Its okay to not cry (2)

"Are you feeling alright?" Mo Qiang asked as she wiped the tears off Shao Hui's lashes. "Do you want some water? I am carrying a bottle with me." 

"Y—yes please," Shao Hui croaked as he sniffed. He looked like an overgrown child as he wiped his face, eyes and nose which was dripping with snot. 

Mo Qiang took out the water bottle from her space ring and handed it to Shao Hui who took it and started gulping down water without pausing. 

His mouth had gone bone dry with all the crying he did.

"Really?" Xie Jie asked with a look of disbelief on his face. They were supposed to be supporting and comforting Mo Qiang and Yin Fu instead of asking them to support them instead. 

He had explained this matter to Shao Hui earlier and even asked him to keep his wits intact and yet the mer was crying and sobbing as if the world was coming to an end and he had no way out of this tragedy.
