Qin Xiaolan was really aging quickly.
She wore a thin down jacket that revealed a clump of hair from the hood, yellow and dry like straw.
Upon seeing Gong Yi halt and look down, Qin Xiaolan cried pitifully. Her face, covered with granules, was streaked with tears.
"Hua Mi, sister, I know I was rude to you before. Please forgive me—I was wrong, I truly was wrong."
Hua Mi, who was on her way to find Shi Caixia, looked at Qin Xiaolan with bewilderment,
"What have I done to you? Why are you kneeling here begging for my forgiveness?"
It didn't seem like she had done anything, had she? Since reuniting with Qin Xiaolan, Hua Mi had only struck her once.
After that, wasn't it all up to Qin Xiaolan to do as she pleased?
Yet Qin Xiaolan, crying, shook her head. Seeing Gong Yi about to leave, she hurriedly crawled on her knees to block his path,
"Hua Mi, sister, I know I was rude to you before, but I've had such a hard time. Let me go, I just want to live well."
