Chapter Text
Ye Xiu has always known that there was a problem with his body.
If he was even just the tiniest bit upset, his tears would fall one by one uncontrollably.
Because of this, when they were young whenever anything happened Ye Xiu’s tears would always fall more fiercely than Ye Qiu. Mother Ye‘s heart would ache for the elder almost to death and leave the younger by the wayside every time.
Ye Qiu: ??? Wasn’t the one who scraped his knee??? me?? Why are you crying so hard that our mom isn’t even paying attention to me???
In reality, after Ye Xiu saw Ye Qiu’s knee was scraped and bleeding he started to get anxious. As soon as he got anxious his tears began to pour down his face, making it so that Mother Ye felt that Ye Xiu was a peerlessly good brother that cried so hard just because his brother got hurt.
Thus in that year they were fifteen Ye super-worried-about-his-younger-brother-peerlessly-good-older-brother Xiu stole his younger brother’s luggage and ran away from home.
