After she followed Li Zhenzhen into the Chen family and gradually adapted to the new environment, those memories of the Li family were slowly settled deep in her heart and rarely came to mind again.
She was still a little confused about Li Meng's apology at this moment. In her memory, Li Meng did not seem to have done anything wrong to her, she had just distanced herself from her.
"Why are you apologizing to me?" Li Ke asked.
"It's because of my childhood ignorance. I've always liked you, Keke. Even now, I still dream about our childhood. Back then, I always thought we would be best friends forever."
The older I get, the more I realize how unfair the differential treatment we gave you back then was, and how hurtful it was to a little child!
I remember when I was little, my parents would bring you to our house to play during holidays, and I was always so happy that you would come and play with me.
My parents piled up a big basin of dirty clothes and shoes and asked me to wash them. At that time, I was very playful and was actually glad that I didn't have to do these things.
I never imagined they would enslave you so much when you were so young. You were so naive back then, always so happy to come. Even if you were wronged, you would still want to come back the next time I missed you.
The weather was extremely hot during the summer vacation, making our room feel like an oven. My mother took my brother and me into the master bedroom, where we watched TV and ate watermelon while the air conditioning was on.
You knocked on the door trying to get in, but none of us paid any attention to you.
The whole family went to see a movie together, but when we got to the cinema, they only bought four tickets. They even lied to us, saying that the cinema was out of tickets and told us to sit and wait for them at the entrance.
On a hot afternoon, I wouldn't even buy you a popsicle.
There are many more such small things, and every time I think of them, I feel extremely guilty.
I really wish I could go back to when I was a child and be a sister who could protect you and take good care of you.
Because I always remember how happy we were together when we were little. We used to go buy goat milk together, steal the neighbor's puppy together, lie on the bamboo bed in the summer and watch the stars. When I was wronged, I would force you to run away from home with me.
When you were little, you were so timid. You would cry whenever I tried to scare you, but every time I was about to get a beating, you would still cry and stand in front of me, not wanting me to get hit.
We even made a promise that when we grow up, we'll buy a small villa together. I'll live on the left side, and you'll live on the right side. We'll plant beautiful flowers all around the villa and live the princess-like life we want.
Later, I failed my college entrance exam, studied computer science for a year, found a job and worked for a little over a year, then got married and lived a life that was anything but happy.
I don't want to get married or become a mother so early. I feel like I haven't grown up yet and I'm not capable of being a good mother.
But everyone around me keeps urging me to get married and have children quickly, and I've done all of that, but I'm not happy at all.
I really miss our childhood, but I'm also glad you left with your mother back then. If you had stayed with us, you would have suffered even more injustice and unfairness.
I'm so sorry. As your older sister, I failed to give you the care you deserved back then. I truly regret it.
