Jingyi squeaks as he's pulled in, but then he grins. He hugs his uncle back.
As far as the young man is concerned the only strings to the gift are the ones holding it together. He loves his uncle and he loves that at times, he even feels needed. He wants to protect his uncle from anymore pain and just see that the rest of the older man's days are spent happy. Granted, he realizes he might not be able to do that, but that's his wish!
"We need someone else to get married! Or- or.. hey! When's your birthday?"
