Xu Lan’s Moment of Weakness

"The truth is, he only kicked me that one time. When he was drunk, he even hugged me and cried. After that, he just looked at me while others beat me up. He didn't want to get his own hands dirty."

"Mm, you'll have me in the future." Bai Wu lifted Xu Lan by the chin and kissed him right above the eyebrow.

The scar slanted horizontally across his supraorbital ridge, and the flesh that covered it up looked exceptionally menacing. Bai Wu, however, found it cute, and could not resist kissing it once more.

"They always beat me. I was always admitted to the hospital. They called me a b*stard and peed on me."

"Just let your tears flow out. I'll be here to wipe them." With an even tighter hug, Bai Wu whispered in Xu Lan's ear.

Xu Lan started sobbing softly. Bai Wu began patting him on the shoulder and waited for him to relax.

"Can't we just be on good terms with each other? I will make good on my promise." Xu Lan changed the subject abruptly.
