Chapter 272: 161 Startled Little Rabbit (First Update)

Seeing Shen Xi after many days, Shen Xin’s heart instantly filled with grievance, and with a choked voice, she threw herself into Shen Xi’s arms, "Brother—brother—I finally found you! I finally found you!" Her slender fingers clutched tightly at the front of Shen Xi’s clothing, and crystal-clear tears fell on it, leaving mottled damp marks.

Shen Xi held Shen Xin tightly in his arms, listening to her sobbing, he felt as though his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, extremely uncomfortable.

Thinking of the days spent in fear, his eyes gradually moistened too. He blinked back the tears and reached out to pat Shen Xin’s back, soothing her in a soft voice, "Xinxin, don’t cry. Brother swears, I’ll never let you leave my side again, and I’ll protect you." As he said this, he reached out to cup Shen Xin’s cheeks, intending to wipe away the tears on her face, when he suddenly saw that the right side of her face was badly swollen.

She had an oval-shaped face, especially small and delicate, with skin so fair and tender, always looking so endearing. But now, her right cheek was grotesquely swollen, even showing clear fingerprints!

Shen Xi was not blind; how could he not see that his treasured younger sister, whom he had finally found, was clearly hit by someone!

This was utterly outrageous! Taking things too far!

His expression darkened instantly, his handsome face turned ashen, and his eyes flashed with a ferocity that did not match his gentle appearance. Carefully cradling Shen Xin’s face, Shen Xi asked through clenched teeth, "Xinxin, tell your brother, who hurt you? Does it hurt a lot?" His fingers lightly touched Shen Xin’s swollen cheek.

Shen Xin cried out in pain immediately, "Ah! Brother, don’t touch there, it hurts so much." As she spoke, her eyes quickly filled with tears, and shining tear drops hung from the corners, making her eyes even more beautiful.
