    Highly recommended, it's really amazing! 1️⃣ Ji Ciqin's hand hovered in mid-air, hesitating for a moment before gently landing on her cheek. "Why are you crying..." His usually deep voice was tinged with desire, becoming hoarse and seductive, lacking its usual restraint. His cool fingers slowly wiped away the tears welling up at the corners of her eyes. 2️⃣ In the biting winter wind, it burned a hole into Jian Xianxia's soul. His voice was hoarse and suppressed, like the wind and sand grinding across a desolate field. "I wanted to kiss you, I wanted to all night."
