As Ming Yin continued to dig, Xiao pressed her lips together. Incredible pain dripped out from both of their eyes. It was as if the ground had physically split between them. It felt as if this gap between them was never going to go away.
After watching him silently, Xiao turned her head away. Outside the dining hall windows, the blue cornflowers had bloomed, alerting everyone that summer had come. What did the cornflower represent? Was it happiness?
"Brother... Can't... I be happy?"
Ming Yin's eyes continued to glare at her.
"I've never felt happy since the moment I was born. I feel like my whole life is just one big tragedy. As if I was born just to be punished. I've lived each day feeling that way. Every single day was painful. Can't I just live the way I want to live from now on? Can't I just have the things I want? I love that man."
