Chapter 496: Just Wanted a Hug

This time, the apology was much more sincere.

Seeing that things were over, the university chancellor asked everyone to scatter.

After this, Jian Yiling received another professor for the time that she was going to be on exchange. It was the first time that something like this had happened.

Then, Elder Yun spoke to Jian Yiling for a while. Before he left, he asked her to come over occasionally to talk to him.

After Elder Yun departed, Zhai Yunsheng gently tugged at Jian Yiling’s clothes and left the laboratory.

Zhai Yunsheng didn’t walk fast. As a result, Jian Yiling was able to keep up with him. However, she did not know where he was taking her.

Zhai Yunsheng stopped in the middle of a flight of stairs. There was no one around them.

Then, he turned around and said to Jian Yiling: “If you’re upset, you should voice how you feel.”

Jian Yiling paused for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Zhai Yunsheng’s handsome face with confusion. She saw the seriousness in his eyes.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng continued to speak: “I know that you don’t care much about those people. However, being wrongly accused is something that can make everyone upset. No one is an exception from this.”

Was Jian Yiling upset? Perhaps she wasn’t that upset.

However, she still had emotions and feelings.

Zhai Yunsheng knew that although Jian Yiling looked calm, there were still ripples inside of her heart.

Zhai Yunsheng wanted her to express how she felt.

Jian Yiling lowered her head for a moment. After thinking about it, she suddenly opened her arms and embraced Zhai Yunsheng.

She buried her head in his chest and rubbed against it twice.

Zhai Yunsheng’s whole body instantly stiffened.

He wanted Jian Yiling to express her sadness… However, he hadn’t expected that Jian Yiling would express herself like this…

Zhai Yunsheng’s arms were suspended in the air. He didn’t know where to put them.

After a long time, Jian Yiling let go of Zhai Yunsheng. She took a step back.

Once again, she lowered her face. This time, her cheeks were flushed red and it was as though she was incredibly embarrassed.

Jian Yiling knew that it was inappropriate for her to hug a man like this.

However, just now, she suddenly wanted to…

Zhai Yunsheng was also stunned.

It took Zhai Yunsheng a while to find his voice again.

“Why did you hug me?”

“Because… In the past… I… I just wanted to…”

Jian Yiling was quite young back then. In fact, she couldn’t remember exactly how old she was.

However, she remembered that a mother and daughter came to the institution where she used to stay.

The daughter was sick and thus, she came to the institution for treatment.

After having medicine, the little girl’s body felt uncomfortable. Back then, the little girl snuggled into her mother’s arms.

Jian Yiling had been watching from the side. At that time, she wanted to know if it would be comfortable to hug someone like that. She wanted to try rubbing her head against someone’s chest.

Zhai Yunsheng’s words just then made her memories surface again. It was okay to show sadness…

And when she looked at Zhai Yunsheng, she inexplicably wanted to hug him… She wanted to try snuggling into someone’s arms…

As Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling, for some reason, there was a bit of pain in his heart.

He didn’t feel ill nor sick. However, he just felt a strange sensation that he didn’t know how to express.

Zhai Yunsheng walked forward and gently hugged her: “Next time you’re sad, you can come and hug me. My arms will always be open for you. And they will only be open for you.”

As Jian Yiling was hugged by Zhai Yunsheng, she didn’t feel like there was a need to resist. She didn’t feel the urge to push him away either.

Instead, she felt rather warm.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head and said: “However, you must promise that you can only do this to me. Don’t hug anyone else. You hugged me first and therefore, you must take responsibility. If you don’t promise me, then you were being shameless and immoral for hugging me just now.”
