For a moment, Gu Heng felt as if he couldn't breathe, and even his chest began to ache.
"Brother Heng, do you think we did something wrong..."
A suppressed and sad voice came from beside him.
"My sister...she wasn't like this before. I don't know when it started, but she has grown more and more distant from me. Although she seemed difficult to get along with in the past, I know she was still kind-hearted. But now... seeing her like this really upsets me. What should I do to make my sister feel better... What will it take for her to forgive me..."
Xinyan's voice was soft and subdued, with a slight tremble, bitter and helpless, causing Gu Heng's heart to ache.
He reached out to embrace her, his long fingers lifting her delicate chin, wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and placing a kiss full of pity and pain on her forehead.
The man's cherished gesture made her feel even more guilty.
