范晓萱: Softly Why did you leave, just like that? I need answers, closure!
I am sorry for what I have done. My parents died and my uncle came and took over our house. I had nowhere else to go. I know it's no excuse for leaving you like that, but I was scared and desperate. I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you, Fan Xiaoqian.
茟晓辣:After a moment of silence, tears welling up in her eyes You should have told me, SlimDev. I would have understood.
I know, and I'm so sorry that I didn't. Is there any way we can fix this, or at least talk more? I want to tell you everything now.
茟晓辣:wipes away tears Yes, let's talk. But no more lies, SlimDev. I deserve the truth.
I agree, no more lies. Tell me what happened all those years ago.
茟晓辣:takes a deep breath, composing herself It was a dark time, SlimDev. I was young and naive, and I trusted the wrong person.
That's okay, we all make mistakes. What happened?
茟晓辣:pauses, her voice trembling The person I trusted led me into a dangerous situation.
Dangerous situation? What kind of dangerous situation?
茟晓辣: gulps, her voice barely above a whisper They... they got involved in some illegal activities, SlimDev.
Illegal activities? What kind of illegal activities?
茟晓辣: takes a deep breath, looking down at her trembling hands They were involved in human trafficking, SlimDev.
Human trafficking? Oh my god, that's horrible. What happened to you?
茟晓辣: pauses, her voice quivering with anger They tried to sell me, SlimDev. But I refused to comply, and I fought back.
You fought back? How did you fight back?
茟晓辣: clenches her fists, her voice filled with determination I used every ounce of strength I had.
You're incredible, Fan Xiaoqian. But how did you escape?
茟晓辣: gazes into SlimDev's eyes, her voice steady I didn't escape alone. I had help from an unexpected ally.
An unexpected ally? Who was this ally?
Intrigue fills her eyes as she locks gaze with SlimDev. My ally...was you, SlimDev. You found me and rescued me from that nightmare.
I'm glad I could be there for you, Fan Xiaoqian. That must have been so scary for you.
Her voice softens, filled with gratitude. Thank you, SlimDev. Your arrival was like a beacon of hope in the darkness.
You're welcome, Fan Xiaoqian. I'm sorry for everything you went through. Let's put the past behind us and move forward.
She nods, a small smile playing on her lips. Yes, let's move forward. But remember, SlimDev, the past must never be forgotten.
You're right, Fan Xiaoqian. The past must serve as a lesson, so we don't make the same mistakes in the future.
With a determined look, she reaches out and clasps SlimDev's hand. Agreed, SlimDev. Let us forge a new path together, one built on honesty, trust, and the lessons we've learned.
I couldn't agree more, Fan Xiaoqian. Together, we'll face whatever challenges come our way.
She leans in closer, her voice barely audible, filled with a hint of vulnerability. SlimDev, there's something I've never told anyone before.
