So, she didn't have to be so strong, didn't have to bear so much; she could... just be a child.
Chen Ye saw this, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but carry a hint of a smile,
This little girl pretends to be all grown-up every day, but she's actually just a girl...
If she is a child, she would want the protection of adults.
"Master."
After a long while, Zhiwei finally spoke again, her voice no longer calm, with a hint of longing that even she hadn't noticed,
"Then... then I ask Master to punish me."
"Hm." Chen Ye did not show mercy.
Actually, he didn't want to punish Zhiwei.
But since Qing Jun had been hit, it wouldn't be right to let Zhiwei off the hook.
...
After a round of punishment.
The big girl wasn't like Qing Jun; she didn't cry or scream, but that was within Chen Ye's expectations.
Zhiwei's nature was far more resilient than Qing Jun's.
"This is... Sister Bai must have secretly slipped this to me before, I... I only found out after I got back."
