"Daddy, scared..."
"Mama, scared..."
The four little ones were so frightened, An Jing and Xiao Changyi both felt deeply distressed and particularly anxious.
"Don't be scared, don't be scared, Daddy's here."
"Don't be scared, don't be scared, Mama's here."
An Jing and Xiao Changyi held their little ones tightly in their arms while continuously soothing them in gentle voices.
It wasn't clear whether it was An Jing and Xiao Changyi's comforting or the sense of security in their arms that worked, but as the four little ones wept, they gradually stopped crying. Their little bodies stopped trembling as well.
Feeling the children's change, An Jing and Xiao Changyi caught each other's eye, both letting out a huge sigh of relief.
An Jing and Xiao Changyi affectionately rubbed their faces against the little faces in their arms. The little ones immediately smiled, but their doe-like eyes still brimmed with tears, and their expressions revealed lingering fear.
