Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 784 Comfort

Wu Xunsheng answered: "To be honest, I felt that he was testing me to see if I could personally prove that it was Nie Yangwei who injured Jian Rou. Later, he saw that I would never do what he wanted, but he was worried that I would see through his true intentions, so he deliberately expressed his confidence in me and said that he was testing me before, hoping that I would mistakenly think that he was testing me to see if I would protect Nie Yangwei because of coercion and inducement from others."

Tie Hongyan said: "I felt the same way when I heard you say that."

"I think he wants to use my guilt towards Jian Yueyang and my inner pain to make me testify for Nie Yangwei." Wu Xunsheng said. He mentioned twice that he felt guilty and in pain because of Jian Rou's matter. Although the guilt and pain did not really ease, he didn't know why he suddenly felt a little better. He felt that some things were not convenient to say to others, so he kept them in his heart. Even his four subordinates didn't hear him say them. He originally just told the actual situation because he wanted to analyze the matter with Tie Hongyan, but after mentioning it twice, he secretly felt that he seemed to have confided something to the right person.

Tie Hongyan looked at him and could sense the guilt and pain he was talking about in his eyes. She felt something in her heart that she couldn't even explain. She said to him, "I understand your feelings, but I hope you won't continue to suffer."

Although what she said was not long, he felt that her eyes were very sincere. He suddenly felt a little more comfortable, as if what he needed in his heart was exactly the comfort from her, even if it was just one or two words.

Wu Xunsheng couldn't help but stare into her eyes, but suddenly realized something and immediately looked away. After saying "yes", he continued, "He said he was testing me before, and then he said there was a way that could really alleviate my pain."

Tie Hongyan asked: "What method?"

Wu Xunsheng was about to answer, but because he was sleepy, he yawned twice.

"Are you too tired?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Wu Xunsheng first said, "Maybe I didn't get enough rest, so I'm just a little sleepy." Then he said a little unnaturally, "He told me to spend more time with Jian Yueyang, so that I can feel better. He even told me that if there are things that don't require my participation, I can explain the situation to you. Jian Yueyang needs... needs my company during this difficult time. But he also said that I should not delay those things that require my participation."

Tie Hongyan had to deal with too many things in the tribe recently, and she wanted to do everything as quickly as possible, so she seldom rested and was extremely tired. That was why she fell asleep on the table while looking at the information that day. She was so busy that she couldn't breathe, but some things were not suitable for anyone other than Wu Xunsheng to do. She looked for Wu Xunsheng that day just to ask him to help her with something. Hearing him say that, she thought: Forget it, I'd better not ask him for help. He looks very tired. He already has a lot of pressure, and he has to spend more time with Jian Yueyang. I won't add more pressure to him. Maybe spending more time with Jian Rou can really alleviate his inner pain. I'll grit my teeth and hold on.
