That was probably the most painful moment of his life.
Sheng Yize blinked and turned toward An Xiaxia. The brooding look in his eyes reminded her of a very still and deep pool.
"You actually can cry!" An Xiaxia looked like she had discovered a new world.
Sheng Yize found her reaction funny. "I'm human, and all humans have emotions. Isn't it only normal that I can be happy, angry, or sad?"
"But you just don't look like the type to cry to me…"
He had always been that lofty Mr. Idol, who was haughty, mesmerizing, and otherworldly.
Sheng Yize pecked her lightly on the lips. "I don't cry because I'm not sad enough."
"Hm…" An Xiaxia pushed him away and darted a glance at the boatman, who grinned at them, making An Xiaxia blush.
Sheng Yize pinched her nose. "You made me think of my sad past and my fragile nerves are shaken. You have to compensate me."
Pffft —
She had only asked in passing and he made it so serious!
