Preston Chen's Mirror of Eternity Chapter 84

Just as he was thinking about it, Marcel's scream suddenly sounded behind him: "Sister Cyril, you...don't cry!" Preston Chen was startled, and turned around to see Tuoba Yu Er was sitting on his knees on the beach, holding his face in his hands and crying bitterly. Marcel was at a loss on the side. He was so anxious that he ran over and said, "Marcel, what's wrong with Sister Cyril?"

Tuoba Cyril said nothing, just kept crying. Marcel whispered: "Sister Cyril's wound hurt again last night, so I helped her take off the bandage and change the dressing, but she...she secretly took a look in the mirror when I turned around. I ended up crying all night!"

Preston Chen suddenly felt enlightened and thought: Sister Cyril has been pretending to be strong in front of the queen, but in fact she...she is extremely sad. He knew that girls cherished their appearance the most, and Tuoba Cyril was even more beautiful and outstanding. In the Tuoba tribe, she and her sister, Mrs. Yue, were called two flowers. Now that her appearance was completely ruined, the blow to her was unimaginable. She had always pretended that nothing was wrong, but now that the Queen was gone, she could no longer pretend. Feeling compassionate in his heart, he walked to Tuoba Cyril and said, "Sister Cyril, don't cry. In fact, misfortune lies where blessing lies, and blessing lies where misfortune lies..."

These two sentences, "Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessings lie where misfortune lies." is a line from "Laozi". During the Six Dynasties, the book "Laozi" was the most respected by literati. Preston Chen was fond of reading. "Laozi" is the Taoist Bible. He could recite it backwards and forwards, and he could have written a book. It was okay to just say these words in vain, but if he really wanted to comfort Tuoba Cyril, he was a little speechless. Tuoba Cyril didn't understand what he meant by blessings and misfortunes, so she just covered her face and cried. Among the Di people, she had been holding back her tears, but now that she was here, she no longer had any scruples and just cried heartily. All the tears in her life seemed to have been shed at this moment.

Preston Chen and Marcel saw that they could not comfort Tuoba Cyril, so they held Tuoba Cyril one by one and cried silently with her. Tuoba Cyril cried for a while before she stopped. Marcel saw that her bandages were wet and whispered: "Sister Cyril, let me change your dressing."
