The next moment, the two of them were already in Tong Chen's room.
"Go to bed." Tong Chen ordered.
"On the bed?"
Tong Zhen looked at Tong Chen uneasily. She already felt that it was a little strange that he wanted her to go into the bedroom with him. Now, he actually wanted her to sleep with him. What was he trying to do?
"Didn't you say that you'll do as I say?”Tong Chen glanced at her.
Tong Zhen bit her lower lip and slowly walked to the bedside.
Tong Chen also came to the bed. He held her shoulders and sat with her.
Tong Zhen lowered her head and did not dare to look at him. Her uneasiness had reached its peak.
What did he want her to do? She began to regret why she had forced herself.
"Raise your head and look at me." Tong Chen ordered again.
Tong Zhen slowly raised her head and held her breath as she looked at him.
He placed his hand on her face and gently traced her lips with his fingers.
He wasn't going to kiss her again, was he?
Just as Tong Zhen thought this, Tong Chen's lips pressed against hers.
" No…" She tried her best to break free from him, but he held her head tightly and kissed her wildly.
"No! " Big Brother…" He kissed her so hard that she felt like she was about to suffocate.
"Didn't you say that you'll do as I say?" While Tong Chen was kissing her, his hands were also rubbing and caressing her body.
His hand slid across her chest and moved to her lower body.
" No…" She still resisted him desperately. "That's not what I said. You can't…Ah…"
She screamed because his hand was on her inner thigh. She was shocked and goosebumps rose all over her body.
"You said it yourself. It's too late to go back on your word now!”
Tong Zhen's body tensed up, and her bloodless lips trembled.
"Do you know how much I want to do this with you? Tell me, can a sister do such a thing with her brother?”Tong Chen's lips curled into a cruel smile.
"Big brother, don't…"
She grabbed his hand and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
After seeing her tears, Tong Chen's anger dissipated.
He left her body and said in a tired and weak tone,"Now you know how naive you are! If you want to be my sister, stay away from me, because I might hurt you. Today's matter can be considered a lesson for you, understand?”
Tong Zhen shed two streams of tears. She closed her eyes and nodded."I know, big brother. I'm sorry.”She tugged at his unbuttoned shirt and left in a hurry.
A bitter smile appeared on Tong Chen's face. "She actually apologized to me. I did such a thing to her and she actually apologized to me? Forget it, this is good. At least she won't get close to me anymore. This way, I can completely end my feelings for her.”
Mingsheng Inn
Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Tong Zhen had no appetite at all.
"Zhen Er, why aren't you eating? Are these dishes not to your liking?" Lou Yuxuan's concerned voice sounded in her ear.
"That's not it. I'm not very hungry now. I'll eat later.”Although Tong Zhen wanted to smile at him, her smile disappeared before she could squeeze it out.
Lou Yuxuan looked at her carefully.
"It's only been a few days, but you seem to have lost a lot of weight. What's going on?”
"Am I thin? Why didn't I know?" Tong Zhen touched her face. She had lost weight? She did not notice it herself.
However, what Lou Yuxuan said might be right. She couldn't eat or sleep well these few days. She was like a wandering soul all day and didn't know what she was doing. Xiao Die thought that she was possessed by something dirty and said that she wanted to find a Taoist priest to save her.
She had never been in such a bad mood. If Lou Yuxuan had not invited her out today, she might still be alone in her room in a daze.
Lou Yuxuan observed her reaction and said,""I thought that I would be rejected if I went to look for you. I didn't expect Tong Chen to not stop me from seeing you, nor did he stop you from coming out with me.”
Tong Zhen nodded slightly.
Her absent-minded look made Lou Yuxuan feel that something might have happened between her and Tong Chen.
"Zhen Er, did you quarrel with Tong Chen?”
Tong Zhen frowned. She looked at him and shook her head."We didn't fight. We were…It wasn't a big deal.”
If only her brother was willing to quarrel with her, she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.
For the past few days, Big Brother had been ignoring her. It was as if his eyes could not see her. His deliberate neglect made her very sad. She did not understand why it had become like this.
To her, he would always be her big brother, but why couldn't he treat her as his little sister? Why couldn't they just be siblings?
In fact, it didn't matter to her whether he was her big brother or not because her feelings for him were the same. She liked him, admired him, and wanted to be close to him. She didn't want to leave him at all. She still cared about him as much as before, so she couldn't stand him ignoring her. The colder he was to her, the sadder she was. She really didn't know how long she would have to live like this.
How much longer could she endure?
Something must have happened to the siblings. Lou Yuxuan was almost certain.
Seeing Tong Zhen like this, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Tong Chen. He was jealous that he could make Tong Zhen thin and haggard because of him. In the past, he couldn't stop him from hurting his sister, but now, he definitely wouldn't allow him to hurt Tong Zhen. He would not allow Tong Chen to hurt the most important person to him again.
"If they can get back together, wouldn't it be better for Big Brother?”Tong Zhen muttered to herself.
"Zhen Er, who are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.
"I'm talking about my big brother and your sister. If they can get back together, it'll be a good thing." Tong Zhen said to him gently.”
She suddenly thought of this good method. If she could make her brother's attention turn to Lou Xuening and make him fall in love with her again, then he could treat her as a younger sister, and they could restore their relationship as siblings. Wouldn't that be great?
This should be the best for Big Brother, right? Lou Xuening really loved her brother. She would definitely bring him happiness.
"I don't agree." " He lied to my sister once," Lou Yuxuan said decisively." How can I let him lie to her a second time?" I won't allow it!"
"Don't object yet. Listen to me! My big brother is definitely not the kind of person you think he is. In the past, he could not love your sister because he had someone else in his heart, but now he has no one in his heart, so maybe this time they can be happy!”Tong Zhen tried her best to convince Lou Yuxuan.
Lou Yuxuan tilted his head and looked at her.
"How do you know that he doesn't have a sweetheart now?”
"He told me himself!" Tong Zhen said guiltily," Actually, my brother has always felt sorry for your sister. Now that he has finally forgotten that person, I believe he will be able to accept someone else again. I can see that your sister still loves my brother very much. For the sake of your sister's happiness, you should let them try, right?"”
Lou Yuxuan stopped talking and just lowered his head to drink.
Tong Zhen shook his hand.
"Say something. Are you going to matchmake them or not?”
Lou Yuxuan glanced at her and said unwillingly,""This also requires both of them to be willing.”
"If I can convince my big brother, you'll agree to let them be together, right?”Tong Zhen asked happily.
Lou Yuxuan could not reject her smile and could only nod reluctantly.
"That's great." Tong Zhen gave him a bright smile.
Tong Zhen immediately went to Tong Chen's room to tell him about this once she returned to the Imperial Residence.
Although Tong Chen's face was completely expressionless after hearing that, ever since he ignored her, his face had been expressionless.
Seeing that he was silent, Tong Zhen continued,"Lou Xuening still can't forget you. I talked to her, so I know that she really loves you. I believe that she can bring you happiness. Big brother, you've already missed it once. This time, you must grasp this opportunity.”
Tong Chen's cold gaze stopped on her face. "Is this what you want?"
" Mm…" Tong Zhen felt her heart ache. She suddenly felt that the distance between them had become further, as if she could not see the end.
"Is that your idea?"
Tong Chen's unfathomable black eyes were like two sharp rays of light shooting at her face, making her almost think that his eyes were about to spew fire.
"Big Brother…are you angry?" She looked at him in fear.
"Angry? How could that be?" Tong Chen suddenly burst into laughter. He kept laughing. "Haha…I, Tong Chen, have a younger sister who thinks so much for me. This is a blessing that I have cultivated in my previous life. I'm very happy! Haha…"
Tong Zhen looked at him blankly. She was still angry just now, but now she was laughing so hard that she couldn't stop herself. She really didn't know if he was happy or sad.
Tong Chen grabbed her hand and said with a smile,""My good sister, thank you. Big brother will not let you down.”
"Ah?"
"Big Brother will definitely get along well with Lou Xuening this time. Perhaps you will soon have a sister-in-law to call.”Tong Chen patted her shoulder and walked out.
"Big brother, where are you going?"
"When we're so happy, of course we have to drink!”He turned around and smiled at her.
Tong Zhen was stunned when she saw his smile.
Was he really happy?
She could not feel his happiness at all. Although he was smiling, why did his smile make her feel sad?
She really didn't do anything wrong, right? Really?
Tong Chen did as he said. The next day, he went to the Lou residence to see Lou Xuening.
In the next few days, Tong Chen left early and returned late every day. It was difficult for Tong Zhen to see him at all. She heard from the servants of the Prince's mansion that he went to the Lou residence every day. She also heard that his relationship with Lou Xuening had become better after they got back together. The two of them were now inseparable.
Although she didn't know if this news was true or false, what Lou Yuxuan said was similar to what the servants said. It seemed that it should be true.
This was what she had hoped for. Now, she could finally get what she wanted. Eldest Brother no longer treated her as a lover. Now, his sweetheart was Lou Xuening.
She had thought that she would be very happy because she and her brother could only be siblings now, but why did she feel sad? As long as she thought of her brother and Lou Xuening together, she would feel inexplicably sad and even angry. She did not feel happy at all.
How did things turn out like this? What was wrong with her?
Didn't she see him as her big brother?
As her younger sister, she should be happy that her older brother had finally found his own happiness, but she…
She was confused by herself. She couldn't tell what kind of feelings she had for him. Now, she only knew that she didn't want him to be with Lou Xuening. No, it should be said that she didn't want him to be with any woman. No matter who it was, she would feel angry and even jealous.
She had once said that he was sick, and now she felt that she was sick too.
The more he ignored her, the sicker she became. Now, she was beyond cure.
On this day, Tong Zhen felt depressed, so she came to the Lou residence to look for Lou Yuxuan.
The servants in the Lou residence told her that Lou Yuxuan was practicing in the practice room and asked her to wait for him in Lou Yuxuan's study room.
When she passed by the garden of the Lou residence, she unexpectedly saw Tong Chen and Lou Xuening.
The two of them stood side by side. The man was handsome, and the woman was pretty. Anyone who saw them would think that they were a match made in heaven.
Her gaze stopped on their hands, and the shock made her want to cry.
"Gege Zhen, it's you." Lou Xuening ran towards her and she gave her a hug affectionately. "You came at the right time. I've always wanted to thank you in person.”
"Sister Lou, what are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for convincing Tong Chen to get back together with me!”Lou Xuening's pink cheeks were slightly red as she said shyly,"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have had the courage to look for Tong Chen. Thank you for helping me, I really don't know how to thank you.”
"Sister Lou, you don't have to be so polite. I'm just doing what I should do.”Tong Zhen's gaze crossed Lou Xuening and met Tong Chen, who was some distance away from them. Her eyes turned hot and she almost cried.
She sniffled and forced a smile as she said to Tong Chen,"Brother, are you angry that I disturbed you and Sister Lou? Otherwise, why would you ignore me?"
" I'm afraid I'll delay your business," Tong Chen replied expressionlessly." Aren't you here to look for Lou Yuxuan?"”
"That's right. Yuxuan will be very happy to see you here. Hurry up and find him!”Lou Xuening said to her with a smile.
Tong Zhen nodded woodenly, then dragged her heavy steps forward.
After walking about ten steps, she looked back and saw Lou Xuening go forward to pull Tong Chen's hand.
She turned her head back, and two lines of hot tears finally flowed down her face.
As soon as Lou Yuxuan entered the study, he saw Tong Zhen sitting on a chair thoughtfully.
"Zhen Er, what are you thinking about?" He stood at the door for a long time, but she did not notice him. He thought that she must be thinking about something important.
Tong Zhen looked at Lou Yuxuan as if she had been woken up. "Yuxuan, you're done practicing!"
"Yes." Lou Yuxuan bent down to look at her. "What's wrong with you recently? You keep thinking about things. Tell me, what are you thinking about?”
"No, I haven't." Tong Zhen smiled and tried to cover it up." I'm just daydreaming occasionally. It's no big deal. Don't worry."”
"How can I not worry?" Lou Yuxuan grabbed her shoulder and said excitedly,""Zhen Er, you're the first woman I've ever been worried about, do you know that? I can't ignore you because I like you!”
"Ah?" Tong Zhen was shocked. "You like me? How could that be?"
"What do you mean by how?" Lou Yuxuan looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You mean I won't like you, right? Why do you think so? Could it be that you think I'm not worthy of you?”
"No, no, it should be said that I'm not worthy of you.”Tong Zhen said anxiously," I'm not beautiful. I can't do anything that a woman should do. My Ma always says that I don't look like a lady from a noble family. How can you like someone like me?”
Tong Zhen really couldn't understand why Lou Yuxuan would fall in love with her, just like how she couldn't understand why Tong Chen would love her for so many years.
Lou Yuxuan shook his head." Who says you're not beautiful? In my heart, you're the most beautiful and adorable woman. How can you be so unconfident in yourself?" Believe me, you are the most beautiful and adorable woman in the world.”
Tong Zhen thought about it and shook her head in confusion."I still don't believe you. Yuxuan, you must be saying this to comfort me.”
"You don't believe me? Alright, then I'll prove it to you." Lou Yuxuan cupped her face and quickly kissed her lips.
Tong Zhen was stunned at first, then she pushed him away forcefully.
" You…" She touched her lips that he had kissed and glared at him angrily. "How could you do this!"
Lou Yuxuan did not expect Tong Zhen to have such a reaction. This was a huge blow to his confidence. " Zhen 'er, I'm sorry. Don't be angry. It's my fault. I was too impulsive. I thought you liked me too…"
Tong Zhen's anger dissipated a lot when she saw him apologizing so desperately, but this did not mean that she had forgiven him. "I do like you, but it's not what you think. How can you treat me like this?”She touched her lips. She felt uncomfortable when she thought about how her lips had been touched by someone other than her brother.
"I'm really sorry. I couldn't help kissing you because I liked you too much.”He was willing to do anything for her, only asking her to forgive him.
He couldn't help it! Tong Zhen's eyes became blurry. This sentence sounded familiar. Oh right, her brother also said that he couldn't help himself.
Thinking of Tong Chen made her heart ache. What was the use of thinking about all this now? He would no longer be unable to control himself from her. He would only be unable to control himself from Lou Xuening now.
"Do you really like me?" She looked at Lou Yuxuan faintly.
"Yes, I like you, very, very much.”Lou Yuxuan looked at her intently. "I know you don't have too deep feelings for me yet, but I can wait for you. Are you willing to give me this chance?”
No! This was Tong Zhen's answer. She didn't even need to think about it.
However, she thought of the scene of Tong Chen and Lou Xuening holding hands. She closed her eyes and felt herself nodding.
She finally understood why he had thrown himself into Lou Xuening's arms because he wanted to forget her. It was because she was the same now!#
