Nan Fei's hand slowly clenched into a fist, already drenched in cold sweat. She couldn't clearly articulate her innermost thoughts - the uncertainty, complexity, bitterness...
And the fear.
A deep-rooted fear emerged from within her. Her left foot on steady ground, her right foot over an abyss, everything hinged on Zhuanzhuan's response.
"I'm sorry, sister," Zhuanzhuan said apologetically, shaking her head. "While I didn't forget your instructions, I didn't exactly take them seriously. We didn't have any incidents going to the river every day, so I thought you were overreacting. It's all my fault, I take all the blame! You can blame or hit me all you want, I promise I won't complain or hold any resentment."
"I couldn't believe that our little brother would fall into the water. By the time I noticed, he was already in the river. I was terrified and jumped into the river to save him, but I can't swim... I'm really useless."
