I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Chen Jia was walking on the street, carefully examining a gadget she had just bought, when she unexpectedly ran into Yang Xiu in a quiet alley.

Yang Xiu's appearance made Chen Jia's heart tremble suddenly, and when Yang Xiu saw that Chen Jia was alone, a complex look flashed in his eyes for a moment, and then he involuntarily blocked her way.

Chen Jia frowned slightly and looked at Yang Xiu, her face full of confusion and vigilance.

Yang Xiu's face was full of regret. He opened his mouth but didn't know where to start.

Yang Xiu's voice was low and a little hoarse, "Chen Jia, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Tell me if you have anything to say."

"I regret not cherishing it. Now it's too late."

"What's the use of regret?"

"I know that nothing I say now will help. But I feel really bad. I lost you and my own happiness. I know I was wrong. But I really don't know what to do..."

Chen Jia looked at Yang Xiu, the reproach in her eyes becoming more and more obvious, "There are big problems with your mother and sister. Your mother is always nitpicking and is not satisfied with anyone. She can find fault with everything I do, saying that my cooking is bad or that I don't clean well. If I refute her, she will cry and make a fuss, accusing me of being unfilial. And your sister is even more unreasonable. She thinks she is always right and everyone else has to listen to her."

Yang Xiu lowered his head, his face filled with shame. "I know I am weak. But they are my relatives, I cannot ignore their feelings."

"It's not wrong to consider the feelings of your relatives, but you can't hurt others because of it. Look at your family. Your mother and sister have made the family restless. Both Sima Fei'er and I were forced to leave by them. Don't you think about why the relationship between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law is so difficult? Your mother and sister don't know how to respect others at all. They only think about themselves. They treat their daughters-in-law as outsiders and make things difficult for them. And you never dare to stand up and say a fair word. You only know how to smooth things over. If this continues, who can stand it?"

Yang Xiu had a thoughtful look on his face. He knew that what Chen Jia said was very true. There had always been problems in his family, but he just didn't have the courage to solve them.

Yang Xiu suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of expectation, "Chen Jia, is there really no room for us to save the situation?"

Chen Jia shook her head decisively, "Yang Xiu, it's over between us. Don't come to me again."

Yang Xiu's eyes were full of disappointment. He was about to catch up and try to keep her, but at this moment Chen Jue suddenly appeared and blocked Yang Xiu's way.

Chen Jue's face was stern, his eyes full of majesty, "Yang Xiu, the past is the past, don't dwell on it anymore. If you have any self-knowledge, get out of here."

Yang Xiu looked at Chen Jue, opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head helplessly and left sadly.

Chen Jia looked at Yang Xiu's receding back and felt a little relieved.

Chen Jue's salary increased substantially. The first thing he thought of after the raise was to invite his sister Chen Jia to taste the wontons deep in his memory.

They came to an inconspicuous wonton stall in a corner of the capital.

The stall owner is a kind old man. In this small world, the steaming wontons exude a familiar aroma.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia found a simple little table and sat down, looking at the bustling crowd around them, as if time had gone back to those difficult yet warm days.

Chen Jia stared at the wontons in front of her and said with emotion, "Ajue, I haven't eaten these wontons for a long time. I really miss them."

"Yes, sister. When we were wandering, being able to eat a bowl of wontons was simply a great happiness."

"We were really miserable back then. We worried about our next meal every day and didn't know where to find food. I remember one time, we walked for a long time, hungry and tired, but still couldn't find anything to eat. At that time, I was full of despair and didn't know what to do."

"Remember that time when we were hungry for several days and I found that wild fruit tree? I was so excited that I quickly climbed up the tree to pick the fruit, thinking only of giving you something to eat."

"Remember, you gave me all the fruits, but you said you weren't hungry. Jue, you are always like this, leaving the best for me."

"You are my sister, of course I have to take good care of you. And seeing how hungry you are, how can I bear to eat by myself?"

Chen Jia took a bite of wonton and continued to recall: "There was also that time when we met hooligans, and you protected me behind you without hesitation. At that moment, I really felt that as long as you were with me, I was not afraid of anything."

"You were very brave too. You even picked up a stone and stood beside me. At that time, I thought, if possible, I would stay with you and protect you for the rest of my life. Sister, no matter what happens, I will never let you get hurt."

"Ajue, we have always relied on each other, haven't we?"

Chen Jue put the biggest wonton into Chen Jia's bowl and said with concern: "Sister, don't worry, I will let you live a better life. I will work hard to make our lives better and better."

"With you here, I'm not afraid of anything. I believe our future will be bright."

After eating wontons, Chen Jia and Chen Jue strolled in the bustling street market.

After a while, they came to a candy man stall.

The sugar figurine stall is filled with all kinds of lifelike sugar figurines, including cute little animals and mighty heroic figures.

Chen Jia's eyes lit up all of a sudden. She pointed at a little bunny candy man and said excitedly, "Ajue, this little bunny is so cute!"

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia's happy expression and smiled, "If sister likes it, we'll buy this."

The stall owner skillfully made a little rabbit candy figure for them. Chen Jia took the candy figure and smiled like a child. Chen Jue looked at her, his heart filled with warmth.

"Ajue, you should choose one too." Chen Jia urged.

Chen Jue looked around and chose a candy doll of a puppy. "Sister, do you think this one looks like me? It's always with you."

Chen Jia laughed, "You just know how to make me happy."

They continued walking forward, eating the candy men and talking and laughing.

Chen Jia suddenly playfully touched Chen Jue's face with the sugar man, "Jue, look at you, you look like a little cat."

Chen Jue was not to be outdone and reached out to tickle Chen Jia, "Sister is the little cat."

The two of them were playing around in the street, their laughter filling the air.

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia's brilliant smile, his heart filled with sweetness. He was willing to do anything as long as he could make his sister so happy.

Before he knew it, the lights were on and Chen Jue remembered that today was Chinese Valentine's Day. He looked at Chen Jia beside him and felt something in his heart.

They passed by a stall selling lanterns and Chen Jue stopped.

He carefully selected the most beautiful lantern and handed it to Chen Jia, "Sister, this lantern is for you."

Chen Jia took the lantern and said jokingly with a smile: "Ajue, you should buy a lantern for your sweetheart. Isn't it a waste to buy one for my sister?"

There was a strange look in Chen Jue's eyes, and he replied in a sickly tone, "I don't have a sweetheart, so I can only buy it for my sister."

Chen Jia was slightly startled, and her heart skipped a beat for unknown reason. "Ajue, you will eventually meet your sweetheart."

Chen Jue shook his head stubbornly, "My sister is the only one in my heart."
