Mingshen leaned back with a playful smile. "Seeing yourself in the kid again?"

"You don't have to feel so reserved. My arms are always open to embrace you, my dear. Let me give you a tight hug and kiss those sneaky culprits away~ You are free to go down the memory lane too if you wish. I am here to console you~"

Jia gave him a dry look. "Is your consolation method perhaps taking the heart out of my chest?"

He gasped. "Are you a mind reader? See, that's why I love you so much, Spicy. You know exactly what I am thinking. You don't need to take the trouble of crying anymore if you don't have a heart~ Heart is the root cause of all pesky emotions."

"I don't need to take the trouble of breathing anymore, either."

He sheepishly grinned. "Well, that's just a teensy tiny side effect. No biggie."
