"Please. Thank you for saving me!"
I rushed forward, horrified by her actions, and gently pulled her up, firmly insisting that she never kneel to anyone again. The terror in her eyes was heartbreaking.
"Quickly get up!" I urged, finally getting her to stand on her feet.
"From now on, you are my big sister," I declared, my voice trembling slightly. "I wouldn't want my big sister to kneel."
Not like I was lying because in my past life, she said the same words to me, her eyes filled with warmth and life that it was the most precious and beautiful thing I had ever heard.
That was why in this life, I would become someone equally dear to you. Your sister.
The tears that had been held back finally streamed down Qiao Mei's face and I panicked. "How can I? After everything you sacrificed for me?" She sobbed.
And my mind drifted to that time again, and shook my head.
