Qiong Xing spoke as if comforting Hui, while also explaining the situation to the still sulking Leander.
Tasha had not done anything.
Hui had simply been startled and cried for a little while.
"...Even so, that woman was still the cause."
As expected, Leander was not so easily convinced.
"I was also at fault for staying in the room without saying anything. And even if it was because she felt relieved, I was the one who made Kira cry and startled her too."
Qiong Xing insisted that he himself had been the cause from the beginning, but Leander's mood did not improve.
It was not only because Hui had cried.
Leander also disliked how much attention Qiong Xing gave the two sisters.
"Leander."
"..."
"I'm sorry for always being so selfish. I'm sorry for making you put up with so much. And... thank you for loving someone like me."
Leander often complained, but he never actually told Qiong Xing to stop.
Qiong Xing knew it was because Leander loved him just as he was.
