Watching Xiang Ruijun climb into bed to get ready to sleep, Liu Yexian's gaze shifted to Pei Ye, seeking her opinion.
"If you want to tell her, just say it. Be a little bolder," Pei Ye said.
Hearing this, Liu Yexian took a deep breath to pump herself up. She could talk easily with anyone, but Xiang Ruijun alone made her feel completely lost on where to start.
Their parents had met and married halfway through life. They had known each other for over three years but had been officially married and living together for less than two. When the older couple first tied the knot, Xiang Ruijun and Liu Yexian were just heading off to college. The time the two stepsisters actually spent together was incredibly short.
Xiang Ruijun was solitary and antisocial by nature, and Liu Yexian, having been an only child for so many years, had never learned how to get along with a younger sister. They had little interaction, and their affection for each other was virtually nonexistent.
