Lin Bingqiang didn't even know how he had managed to say those words.
Once spoken,
the air instantly fell silent.
It took quite a while before Lin Guixiang came to her senses and said, with a smile, "Qiangzi, stop joking around with your sister like that!"
It wasn't funny at all.
"I'm not joking," Lin Bingqiang continued. "Big sister, actually, I hesitated for many days before deciding to tell you. Cui Nong is right, you have the right to know about this. We can't deliberately conceal it when we clearly know the truth; it would be too unfair to you."
As a younger brother, he couldn't allow his sister's life to have any regrets.
Lin Guixiang took a deep breath, "Qiangzi, are you, are you serious?"
"Mm," Lin Bingqiang nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lin Guixiang couldn't quite describe what she was feeling now.
Sad?
It didn't seem to be overwhelming sadness either.
Painful?
Perhaps not that either.
