[ Shen Qingqiu braces himself under her silent reply.
He thinks this will be the tipping point where Pyra finally lets him have it. So he metaphorically toughens his face to prepare to be slapped, and steadies his insides as he prepares to be screamed at for being the worst person that she has ever met. See? Thinking all those things about me!! I don't know how you got all those ideas, but really, really!! I didn't mean to let you down so hard and so fast! I was sure the revelation wouldn't come for a long time! The blackening of his reputation, he can almost feel it!
Only what she does honestly surprises him. He doesn't resist being pulled into the sudden hug as he had been prepared to not resist being struck in the face -- fist or slap, it didn't matter now that he thought about it!! Huh? HUH! Hello? His entire body stills as he is held, as he is leaning slightly to rest his head on her shoulder and her hand against his head.
His lips press together a little at her words -- quiet and filled with pain. Shen Qingqiu really hates that this library is so incredibly dusty! When was the last time anyone came to this place? He should complain to the maid service. If it has time to make all those traps, then there should be an automatic service to get rid of the dust. Which to say, his eyes feel wet and if he closes his eyes, he's certain that some tears will fall.
Really, how much of a saint do you think I am when I make you cry? But he doesn't quite trust himself to say anything. It's the dust in the library! If he says something now, it'll sound like his words are all choked up. He can feel how his throat is contracting and he just knows it'll make more misunderstandings. So he is quiet as he loosely wraps his arms around her. There, there. I'm sorry. Okay? I'm sorry. ]
