Arc 7 (9). Are My Dad and Teacher In love?

"A... Are you crying?"

Zhao Fang stuttered, the foreign sight shocked him.

Li Huan glared at him before touching his cheeks.

"I- I'm not!" Li Huan aggressively started wiping the tears but they kept coming back.

"..." Zhao Fang sat down on the ground beside the other.

"It's okay..." His eyes gradually softened, his hands clenching into fists.

He couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth.

"... A lot of people are afraid... Even I, am afraid of thunderstorms" Zhao Fang grinned in an attempt to calm the other down.

Li Huan stayed quiet, his tears now flowing freely as he stopped wiping them.

"Who said I'm scared..." Li Huan muttered, curling into a ball, hiding his face.

"I did" Zhao Fang's grin slowly formed into a soft smile when he heard a low chuckle from the other.

--

A few minutes had passed.

It has been a while since Li Huan stopped crying.

Both of them just sat in silence when Zhao Fang broke it.
