“Who says I’m causing a scene!” he glared at her: “I don’t see you as my sister, and besides, what’s so bad about being my girlfriend?”
“Okay!” she tried to remain calm: “I misspoke. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have listened to my father and transferred to Haixin, shouldn’t have made you unhappy, and especially shouldn’t have been your half-sister.”
“Do you have to keep emphasizing that you’re my sister?!” his tone contained a hint of anger.
Qianxi took a deep breath, restraining herself: “I know you don’t like hearing it, but it’s an unchangeable fact. Weren’t we fine for the past decade, each living our own lives? Let’s just return everything to its original state, okay?”
He roared: “Impossible!” He understood better than anyone that everything had already begun, he had already given his heart, and they could never go back.
Qianxi angrily said: “Be reasonable! Do you know how hard these months have been for me? Being cursed at, harassed, threatened, slapped every day – and that’s not the worst. The most terrifying thing was almost being raped, if not for Xing Yun…” She suddenly stopped, feeling ridiculous for trying to reason with someone like him.
Xing Tuo narrowed his eyes dangerously, his expression changing: “Why did you stop? What about Xing Yun?”
She sighed softly: “Forget it. These are past events, and talking about them is pointless. I think people will soon forget about my situation.” Thinking this, she couldn’t help but raise a faint smile, though something sour and bitter inexplicably welled up in her heart.
Oh. Shen Xinghao yawned, his head still in a drowsy state. Xing Tuo glared at him: “Aren’t you going to ask me why I came to find you?” Shen Xinghao scratched his head and said, “Uh… so why did you come to find me?” Xing Tuo said irritably: “Help me investigate someone.” “Oh.” “Hey!” Xing Tuo glared at him fiercely: “Is that all you can say?”
“Sigh!” Shen Xinghao let out a breath and looked up at him: “It seems you’re the one looking for me with something. How would I know if you don’t tell me? Go ahead, what important person is so urgent that you’d appear by my bedside so early?”
