Have you never smiled before?
Jiang He was silent for a while, trying hard to give him a smile.
"Stop smiling, it makes me nervous."
Xu Qing hugged her tightly, "It's not that you can't, you're just not used to it.
It will get better with time."
"Will it get better?" Jiang He realized what was different about herself after he mentioned it.
Her family was always happy and joyous, while she could only manage a smile—it was just a slight upturn of her mouth corners, a way to join in with them.
She could understand why they laughed at the TV, why they found something funny, but she still didn't feel like laughing.
"Of course, it will. When you go out for a walk, don't you smile at Mrs. Cheng, and at Mr. Zhao... even though you become serious as soon as you start talking, it's a lot better than at the beginning," said Xu Qing, comforting her.
