A sweet-looking but secretly sharp, carnivorous little sister x an all-capable, doting big brother
More than one person has remarked that Lu Yuchuan, who is as cold as ice, turns out to be a total sister-obsessed softie in private. He's practically two-faced.
With her roommates looking on enviously, Xu Zhi gets into Lu Yuchuan's car. The man in the driver's seat greets her with the same warmth he has shown for years, completely unlike his cold, ruthless demeanor in the business world. He's an impeccable big brother.
He guided Xu Zhi through her adolescence, and before she knew it, nine years had passed. Her innocent feelings for him flickered on and off in his occasional backward glances.
The car came to a smooth stop in the villa garage. Xu Zhi suddenly confessed her feelings.
The peaceful atmosphere inside the car instantly turned cold. In the darkness, Xu Zhi couldn't see Lu Yuchuan's expression. The long, awkward silence was broken only by Lu Yuchuan's restrained breathing.
"Xu Zhi, I'm your brother."
They weren't related by blood, Xu Zhi argued, but Lu Yuchuan gave no answer, looking at her as if she were a mischievous child. No matter what Xu Zhi tried, she couldn't change his response.
But, brother, is that really what you want to say?
Xu Zhi lowered her eyes to the disassembled watch in her palm. Lu Yuchuan had given it to her and told her never to take it off, but a barely perceptible tracker was attached to the back.
They met again at the hospital. Lu Yuchuan hurried over as soon as he got the message, only to see Xu Zhi peeking timidly at him from behind a doctor.
She had lost her memory. She remembered everyone,
except him.
Like a caged bird that had finally escaped, she began to drift farther and farther away from him.
His little sister finally had a life of her own. Her gaze no longer followed only him. She would throw herself into someone else's arms and coquettishly tiptoe up to give them a reverent kiss.
She would even blink her clear eyes and excitedly share sweet stories about her new romance with him.
As always, Lu Yuchuan listened calmly, occasionally voicing his doubts, while the glass in his hand developed cracks under the strain.
Why did he restrain himself and do everything he could to make sure his little sister found happiness, only to be in agony when she came close to finding it?
Not long afterward, Xu Zhi received an invitation and went to bed early after washing up. She never expected to open her eyes the next morning in an unfamiliar room.
A familiar presence pressed close behind her and held her tightly in place. The man's restrained yet unsteady voice rang through the empty room.
"Hate me, Zhizhi. I simply can't accept the possibility of your happiness without me in it."
Where he couldn't see, Xu Zhi finally let herself smile in satisfaction.
