Xiaxia drew nearer to Seraphina, gently linking their arms, and beseeched, "Dear Sister Seraphina . . . could you impart to your younger sibling the secrets of discovering romance, achieving happiness, and injecting vibrancy into my otherwise mundane existence?"
Seraphina's laughter danced lightly through the air, a melodic sound that carried a hint of mischievousness. "It's simple, Xiaxia."
"Really? Because I've tried everything from simple to drastic, and nothing seems to work," Xiaxia replied, her frustration evident in her voice.
Seraphina gently placed a finger over Xiaxia's lips, silencing her. "Listen to me very carefully, my dear Xiaxia."
Xiaxia met Seraphina's intense gaze, feeling a flutter of anticipation in her chest. She swallowed nervously, nodding in agreement.
