A small stack of thick A4 paper was placed on the dark table, and Xiao Yunyun felt heavy for no reason.
If her intuition is right, then what is printed on this stack of information is the life of the brother she has never met for more than 20 years.
He is her brother and has been absent from her life. But now, through this information, she can peek into his life and know what he has experienced in the past twenty years and what kind of life he has lived in a foreign country.
After a brief hesitation, Xiao Yunyun reached out and opened the information.
On the first page, Shen Yuechuan's photo comes into view.
Xiao Yunyun's hand trembled violently.
She subconsciously stared at the photo for a long time, but no one in the photo changed.
It's Shen Yuechuan.
It’s really Shen Yuechuan.
Xiao Yunyun shook her head and kept comforting herself in her heart. This was impossible. It was not such a coincidence.
How could Shen Yuechuan be her half-brother? Maybe it was just that after she confessed that she liked Shen Yuechuan, Su Yunjin felt uneasy, so she asked someone to check Shen Yuechuan's information.
But...if Su Yunjin just asked someone to check Shen Yuechuan's information, there would be no way there would be such a thick stack.
Moreover, Shen Yuechuan grew up in an orphanage in the United States. This coincidence is completely consistent with her brother's growth conditions.
The truth is coming out.
But Xiao Yunyun didn't have the courage to face it.
She closed the document at lightning speed and tried to put the document back into the folder with trembling hands.
But halfway through pretending, reason spoke in her mind: They say that if the premonition is not good, then things are likely to be bad. Even if she put the information back, it would not change the facts.
Instead of waiting for Su Yunjin to tell her, it would be better to let her sentence herself with her own hands.
Xiao Yunyun closed her eyes, pulled out the information again, turned to the second page, and started browsing.
She guessed right, this pile of information contained Shen Yuechuan's life for more than twenty years.
From how he was sent to the orphanage, to how he grew up in the orphanage, to how he left the orphanage after meeting Lu Boyan, the information is clearly recorded.
In addition to these, there are some photos in the file, most of which were taken by Shen Yuechuan in the orphanage when he was a child. But what caught Xiao Yunyun's attention was a photo marked "evidence".
On that photo, there was only a note. The note said in English that Shen Yuechuan was an abandoned child. His mother was from City A. He asked kind passers-by to help send Shen Yuechuan to an orphanage.
Xiao Yunyun felt as if she had been hit hard, and the last bit of luck in her heart turned into smoke.
Even if the words on the note were scrawled, she could still recognize them. They were Su Yunjin's words.
This time, the god of luck did not favor Xiao Yunyun. Su Yunjin was not just checking Shen Yuechuan's background, she was confirming whether Shen Yuechuan was the child she abandoned back then.
The evidence is in front of us, and the answer is ready to come out - Shen Yuechuan is Xiao Yunyun's "never met" brother.
For a long time after that, Xiao Yunyun's head was in chaos, as if everything was rushing towards her instantly, making a "buzzing" noise, and she couldn't grasp any clues. Her mind was turbulent and turned into a mess.
Xiao Yunyun closed her eyes and covered her head, forcing herself to show her professionalism when entering the operating room and forcing herself to calm down.
No matter she likes or loves Shen Yuechuan deeply, fate will not give up teasing her because of this. She must realize that Shen Yuechuan is indeed her brother.
In this way, all the abnormalities in Su Yunjin during this period have been explained.
Not long after entering the hospital, a patient's operation failed and Xiao Yunyun was besieged by her family members. Shen Yuechuan came to rescue her. After that, she received a call from Su Yunjin.
Su Yunjin was at the airport and said she was going to fly to the United States.
Xiao Yunyun remembered that the Xiao family's business had nothing to do with the United States. Out of curiosity, she asked Su Yunjin why she went to the United States. Su Yunjin just said that she had something to do and that she would tell her something in the future.
At that time, Su Yunjin went to the United States to look for Shen Yuechuan. What she wanted to tell her was that she actually had a brother.
But in the United States, because Lu Boyan blocked the news about Shen Yuechuan, Su Yunjin should not receive any goods.
Until Su Yunjin returned to City A to attend Su Yicheng's wedding and saw Shen Yuechuan at the airport.
If I remember correctly, the first time Su Yunjin saw Shen Yuechuan at the airport, she blurted out: "Child."
Xiao Yunyun noticed something wasn't right about Su Yunjin's expression. Out of curiosity, she didn't realize that Su Yunjin had never called her so affectionately in so many years.
Thinking about it now, Su Yunjin's name at that time must have been Shen Yuechuan.
Shen Yuechuan should look very similar to his father.
That's why Su Yunjin became suspicious and made some insinuations about Shen Yuechuan's family background to initially determine whether Shen Yuechuan was the child she gave birth to that year.
The answer is yes.
Xiao Yunyun recalled carefully that Su Yunjin should have obtained this information on Su Yicheng's wedding day. From that day on, Su Yunjin began to object to her contact with Shen Yuechuan, and even arranged for her to go on a blind date with Qin Han.
She mustered up the courage to confess that she liked Shen Yuechuan, but Su Yunjin sadly told her that if she had to be with Shen Yuechuan, not only would she not be happy, but she would also have to bear a lot of pain.
Now, Xiao Yunyun finally understood what Su Yunjin meant.
Su Yunjin didn't mean that Shen Yuechuan couldn't give her happiness, she meant that it was against ethics for them to be together. They had to face not only worldly opposition, but also the consequences of violating ethics.
No matter how powerful she and Shen Yuechuan were, they probably wouldn't be able to bear those consequences.
Before the tears fell, Xiao Yunyun put the information back into the document bag and put it back in its place as if it had not been touched.
Xiao Yunyun's heart seemed to be blocked by something. She seemed not to breathe for a long time, and she didn't know how she left the hotel. When she came to her senses, she was already on the overpass.
During the rush hours after get off work, young men and women passing by the overpass walk in a hurry. Some are snuggling sweetly in pairs, while others are walking alone wearing headphones.
Under the overpass, there is a spacious road. On the left are bright car headlights, and on the right, all red car taillights. Cars in both directions are speeding on the road, not knowing where they are going.
Xiao Yunyun was lying on the railing of the overpass. After all, she still couldn't hold back her tears. The big tears dropped one after another, and they fell down like broken pearls, soaking the railings on the overpass.
At this moment, Xiao Yunyun had to admit that Su Yunjin was right, and it really hurt.
She was extremely familiar with the organ called the heart, but this was the first time she knew that this place could hurt like this.
Every breath of the respiratory tract and every beat of the heart were accompanied by a needle-like feeling. One after another, she could not see or touch the wound, and the severe pain spread savagely throughout her body.
Xiao Yunyun choked with sobs and finally couldn't help crying.
"With love, people will eventually become brothers and sisters." She originally thought that this was just a joke.
But now, such a joke has become a reality for her, but she can't tell anyone, not even her closest friend, Su Jianan.
After coming to City A for so long, Xiao Yunyun felt lonely for the first time.
When he first decided to be an exchange student at University A, Xiao Guoshan once told Xiao Yunyun that City A is a big city, and you have to make new friends there and adapt to a new environment again, maybe for a long time.
You will feel lonely, are you sure you can overcome it?
Xiao Yunyun still remembers that she answered Xiao Guoshan very energetically at that time: "No matter how big a city you work hard for, young people will never be lonely if they have dreams!"
At that time, Xiao Yunyun never thought about love, let alone that she would fall in love with someone in City A.
That person, after all, is her half-brother.
She had lived smoothly for more than twenty years, but maybe the world couldn't bear to see her smooth life anymore, so he played a big joke on her.
Xiao Yunyun folded her hands on the railing and buried her head. Finally she could no longer control her tears, and her arms were soon wet with salty tears.
She cried very repressedly, her shoulders twitching under the dim street lights. People passing by looked at her and hurriedly went their own way.
In this crazy-paced city, no one has time to care about a stranger who is a stranger to them.
Xiao Yunyun didn't know how long she had been crying. When she looked up, there were still the same number of people crossing the overpass, and the road under the overpass was still crowded with vehicles.
This city, this world, has not changed in any way because of her sadness.
Just like Shen Yuechuan is her half-brother, it is an irreversible fact and there is nothing she can do about it.
However, looking at it on the other hand, isn’t this a good thing?
Anyway, Shen Yuechuan didn't like her. There was no possibility of them being together in the first place. Although it is completely gone now, there is an inseparable connection between them.
She is Shen Yuechuan's sister. Although she cannot hug or kiss Shen Yuechuan, she can act coquettishly and openly with her, spy on his life, find fault with his girlfriend, and ask him to pamper her and protect her.
She even had a reason to look for him at any time.
As for the small ambiguity that happened between them, they can probably avoid talking about it from now on and treat it as if it never happened.
She didn't know when she could really forget those things, but what she was sure of was that Shen Yuechuan, a prodigal who played with the world, might not remember what he had done to her now.
There's nothing wrong with this. It's her business to like Shen Yuechuan, as long as she remembers what happened between them, and as for Shen Yuechuan, it's fine as long as he is happy.
Thinking about it, Xiao Yunyun raised her head, wiped away her tears and walked forward with the flow of people.
As long as you move forward and don't look back, all pain and hardship will become a thing of the past.
Maybe one day, she can let go of Shen Yuechuan and meet her true love.
However, that day should take a long time to come. For the time being, she still couldn't convince herself to forget Shen Yuechuan right away, even if he was her brother.
