Tears Are Ugly

Han Yiheng hugged his grandson and looked at Darren who was still pretending like there was no other meaning to his words. But did he really think Han Yiheng was that innocent as Rowan? Especially when he knew what kind of a relationship Darren and Xiu had?

Han Yiheng shook his head and looked at Ava as he asked, "Do you always carry confetti around?"

"I do," answered Ava happily. "It's for emergencies like today."

"Oh?" responded Han Yiheng. "And if it's sad news?"

Ava pulled out a plastic flower from inside her inner pocket and said, "Then I'd offer the flower. It makes people feel good."

"And who said that?" asked Han Yiheng.

"Xiu said it," replied Ava innocently. "Xiu said happiness and sadness have no time. We should always be ready for everything that life throws at us. And we should always accept it with open arms as well."
