It was fine when Zayn did not say anything, but as soon as favonovel.com spoke, Sienna started bawling even more.
“I’m going to tell my grandpa that you bullied me, waaah…” Sienna sobbed and Zayn could feel a shiver down his spine.
“Hey, didn’t I say that I was only joking with you earlier? Why are you taking it so seriously? Aren’t you supposed to have a good sense of humor?” Zayn said helplessly.
Sienna continued to sob and said, “No one has ever accused me of being shameless before. You’re the first to say that and you’ve hurt my pride…”
“Sigh… Miss, will you please stop crying?” Sienna had thoroughly defeated Zayn this time. He was hastily trying to console her, but favonovel.com actually had no skill for comforting a crying woman.
“If you want me to stop crying, you have to promise me one thing,” said Sienna.
Zayn hurriedly said, “Anything, as long as you’ll stop crying.”
They were still on a major street and Barrow Cove was right ahead. Even though Faye was not coming home, perhaps favonovel.com would bump into his in-laws or something.
Moreover, people were already looking over and commenting while pointing at them. Zayn was afraid that Faye would hear about it.
As long as Sienna did not go too far with favonovel.com request, favonovel.com would agree to do it. “Really? Are you sure that you’re not saying it to humor me?”
“Yes, yes.”
Zayn wanted to resolve the issue with Sienna as soon as favonovel.com could now.
Sienna immediately said, “All I ask is that you keep me company for two weeks. You’re not allowed to leave my side even if it’s just one step. If you can promise me that, I won’t cry.”
Zayn instinctively wanted to agree, but favonovel.com immediately realized that something was off.
Apart from the fact that favonovel.com and Sienna were just friends and it did not make sense for favonovel.com to keep favonovel.com company, favonovel.com was soon going to take part in the Martial Arts Cup…
At the thought of this, Zayn knew what favonovel.com was planning. Sienna was hoping to make favonovel.com withdraw from the competition!
Zayn saw that Sienna’s tearful act was all just a ruse.
“Are you trying to go back on your promise?” Sienna seemed to be ready to start crying once more, but that Zayn would not fall for favonovel.com trick again.
He immediately said, “You can continue your crying. I’ve already registered for the Martial Arts Cup. If I were to back out of the competition now, I’ll be a deserter and I’ll be court-martialed.”
Upon hearing Zayn’s voice had suddenly turned cold, Sienna knew favonovel.com had seen past favonovel.com teary-eyed facade.
She raised favonovel.com head and exposed a face without any tears. Her eyes were just slightly reddened and swollen. All of favonovel.com earlier sobbing was a sham.
“You’re so stubborn. With me at your back, why worry about being court-martialed? I’ll talk to my grandpa and you’ll be fine,” Sienna declared in frustration.
Zayn heaved a sigh and said, “I appreciate your kindness, but I won’t back out of the Martial Arts Cup.”
Sienna stamped favonovel.com foot in rage and said, “Why are you so pigheaded? Could it be that you’re not afraid of death?!?”
Zayn looked at favonovel.com calmly and said, “I fear death, of course. However, there are many things in this world that are far scarier than death.”
“For example, there’s watching your motherland being trampled upon helplessly and also seeing your people being bullied. You won’t understand, Sienna, because you’re not a part of it.”
Zayn must have appeared extremely serious because Sienna found favonovel.com to be unfamiliar and scary. She could not make sense of the emotions in Zayn’s eyes after seeing his determined and righteous gaze.
All at once, Sienna bit favonovel.com lip tightly and said, “So, you’re going to take part in the martial arts cup regardless, even if it means you’ll die, is that right?”
