The room stayed in a complete silence as everyone gave some time to Ning Xi. She was headstrong, stubborn but most of all, her will was the strongest.
Even if her past had broken her, she had held on for years, all alone. But now she had a whole family who loved her.
After some time, Ning Xi stopped sobbing and pulled away from Shen Yu's embrace. She had realised her condition long ago and could have stopped but Shen Yu provided a strange protection and warmth to her, which made loose her guard and surrender herself.
That was why she cried to her heart's content. All the years of pent up trauma, she had vent it all out. The pain was still there, but she felt much better now.
She wiped her face and smiled at Shen Yu.
"Hehe, sorry that you had to see such an ugly side of mine."
"Nothing of you is ugly. And every side of you is mine and they're beautiful. Even these tears."
Shen Yu gave her a reassuring smile and patted her head.
