Song Yaoyao felt as though half her butt was numb. Quickly, her crocodile tears turned into real tears.

By the time she realized what was happening, she was sobbing.

"Sir, if that is all, I'm going to step out first. I won't be going back tonight. If anything unexpected happens, you can send someone to call for me at any time."

After he was done talking, he quickly turned around and left, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he'd be skinned alive.

As he closed the door, he glanced over curiously with his tongue pressing against the inside of his mouth.

The man, who hadn't even had the chance to get changed after returning home, wrapped his long arms around the sobbing girl. He barely showed any emotions, but he currently had enough gentleness in his eyes to drown a person.

"Huhuhu...Gege is a liar!"

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"I'm not listening to you!"

Song Yaoyao sobbed, "You said it wouldn't hurt, but it hurt like hell!"

"Wear more clothes from now on."

Just as Liu Yu fell into a daze watching the two, he was shocked back to reality by Huo Yunque's gaze.

His lips curved, but he held back his smile.

The man's message was clear: do you want to die?

Liu Yu immediately closed the door, turned around, and ran, all in one go.

When sick, a person becomes weaker. Especially when they are doted on. There's no helping it.

Song Yaoyao cried. As she lay in Huo Yunque's arms, her eyes were red and swollen, and she semi-consciously pouted her lips.

"Gege."

Huo Yunque patted her on the back gently. "Huh?"

"I miss home," she said helplessly in a raspy voice. "I miss my parents and my brother..."

"You miss home?"

He wiped away her tears; she looked so confused that it didn't appear as though she knew what she was saying. Every now and then, she would call out for her father, her mother, and her brother.

"Home?"

The teary-eyed girl lifted her gaze dizzily; her moist eyelashes paused.

She shook her head and cried weakly, "I have no home, huhu..."

As she muttered these words, Huo Yunque's gaze darkened.

He didn't think the Song couple deserved to be missed by the girl after all that they had done.

"This is your home. So, stop crying, okay?"

He patted the girl on the back as though he was coaxing a child.

At that moment, Song Yaoyao had a dream and returned to the day that she passed away. As her soul floated in the air, she watched her parents cry painfully. Meanwhile, her brother covered his eyes, hot tears rolling down his cheeks.

She began to cry as well.

Her voice was filled with pain like a kitten on the verge of death.

No matter how Huo Yunque tried to coax her, she continued to cry and cry.

Her whimpering sounds were faint.

The man lowered his gaze and tried to wipe her tears again, but it was possible to keep her cheeks dry.

He never knew that a woman could cry so much.

"Song Yaoyao, you're not allowed to cry," he commanded.

Song Yaoyao was half-conscious after the injection, so she did not hear him.

Huo Yunque furrowed his brows. "What do you want?"

At that moment, even if Song Yaoyao asked for the stars in the sky, he would have sent someone to fetch them just to stop her from crying.

Song Yaoyao sobbed and whimpered as she stretched out her hand. "I want a kiss from Gege."

Huo Yunque: "..."

He narrowed his eyes as the teary girl reflected in his gaze.

Seeing that she was about to cry again, the man leaned over and lowered his lips...

Between his lips, he could taste the saltiness from the girl's tears.

"Sir, Dr. Liu prescribed some medicine and said it's best if the Miss takes...uh..."

Huo Qi immediately froze. Uncle Zhang, on the other hand, reacted quickly and pulled him out.
