“I—I want tissues…” Mu Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly as she sniffed. Although the lights to the living room were not lit, she could feel that his shirt was already wet as she laid on his chest, and she didn’t want to inconvenience him further by wiping her snot on his shirt.

Yin Shaojie did not release her from his embrace, but he merely turned his body and reached out his long arm to get several tissues for her from the coffee table behind him.

“Does crying make you feel better?” he asked gently, unlike his usual tyrannical, rascally self.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and clasped her nose with the tissue.

Seeing that it was late and that the food delivery could arrive anytime soon, he asked, “Can we turn on the lights now?”

“Okay.” Mu Xiaoxiao nodded again, acting very obedient.

Yin Shaojie couldn’t help but smile. If this wretch usually behaved like this, how great would that be?

However, he thought that if she didn’t bicker with him, he might miss the fun.

Yin Shaojie let go of her. He grabbed a pillow from beside him and stuffed it into her bosom as a substitute in his place. He then got down from the sofa and went to switch on the lights.

Then, he went to the fridge to retrieve a bottle of mineral water.

“Drink some water.” He passed it over to her. It was only then that he saw that she had cried her eyes out, making her eyes bright red, redder than a rabbit’s eye.

He furrowed his brows and said, “Look at you. Your eyes are swollen from crying.”

Mu Xiaoxiao’s throat was dry from crying. After a few mouthfuls of water, she felt much more comfortable.

Having heard him, she realized that her eyes were dry and painful. She then held up the cold bottle and pressed it on her eyelids.

“You should drink more water. I’ll get another drink for you to ice the area”.

As he was speaking, Yin Shaojie went to the fridge again and took out a can of cola. He came back and placed the can on the coffee table in front of her.

Mu Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, and she gulped down half the bottle of water. She then held up the can of cola and iced her eyes, alternating sides every few seconds.

Yin Shaojie sat beside her, watching her, and he asked, “Are you hungry?”

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, still looking listless. Her wet, black eyes looked at him, and she said, “I want… to call my dad.”

“Okay. Go call him,” he replied, and he took out the phone from her bag and passed it to her.

Mu Xiaoxiao did not even need to move.

She took the phone and dialed her dad’s cell phone number.

With a few rings, the call was picked up.

Before her dad could make a sound, Mu Xiaoxiao was already choking up, and she called out softly, “Dad.”

Papa Mu’s voice was heard over the phone as he seemed to have noticed something odd with her. He asked, “Baby, what’s wrong?”

She had tried to repress her emotions, yet Papa Mu still picked up on it. Mu Xiaoxiao felt warmth in her heart.

“It’s nothing. I just missed you…”

“Daddy misses you too. Are you adjusting well back in China? How are you getting along with Little Jie?”

“Yeah… We… get along fine. Don’t worry, I’m doing well here. Daddy, when I’m not by your side, you need to take good care of yourself, alright?/”

Papa Mu laughed. Shouldn’t he be the one saying that?

“I got it. Daddy will take good care of myself. You should too. Don’t bully Little Jie, okay? The two of you should try to get along and cultivate your feelings.”

“I didn’t! He was the one who always bullied me…” Mu Xiaoxiao protested as she glared at Yin Shaojie.
