Gu Minglu cried uncomfortably, "I, I really didn't push him. I've always regarded Mingli as my younger brother. I was truly happy when he returned, despite, despite..."

"Despite what?" Qi Huifen said.

"Despite..." Gu Minglu bit his lip, seemingly unable to continue. He turned his head towards Qiao Xiguan, tears streaming down as he clutched at the hem of her clothes, "Mom, I didn't push Mingli. I really didn't."

"Mm." Qiao Xiguan said calmly, "I know."

Gu Minglu was taken aback.

He always felt that his mom was like this, it gave him a strong sense of security. No matter when, she always managed to fiercely protect him.

Qiao Xiguan squatted down, gently wiping the tears from Gu Minglu's face, "Stop crying. Didn't Dad say that real men don't cry?"

"But Mom, didn't you say that if I'm a kid and I want to cry, I should cry?"

"That's when you're hurt, but now you're misunderstood, and you can't cry. Because it's not your fault, you shouldn't cry," Qiao Xiguan said.
