Yin Xiachun was stabbed in the heart when her brother maintained his silence. In a suffocated tone, she implored, "Brother, I hate to see you with other girls. Can we keep to our childhood promise to be together always? Let's be together for a hundred years and forever!"
Her naïve plea was accompanied by a frantic and desperate look; she was hoping to have her brother embrace her and tell her, "Yes, let's be together forever."
He did none of these, however.
Tremblingly, he pried open her clutching fingers one by one. His ashen face was full of resignation as he looked at her and said, "Be good. Don't spout nonsense, yeah?"
"I'm not talking nonsense! I mean it!" She inched closer to him and urged solemnly, "I really want to be with you always, brother. This has always been our promise to each other, right?"
