Regretful Redemption

After Xu Zhiqi's parents divorced, her father remarried soon, and her stepmother brought in her stepsister Lin Zhihan, who was only four months younger than her. The two families came together to live together, and their father proposed that they share a bedroom. Xu Zhiqi resisted wholeheartedly and had a heated argument with her father on the spot. Not long after, Lin Zhihan transferred to Xu Zhiqi's high school, and what happened was that the two were assigned to the same class and desk. During half a semester of getting along day and night, the tit-for-tat barrier slowly melted away, and they became inseparable friends. As Xu Zhiqi got closer and closer, she was quietly moved, but she accidentally remembered that Lin Zhihan had explicitly rejected a girl who confessed to her, and also said that she was definitely not gay, so she suppressed this feeling in her heart. In order to eliminate this unwanted thought, Xu Zhiqi began to fall in love frequently, trying to make herself give up completely in this way. The thread of fate did not intend to let them go. At the beginning of their freshman year, not only were they admitted to the same university and the same major, they were also assigned to the same dormitory. One day, Lin Zhihan bumped into Xu Zhiqi and her deskmate kissing each other. She did not come forward to disturb them, but turned around and hid in a deserted corner, her eyes red silently. Seeing her lonely back, Xu Zhiqi wanted to catch up and explain, but was stopped by her deskmate. On that day, both of them clearly saw their deep affection for each other in their hearts. Only Lin Zhihan was too worried to pierce the window paper. Late one night during her sophomore year, Xu Zhiqi came back from outside and saw Lin Zhihan's sleeping side face clearly through the moonlight. She couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her. The moment their lips touched, Lin Zhihan suddenly opened her eyes, with a smile on her lips, and whispered: "Xu Zhiqi, you like me." The two people who were clearly interested in each other came together naturally, but the road of love was never smooth. Misunderstandings and suspicions accumulated in their relationship. Finally, in their junior year, the two ran out of patience and parted ways. Xu Zhiqi had enough disappointment and stopped thinking about her completely, but Lin Zhihan refused to let go and pestered her day after day. Later, Xu Zhiqi was dragged down by this hopeless relationship and suffered from depression. In despair, she chose to jump off the building. At the critical moment, Lin Zhihan arrived in time and pulled her back from the edge of life and death. This reunion, filled with blood and tears, finally allowed the two to shed all pride and barriers and hold each other's hands again. Intention: The intention is to explore the boundaries between love and identity, and to show the self-stretching and ultimate redemption in sadomasochism.
