Chapter 73 Lovers’ Tears Can Pierce the Heart

Ye Man tried hard to blink away the big tears in his eyes, but it was no use. No matter how hard he blinked, they wouldn't disappear. He then raised his sleeves and vigorously wiped the tears from his eyes, hoping to see the person in front of him clearly.

Even if it's just a blurry shadow.

"Aren't you going to break up with me?" Ye Man asked.

"Why should I break up with you?"

"Because... because I'm a bad person."

Xu Huaiting lifted his head and rested his forehead against his: "But I don't love you just because you are a good person."

Ye Man didn't understand.

Xu Huaiting's eyes flushed red as he stared deeply at the panicked, crying face in front of him, and used his own eyes to carefully describe the person in front of him: "There are too many good people in the world to count, but they are not you, so I will not love a 'good person', I just love you."

Tears gradually wet his eyes, but Xu Huaiting was reluctant to blink. He held Ye Man's head, and they leaned against each other like this, his throat choked with sobs: "But fortunately, the person I love is really a good person."

Ye Man's red and swollen eyes widened in shock.

He cried and said aggrievedly: "I didn't mean to protect him. I, I don't want to be his accomplice. Wu... Let him die——!"

Xu Huaiting held his face in his hands: "Xiaoman, listen to me, you are not his accomplice, it is not your fault, you have done very well, you are different from him, that person is not your father at all, you are a very good person, you deserve everyone to love you, I can see it, your real family loves you, Aunt Li loves you, your friends in the nursing home love you, your system loves you, everyone loves you..."

"I love you, too." He kissed away his tears.

"There will be many people who love you in the future, but I swear to you that I will be the one who loves you the most among all of them."

Xu Huaiting couldn't help but think of that afternoon in the salsa restaurant. How determined was Ye Man at that time, and how deep was his awareness, to decide to end his past with his life?

People around him looked at him as if he were a madman. The man shouted, cursed and threatened him. No one understood him. That method might not be good enough, but it was the last resort for a man who was forced into a desperate situation to save himself.

Those looks and doubts turned into knives that stabbed at Ye Man. Later, all these knives that stabbed at Ye Man also cut Xu Huaiting's heart into a bloody mess.

Before falling in love with someone, he had no idea that loving someone could be such a painful thing. It was as if the two souls were connected, and the dense and long pain flowed through every corner of the body along the connection.

I don't know that one day, even if I get hurt, I will happily hug him even though his body is full of thorns, walk close to him, and block all the thorns that are stabbing at me for him.

Xu Huaiting felt a suffocating feeling of powerlessness and despair.

The past has long been frozen. What should he do to save his beloved and pull him out of the quagmire of past pain?

He arched his straight and unyielding back in front of him and carefully wiped his lover's tears with his fingers, "Oh my God, why do you always treat the people I love so harshly?"

He clearly only wanted them to be happy.

The helpless sigh made Ye Man burst into tears even more violently.

It turns out that one day someone will call him like this in this tone.

It turns out that he will become someone's lover one day.

He can cry as much as he wants in front of him, even if his crying gives people a headache or causes trouble. When he feels painful, he can cry as much as he wants, because there will always be someone who has endless patience with him.

He will feel sorry for him, coax him, protect him, and cherish him.

Ye Man knew.

Only those who love him will feel distressed when he cries.

He asked with tears in his eyes, "Will everything be okay in the future?"

Xu Huaiting hugged him tightly and told him firmly: "It will happen."

Ye Man: “…”

Ye Man: "Wuwuwuwuwawawu ...

He held Xu Huaiting tightly like a koala.

Xu Huaiting stroked his back and head with his hand, letting him shed snot and tears all over himself.

On a deep winter night, Ye Man hugged Xu Huaiting and vented all the long-suppressed depression.

The crying sounded enough to alarm the neighbor's dog, which started barking one after another.

......

Inside the old house, the elders of the Chi family paced back and forth restlessly, reheating the dishes on the table over and over again.

Grandpa Chi poked his head out of the window like a thief and looked towards the door.

The old house is located in a valuable area and its land area is not too large. From the window, you can see the shadow of a person at the door.

But even if I couldn't see anyone, I could still hear Ye Man crying loudly.

She cried as if the sky was falling, which made the three ancestors of the Chi family feel uneasy.

"Oh no! Isn't that little girl Xiaoman's friend? Is there a grudge or something? Have we, the old guys, done something wrong?"

How old is he? How can he make his own child cry like this?

Grandpa Chi turned around and finally looked at the Hetian jade rockery on his antique shelf. "Give him this to polish it, and let him make a few rabbits, cats, dogs, etc. to play with. Do you think it can appease him?"

Chi Yanrong was amazed. The old man particularly liked this jade scene of his, a whole piece of natural jade. He spent a lot of money just to get that piece of stone. Later, he spent a lot of time and effort to hire a powerful master to make it into its current state. Usually, there are people who are responsible for taking care of it. How could he be willing to grind it to make a toy for Xiaoman?

Grandpa Chi was so embarrassed that he said, "Why are you looking at me? Am I his father or are you his father? Why don't you think of a solution?"

Doesn't he know what to give?

If an ordinary child was given a limited edition car or something, he might be happy for a while, but for Xiaoman... the situation is special, so I can't help but think more when giving something. Oh, I really don't know how to coax him.

This experience was quite rare for the three ancestors of the Chi family. Although there were two grandchildren in the family, neither of them was as lovable as the new one.

Grandpa Chi even secretly pulled Grandma Chi to say: "Xiao Man and Xiao Jue are obviously the same age, but Xiao Man feels younger. According to what the young people nowadays say, he feels like a grandson."

Maybe it was because the other two were too stable, so they, the old guys, didn't feel like they were coaxing children.

Grandma Chi glanced at him and said, "You can't tell. He is just trying to fool us."

She sighed.

"Xiaoman has suffered a lot."

His way of coaxing people is very deliberate. It is not the usual flattery of the people around him, but he carefully guesses the other person's preferences in his heart, and then pretends to be what the other person likes to cater to him. He keeps changing himself into various likable appearances to adapt to the environment around him. He can be a lovely grandson, an obedient son, a caring brother, a poor orphan, anyone, except himself.

No one is born like this. It is only after suffering that one gradually becomes like this.

"You all should take more care of him. The person is back, you can't let him continue to suffer like this. He is so young and has a long future ahead of him. How long can we old people accompany him? He is old and sick, and he is about to die." Grandma Chi's words were not critical, but they made people feel particularly uncomfortable.

The whole family lowered their heads.

Grandpa Chi secretly hid at the back, he didn't see that much.

The whole family waited anxiously. If Chi Yan hadn't stopped them, someone would have gone to check on the situation. It was Chi Yan who said that Xiao Man needed some space for a while, and then resignedly sighed and said, "Mr. Xu will accompany him. It should be no problem to leave Xiao Man to him."

Grandma Qiao Jinrong: "Xiao Man and Mr. Xu are..."

Chi Yan nodded slowly.

Grandpa Chi's eyes widened, and his first reaction was to look at Chi Jue: "Why are both of you——"

Chi Jue's face flashed with embarrassment, "I've already broken up, Grandpa."

Grandpa Chi remembered something and looked at Chi Yan alertly. Chi Yan turned his watch and said calmly, "I plan to marry my family's company in the future, Grandpa."

After hearing this, Grandpa Chi kept muttering: "That doesn't have to be the case..."

As we were talking, we heard footsteps outside.

The handsome man, with wrinkled clothes and having been robbed, came back with the little blind man whose eyes were swollen like walnuts and who was following him sobbingly.

As soon as I came in, I was greeted by everyone's overly enthusiastic gazes.

Especially since Xu Huaiting was holding Ye Man's hand openly.

Ye Man had just cried and had used up all his strength. He didn't want to pay attention to anyone and focused all his attention on how to keep up with Xu Huaiting's footsteps. When he stopped, he quietly rubbed over, grabbed his clothes and hid behind him.

Facing the crowd, Xu Huaiting did not dodge or evade, but smiled politely and said, "I am sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, could you please tell me where Xiaoman's room is? I will take him back to his room to tidy up and change his clothes before coming down."

His attitude was so natural that no one noticed anything was wrong.

Grandpa Chi was so frightened that he raised his hand, pointed him in a direction and told him the location.

Xu Huaiting nodded, and openly carried his little blind boy back to the room together.

After everyone left, the air became quiet.

Grandpa Chi's hand trembled before he could put it down: "What is he doing..."

Shock was written all over his face, and he couldn't think of a good way to say it. He tried to hold it in for a long time, until his face turned red, and he blurted out, "He thought he was a newlywed returning home?"

That was Ye Man's room, not his! Their house had a guest bedroom and a shared bathroom, so there must be a place for him to clean himself. So he just went back to the same room with Ye Man?
