Lu Jin observed his sister with a heavy heart. A wall barricaded her emotions, making it challenging for him to break through her defenses and communicate with her. Taking a deep breath, he settled beside her and held her hands. "Sisi, please look at me," he spoke gently.
Yet, Lu Sisi remained fixated on their intertwined fingers, lost in her world of silence.
"What's bothering you?" he inquired softly. "I'm your brother, and you can talk to me. Remember, in this vast world, we only have each other. You can always rely on me, no matter what. I will help you. Talk to me."
Her brother's comforting words struck a chord within Lu Sisi. Tears pooled in her eyes as she fought hard to contain her emotions. He was right. In this big world, he was her sanctuary, her protector, and the one person who would go to any lengths to support her—even when her decisions seemed wrong or completely evil.
