Inside the narrow room, two individuals were lying on the bed.
The girl, with her slender arm embracing the man's robust shoulders, confesses with a amorous sweetness in her voice, "I love you..."
The deep breathing of the man, as he kisses the girl's fair skin, carried an emotion in his coaxing voice that Yao Yingxi had never heard before, "Yue Yue, I love you too!"
For a moment, heaven turned into hell.
Yao Yingxi never suspected that the two most important people in her life would betray her in such a manner. Her trembling hands inadvertently brushed against a vase on the shelf by the door, emitting a sharp sound in the ambiguous environment.
The two passionately entwined on the bed halt their actions. Liang Yu looked back to see the suddenly appeared Yao Yingxi, disbelief clouding his eyes. Instinctively, he pulls the quilt from the ground to cover the person beneath him.
Seeing Liang Yu's gaze on her, Yao Yingyue, looking completely lost, calls out, "Sister..."
Yao Yingxi slowly shifts her gaze towards Yao Yingyue, her mind a total blank.
"Sister..." Yao Yingyue pushes Liang Yu away, wraps herself in the quilt and walks quickly towards Yao Yingxi, her choked voice laden with shame and guilt, "Let me explain."
"I..."
Before Yao Yingyue could realize, she begins to sob out of fear that Yao Yingxi will resent her. She extends her hand to Yao Yingxi, only to be reflexively pushed away: "Don't touch me!"
With a thud, Yao Yingxi pushes Yao Yingyue to the ground. Her elbows scrape against the floor, shedding a patch of skin, the fresh blood quickly seeping out.
"Sis..." A stunned Yao Yingyue takes a few seconds, crawls towards Yao Yingxi, pleading as if oblivious to the pain, "Don't be like this, I'm scared."
Dressed in pants, Liang Yu quickly walks over, helps Yao Yingyue up and carefully checks her elbow before turning to Yao Yingxi, speaking in a serious tone, "Yingxi, how could you do this to Yue Yue? She's your sister! I know we owe you an apology, but if you want to beat or scold anyone, aim at me. Yue Yue is innocent!"
Three years, all past beautiful memories shattered. At this moment, Yao Yingxi feels as if it's the first time she truly saw Liang Yu.
The two familiar figures who had inscribed themselves into her soul were standing in front of her, both in love, which finally snapped Yao Yingxi back to reality. She glanced at her sister who had always been her support, her eyes instantly filled with red bloodshot strains.
"Do you still remember she's my sister?" Yao Yingxi raised her hand, utilizing all her strength to slap Liang Yu, her eyes red when she looked at him, "Even rabbits don't nibble grass near their holes! If you want to cheat, if you want to find a woman, anyone is fine! But why did it have to be her?!"
Yao Yingxi pointed at Yao Yingyue, her fair hand's back showed protruding veins, her fingers trembling, "Why did it have to be my blood sister?"
"One of you is my soon-to-be-married boyfriend, the other is the person I feel closest to in the world, by doing this, where does it put me?"
"Sis..." Yao Yingyue, looking at Yao Yingxi who was desperately holding her emotions back, pulled away from the arms of Liang Yu, took two steps towards Yao Yingxi, but didn't dare to approach further. She broke into sobs, unable to form full sentences, "I'm sorry... I... It's my fault... I was the one who seduced your fiancé... I was shameless..."
"Sis... hit me, scold me! It's all my fault... Please don't ignore me... I apologize to you... I..." Upon turning her head and seeing the balcony, Yao Yingxi gritted her teeth, deciding to take one last gamble, she quickly darted towards it, "If I disappear, all these problems will be gone!"
Liang Yu was alarmed, in his eyes, Yao Yingyue appeared more like a moth flying into fire.
Yao Yingxi's face, already devoid of blood, became even paler, her limbs cold and stiff. She stood there in a daze, watching Yao Yingyue's frantic actions.
Just as Yao Yingyue made the move to jump from the balcony, Liang Yu sprung forward, holding her waist tightly, pulling her back from what he believed was the brink of death.
The two secret lovers clung to each other on the edge of the balcony, crying as if it were the end of the world -- resembling a pair of mandarin ducks forced to part.
Yao Yingxi watched them, a scoffing smile creeping onto the corners of her mouth.
She turned around and left this nauseating place quickly.
Sometime later, it started to rain outside, lightning tearing the dark night sky into two.
The torrential rain "pitter-pattered" on to Yao Yingxi, causing pain all over her body.
Rain and tears washed over her eyes together. Yao Yingxi stood under the rain curtain, unsure of where she should go.
All of a sudden, from far to near, a beam of white light appeared. Yao Yingxi, slowed in her reaction, wanted to avoid it.
With a "bang", the rain washing over her eyelashes turned brilliantly red.
Yao Yingxi wanted to scoff one last time but before she could move her facial muscles, she plunged into endless darkness.
