章節 329: Chapter 330: Can I hug you?

"No crying!"

Gaiyin froze in fright, his eyes widening as he attempted to stop the tears from sliding down his face, appearing pitiful beyond words.

Realizing the harshness of his tone, Gaiyin stumbled to explain.

"You are a Beastman, you need to be brave. Giving in to tears won't solve the problems before you. You need to find ways to solve them. Will crying resolve the problem?"

Gaiyin's lips were pressed into a tight line. He looked at Gaiyin anxiously, hopeful yet cautious, "Can, can I hug you?"

Gaiyin: "...."

In his heart, he wanted to refuse, but seeing Gaiyin's tearful eyes and pitiful expression, he wavered.

A standoff ensued for a while.

In the end, Gaiyin conceded. He put down the ceramic bowl he was holding and awkwardly opened his arms, his voice devoid of any warmth.

"Alright, but only a brief hug!"

Gaiyin immediately cheered up and dove into Gaiyin's embrace, his arms tightly holding on to him.
