Amused, Youyou tugged at his hand, pointing out what shouldn't be mentioned. "Are you crying?"

"No." Little Yichen denied it stubbornly, but anyone could hear that his voice was hoarse.

Little Yichen lowered his head and chuckled. "Yes…"

"Well then …" Youyou was full of anticipation as he asked, "Aren't you going to give me a hug?"

Little Yichen turned and finally looked at him.

Seeing his reddened eyes, Youyou chided, "Why are you crying? It's not as though I'm missing an arm or a leg. I look fine don't I?"
