"What kind of request ?", Rong Xinghe furrowed her brows.
"He said that if we wished to make it up to him for his dreadful childhood, he could give us a chance.
"He requested us to treat his Xinghe with all the parental love, that he deserved. That young man wanted to trade his parents for you. For a single smile of yours. He said that he was used to living like that. Without parents.
"But it was impossible for him to see you like that. Falling apart. Breaking down. He wished that maybe, just maybe, his Mom and Dad could fill up the void, the emptiness in your life.
"That was when I realized how important you were to him. He is in love with you, Xinghe. Like no one ever could be. You are the reason he is living for. You are the reason he is breathing for. Wounds might be yours, but the pain is felt by him too.
