165. Eliminating the heart's troubles

Translator: anhnguyen12332

Xia Yao's cries weren't soft as that of a woman's, but was intense and gut wrenching. At first, he tried to appear unyielding, but soon gave in to the broken feeling gushing out from inside.

And that made Yuan Zong want to love him even more.

All of the pain and sorrow that have accumulated in Xia Yao's heart for the past few days cut through his cries, an unpleasant feeling suffocated his heart as the tears continued to rush down his cheeks without stopping. Xia Yao tugged at Yuan Zong's hair, bit his cheeks, punched his chest and screamed like a madman.

Yuan Zong ignored his tantrum, not bothering to offer any words of comfort. Instead, he merely used his large hand to gently wipe away the tears.

Xia Yao's cries finally receded into small hiccup sounds. His cheeks were still wet with fresh tears and the pillow beneath was also soaked in the salty liquid. There was no other sound in the bedroom other than the sound of Xia Yao's tears rolling down, but even still, the intense shine in his eyes never seemed to fade throughout the whole process.

Yuan Zong intently stared at the corner of Xia Yao's eyes where a droplet was threatening to fall, making his own red eyes burn.

Xia Yao's tears were still uncontrollably falling. Initially, Yuan Zong didn't want to coax Xia Yao but wanted to let him cry to release of all of the frustration, but his heart couldn't hold it anymore. A warm hand sneaked up Xia Yao's nape and buried his head into Yuan Zong's comforting shoulder.

"Don't cry. Listen to me."

Xia Yao's tears continued to soak Yuan Zong's neck.

Yuan Zong's heart was crushed by Xia Yao's tears, every coaxing sound was now more like a plea, "Baby (Baobei), don't make me cry with you."

Xia Yao opened his thin lips, taking a piece of skin right at Yuan Zong's neck into his mouth and gently sucked on it, like he was sucking blood.

After tormenting each other, Xia Yao lifted his thick lashes and peered into Yuan Zong's eyes.

"Do I seem like a woman now?"

Yuan Zong replied, "Yes, very pitiful."

Xia Yao felt like his eyelids weren't heavy with tears anymore, but was heavy with exhaustion. He quickly drifted off to sleep.

Xia Yao, not knowing how long he has slept, was suddenly woken by another person; his body still feeling unstable.

Xia Yao squinted at Yuan Zong, "What time is it?"
