She kept comforting Ning Yu while half-squatting on the ground. She knew that Ning Yu couldn't ignore her mother, who might have been implicated because of her.

After an unknown amount of time, the crying sounds of the people in his embrace gradually weakened. Zhan Xiaolou lowered his head to look and it seemed that he had fallen asleep.

Her long eyelashes were still covered in tears, and her face finally calmed down. She was like a child who had lost all sense of the world and was in a deep slumber.

It had been a few days since he had a good night's sleep. Zhan Xiaolou didn't want to wake him up, so he stayed in a half-squatting position. His legs were already numb from the pain, but he still clenched his teeth and persevered.

A sudden gust of wind blew past and swept up the dust on the ground. Ning Yu woke up abruptly and quickly came out of Zhan Xiaolou's embrace. When he saw the pained expression on her face, he immediately reacted to what had happened.

A strong sense of guilt welled up in his heart once more.

He quickly reached out to help her, but Zhan Xiaoluo slowly stood up and shook his numb legs before looking at Ning Yu, who was on the verge of tears.

Zhan Xiaolou chuckled and joked, ”Stop crying. My legs are numb from the pain. I still haven't cried. Are you still sleeping comfortably?”

Ning Yu felt embarrassed. Her face was a little red, and she bit her lower lip, not daring to look at her.

After she stood for a while, she felt that her legs had regained their senses. She reached out and grabbed Ning Yu's hand, walking forward. ”Let's go. I'll bring you out for some delicious food.”

She only continued to pull him forward, but she didn't see the shock and helplessness on Ning Yu's face behind her. He stared fixedly at her back. At this moment, he couldn't tell if his heart was happy or sad.

He had always dreamed that Lou Cheng would bring her along when he left, and he had always dreamed that she would lead him by the hand. But he never imagined that this fantasy would come true and that the real price would be his mother's life …

Zhan Xiaolou brought Ning Yu to the Plethora Gem Tower.
