Sparkling, translucent teardrops began streaking across Bai Wu's cheek; they fell silently onto the floor. It was like a thousand catties worth of force smashing into Xu Lan's heart and destroying it beyond recognition. He stared inanimately at the profusely-tearing Bai Wu.
"I- I did that for your good," Xu Lan explained hoarsely.
"I know it's for my good. Papa's always considerate toward me, and Papa even wanted to find a girlfriend for me! But have you ever considered how I feel?" Akin to the lamentable groan of a dragon, Bai Wu asked disappointedly.
"They all said I've never given you a sense of security. Is that true?" Xu Lan questioned uneasily.
"Yes! Never! Never have you ever! You blindly impose upon me what you think is best for me, but you not once have you considered whether it was something I really wanted! Xu Lan, I'm no longer your son, I'm your lover! We are equals!"
