Chapter 94: Chapter 88: May I Borrow Your Shoulder?

Teardrops the size of beans fell onto the back of her hand.

Zhan Qipei saw this scene, and his heart inexplicably clenched.

When it came down to it, this was the first time he had seen her cry.

In his memory, she always had a frosty demeanor, as if little could move her, and she definitely hadn’t lost control of her emotions like she was now.

“You—”

Before Zhan Qipei could finish his sentence, Qiao Jing stood up, grabbed her suitcase, and returned to her room.

Zhan Qipei kept gazing at the tightly shut door, and even though he couldn’t see anything, he couldn’t help but keep staring.

In the room, Qiao Jing plugged the USB drive into her laptop.

She clicked play.

The video showed a room filled with pink decorations.

Qiao Jing saw a baby lying on the bed—it was her.

“Baby, mommy bought you a new toy.”

Upon hearing the gentle woman’s voice, Qiao Jing’s pupils dilated, and tears gushed forth, immediately blurring her vision.

The woman finally appeared in the frame.

Fearing that she wouldn’t see the woman’s face clearly, Qiao Jing hurriedly swept her hand across her eyes with the back of her hand, wiping away the tears so that her view became somewhat clearer.

Finally!

She saw her biological mother!

She had seen photos of her mother before, but she had never seen such a vivid image.

The woman in the video, gentle and affectionate, placed the new toy in the small infant’s palm.

“Do you like it, baby? Mommy also bought you some yarn, and I’ll knit you a little sweater later. Winter is coming, and it’s going to snow soon. We can’t let our little treasure get cold, can we?”

While speaking, the woman gently rubbed her cheek against the infant’s face.
