The reluctant and sad atmosphere was instantly broken.
The corner of Chu Liuyue's lips twitched as she looked at Tao Tao and seriously said, "Tao Tao, you've already swallowed such a huge black-gold crystal. You're a big kid now. You can't cry so easily, okay?"
Tao Tao nodded forcefully and flung a few large teardrops out.
Chu Liuyue was caught off-guard and was hit again. She wiped her face. "Um… I'll leave first."
Elder Shu Yu waited for a while, and just as he planned to go in and find her, Chu Liuyue finally walked out from within.
He looked at Chu Liuyue's wet face in shock. "Chu Yue, what's… with you?"
Chu Liuyue coughed. "Nothing; I just washed my face. Why did you come so early and even trouble yourself to specifically come and fetch me?"
