They stayed in silence for a long while before Lian pulled himself together and looked at Ding.
His eyes were red from all the crying and fierce rubbing.
"Am really okay, I just remembered something that made me cry."
Ding nodded his head in understanding," I see. Are you sure you're feeling better?"
Lian nodded and Ding cupped both his cheeks in his arms and stared into his eyes," Remember what I said before? I don't want you to keep anything from me. I want to help you shoulder any pain, I want to be the only person whom you can be free and open with okay?"
Lian's eyes welled up with tears at this- Please don't say such warm words to me with such sincerity, it just makes me feel terrible for lying to you for all this time.
Ding gently wiped his tears away and embraced him tightly," It's okay. You can cry."
