Chapter 548: How Much Longer Will it Take?

“Miss, be careful!”

Yao instinctively reached out to stop her.

Dan Hanjie could lose control at any moment, and if he came to his senses and found out he had hurt Qin Youxuan, he might truly break down.

“He’s not dangerous!”

Qin Youxuan turned her head and shouted, “The most terrifying thing for me is him not wanting me, I believe, no matter when, he won’t hurt me.”

“…”

Yao’s body froze, and in the next second, he was forcefully pushed away by Qin Youxuan, who turned around and ran upstairs quickly.

“What are you dazed for! Actually letting her go up there, if something really happens to her, Jie will skin you!” Rui Hui gritted her teeth in the living room and turned to run after them.

“Maybe Miss is right, the only person who can make Mr. Jie mindful even when he’s out of control, is Miss.”

Yao’s eyes flickered slightly, every word echoing, “When we were all helpless against Mr. Jie’s fury, Mr. Zexian called for Miss, which made Mr. Jie pause for a few seconds, and gave him a chance to knock him out and take him away.”

“…”

Rui Hui stiffened, turned her head to look at him, thought for a moment before shaking her head, “Maybe you’re right, but that’s not a reason for her to take risks.”

Rui Hui quickly followed after, and when she came to the study room door, she saw Qin Youxuan sitting at the door, hugging her knees, resting her chin on her knees, sitting there without moving.

Seeing Rui Hui come over, Qin Youxuan’s eyes were red, she looked at the closed door, “He won’t let me in.”@@novelbin@@

“Maybe he needs to calm down a bit, you don’t have to put too much pressure on yourself.” Rui Hui reached out to pull her up, but Qin Youxuan shook her head, refusing to get up.

Her head leaning against the door, she spoke very loudly, “Dan Hanjie, if you want to isolate yourself, I will accompany you, if you won’t come out, I won’t leave, if you won’t eat, I’ll starve with you, if you won’t sleep, I’ll force myself not to fall asleep even if it kills me…”

Qin Youxuan choked back a sob and took a deep breath.

Without expecting a response from Dan Hanjie, she paused for a few seconds before looking towards Rui Hui.

“I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me, for the sake of Dan Hanjie, I won’t let myself collapse.”

“…”

Rui Hui met her firm gaze and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Hesitating for a while, she turned around and left.

…

So, it went like this: Dan Hanjie had locked himself in the study, and Qin Youxuan had bound herself outside of the study door.

The day was better, but when it came to night, Qin Youxuan, both hungry and tired, was leaning against the door, her eyelids drooping as if she would fall asleep at any moment.

“Ah——”

Pinching herself harshly, Qin Youxuan winced in pain and couldn’t help but yell out.

The sleepiness was instantly frightened away.

She sniffled and started staring at the door again.

He had locked himself in there for a whole day, how much longer would it take?

It wasn’t his fault, why should he bear all this…

Qin Youxuan’s eyes stung, and she held back her tears, trying to keep her emotions steady.

No matter what terrible things he had experienced, she only needed to remember that each time she was most helpless and scared, it was Dan Hanjie who had stood by her side.

Now that he can’t walk out of his own psychological shadows, it’s her turn to accompany him.

If he can’t overcome it in a day, she’ll accompany him for a day.

If it takes him a year, she’ll accompany him for a year.

If he can’t get over it in a lifetime, she’ll accompany him for a lifetime…

She believed that one day, he would surely be able to let go of his mental burden and find his way back to being the Dan Hanjie she knew.

…

“What you’re doing is quite foolish.”

Nearing ten o’clock, Diwu Zexuan’s tall figure appeared.
