You're My Only Star

Might like.

What does that even mean?

He wanted to be given a chance but what if he might not like her after all? What then?

Why did he want to give her hope?

This man.. did he want to play with her heart again? Why did she like this person in the first place? Song Xing Xing, you fool.

Song Xing Xing felt a sharp stabbing pain in her heart. Her lips quivered as she spoke and her voice sounded as if she was going to cry any time soon. "President Lu, please stop giving me hope. I don't think that I can take this anymore."

She took a deep breath and turned around to leave.

Instead of waiting for the bus, Song Xing Xing hailed a taxi and urged the driver to leave the scene quickly. Before she started to cry she needed to leave this place fast.

…

The Orchid Hotel, Capital City

Lu An Ran walked out of the elevator and headed straight to the bar. Her eyes scanned to look around the place. When she could not see him, Lu An Ran started to panic.

Just a while ago, she had received a phone call from her brother. He told her that he was at the bar in her hotel and asked whether she would like to accompany him for a drink.

Sensing that there was something wrong with him, Lu An Ran told her husband to look after their son and headed downstairs. However, she has been walking around the place for a while but still could not find her brother.

Lu An Ran looked at her phone and dialed her brother's number but no one was picking up.

Her eyes continued to scan around the room. Once she saw the sight of him sitting at the corner of the room, Lu An Ran heaved a sigh.

She walked over to the man and sat down on the one-seater sofa across from him.

Sensing a movement, Lu Xun slowly looked up. He narrowed his eyes and saw that his sister has arrived.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu An Ran asked. She looked at her brother and heaved with relief when she noticed that he was still sober. Then, she ran her hands into her hair and pulled them into a ponytail. Her gaze swept at the bottle on the table.

Fortunately, he had only started to drink.

A waiter walked over to their table and Lu An Ran ordered some lemon water. Once the waiter left, Lu An Ran turned to her brother again. "Earlier, you said that you have an important matter and would not be able to have dinner with us. Why did you suddenly show up at the hotel?"

Lu Xun poured himself a drink but his movement was stopped by his sister.

"Don't just drink. Brother, have you had your dinner?"

"Un." Lu Xun nodded. "Hotpot."

Lu An Ran stared at her brother in disbelief. She had thought that her brother had dinner with some big people. But if he was having dinner with his business partners, he wouldn't be having hotpot, right?

"An Ran."

"What?" Lu An Ran grabbed the glass on the table and poured herself a drink. She took a sip and could not get used to the taste.

Lu Xun pulled off his glasses and wiped them with a clean cloth. "Today, I was rejected by a girl."

Her movement halted.

Lu An Ran started to wonder if she had gotten drunk after a few sips.

Her brother has still not gotten over his relationship with his previous girlfriend. How can it be that he was rejected by a girl?

This doesn't make any sense, right?

"Are you not going to comfort me?" Lu Xun put on his glasses and flashed a faint smile at his sister.

Lu An Ran finally snapped out of her trance. She stared at her brother for a long time before the information finally entered her brain. "Brother, you… was really rejected by a girl?"

Lu Xun nodded.

Previously, she always heard that her brother had rejected other girls. Lu An Ran did not think that there would be a day when he would be rejected by a girl.

"No. This is not right." Lu An Ran was at loss and did not know what she should think. After a long pause, she finally bombarded her brother with her questions. "When did you like another person? Why didn't I know anything about this? Why would anyone reject you? No. No. The most important question is who is this girl? Do I know her?"

Lu Xun looked at her over-excited sister and chuckled. "Which question did you want me to answer first?"

"Tell me about this girl first. No, tell me what happened. Let me help you analyze things."

Lu An Ran was biased towards her brother. No matter what, she would think that her brother is a good person. He had good looks and know how to make money. Why would anyone want to reject him?

Lu Xun poured emptied the drink in his glass before he told his sister about Song Xing Xing.

At the end of his story, Lu An Ran had the urge to hit her brother on his head.

He was one of the top students during his study… how did he become so stupid? He deserved to get rejected.

Lu An Ran had a lot to complain about, but she did not know where she should start. Moreover... this is her brother. She could not be too harsh on him, right?

Suddenly, she had a massive headache.

"What are you going to say?" Lu Xun saw that her sister has been quiet for a long time and knew that she had a lot to say. "Just say it. I can take it."

Lu An Ran sorted her thoughts before she asked, "Brother, do you really like this girl?"

"I think so." Lu Xun saw her sister's warning gaze and thought that perhaps he had answered that question wrongly.

"When you like someone, you just like someone. What do you mean by 'think' or 'might like'? Brother, it was no wonder that the girl was furious. She would think that you wanted to fool around with her."

"I have a good feeling about her." He heaved a long sigh and continued, "An Ran, you know that I haven't been in a relationship for a long time. "

Hearing his words, Lu An Ran knew that she could not scold him. She also knew that it was hard for her brother to finally try to move on. He would always push someone away but this time, when he wanted to take a step to move forward, he had already made a mistake and everything was a little too late.

Perhaps, after a long time, it was really hard for him as well.

Lu An Ran helped her brother to analyze the situation again and heaved a long sigh.. "Well, if you are serious about her, why don't you pursue her instead? Or else, you better forget her and stop disrupting her life."
