Soon Jiang Yuyan fell asleep while resting her head in Lu Qiang’s lap. All gave out a sigh of relief to see her calm.
"I was worried about how to handle her but I guess, Lu Qiang’s presence made her calm or I would have spent my whole night handling her tantrums and wiping her tears," said Jiang Yang while looking at Jiang Yuyan’s calm babyface.
"What do you mean by it? Does she behave something different than this?" Lu Qiang asked and Lu Feng too looked at Jiang Yang to know what he meant.
"Whenever she drinks and alcohol hits her, she started to cry nonstop for no valid reason," Jiang Yang replied.
"Hmm! I just saw it. It’s fine and nothing to be worried about," Lu Qiang replied.
Lu Feng nodded to what Lu Qiang said, "Yeah! Why are you over-reacting about it, Jiang Yang," Lu Feng was more concerned about Jiang Yuyan and just like Lu Qiang, he was okay withhoweverr she liked to behave.
Jiang Yang exclaimed, "Over reacting? Huh? What you saw, it was just one percent of what she does every time."
"What exactly she does?" Lu Qiang asked.
Jiang Yang started to narrate them, "First time when she drank I never thought, I will see her like this. We can expect a person to do crazy things or cry if there something really valid to cry about but she do it without any reason. I feel like as if she searches anything stupid to cry over for to let out her hidden sorrow. I spent my whole night by wiping her tears and trying to console her for not to cry. It’s not just once. She does it all the time but today she didn’t strech it for a long."
"It’s fine as everyone has their own way to react when alcohol hit them." Lu Feng interrupted him.
Caressing the head of Jiang Yuyan, Lu Qiang looked at Lu Feng, "I agree but it’s hard to see her reacting like this to even extremely hurting things. She can be the way too cold. I saw her cold side."
"Lu Qiang is right. Since that incident happened with her, she never cried after coming out of it in a few months. She was less expressive, just used to observe and store everything in her brain. She never demanded for anything and she was always silent till she took her revenge with that boy. The period when she should have cried, she kept everything buried inside her."
Hearing it, Lu Qiang and Lu Feng both felt heaviness in their chest to think about a kind of a thing she had gone through in such a young age. Both looked at her calm face with love in their eyes for her.
"I think the reason behind her not crying much today is the presence of Lu Qiang in her life."
Both looked at Jiang Yang with questioning gazes to know what it was.
Jiang Yang continued, "She hates to cry and still avoid showing her tears to anyone. Since Lu Qiang came to her life, I saw her crying without resisting and showing how she felt. She cried without any hesitation when she was not drunk. This is a good thing as she is expressing herself and now she doesn’t need a reason of alcohol to cry out."
Lu Qiang didn’t know how to react. Whether he should be happy to know, she was cried because of him or sad to see her taking the help of alcohol to let out her sorrows. He didn’t want her to cry because of him ever but what Jiang Yang said, made sense and he won’t ever want her to take the help of alcohol for anything.
Jiang Yang looked at Lu Qiang who looked immersed in deep thoughts, "Don’t think much about the things Lu Qiang. You, being in her life is the best thing that could happen to her."
"Hmm! I hope so too and I will try to make every moment of her life to be best," Lu Qiang replied not being sure about anything.
Lu Feng noticed Lu Qiang’s expressions. He looked worried for her, "You are already doing it for her Lu Qiang. You don’t have to do much, just be with her always."
"Hmm! Lu Feng is right," said Jiang Yang.
"This is the thing I can and always want to do it for her, being with her always and forever."
Once the talk between friends was over, it was midnight and they decided to go to sleep. Lu Qiang carried Jiang Yuyan to her bedroom while Jiang Yang took Lu Feng to his room. Lu Qiang put her in a bed and slept beside her while covering them with the quilt.
He continued looking at her without blinking an eye. He was trying to feel her pain that she kept buried in her heart for long. Though she was out of it, some unseen wounds are hard to heal completely. He kissed her on the forehead and slept while holding her in his embrace.
In Jiang Yang’s bedroom, Lu Feng and Jiang Yang were in a bed, ready to sleep. Suddenly, Lu Feng asked, "Do you think, Yuyan is out of her past now?"br>"Not completely as it is impossible to forget such thing but she has something with her now to replace her sorrows with the happiness and that will keep her going ahead," Jiang Yang answered.
Lu Feng continued staring at the ceiling while lying in a bed, "I wish her to be happy always."
"We all wish the same." Jiang Yang said and both fell asleep soon.
Next morning, Lu Qiang woke up but Jiang Yuyan was still sleeping. He didn’t disturb her and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Soon he was out after having a shower and wrapped in a towel around his waist.
It was Jiang Yuyan’s room so he didn’t have clothes to wear in her room. he decided to go to Jiang Yang’s room to get a pair of clothes for him.
