"Xinxin…" the man visibly breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of him, his emerald eyes thawing like a clear stream flowing through a rainforest. His once neatly combed hair had become slightly tousled, with a curly strand falling over his forehead, evident that he had rushed all the way here.
"I came here as soon as I received the message. You…" pausing for a beat, he scanned Gu Luoxin from head to toe before taking one step closer, shutting the door behind him. "Are you okay?"
His voice, seemingly flat and emotionless, was tinged with a hint of barely perceptible concern.
Gu Luoxin bit down on his bottom lip. Hard.
Don't cry, he told himself once more. You must not cry now—not in front of him!
