Alright?

He spoke like he was trying to cheer up a child, making Ji Yi's eyes fog and well up with tears.

Her eyelids concealed her eyes, so he couldn't see that the rims of her eyes were wet. All he knew was that she wasn't saying anything. After some time, he spoke again with a persuasive voice: ”I know you're feeling bad. If you don't want to say anything then let's not talk. I'll tell Chen Bai to call the chef and recite the menu. If you hear anything you want to eat, you can nod, alright?”

He said ”Alright” again and this time, it sounded even more gentle and affectionate. Ji Yi's heart suddenly shook when she heard it as a single tear inescapably fell from the corner of her eye and crashed down heavily.

Even though that tear fell on her fair hands, it felt like it fell on He Jichen's heart, drilling a hole straight through his heart.

”Why're you crying?” asked He Jichen naturally.

It would've been alright if he hadn't said anything at all. When he spoke, a single tear fell again.

He Jichen hurriedly reached his hand out and cradled Ji Yi's face. He used his thumb to gently wipe the tear from her face.

He had wanted to comfort her, but he never imagined that his comforting words would make her cry; her tears fell so suddenly like a collapsed river. The tears started to stream even more fiercely.

”There there, don't cry...” said He Jichen so quickly that he sounded muffled. He might as well have not said anything and kept his silence as he helped her wipe her tears, flustered. The more he wiped, the more tears there were on her face. He gradually started to feel helpless as Ji Yi let out a gentle sob.
