"Why are you crying?" Weijun asked, very uncomfortable with her presence and crying. Every second that she was inside was a ticking time bomb of bad luck. And yet, a part of him felt the urge to coax her. After all they had been trough together, he could not stand to see her sad. "Manman, don't cry. I am not making things deliberately difficult for you, I just have a lot on my plate right now." He placed a box of tissues in the arms of a short, realistic robot panda and it delivered them to her.
