"Ziyang, catch!" Tianxin picked an apple and tossed it down to Ziyang, who was standing under the tree.

"Hurry and come down!" Ziyang caught the apple and put it in the bag, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on Tianxin up in the tree.

The little girl was so bold, watching her from down here made his heart race!

He was really afraid she might fall!

"Just two more and I’ll come down." Tianxin was having a great time picking apples up there and didn’t want to come down at all!

"Hurry up; we can fish over there!" Ziyang said to lure her down, thinking it was too dangerous for her to stay in the tree any longer.

"Okay!" Tianxin nodded, picking the last apple and throwing it to Ziyang.

She cautiously climbed down, holding onto the branches, slowly making her way down.

"Take it slow."

"Okay."

Tianxin’s large eyes darted around, and just as she was still a bit above Ziyang’s reach.

She suddenly let go—

"Ah, Brother Ziyang~" she screamed in fear, eyes shut tight, betting on whether Brother Ziyang could catch her.

If he didn’t catch her... she’d have a terrible fall...

To her satisfaction, she landed in a warm embrace and could hear his rapid breaths.

His hands held her tightly, afraid she might fall again.

Tianxin happily opened her eyes, reaching out to hug Ziyang’s neck, "I knew Brother Ziyang would catch me!"

After speaking, she realized Ziyang’s face was dark with anger.

Guiltily, she swallowed and blinked sideways, not daring to look at him...

"Stand properly!" Ziyang put her down, making her stand by herself.

His gaze was sharp as he scrutinized her, realizing she did it deliberately!

Didn’t she know how he felt seeing her fall down!

How scared he was that he wouldn’t catch her, and she’d hurt herself on the ground.

What if something happened to her...

"Brother Ziyang, I’m sorry..." Tianxin lowered her head and apologized softly.

"Foolish!"

"Brother Ziyang..." Tianxin noticed Ziyang’s slightly trembling hand.

Feeling sorry, she stepped forward to hold his hand, knowing it was trembling from the force he used to catch her.

Ziyang shook off her hand, taking a few steps to pick up the apple and left.

Tianxin followed him, talking non-stop to please him, but Ziyang remained silent.

They went fishing, and Ziyang still didn’t speak to her.

Even during dinner, he didn’t speak to her, and Tianxin was on the verge of tears from frustration.

She’d apologized, knew her mistake, and promised never to do it again.

Why wouldn’t Brother Ziyang pay attention to her...

After dinner, back at the hotel, Ziyang went to the front desk to book another room.

He had Tianxin stay in her own room, and knowing this made her shed tears of sadness.

She didn’t argue and quietly took her luggage to the new room, feeling dejected.

Seeing her upset expression made Ziyang feel bad too.

He was indeed angry about her deliberate fall that afternoon, but separating rooms wasn’t because of that.

The main reason was because he feared he might lose control...

With only the two of them away, he was losing confidence in controlling himself...

The next morning.

Before Ziyang woke up, Tianxin came knocking at his door.

He got up to open the door, seeing Tianxin standing there with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, Brother Ziyang. I went out to buy breakfast; let’s eat together!" She entered the room before Ziyang could respond.

Afraid, if she was too slow, Brother Ziyang might send her away again...

Last night she slept in a room alone, feeling scared but too afraid to find him.

Brother Ziyang was still mad, so she got up early today to buy breakfast to please him~

Ziyang closed the door, walking into the room to see Tianxin laying out the breakfast she bought.
