you will tell me right?

The day when the classes soon arrived and Xua Ying Yue also celebrated the day by taking off the bandages which were covering her hands, though the wounds caused by Lu Biya and the rest left ugly scars on the back of her hands, they were no longer feeling itchy nor were they bleeding.

With her hands no longer tied in those white bandages, Xua Ying Yue was obviously in a much better mood than she was in the past. Though she was in a good mood, Xua Yenay was not feeling good, not even a little bit. She looked at her sister's hands which were covered with ugly scars and her eyes could not help but turn red in anger and pain.

Now that the wounds were no longer bleeding and had formed scabs all over, one could see just how terrifying the injury that her sister received truly was, if the scabbed-over wounds looked so terrifying she could only imagine how severe the burns that her sister got after getting her hands shoved in the furnace were, she hated the Lu family and all the kids who were behind the cause of Xua Ying Yue's pain and truly wished that they would suffer just as much as her sister did when she was being bullied by them.

" Here," Xua Yenay sniffed and then willed her tears away as she took out the two gloves which were sitting in the drawer of the cabinet of the kitchen and then handed them to Xua Ying Yue. " I brought these for you, I know that you hate when people talk about you which is why I brought these, as long as you wear them, no one will say anything to you much less ask you about these scars."

Xua Ying Yue looked at the delicate gloves which had lace attached to it and then raised her hand before taking them from her sister's hands, in fact, she too was thinking of buying something similar like these it was a good thing that her sister came up with the plan of bringing them with her first.

" Thank you, sister," Xua Ying Yue said as she slipped the black gloves on her hands and then clenched and unclenched her fingers, the gloves were thin and she did not have to worry about them bothering her movements at all.

Xua Ying Yue nodded to herself in satisfaction just as Xua Yenay smiled and raised her hand to pinch her sister's cheek. " You little girl, who are you being polite with? I am your sister, if I do not stay attentive to you, who else will I pay attention to?"

She looked at Xua Ying Yue who was holding her bag and then asked in a low voice, " Yue'er, did you put everything in your bag?"

" I did sister Yenay, you need not worry about me, I am no longer a child," Xua Ying Yue knew that her sister was worried about her but she was no longer a child and did not need her sister to fuss over her, her sister had her own life and these days, Xua Ying Yue was noticing that her sister was staying with her all the time, she worked in the restaurant and only during those hours did she leave her alone as for the entire time she stayed with her.

Xua Ying Yue was touched by her sister's care but she did not wish for her sister to make her the centre of her world, what happened to her was indeed scary but it made her stronger and she will never suffer like that again.

" How can I not worry, you are my little sister, I will worry about you even when you are old and ugly," joked Xua Yenay as she followed Xua Ying Yue out of the room.

" I know, you can fuss all you want when I come back home—— as for now," she looked down at the watch that she was wearing and then turned to look at Xua Yenay while she was standing at the top of the stairs and then added, " You have three hours until your next shift starts to go and look at the new noodles shop at the Main Street of the market, I heard that it is quite popular these days."

" Are you talking about the shop which belongs to Aunt Guihua's husband? Sure. I will go and check it out," Xua Yenay knew that Xua Ying Yue was displeased with her actions of staying at home all the time but she was too young and did not understand what she went through when she received a call from the school's doctor who told her that Xua Ying Yue was in the hospital.

When she turned eighteen, she received a call very similar to the one she received from that school. Back then Xua Ying Yue was very young, she did not even know what was going on but she did, leaving her college exams in between she had to rush to the hospital and peek inside one room after another room while looking for her father and mother, the accident was too severe and many people died back then, thus it was impossible to find her parents who were like lost needles in the sea.

She carried Xua Ying Yue in her arms while running around flustered, and after looking through every room in the hospital, she knew that her parents were not in any room but the one place where she hoped that she will never see them.

The morgue.

With her sister whose eyes were dazed and confused, she dragged her feet to the morgue where she found her parents, their bodies had long gone cold and hard by the time she found them.

That incident left a scar on her heart and when she rushed to the hospital after getting the information that her sister was admitted to the emergency ward, Xua Yenay felt like her world was crashing down. The image of her sister lying unconscious on the bed with her hands bleeding profusely was enough to make her die on the spot but she held on thinking that her parents would not be so cruel as to take Xua Ying Yue away from her which was why she prayed to her late father and mother, begging them not to take Xua Ying Yue with them.

As she watched Xua Ying Yue step down the stairs, Xua Yenay could not help but reach out her hand and caught her sister's wrist as she asked, " You will tell me if someone tries to hurt you right, Yue'er?"
