Fate Will Decide
Bai Zemin hugged Meng Qi for several minutes and did not hide from himself the fact that his heart felt like it was being stabbed over and over again at the silent disconsolate crying of his sister. However, this was also for the best or the suffering would only grow with the passage of time.
After crying until she practically ran out of tears, Meng Qi wrinkled her little nose and slowly wriggled in his embrace. Taking this as a signal, Bai Zemin slowly loosened his grip on her and placed his hands softly on her shoulders before gently moving his body back to look directly into her eyes.
"My dear little sister, if mom sees you like this she'll surely give me a beating for thinking I'm bullying you." He sighed and tried to make a light joke to lighten the atmosphere a bit as he used his fingers to tenderly trace the tears still hanging from her long eyelashes.
