80 Big Sister: (2)

Long Mei released a breath. "I know. Sorry for taking it out on you." 

Long Xia chuckled as she shook her head. She approached her sister, kneeling on the floor next to her as she packed her things. "I deserved it," she began. "Don't feel like you can't be honest about expressing your feelings. I was a shitty sister. It's the truth. I want things to be different now, and I am sorry too." 

Her sister nodded. "I need you to trust me, Xia. I will be fine with Jin Qing, and this is what I want." 

"Really?"

She nodded. 

Long Xia smiled. "Do you like him?" she asked in a low, teasing voice. 

Long Mei rolled her eyes. "It's as you said. I don't know him that well. But to make our relationship look more believable, I have to move in with him. And he offered me comfort and said that he will not do anything to get in my way." 

Long Xia's lips parted. "Wow. That sounds like a dream."
