"Don't cry, it's bad for your eyes!" Tian Xin pulled out a tissue and wiped his eyes.
Not a word came out, tears came first.
"I... I'm useless..." Zhang Shuai's voice trembled, crying and shaking, his tears streaming down too fast for Tian Xin to wipe.
"Stop saying that..." She couldn't hold back her tears either, her hand trembling as she reached out several times but couldn't touch him, overwhelmed with sadness.
"I... I can't protect you..."
"You've done so well already, aren't I fine? Absolutely nothing wrong!"
"But I... from now on... I'm a cripple! I can no longer... protect… protect you!"
"Don't say things like that! You'll get better!" Tian Xin choked up, "I... I'll wait for you to get better... once you're better, we have so many things to do. Your dad... he's been arrested, he won't bother you again! Life will get better and better."
