Some feelings can stay hidden in the heart and remain a secret, they can be unspoken understandings, but once out in the open, they prick at one's conscience.
Lu Xiya felt like that at this moment.
She liked Pei Nianchen, it was a fact, but she knew it was wrong, because Pei Nianchen had always belonged to Gu Jiayin, her best sister.
"Jiayin, I..." Lu Xiya was embarrassed and at a loss, thinking Gu Jiayin didn't know, but it turned out she always knew, feeling like a thief caught.
Gu Jiayin, however, was calm and collected, she smiled gently, "Xiya, liking someone isn't a sin, Brother Nianchen has been handsome and outstanding since childhood. Of course, I'd like him, and it's natural you would too, there's no fault in that."
She held Lu Xiya's hand, which was slightly trembling from embarrassment, "Actually, Brother Nianchen and I were destined not to be together since seven years ago."
Because seven years ago, she stepped onto another path of no return.
