to sobs, and after that outburst, her mood and state of mind had calmed greatly.
Raising his hand to cradle her small face, Li Hannian touched himself, then remembered he hadn't worn his jacket.
Without a handkerchief, he lifted his palm and delicately wiped the tears from her face.
"Are you hungry?"
Chu Nanxi shook her head.
"Want some water?"
