"If you want to see me cry, I'll cry." His voice once again rang in the air.
Her eyes widened in shock, and her face was in disbelief. Did he say... He would cry?
"What's the matter?" he asked with a smile.
"You said, you..."
"If you want to see it, I'll do it. I'll try my best to do whatever you want," he said as he bent down slowly, his handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes.
Ling Yiran stared blankly at his face that was so close to hers. Her face was reflected in his dark pupils. He smiled and talked with a serious expression as if all she had to do was say ‘yes’ and he would cry and shed tears.
"Do you?" His voice rang again in her ear. His whispers were like the most touching sweet nothings.
Ling Yiran shook her head and replied, "No."
Her answer put a flash of doubt in his eyes. "Why?"
"Because I'll be distressed. If you cry, it means you're very upset, and I don't want to see you upset," she said.
His eyes gleamed. Her words were like a warm current, flowing into his ears little by little and seeping into his heart and lungs.
The world was full of people who wished him bad luck. Most of his friends respected and feared him, and his father had loved his mother so much that his father gave him little love. As for his mother, he was just a pawn for her. A pawn that would grant her access into a rich and powerful family.
Finally, when he could not play any role as a pawn, his mother turned away and no longer cared for him.
