Gu Xiao hugged the bowl of braised sliced pork belly with preserved mustard and cried in front of Chu An and Chu Zi.
She wasn't wailing, nor was her face covered in tears. Crystal clear tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes, quickly streaked across her cheeks, and then fell to the ground.
When she met Chu An and Chu Zi's slightly surprised gazes, she didn't realize that she was crying and only looked at the two of them in confusion.
Chu An hurriedly walked to Gu Xiao's side and hugged her.
"Xiaoxiao, don't cry. I'm by your side. I'll always be by your side."
Even Chu Zi, who had always been steady and calm, stood at the side at a loss. Seeing Gu Xiao, he wanted to comfort her, but didn't know what to say, he could only keep signalling at Chu An with his eyes.
Gu Xiao tightened her grip on the bowl and glanced sideways at Chu An. "I'm fine."
