"Don't cry, why are you crying? I didn't bully you—please, stop crying."
Jiang Yue panicked upon seeing Jin Ye cry, squatting by the bed in a fluster, dabbing at his tears with a tissue.
But instead of wiping the tears away, several round, large pearls ended up on the tissue.
They resembled pearls but weren't exactly pearls; they were spherical and lustrous, radiating dazzling colors and brilliant light.
"So the old fairy tale is true, mermaids' tears turn into pearls."
Jiang Yue gazed at the shining pearls, they were too beautiful. She had never seen such pretty pearls before, even more dazzling than diamonds.
"Master."
Jin Ye looked at Jiang Yue with tearful eyes, and more teardrops continued to fall, rolling down to the edge of the pillow, accumulating into over a dozen pearls.
"Alright, stop crying. Sleep, just sleep, okay?"
