Chapter 4 : Handsome brother
After she made sure her twin had really believed her, she sighed in relieve.
'How could he tell him that it's because her heart eas reacting to him? Even she did not know what happened to her at that moment'
Xu Zhiruo grabbed the TV remote and turn it on. After a few clicks, the TV played a newly aired movie.
The scene at the moment was the male lead confessing his love to the female lead on the top of the hill.
"What kind of bullsh*t is this?" Xu Zhixiu who was eating chips said confusely.
"Dear brother, this is called movie. But different type from the one showed is MC Island. This is a romantic genre movie. Ahh, it really is exciting"
Xu Zhiruo who has made a research thoroughly before coming to country C immediately explained what it is.
The movie or TV shows back at MC Island was pretty boring for Xu Zhiruo. They're all about sports, politics, assasination, and others. They have nothing about romance.
"Xiuxiu, you know what? I really wanted to be the person acting in the movie. It's gonna be so exciting"
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
Dark lines could be seen on Xu Zhiruo's face. Although this brother of hers is really smart and skilled, sometimes he is really dumb to the core.
"I mean my dream is to be an actress"
Fine then if he did not understand, I, the most lovely Xu Zhiruo will explain it to him.
When Xu Zhixiu heard her, he was almost chocked.
"Okhmpp...okhmpp"
"Be carefull, here drink some water" Xu Zhiruo offered him a glass of water and tapped him on his back.
"How can a lady like you be an actress, Xiao Ruo. Dad will not allow it" Xu Zhixiu said after gulping down a big mouth of water.
"Hmph, he will"
...
When Xuanyuan De opened his eyes, he saw a foreign ceiling. He then scanned the room, it did not seem to be the hospital.
When he tried to get up, pain striked him hard. "Umph"
Perhaps because of his voice, he heard sounds of footsteps walking towards him from the outside.
As soon as the door opened, a girl came running towards him.
"Xiuxiu, he's awake, he's awake" the girl turned to a young man whom she called 'Xiuxiu'.
"I can see it"
"I'll call doctor Wen" After saying that Xu Zhixiu turned away.
"Okay, I'll watch over him" She said without turning her head as she kept staring at Xuanyuan De.
"Handsome brother, are you okay? Can you see me? Can your hear me?" the girl shot him lots of question.
Xuanyuan De felt it was hard to talk so he just nod slightly.
"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine when doctor wen came"
Xuanyuan De stared at her for a while before closed his eyes as his memories came in from when he was shot. He remembered he was going to die but then when the gunshot was heard, he did not feel any pain.
Instead, he felt someone holding him, it was comfortable and assuring. At that time, when she leaned in her ear to listen to him, he saw a lotus shaped birthmark behind her ear.
'She's that girl?'
"Doctor wen, take a look quickly. See if he has a relapse or whatever it is"
His thought was interupted by her voice.
...
"This young man is fine, he only needs to rest for about a week or so for the wound to dry up" doctor Wen told everyone in the room before he went out.
"Handsome brother, do you hear that? Doctor Wen is trustable. He had cured me for my whole life" the girl said as she sat on the bedside.
Xuanyuan De only stared at her before he turned to her brother. He is not that dense to not know he did not like him at all.
Following Xuanyuan De's line of sight, Xu Zhiruo found out his brother's dull expression. "Hey, don't scare him!"
Xu Zhixiu only took a glace at her before he went out of the room.
"Don't mind my brother, he's always like that to someone he didn't know" Xu Zhiruo assured him
...
The Next Morning
KNOCK KNOCK
"Handsome brother, I brought you breakfast" Xu Zhiruo's voice could be heard.
"Come in"
"Come and take a look handsome brother, do you like it? Or do you prefer others? You can tell me, I will buy it for you" Pushing in a tray full of different kinds of food, the girl asked him.
"I'm not picky" Xuanyuan De replied.
"Ahh your voice is so nice to hear" Xu Zhiruo giggled.
"In that case, we'll choose something light for you... emm... congee will do" She picked up a bowl of congee and sat on his bedside.
"It must hurt a lot for you to move right? I'll feed you"
Before he could say anything, a spoon has been delivered right in front of his mouth.
Looking at that pair of eyes staring at him full of hope, Xuanyuan De really couldn't bring himself to reject her.
"Is it delicious?"
"En, delicious" he said giving a warm smile that could bring destruaction to the world.
"It's good to know"
Xu Zhiruo didn't stop until all the congee went into his stomach.
"Handsome brother, are you full? Do you want to eat any others?"
"No need, I'm full already"
"Okay then" she nodded
"..."
Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little akward since it was so silent.
"Err... handsome brother, do you want to play some board games with me?" Scratching her nose, Xu Zhiruo randomly chose a topic to break the silence.
"Alright" he nodded
