My Devilish Brother

  My name is Xia Xintong

  The first time I met Luo Ge was at a banquet a year ago, he was different from the boys I knew before, he didn't like to talk, didn't like to laugh, and always alone. But I was attracted by such him, my eyes couldn't move away from his body anymore

  After that day, I often went to his house with my father. Each time, we didn't talk, but just stared at him blankly. At that time, I was very curious about him. What kind of person is he? Why doesn't he like to speak? Why have I never seen him smile? Why does he always wear that maple leaf-shaped earring on his left ear? I really wanted to know everything about him...

  I remember that day, I went to the Ouyang's house with my dad again. Sitting on the sofa, looking at him in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he was staring outside, what was he thinking? Finally, I mustered up the courage to walk to his side, and I was so nervous, my heart almost jumped out. I stood beside him, but he seemed not to notice my presence. I took a deep breath and said: "My name is Xia Xintong, I'm one year younger than you, can I call you Luo Gege?" I waited anxiously for his response. He glanced at me, after a long while, he said: "Whatever!" Although it wasn't a definite answer, I was really happy because I finally spoke to him! It wasn't until later that I realized, he actually only treated me like a little sister!

  Mr. Ouyang is a very nice person, he likes me very much, and I learned a lot about Luo Gege from him. It turns out that Luo Gege has a twin sister. Moreover, Luo Gege has a girl in Haichuan City whom he likes very much, when I heard this, I felt heartbroken. Since Luo Gege liked her so much, why didn't they get together? Is it because the girl didn't like him? Did Luo Gege become someone who doesn't like to talk, doesn't like to smile, and doesn't like to be with others because of her? All these questions were answered after I went to Luo Gege's room once.

  That day, Luo Ge wasn't home, and I curiously went to his room. On his desk, there was a transparent glass fish tank with two goldfish inside, one black and one white. They were very cute, and it turned out that Luo Ge liked raising goldfish. Next to the bathtub, I found a photo of a girl wearing the same maple leaf bracelet as Luo Ge. She had long black hair and wore a sky blue dress, smiling brightly in the photo. At that time, I thought, "Is this the girl Luo Ge likes?" After returning home that day, I asked a stylist to change my hairstyle to look like the one in the photo. However, the bracelet in the photo couldn't be replicated exactly. They told me that it was custom-made by Anthony, a master who had retired from the jewelry design industry for a long time and never repeated his designs. Having no choice, I asked Singapore's best jewelry designer to create a similar-looking bracelet.

  Looking at the completely changed self in the mirror, I smiled and thought I was crazy. Would Luo Ge actually like me because of my change? And all this really came true. When Luo Ge saw me, he started to look very surprised, and then he looked at me with a blank expression, as if trying to see through me. I mustered up the courage to confess to him, and he continued to stare at me, making it impossible for me to guess what he was thinking. I was very nervous because I was afraid of being rejected. In the end, unexpectedly, he agreed to let me be his girlfriend.

  I've been dating Luo Ge for more than half a year, although I know he just treats me as another person, but I don't regret it, really not! I believe that one day, he will treat me as Xia Xintong, not her. But all of this shattered when we returned to Haichuan City!

  I'm afraid that this time when Luo Ge returns to the country, he'll go look for her. Although he told me he only has one day and will quickly return to Singapore, I asked Old Man Ouyang to bring me along as well. That day happened to be Christmas, after Luo Ge and Old Man Ouyang finished handling their business, I pulled Luo Ge to go to KTV. In my naivety, I thought that this way he wouldn't have time to look for her. But sometimes you really can't escape fate, we actually ran into each other inside the KTV. The moment I saw her, I recognized her because she was the girl in Luo Ge's photo, and on her hand was a maple leaf bracelet from the same series as Luo Ge's.

  She was originally called Dongfang Yue, and they all called her Xiao Yue. However, standing next to her was a handsome boy, who later found out was named Gu Yuexuan, and his eyes seemed to only have her in them! I saw Luo Gege staring at them the whole time, and I think I should understand now.

  I went to the private room where they were with Luo Gege, and there were many people inside. The girl who looked very similar to Luo Gege should be Ouyang Ye! After we entered, the atmosphere was very awkward. In order to break the ice, I kept singing, but everyone had their own concerns, and the atmosphere didn't change at all.

  Lin Wei proposed playing a game, Luo Gege lost and was punished to kiss anyone present. I was afraid because he kept looking at Dongfang Yue, and Dongfang Yue was also looking at him. This time, unexpectedly, Luo Gege kissed my forehead, which is the first time he kissed me. But there's a feeling of being used.

  Gu Yue Xuan took Dong Fang Yue away and didn't come back for a long time. Luo Ge also left and didn't return for a long time. Suddenly, I had a premonition that Luo Ge was going to leave me too. I came out of the private room to look for them, but in the corridor, I saw Luo Ge kissing Dong Fang Yue. They looked like a loving couple. Tears flowed uncontrollably as they discovered me, and I immediately turned around and left. In my heart, I kept repeating "Luo Ge will chase after me, Luo Ge will chase after me", but he didn't. He really didn't come after me. I slid down the wall, sat on the ground, hugged my legs, and cried desperately. Luo Ge was really going to leave me, really!

  I don't know how long it took, but I finally cried until I had no more tears to shed. I lifted my head and found that Da Ge had already sat down beside me at some point. He said "sorry" in a way that seemed like he had been holding back for a very long time, with a depth of emotion that was palpable. He said: "I love him, really love him! But I don't know what to do!" It was the first time I saw him cry, and it was heartbreaking.

  The tears that had stopped flowing again burst out like a spring, and I knew that Luo Ge was in love with her. He really loved her so much, seeing him like this made me heartache, it really did. So, shouldn't I let go now? I liked Luo Ge, but I couldn't make him happy.

  That night, I cut my long hair short, and threw away all the things that were like Dongfang Yue. I want to be myself again, to be the real Xia Xintong. I won't live in the shadow of Dongfang Yue anymore!

  The next day, I went to Jialin High School to find Dongfang Yue and told her everything that happened between me and Luo Gege in Singapore. I told her how much Luo Gege loved him and that he would be leaving Haichuan soon to fly back to Singapore. After hearing this, she burst into tears and rushed out, determined to find Luo Gege!

  I sit in front of the glass window on the second floor, watching Dongfang Yue running on the snowy ground. Tears drop into my coffee and splash onto my hand. I wipe away the tears from my eyes. Luo Gege, I know she loves you too, she can bring you happiness, she can bring you joy!

  Goodbye, brother Luo, wish you happiness!
