Feng felt completely helpless. He didn't know what he could do or say to make her stop crying. Her hiccups came more rapidly and he was patting her on the back, trying to calm her down.
"Why won't you talk to me…?" he asked her nervously. He didn't have much experience when it came to consoling women. The last person who cried so much in front of him was his mother, when his dad had passed away. And even then, he didn't know what to say to make the tears stop. He felt helpless.
"I just don't know…" she responded sadly, before hiccuping again. "I…I just…"
"Slowly…" he said, wiping another tear from her cheek with his thumb. "Tell me slowly. I will be here with you for as long as you need me to. So no need to hurry…"
Tuzi stared at Feng through her blurry wet eyes. His blue eyes are so patient and kind. How could he be so nice to her…? She messed everything up. There were so many big mistakes made, all of which inconvenience him and his mother extensively.
