Bai Yaoxuan put down her chopsticks and huffed out a breath, putting her hands on her face.

"What is it? Is the food no good?" Shen Tianyu worriedly peered at the other, putting down her chopsticks on it's rest. "Does your new body have an allergy to something here?"

"No! You're so-!" Bai Yaoxuan replied in a voice that carried annoyance but also sadness.

"Then what's wrong? Did you think of something that upset you?"

"I did..." She choked out and only then Shen Tianyu realized. The other was crying.

Not knowing what to say, Shen Tianyu got up with a troubled expression and went over to the other side of the table, ready to pat her back in silence. 

"You're always like this. Getting attacked out of the blue isn't some small matter! No matter how powerful you are, you don't know if the other person came prepared! It's not something you should wave off!" Bai Yaoxuan hiccupped before she continued, her hands covering her face but her tears were falling throught the cracks of her fingers, staining the golden table cloth but neither of them cared. Shen Tianyu just stood sumbly by her side as if she was a child being scolded by her parents. "Do you know..." Bai Yaoxuan's voice broke so she tried again. "Do you know how I felt when your office floor exploded?! When you fell down, the fires on your back extinguishing from all the wind, when your head hit the pavement and I heard a crack..." She was openly sobbing at the horrible memories now, but still wasn't willing to show her crying face. "Knowing that, I was the one to introduce those two psychos to you. Knowing that, if I didn't do that you wouldn't have ever been in any danger in the first place." A broken sob tore it's way fom her throat and she let it overtake her, letting her head and arms fall on the table, burrying her face in her arms. 

"Yaoyao... I did tell you not to worry about it... If those two could think of it, someone would have tried it sooner or later." Shen Tianyu, not knowing why, didn't dare to look at the sobbing girl sitting next to her, whose cultivation was only a little higher than the average person, no match for a Golden Core level Initial stage like her. Her feet toed at the wooden floor as if she could really create a hole for herself to fall into. Her hands were clasped behind her back as she fiddled with them. 

"Yaoyao, you know that they know I wouldn't blame you, nor be happy if they pointed their fingers at you." Shen Tianyu, feeling more awkward as time passed, looked around their table laden with food for something to give her to cheer her up. Too bad food in this world weren't exactly the same as what they had. There was no fast food whatsoever so there wasn't any Western-style cakes or ice cream readily available. Most of the dishes, they've tried at restaurants before and they liked them all so no particular one really stood out as either of their favorites. They were both foodies that loved eating all kinds of food, even trying some insects, which they hated when the creatures were still alive.

"You think I don't know that?!" Bai Yaoxuan lashed out and Shen Tianyu fell into silence again. "When I came here, with this body's life the way it was, I was kind of happy you know? I thought I would finally get some kind of retribution. I was just going to live this miserable life out but then I saw you in the streets and I thought..." She went back to sobbing her eyes out. 

Shen Tianyu fiddled with the hem of her clothes. It wasn't that she wasn't good at dealing with crying people, it's the people close to her crying that she had trouble dealing with, especially if it was because of her. Usually, she could just throw out some encouraging words or admonishment to get other people out of their funk or act arrogant. But she couldn't with those she loved. Precisely because she was always straightforward with them, they could always easily see through her. And knowing how she dealt with others, she was afraid they'd think she thought of them as outsiders if she used her usual methods.

Bai Yaoxuan cried and sobbed until Shen Tianyu thought the tablecloth was thoroughly soaked and she might need to pay for it's replacement. Bai Yaoxuan slowly lifted her head, sniffling her remaining tears. Shen Tianyu hurriedly reached into her Cosmos pouch and took out a handkerchief, having them finally be useful since she got them. She tried to wipe the other's snot and tears but she swatted away her hand so Shen Tianyu just held out the cloth. Bai Yaoxuan snatched the handkerchief she held out, expressing her remaining anger at the standing girl. She roughly scrubbed her face with the handkerchief as she calmed down.

"Uh... your makeup..." Shen Tianyu really couldn't find it in herself to laugh at the makeup running down her sister's face in the current situation.

"It's all your fault!" Bai Yaoxuan snapped as she turned away and tried to wipe the makeup all off. The makeup cases in this wold weren't as portable as their original world's and there were very few people who would take them outside, making do with just one made up face for the whole day.

"Mn." Shen Tianyu just hummed since she didn't know how to respond.
