Suddenly, something dripped down her cheeks. Surprised, Xiao raised her hands and touched her cheeks. She realized then that her cheeks were wet with her own tears.
What is this?
Dumbfounded, Xiao lowered her hands.
She didn't know why she was crying. Was it because she was scared? That was probably it. She made such a big mess and got caught. She was so scared that she felt numb, so of course she'd shed a few tears.
It definitely wasn't because she was leaving Jun Shang. It definitely wasn't because her heart was hurting. Her departure was inevitable from the start. He'd end up hating her for what she'd done. It was all inevitable.
"Don't cry, Yun Xiao ."
13 years ago, during the winter when her whole life was turned upside-down, her mother spoke to her.
"If you cry, I'm going to gouge out your eyes."
A wicked witch. A monster hiding in the forest.
