"Eldest senior brother, can you turn on the light? It’s too dark in the room! I’m afraid of the dark!" It was only then that Jin Zelin spoke up. Suddenly, Jin Zelin realized a problem. Damn it, all his expressions had been wasted in the pitch darkness! This guy is afraid of the dark? A grown man admitting he’s afraid of the dark, truly not afraid of embarrassment! However, the next second, Qin Song remembered something from their childhood. Back then, Jin Zelin must have been only six or seven years old when he made a mistake and was punished by their master, locked in a dark room to reflect for a day. That time, Jin Zelin cried out loudly inside, his crying voice so pitiful, all the while sobbing, "Master, I was wrong, eldest senior brother save me... eldest senior brother save me..." The sound of Jin Zelin crying was truly heart-wrenching, so he pleaded with their master on Jin Zelin’s behalf, and later, the master said, "That child is too mischievous, he won’t learn his lesson without a punishment." But he still persisted. In the end, the master said, "Alright then, since you’re pleading for him, you can take his place for the remaining time..." When the master flipped the switch and opened the door of the dark room, all he saw was Jin Zelin trembling with fright. As soon as he saw Qin Song standing at the door, he threw himself into his arms, clinging to his waist, so tightly. "Eldest senior brother!" The tone of intimacy was just like seeing his own parents. Qin Song still remembers that Jin Zelin’s pretty little face was all tear-stained then, looking just like a small patchwork cat. Since then, for a long time Jin Zelin was too scared to sleep with the lights off, fearing the darkness as if he was back in that terrifying dark room. Latter on, in order to overcome this problem, when it was time for bed, Jin Zelin would run to his room, saying he wanted to be together... with someone by his side, even if the lights were off, he wouldn’t feel so scared. However... even so, he still remembered Jin Zelin having nightmares, yelling in his sleep, "Master, I don’t want to go into the dark room, eldest senior brother... save me!" This memory was probably the darkest history Jin Zelin would rather not look back on in his life! But now, even as an adult, he still brought up his fear of the dark... Yet Qin Song’s heart felt a warmth spreading within. Qin Song poured Jin Zelin another cup of hot water. He didn’t say a word, but Jin Zelin felt a warm feeling in his heart. After drinking, one feels thirsty, so... even though the eldest senior brother said nothing, he had already prepared the water for him, which made him very content. Yeah, the eldest senior brother didn’t ignore him! Speaking of which, he had used the excuse of being afraid of the dark to get the eldest senior brother to turn on the light, but in that instant, Jin Zelin also remembered what happened during his childhood. Originally, being locked in the dark room by their master was meant as a punishment, and it was supposed to last a whole day. But at that time, how could he know how terrifying it was to be confined in a place of complete darkness without a glimmer of light? Once he was actually locked in, he was truly terrified, feeling as if the darkness was full of demons and ghosts reaching out towards him with invisible hands... Damn, that was a form of psychological torment... Actually, Jin Zelin later understood that being locked in the dark room by their master was a form of mental training as well, to overcome their fears, because later on... they encountered many things even more horrifying than the dark room. But back then, he didn’t understand, he only felt fear! Content orıginally comes from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 That fear engulfed him gradually like a rising tide.
