Jianjun dropped the little bird back on the ground after doing his best to make sure the bird could fly again.
"Thank you for your time little one" He thanked the bird before walking down the street to the Chu's apartment.
He was almost at the Chu's apartment now but the street was a bit dark.
"Brother Jun" Jianjun turned when he heard his sister's voice call him. He didn't know how long she had been behind him and he hadn't even taken note because he had been so lost in thought.
"Why are you here?" Jianjun asked as he looked around the dark street.
"How is she?" Cixi asked in turn without answering his question.
Jianjun could see the sadness in his sister's eyes when she asked. He had expected to see anger, resentment and disappointment but instead, she was sad.
"I....am sorry" He sincerely apologized and closed his eyes to stop the rapid blinking back of tears.
"I am truly sorry Cixi. I know you must really hate me now"
