The wind rustles through the treetops.
With a smile on her face, Luo Xiaoli held two photo frames in her hands as she turned around from the street corner.
She wore a white dress, with a pink hair clip in her hair, and her slender legs were delicate and soft, with a pair of black flip-flops on her feet.
Passersby turned to look at her, and a young man on a bicycle was so engrossed in watching her that he even bumped into a trash can on the side of the road.
As soon as Luo Xiaoli crossed the street corner, she spotted Jiang Cheng nearby. She happily opened her arms, holding the photo frame like she was showing off a treasure, and was about to call out to her brother.
But before she could open her mouth to speak, a voice from afar interrupted her.
Do you have a girlfriend? If not, how about me?
She paused, looking behind her brother. There stood a very pretty girl, wearing a candy-colored T-shirt and a plaid mini-skirt. Her stunning figure was the envy of many, and a strand of brown hair fluttered gently in the wind.
What made Xiaoli even more desperate was that Jiang Cheng, who never really liked talking to girls, actually turned around, tilted his head, and thought for a moment. He seemed to be seriously considering her request.
A tremendous fear rose within her, and the world instantly turned pitch black.
The bustling traffic and pedestrians on the street vanished, and the three of them found themselves inside a black cube, their shadows white.
In this dark world, Jiang Cheng had his back to her and was facing her.
In a daze, Xiao Li reached out her hand to grab her brother from a distance, but he suddenly moved, his white shadow moving forward on the ground.
Inside the silent cube, only the sound of footsteps echoed, striking her heart.
"No, you can't!"
"Brother... Brother is mine, and no one can take him away!"
"If I have to take him away from me, if my brother doesn't belong solely to me, then I might as well destroy him..."
"Destroy it..."
Luo Xiaoli's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, her expression becoming dark and terrifying as if she were possessed by a nightmare. Her smiling face vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness.
In her fantasy, two blood-stained hands suddenly reached out from under the street, grabbed the girl in the plaid skirt, lifted her high, and tore her limbs apart.
With his other hand, he held his brother's hand, preventing him from taking another step forward.
I'll only stay by your side forever and never go anywhere else if you die...
Just as Luo Xiaoli's taut nerves were about to be torn to the limit and were about to snap.
When her nails dug deep into the flesh of her palm, blood instantly seeped out.
Jiang Cheng spoke up.
"I don't have any plans to date right now. Research is more important. I'll think about it later."
The turbulent emotions that were about to erupt like a tsunami were calmed by those words...
Luo Xiaoli's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, her hearing returned, and the world was no longer black.
Pedestrians continued to move about, the sycamore leaves swayed in the wind, and the bustling traffic complemented the sweltering heat in the air.
Jiang Cheng waved to Ke Bing, then turned around and saw his younger sister standing there blankly.
He walked over without noticing anything unusual about Luo Xiaoli.
Her pupils were bloodshot.
"You're out! You've been filming for so long, were those cats just too cute?"
Jiang Cheng smiled, reached out, placed his hand on her head, and gently patted it.
This action softened Luo Xiaoli's heart, which had been extremely cold, and the resentment in her bloodshot eyes vanished instantly.
My brother is such a good person. As long as he doesn't betray me and stays by my side forever, I won't kill him...
He took the photo frame from Luo Xiaoli's hand. It turned out that she had waited so long at the cat cafe to have the photos they had just taken printed out and framed so that they could be displayed in a prominent place in the living room when they got home.
The kind you can see as soon as you enter.
Jiang Cheng took a closer look and found that the photo was actually quite nice; he looked very handsome in it.
"go home!"
He pulled Xiaoli, who was standing still, and the two walked along the street toward the residential area.
Jiang Cheng bought quite a few things while shopping, including a lot of fresh vegetables. In the kitchen, he was chopping carrots into diced meat while thinking about controlled nuclear fusion.
He has set up all the parts, and now only assembly is needed. The most crucial step in this scientific research is to place the nuclear material into the instrument and keep it stable, and then examine the energy supply.
First, it must be ensured that the device can shield nuclear radiation like a canister, and that it can calm the extremely unstable nuclear structure to prevent an explosion.
It sounds extremely complicated, let alone actually starting an experiment.
He has no chance of failure. Once the nuclear material is extracted, it will be a do-or-die battle!
······
Xiao Li selected her favorite photo and searched around the living room for a good spot, finally fixing her gaze on the table next to the sofa.
There were many reference books from Jiangcheng there, and she carefully moved one out of the space.
She placed the photo frame aside and looked at the two people in the picture with delight. The way they stood, one in front of the other, made it seem as if she was nestled in Jiang Cheng's arms, while he looked at her helplessly, and she was smiling radiantly, with a cat running behind them, leaving only a blur in its wake.
It seems the time has come; Xiao Li doesn't want to wait any longer.
She rested her cheek on her hand and glanced at her brother, who was busy in the kitchen.
Although the two address each other as brother and sister, they are not related by blood. Xiao Li was actually adopted by Jiang Cheng's aunt. The two are not much different in age, only a few months apart.
She has loved her brother since she was a child, and even now, that feeling has never changed.
Previously, Xiao Li always felt that her arrival was too abrupt, and that rashly revealing her true thoughts would put psychological pressure on Jiang Cheng.
Later, he was busy with scientific research and didn't have the opportunity to talk about it.
Living under the same roof, this sense of happiness made Luo Xiaoli gradually forget the importance of expressing her feelings—leading Jiang Cheng to only treat her as a younger sister.
She originally thought that feelings should be nurtured slowly, and that expressing them at the right time would not be so abrupt.
Zhao Xuerou, who could seduce her brother, and the girl in the plaid skirt who suddenly confessed her feelings—any of these things made her feel a strong sense of crisis.
We can't wait any longer.
I need to solidify my relationship with my brother before I go to college at the end of summer vacation, so I won't have to worry about him being taken away by someone else.
Luo Xiaoli clenched her fists, repeatedly reaffirming her resolve in her heart.
She used many tricks, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was full of cunning.
What exactly are Jiang Cheng's feelings for her? Does he like her or not?
Do you want to be her boyfriend?
She was willing to give everything for her brother and hoped he would do the same.
She desperately wanted to know the answer.
Expressing my feelings seems to be a matter of urgency.
