Duel (6)

"Nian… Nianzhi… You're really my sister, Nianzhi?! But you don't look like how you did when you were young…" Gu Yanran took a step forward to be closer to Gu Nianzhi and slowly held out her arm, wanting to caress Gu Nianzhi's face.

Gu Nianzhi instinctively tilted her head and took a step back; she did not want to be touched by Gu Yanran.

Gu Yanran's hand froze in midair for a moment before she put it down. Her eyes were already brimming with tears.

"Nianzhi? Are you really Nianzhi?" Gu Yanran asked again, shock written all over her face. Only after a while did she close her eyes, as if she were trying to recompose herself and bring herself back to reality.
