"Why? Why wasn't my sister willing to come out and see me?" Xiao Qing seemed almost frantic as she grabbed my arm and shook it hard.
I gave a wry smile. How would I know why Bai Niangzi would not come out?
But I believed she had her reasons.
On the other hand, Xiao Qing had none of her usual composure at this moment.
Still, I could understand. In her heart, Bai Niangzi was the person closest to her. Now that Bai Niangzi would not come out to see her, she had to be filled with disappointment.
It also showed that Xiao Qing cared deeply about relationships. Because she cared, she felt sad and even wronged.
"Have you considered that perhaps she has something more important to do? The fact that she was able to stop you just now and bring you back to your senses proves that she cares about you. She simply cannot get away at the moment."
With a sigh, I continued, "And you? I'm sure this is the last thing she wants to see—look at you now. Where has all your usual cleverness gone? Do you really have so little faith in your sister? You should be able to tell that old hag is still deeply afraid of your sister. She even knows exactly what your sister is doing and what state she is in. She clearly knew your sister could not appear, yet she still fled in the end. That alone proves your sister is not in trouble. She must be doing something important."
Unless she was occupied with something significant, Bai Niangzi would never refuse to see Xiao Qing. I believed she sincerely cared for Xiao Qing as a sister too.
After hearing me out, Xiao Qing's face reddened slightly.
She gradually calmed down.
