Vol 9 Chap 297 - Make a little girl cry

XH 297 - Make a little girl cry

Liang Shan, the noble Yellow Dragon, had never thought he would one day make a little girl cry. It might make him feel a bit better if she had cried from fear of his tyrannical presence.

"Sincere apologies for our rudeness," Duan XiYing apologized respectfully, as she had insisted on Liang Shan to step out of the tent the moment Xiao Hua's wounded deer-like eyes started to produce waterworks.

Standing beside Duan XiYing, Da Bei also helped by bowing in apology.

《I have spoken insensitively. 》 Liang Shan does not mind being ushered out, for his words would not be able to appease her.

Her tears started after he had questioned if she could demonstrate her tea brewing again, to see if he could trace the lingering traces of the source of power before the trail went cold.

Among them, only her father, Bai Chuan, could soothe her pain and be welcomed. Da Bei understands that too and leaves the father and daughter alone to talk.

"It is something that Xiao Hua had to overcome sooner or later," Duan XiYing gave an excuse to pardon Liang Shan.

《It should not be my words to push her to confront it.》

His words sounded like he was pushing the blame onto another, but that was not his intention. Liang Shan was not the type that was too proud to not admit his own mistakes. What he meant was the young girl could have taken time to accept her loss if he had not pushed the issue. If not, she could have maintained her dignity.

Inside the tent, Xiao Hua was weeping silently in Doctor Bai's wide arms, who was radiating paternal concern. The system had helpfully set up a soundproof barrier so that they could speak without worry.

She was still aware not to brawl like a giant baby as she cried and Bai Chuan comfortingly patted her back and lent her his chest to cry on.

She had not cried this much when she knew she was going to die and left her mother alone. She had not even cried when she was relieved to be alive and back in Long Zhu's arms.

Yet, Liang Shan's words worked well to dig into the wound in her heart deeper. Her inner wall that was separating her heart from her feelings finally fell and the tears that had waited for their debut finally gushed out of her eye sockets like a river.

The accumulated loss was too much for Xiao Hua to bear at the short amount of time that was actually within a day.

After a good crying session and also soaked half of Bai Chuan's top, Xiao Hua finally collected her scattered mind and urged her heart to settle down, attacking the depression viciously in her heart away with positive thoughts.

"S-Sorry for crying so suddenly." Xiao Hua light laughter sounded forced to Bai Chuan's ears.

"It's alright to cry. Every loss has its right to be mourned." Bai Chuan pulled out a white napkin and gently wiped Xiao Hua's tear-filled face that was red from the crying.

"Your clothes are wet- hiccup!" Xiao Hua's crying was strong enough that she brought the abysmal hiccup series to life.

Xiao Hua's aggrieved expression when she continues to hiccup involuntarily brought a small smile on Bai Chuan's face. He covered his smile by creating water and manipulated the temperature to turn it into a big ice cube. Wrapping the ice ball with another clean white napkin, he tentatively pressed it onto Xiao Hua's red-eyed sockets that had already begun to swell from her crying.

If she stepped out now, everyone will immediately know she had cried just from seeing her. It will further stimulate the news of her inability to brew the medical tea anymore.
