Chapter 116: Because You Cry Very Beautifully
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What did Big Brother ask for?” Yue Xin asked in confusion.
Just as Yue Lingyu was about to cry again, Yue Xin’s words interrupted his tears.
Yue Lingyu asked intermittently, “Just now, you, you were here. Was it Big
Brother’s request for you to accompany me?”
Yue Xin asked, “Why would Big Brother ask for this?”
Yue Lingyu understood. Yue Xin’s actions just now had nothing to do with his brother. His heart suddenly beat violently. “Then, then, why didn’t you leave just now?” She clearly asked him to cry somewhere else in the morning. Yue Xin replied matter-of-factly, “Because you cried very beautifully.”
One of Big Sister’s famous sayings was, “I don’t have any other hobbies. I just take a second look at beautiful things.”
In just a few seconds, Yue Lingyu simulated many possible answers that Yue Xin might give in his heart, but he did not expect it to be like this. He cried very beautifully? This was the first time he had heard someone evaluate him like this. Although he did not know how to answer, he knew that his face must be very red now. Ever since he was young, as long as he cried, the adults beside him would tell him that he was a man and could not cry all the time. In school, if he cried, other students would laugh at him for crying even though he was a boy.
He just didn’t understand. Why couldn’t he cry? There were so many emotions in his heart that he didn’t know how to express. It was only when he cried that he felt better. He also wanted to be like the other boys, sweating on the field, running on the track, and rushing to the finish line under everyone’s cheers, but he couldn’t. He had been different from others since he was young. He didn’t know why it hurt so much that he couldn’t bear it when nothing happened to the others when they had a wound on their hands. He didn’t understand why others could recover without bandaging the wound. Once he bled, he couldn’t stop it from flowing. He didn’t understand even more why parents cared about children on television when they cried and asked to comfort them, while his parents took it for granted.
“Lingyu’s brain is much smarter than other children’s. He cries often to relieve the pressure on his brain. This is very normal.” His mother always said this.
Hence, he cried even more unscrupulously. At first, he only wanted to prove something, but later, it became a habit that he could not change. He did not want to cry either. He was already sixteen years old now. He would be an adult in two years. He really wanted to change his bad habit of crying. After all, it was strange for an adult man to always cry.
His brother had once told him that there was no need to endure. It was necessary to vent his emotions occasionally. The doctor had also told him that tears could wash away the excess adrenal corticosteroids and prolactin in the human body. This could relieve the frustration of negative emotions. However, as soon as he went to school, someone would criticize him.
“It’s so annoying when a boy cries.”
“Is this what geniuses are like? How strange.”
“Smart kids are indeed a little abnormal.”
“Why is he always crying? We didn’t say anything…
Yue Lingyu also knew that crying was definitely not right, so he endured it and persisted in school for an entire month. He did not shed a single tear. This weekend, when he returned home, he wanted to tell his brother that he had not cried for a month and that he had already grown up. But who knew that he would face his brother’s absence when he returned home? The emotions that he had suppressed for a month finally erupted, and he cried again. He still had not improved. Thinking of this, he cried even harder. All these years, he had thought countless times. As a man who should have been indomitable, was it right or wrong for him to cry like this? Whether it was reasonable or not, many people had told him different opinions, but no matter what, no one had said that he cried very beautifully.
Wasn’t crying only about right and wrong? How could it be described as beautiful? Moreover, he was a boy, so he couldn’t be described as beautiful. Yue
Lingyu had many things to retort in his heart, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, they finally became, “Is it really beautiful?”
Yue Xin replied without hesitation, “It’s really beautiful.” With that, she took her phone and was about to leave.
Only then did Yue Lingyu remember that Yue Xin seemed to have taken a photo of him just now. Why did she take a photo of him? He mustered his courage and stopped Yue Xin, “The photo you took… Did you want to send it to Big Brother?”
Yue Xin slowly turned around, her face filled with question marks. Even if she didn’t say anything, Yue Lingyu could sense the extent of her confusion.
“I won’t send it to Big Brother. I’ll keep it for myself.” It would be her learning material.
“Why… are you keeping it?” Yue Lingyu’s voice became softer and softer, and his face was extremely red.
Yue Xin said seriously, “I’ll keep it to study.”
Yue Lingyu was stunned. “Learn?”
Yue Xin nodded. “Yes. I want to learn how I can cry as beautifully as you.”
Yue Lingyu was speechless. His language system could not support him in handling such a high-level conversation. The conversation between the two of them stopped abruptly..
