Richard still let Niken hugged him and cried. One hand patted his sister's back gently while coaxing her with soothing words.
"Niken, you don't have to cry. I have no problem being your mo spirit."
"Sobs... sobs..." Niken couldn't reply to her brother's words and kept crying.
Richard did not know that Niken's life was short, which was why the young man was able to say that he did not mind being her mo spirit. Niken thought sadly.
"Yue'er,"
Niken's crying stopped when her brother called her by a name she had not heard for a long time.
Niken loosened her arms only to stare at her brother with tears in her eyes. Richard gently wiped the tears with his thumbs and offered a gentle smile.
"I know your lifespan is very short. I can feel it when you walk over here. Therefore, let me help you. If you accept me as your mo spirit, I won't let your lifespan reduce any more than this."
