"Hua Hua, don't do this, I'm not Shaocheng, I'm Chenxing." She tried to push him away, but couldn't. He clung to her like a fragile little animal, blatantly exposing his vulnerability.
Unable to resist, Chenxing extended her hand and patted his back.
This wasn't the Hua Hua she remembered. The Hua Hua in her mind was someone who scammed food and drinks, flamboyant and calculating;
For the first time, she realized that this big boy had such an unknown fragile core. She had only ever heard of brother-complexes, but now it seemed there was also a brother-dependence. She hadn't expected Hua Hua to rely so heavily on Shaocheng.
A bond of brotherhood indeed…
Though she couldn't put herself in his shoes to fully feel his sorrow, she still couldn't help but feel her nose sting with emotion.
"Hua Hua, actually, if you feel too lonely living alone, why don't you find a girlfriend? That way, your world won't feel so cold and empty. What do you think?"
