I made a dime from selling tangerines and you call me heartless?

That was the first time I saw Jiang Che fight.

He's fierce.

But obviously not.

I was fighting the criminal with all my strength, and I was terribly scared that something might happen to him because of me.

In the end, Jiang Che won.

But he was covered in blood and looked extremely miserable.

In the dim light, I saw many policemen rushing towards us.

Later, we were all sent to the hospital.

I was fine, but Jiang Che was seriously injured. I stood at the door of his ward and looked inside.

I dare not go in.

I don't know how to face his parents.

If he hadn't saved me, Jiang Che wouldn't have been injured so badly.

And at that time I also received another news that my father was arrested.

For various crimes.

If he is convicted of all charges, he will receive at least 20 years in prison.

In fact, my father and I had anticipated this day, but we didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

After all, if you follow his path, the only options are death or jail time.

He knows it himself.

I saw him in the detention center.

Dad looked very haggard, but he was still smiling when he looked at me.

"Chen Xi."

"Look, Daddy is still alive."

I……

And laughed along.

But as I laughed, tears couldn't help but flow down.

Dad...

I have already lost my mother, and now I have lost my father. What should I do in the future?

The police from the police station called all my relatives over and wanted them to adopt me.

At first, they all agreed, thinking that my father had left money for me. But two days after adopting me, they found out that I had no money at all, and threw me out like garbage.

And that's how I became homeless.

I really don't know what to do.

I……

Went to find Jiang Che again.

I thought he would drive me away and abandon me like those relatives of mine did. After all, I didn't even visit him once during his hospitalization. He must have been very sad.

but……

Jiang Che took my luggage and stuffed it into the car.

They stuffed me into the car and took me back home, to a rental house that wasn't particularly big.

It’s in that rental house.

There, I spent the happiest time of my life other than that with my mother.

"You will be my sister from now on."

Jiang Che said to me firmly.

"Ah."

I nodded.
"elder brother."

This call of "brother" will last a lifetime.

If possible, I really don’t want to call him brother, so that we won’t face such an embarrassing and awkward situation in the future.

From then on, I became Jiang Che's sister.

I also have a father and a mother again.

They were all very nice to me.

Especially good.

But I am very worried. This is not my home after all. I am afraid that they may abandon me at any time like my relatives did. What should I do then?
I thought of a solution.

I think I am a genius.

When my brother said he wanted to buy a new house, I took out the dowry my father left for me.

"elder brother."

“I want to buy two rooms, too.”

"I want to live with you guys, forever."

I thought that as long as I gave them the money, even if they really wanted to abandon me, they wouldn't be able to do so because I also paid for the house.

They can't drive me away.

But my brother didn't want it.

He said this was our home.

There was already a room for me in the house.

"But I also want to buy a room for my dad. My dad will be released from prison eventually."

I said firmly, and also made excuses for myself.

Trying to cover up his inferiority, insecurity, and fear of loss.

"it is good."

My brother agreed.

But he only took 5 yuan. I know this amount is far from enough, but he took it just to make me feel at ease.

Soon, we moved into our new home and I lived next door to my brother.

But as the contact time gets longer and longer.

I discovered that…

I think I like him a little bit.

This doesn't work.

How is this possible?

He is my brother.

But the more I do this, the more I resist, the more I will pay attention to his every move all the time.

I found that he was really completely different from my classmates.

Now, male students will always bully female students.

But my brother is different. He cares about me, understands me, but also restrains himself and keeps a distance from me.

I'm also forcing myself to distance myself from him.

Because I know it's impossible for us, he is my brother.

But the more this happens, the more I miss him.

I thought time would smooth everything out.

But I was wrong.

……

In college.

There are also many boys pursuing me in school.

There are many handsome guys and rich second-generations among them, but I don’t like any of them.

Because the person hidden in my heart can never be erased.

I know that this love may accompany me throughout my life and make me unable to love anyone else.

Graduated from university.

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang began to urge me to find a partner.

I looked at my brother, and he turned around and avoided my intense attention.

I know he must have felt it.

Because not long after that, my brother suddenly proposed to my sister-in-law.

My guess is…

He must be trying to stop me from thinking about it.

But brother, I’m afraid I will never be able to love anyone else in this life.

I went to the provincial capital.

Found my father’s former subordinates.

They were very nice to me and always called me Miss Chen Xi. They heard my brother's idea and developed very well in the provincial capital.

They wanted to hand over the company to me, saying it belonged to me.

But I insisted on starting from the grassroots.

Another two years.

My brother has a child.

My brother also became an outstanding young man famous throughout the province.

I looked at him on the stage, confident and calm, shining brightly, and I felt genuinely happy in my heart.

This is the kind of person I like.

My brother is really outstanding.

and I?
He also successfully took over the company.

But the company soon encountered a crisis.

That means the era of non-mainstream is over.

Our company also needs to transform, as the men's clothing market is no longer as easy to do business in as before.

I went against the majority opinion.

The company was required to transform and start entering the women's clothing market.

The design department was also expanded, but things did not go smoothly.

It is quite difficult for a company that is not particularly mature to undergo a sudden transformation.

But this time.

There is another software that has emerged on the market.

Tik Tok.

Originally, I was just having fun with it, but my brother told me that I could try uploading some videos of myself on it, what if I could become an Internet celebrity?

Internet celebrities.

In this era, it is no longer a derogatory term.

My brother never made any mistakes.

So I listened to him and started uploading some videos about myself online, and gradually I actually had a certain fan base on Tik Tok.

This makes me very happy.

It seems like it would be nice to be an internet celebrity.

I started taking it seriously.

Later on, my number of fans kept increasing, but the company's situation became increasingly dire and it was facing bankruptcy.

Some people in the company also started spreading gossip.
