"You mustn't be willful, Fifth Sister!" Nangong Lingfei chastised his younger sister in a stern voice, yet his deep eyes were fixed on Sister Mu, who was tightly grasped by his sister's hand, "Ninth Sister's family is amiable and kind, and they will take good care of you. There are also many girls your age in the village, and you can befriend them and play with them. No one will let you be wronged, Fifth Sister, please be obedient."
Before the incident, Fifth Sister had been quite clever and adorable, but after the accident that year when she fell into the pond at the age of six, she awoke to become timid and reticent. She didn't grow close to anyone except Sister Mu, not even her own mother. Several times, he inadvertently caught sight of Fifth Sister looking at her mother with eyes full of fear and loathing.
