Thinking of this, Xie Hanhan stared at Xie Shuyue again, making her scalp tingle and her heartbeat quicken.

She glanced carefully at Xie Hanhan, not daring to meet her eyes.

Guilty conscience.

That's what Xie Hanhan thought.

But she didn't expose or puncture it; instead, she approached and sat next to Xie Shuyue. "I'm Xie Hanhan, and you are? What's your name?"

"I, I'm called Shuyue!" Xie Shuyue whispered, fidgeting with her handkerchief, very uneasy.

"Shuyue, what a lovely name. According to our ages, you should call me sister!" Xie Hanhan whispered.

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Shuyue softly called out, "Sister!"

"It's good you've come back. These years, Mother has missed you terribly, and her health has not improved despite treatment. Now that you are back, you must persuade Mother to take it easy so she can recover well!"

Xie Hanhan assumed the role of a good elder sister.
