Chapter 60
Brother and sister
Kai opened the room slightly, made sure his sister and Rose were asleep, closed the door, exhaled, walked to the balcony, turned his back to the city, and knocked on his temple three times, the sensor chip embedded in his head activated the silent magnetic wave, three seconds later, a hoarse voice sounded in his ears:
"Tsk, it's already twelve o'clock in the night. You have been breathing the air of Prehistoric country until now... Let me see... How many hours... One... Two... Three... Four... Oh... It took a total of fourteen hours... Phew... To you and me... Those fourteen hours felt like fourteen years... Could it be that after protecting your sister, you were busy buying replacements for the broken props, and then you cared about old father, my son!"
Kai hurriedly explained, but still looked at his sister's room:
- Sorry, I'm busy with personal matters and the reunion dinner!
Kai heard his father chuckle:
"Wow, so tempting, it sounds so heartwarming, but you shouldn't forget your duties and responsibilities just because you are happy about the reunion, son!"
Whenever his father's voice returned to normal, the invisible pressure from the no longer low and opaque voice immediately suppressed Kai. Now he was alone, so Kai showed all his emotions. He frowned, afraid of losing his father's heart, psychologically bearing fear, but dared not "show attitude".
As usual, Kai reached out to find any object as a fulcrum. In order to calm his mind, he tightly grasped the balcony railing, closed his eyes, and waited for the wavering to calm down, he said to his father:
- I'll learn from experience, father!
There was a soft moan from the other end of the line. Kai didn't care that his father played exciting games every time he answered the phone. He ignored the rustling sound and mouth blockage with saliva, the son only needed to pay attention to what his father said:
"Be gentle, don't compete as if you want to devoured. We still have a whole night to "talk". Heh heh. Tsk, I said you were intoxicated with fun and forgot your responsibilities, but I broke the default rule, so the whole village will tie for the score, son!"
Kai smiled and thanked his father. His father nodded and praised his good son:
"It's getting late, I'm doing 'exercises' to relax my tendons and muscles before going to bed. Goodnight to you!"
Kai didn't rush to turn off his phone yet, he was sure his father had one more thing to say:
"Ah, I almost forgot. You have to give the film crew a satisfactory explanation. Handle everything properly. The director has high blood pressure and almost had a myocardial infarction, son. Let's do this, son!"
Kai said goodbye to his father, tapped his temple lightly to turn off the chip, lowered his head and sighed, looking at his sister's room.
From the beginning to the end of the conversation, his eyes did not move away from this place that needed careful observation for half a second.
Kai walked lazily to the chair, lay on the sofa, put his hands behind his head, thinking about everything, calculating the problems to be solved tomorrow.
***
December 4
In the early morning, the city was still as bleak as a blind man groping in the dark, but the crows and owls explored the dormitory and laughed at the vultures gathering around. They occupied the campus but were not satisfied yet, so the vultures scrambled to climb the walls and fences.
Wherever they could raise their eyes to take a good look at the bait, there were many tall and short black shadows standing, sitting, and crouching around. The buffalo herd being slowed so must drink the turbid water immediately became angry, "stomping the ground and torturing the road surface."
The vehicles were blocked on the road, all honking their horns at once, causing tympanic deafness. The drivers dumped a pile of stinking stuff on the vultures' heads, and the vultures dump gynaecological on the faces of those who refused to learn in their childhood... similar to themselves. The insomniacs were angry, dug up the ancestral graves eighteen generations of a group animals who were barking human language:
- You all mommy slut, get out of here for daddy!
- Who's still chattering, Daddy will let the dog bite your mom slut and daddy's guy great-grandfather to death!
The fierce dogs and people barked loudly causing the curses to be silenced, the vultures avoided the road, the cars all drove away, and the herd gathered again, this time together, talking quietly like a family. The prey they wanted to hunt was throwing out the blankets, sitting up, stretching their shoulders and gently patting their heads to wake up completely.
Glancing at the clock on his hand, it said 5:50, he hurried to brush his teeth and wash his face, paying attention to every second and every minute.
Then he went to his sister's room, waiting for the hour hand to point to number 6 and the minute hand to move to number 1, and then knocked on the door.
Hanna laughed, because her brother never forgot that his sister always got up at 6 o'clock. Rose smiled as she watched Hanna button up her shirt, the mischievously girl teased:
- Brother is five minutes late!
Kai and Hanna laugh when friend imitates Hanna's voice:
- You forget, I sulking!
Hanna throws a pillow in your face and Kai laughs:
- Five minutes isn't enough for the two of you to change your clothes?
Rose laugh hi hi and said: go in and hug your sister, brother. The naughty girl used a subtle word and emphasized the sound of "hug" to tease. Hanna rubbed the pillow on her best friend's face.
Kai opened the door and carried Hanna to the bathroom. Then he gently put his sister on the chair, put toothpaste on the toothbrush, filled the cup with water, handed it to Hanna, and waited outside.
The brother appeared in less than half a second after hearing his sister's call. Rose laughed because Kai was absolutely precise with his timing, just like he would feel guilty towards his sister if he was even a little late. She was sure brother had his hand on the door handle to enter so quickly.
The girl giggled as she watched Kai. Worried that the chair was too low and that it would hurt her sister if she put her feet on the ground, the brother gently held her sister's back and carried her to the dining room.
Kai went to the kitchen to cook, brought the meal to the table ten minutes later. Despite the joy of three being interrupted by the street noise during breakfast, the three laughed heartily, treating it as the wind passing through their ears.
Hanna suddenly frowned and quickly put down her chopsticks drink water to relieve her choking. Rose leaned her elbows on the table and put her chin on her hands, watching Kai stroking her sister's back in panic.
She pursed her lips smiled when Kai put his thumb on Hanna's mouth, gently help sister gently wipe off the water stains sticky food.
Hanna said I stopped choking and bent down to look for the chopsticks that fell on the ground. Kai shouted in panic is watch out for your legs and let Rose pick them up, he was relieved and went to get other chopsticks.
The siblings chatted happily, Rose made a few teasing remarks to Hanna. Hanna teased Rose until the end of breakfast, she quietly to contemplate him before the sadness of separation again.
Little swallow was always afraid that others would be sad because of her. Only with brother, the sister neither wanted nor could she hide her confide, goodbye today, didn't know when would meet again.
If she attached, her brother would lose his career and hobbies. "Selfishness" would also lose the trust of his benefactor. She couldn't make him a break promise and ungrateful person, so in the midst of the solitary mood of benevolentgratitude and family affection, the younger sister still gently advised:
- Brother, please go back to the film studio!
Kai smiled softly at the nostalgic feeling:
- Reputation ruined? I don't care! Career lost? I don't need it! Promises to benefactors? - Kai smiled softly, his voice was calmer than when he reminded of his reputation and career - Promises are more important than life! - The brother gently put his hand on his sister's cheek - Everything - including me - can't be compared with my sister!
Hanna moved her mouth to speak, Kai placed his hand on his sister's lips:
- Sam alone hard to protect you. I won't let the crisis of wife's brother being hated by younger sister's husband come true!
Whenever someone mentioned love, Hanna would be shy. Now she is not embarrassed. At this moment, her brother and confidant only feel endless sadness. For her brother, that sadness is exactly what the kindness and family affection tormented his sister. Hanna does not want to leave far away, she cannot selfishly force her brother to take care of her for the rest of her life.
Rose thought from the direction of "subtlety" to the point of "sensitivity". Yesterday, she realized that "sensitivity", and now the "boundless" emotion confirmed that she has not sentience.
There is no brother in the world who is so sad that he cries when he sees sister dislocated, just like his sister can only be friends with the wheelchair for the rest of her life.
The siblings sacrificed everything for each other. But gave up their careers, didn't care about their reputations being tarnished, accepted the break a promise to a benefactor. The most surprising thing is that the brother only has his sister in his heart, everything and even himself are not equal to his sister. There is no brother in the world who thinks that his sister is the only one who exists.
Rose didn't know whether to cry or laugh, confidant also felt confused on behalf of Hanna. Her best friend valued emotions and was sometimes somewhat excessively sad, now she was in a dilemma about family affection.
The family affection that she longed for day and night is now... no... not today, which since that night of phobia, the relationship between brother and sister has become abnormal.
The brother's affection exceeded the limit of family affection, but did not muddy mind, let alone insult the bloodline, like a bunch of verbal contempt. The younger sister still blamed herself for her life always shackled her brother's mind.
At this time, she should not be little swallow, she must become a pure and innocent flower to convince her brother. Hanna mentioned that real fans are waiting for their idols:
- The halo of fame is the fantasy of ordinary fans. Personality is the pride of true fans who worship their idols. We don't know who is sincere and who is fake. Even if there is only one person left who truly cares about brother, please cherish that intention mind!
Kai smiled softly at the innocent advice, the brother to contemplate his sister tenderly:
- The boundaries between truth and falsehood, hate and love change erratically. Now cheer and praise. Tomorrow will bury, despise, falsely accuse, and push the victim into the quagmire. I don't want to bet my faith on the psychology of the crowd and then regret not being able to protect you!
Hanna couldn't refute the reasonable excuse, so younger sister persist in persuasion:
- Singing is hobby, and acting is brother's dream. Please don't give up your lifelong hobby and dream for me!
Hanna tried to stay calm but didn't dare to say what she meant. She was forced to talk less and avoid talking so that her brother's mind would be less affected by the "complex emotions".
The younger sister who had always been carefree with her brother, now she had to choose her words wisely to the person she didn't need to be cautious.
Kai laughed at his lovely sister, but also laughed at himself. He sometimes had a hard time understanding himself. Whenever he felt his sister's mind, that "sometimes" never appeared.
Kai was no stranger to things he took for granted, but found himself really... weird. He should be happy because the "mixed emotions" temporary not entangled in his mind for the time being, but here, Kai was sad and a little annoyed.
Kai understood the reason why he was not so happy, that reason became "weird" and... shy. The person who had never been confused before, now scratched his forehead with a wry smile.
For the first time, his brother lost his naturalness and wanted to say something to make the atmosphere less awkward, but he stuttered causing Hanna to lower her head to hide her slightly smiling lips.
Rose covered her mouth and smiled until her eyes narrowed, enjoying the "humorous" situation of the man god being embarrassed and shy towards his sister. Contemplate brother's sweetness and cuteness wanted to faint, so Rose sulked at the innocent and cute national sister and "glared" at her bestie with her lips closed.
Hanna suddenly felt an itch on the back of her neck. Kai only noticed that his sister was looking at Rose, so he turned around and saw Rose looking at him with a sullen face and pouting lips.
Kai was surprised didn't understand yet. Rose's tears of self-pity made him confused. The brother glance at his sister, as if he wanted to ask Rose why was sulking.
Hanna shrugged helplessly, she smiled secretly and pursed her lips to look at Kai's bitter face. The carefree brother spoiled his sister, naturally carried his sister on his back for a long journey comfortably.
Now clumsy, he didn't know how to comfort Rose, he secretly mocked himself for only being good at coaxing his sister.
When Kai thought of his sister, he found that he was really... strange, because Rose was not a stranger to him. She and Hanna were like a family. He didn't need to be confused about his sister's family, the brother smiled gently:
- Who teased my younger sister!?
After three years of sharing weal and woe, they are more intimate on each other than shadow and shape, but the confidants have never said the word family to each other.
Friendship has become a long-term family relationship, all the words of dear have become weakness. So when Rose heard Kai calling younger sister, she thought brother was joking.
Hanna gently pursed his lips and smiled at the troublesome girl who was frowning sulking. She glanced at her brother, covered her mouth and smiled happily. Kai was interested in Rose's coquettish appearance, just like the sisters acting like a baby to their brother. He teased Rose:
- Smiling makes you a beautiful girl! If you keep a straight face, you will age quickly!
Kai teased her until she laughed out loud. He stroked her hair gently, Rose was delighted but startle by the gesture of cherishing and caring.
After a few seconds, she secretly exhaled at the gentle feeling, affectionate like ordinary family affection, not strange like with Hanna.
The feeling that once made her freeze and cover her mouth and giggle now turned into an idyllic joy, a long-awaited wish come true, she was excited to see brother open his arms. The second younger sister embraced the national brother - now her brother.
Rose never reveals her sadness about the lack of affection. They have been together for many years. Every time Hanna mentions her brother, Rose frowns thoughtfully. Every time the siblings have a video call, Rose is in deep contemplative. Every time she talks to her brother across the screen, a hundred times like one, Rose watches silently every second and every minute.
At that time, Hanna pretended to turn around accidentally, Rose found an excuse to distract. The repeated expressions made Hanna think that Rose liked her brother. She deliberately left the necklace at home, and after sneaking back, she found that Rose was more cherish of the pendant than the treasure.
That happened a long time ago. Hanna could not forget the look in Rose's eyes when she was contemplate at her brother's photo. It was not the admiration for an idol, nor the infatuation for someone she liked. It was the gentle look that yearned for family affection.
The bitter tears were red with grief for the fate of the orphans at that time, now they were no longer bitter, and the warm family affection was filled with sweet tears.
Rose clenched her hands and hugged her brother tighter. She wanted to fully enjoy the contented happiness. Kai patted the second younger sister on the back, and the brother smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of his sister's eyelids:
- Already a beautiful girl! So cute!
The teasing compliment made Hanna and Rose laugh. Kai said excitedly:
- One is pure and cute, the other is humorous and naughty. Neither sister is easily bullied. I am the luckiest brother in the world!
Rose covered her mouth with a charming smile, squinting her eyes and staring at her brother, but Kai didn't understand what she meant yet. Hanna glanced at her best friend who was about to do something mischievously.
Rose laugh hi hi, holding her brother's hand, shaking it back and forth, begging him to carry on the back her in a soft voice. Kai was stunned and smiled bitterly:
- What do you mean by suddenly forcing me to carry on the back you?
Hanna chuckled causing Rose sulked:
- Brother is an idiot!
Kai smiled as if to say been fooled, Rose let out a loud ah, younger sister consecutive to hit him. Kai turned his back to his sister:
- You beat me and broke my back, I can't carry you on my back, don't tantrum!
Rose hi hi and put her arm around Kai's shoulders. The brother lifted his sister on his back and walked around. Rose was happy sang the house echo. Hanna laughs loudly with her soulmate, but she had not forgotten the important things.
She waited for her brother to put Rose next to her, and then gently reminded him to go back to the set. The younger sister lived principled life, brother could not let her feel worrying in my heart, he still found a "legitimate" reason:
- When you were a kid, you loved watching Superman, and when you grew up, you were a crazy fan of superheroes. - He slapped his head and blamed himself - Tsk, I forgot I was starring in a super hero series!
Rose pursed her lips, Hanna smiled at Kai's gloomy face... exactly... absent-minded, her brother still performed deeply, constantly pinching his head and forehead and lamenting:
- Haizz, I am only over twenty years old, am I old before my age, oh my god!
The three of them smiled at each other happily. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet when Kai thought. His brother concentrated on finding a way to deal with it, while Hanna and Rose waited silently. If he returned to the film studio, Kai was worried about his sister.
Insisting on staying would be a betrayal to the true fans, he would not keep his promise to his benefactor, and most importantly, his sister would lose the opportunity to see her brother become a superhero. This was a dream he had since he was a child. Kai was confused crazy head about whether to stay or go.
The brother is usually smart, but if it has to do with sister, no matter how big or small, he will be confused. The two girls shouldn't urge him.
Unfortunately, there are only fifteen minutes left before the semester exam, but after waiting for a long time, the brother is still sitting there stupidly.
Hanna frowned and counted the time. Rose was impatient, watching her brother scratching his head and stroking his forehead, she had to speak:
- Besides the reason why your sister can't watch your movie, betray the hearts of fans, breaking your promise to your benefactor, and paying a huge amount of money. What obstacles are you most worried about?
People's hearts are unpredictable. Before entering the profession of entertaining for people, Kai was determined to live a double life in a world where it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
For someone who would give up all fame and reputation to return to his family, property is just an external thing that he has today and loses tomorrow, he doesn't care how much compensation he has to pay. Only breaking a promise makes him think.
Rose watched her brother closely. Whatever she said, he showed a corresponding expression. So she mentioned every "attitude" again:
- When it comes to fans, brother despises the block of life. When it comes to breaking trust, brother is still confused and twisting his brain, but doesn't care at all when it comes to compensation. For brother, speaking poetically, money is just an external thing. Speaking of bad luck, once the soul leaves the body, is it possible to transfer money to the underworld? Speaking like bragging: a long list of numbers that cannot be counted throughout the year. Why are you still worrying about it and causing fatigue, my brother!
Hundreds, thousands of "money" and tens of thousands of numbers were densely piled up in the bank warehouse. The breach of contract fee was four billion dong, and even if the compensation was ten times or even a hundred times that amount, the mountain of money only lost a few pebbles, a huge pile of money was left that could not be counted.
The three words "cannot be counted" mentioned Rose's words again, the wise and clever younger sister emphasized the word "cannot be counted". This sentence is not nonsense, it reminds of a hot trend:
"What is a lot of money for?"
Rose smiled to the point narrowed her eyes as brother patted head again. This time, he seemed to wake up from a trance. Her brother happily thanked his sister for her hint.
Without slowing down for a second, he took out the mobile phone he bought yesterday and dialed the contact number of the film general directors. The phone echoed with a rumbling scream of horror:
"You get back to the film studio right now!"
Kai laughed so hard that he shook his shoulders, listening to the director's series of teaching: professional ethics, the honor of artists, and then the morality of being a human being, who would do this. The director calmed down, Kai apologized, and asked if you had taken any heart drugs yet. The director asked with a distorted face:
"What do you mean by such nonsense, you ask?"
The director was startled and quickly stopped Kai from saying what he feared most:
"Hey, hey, hey, this episode is the finale of the series, you have to fulfill your role, asshole!"
Kai deliberately turned on the speakerphone to make Rose and Hanna chuckle. The sister looked at her brother crossed legs, leaning back in the chair comfortably, unlike the headache and confusion before. Kai took a sip of tea and asked calmly:
- Have you drink any cardiotonic drugs yet?
The director lost his temper and cursed, but Kai was still muddy until the other party replied:
"Damn your whole family. If I hadn't taken the medicine, I would have had a stroke a moment ago. Damn it!"
The three siblings laughed to tears at the humorous director. Kai heard the director urging him to speak quickly, he calmly announced the important news:
- You and the crew should move to the film studio of Prehistoric country!
The director opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it anymore:
"What? Don't joke with me!"
Kai confirmed that he was not joking and the director had heard correctly:
- I will acquire Star Sky Corporation!
Star Sky - the world's number one film and music corporation, the owner of the film crew starring Kai. When Rose hint, Hanna guessed the intention, but her mood still dropped by this incredible decision. She was dumbfounded, sister was not surprised that he hid from the crew to find her. She wanted her family to be by her side, but every time if he worried too much or showed unusual emotions, the wish turned into a tossing and turning that was not light at all.
Hanna didn't want her brother to give up everything, regardless of time and space, to always run after her, and then become her shadow for the rest of her life. Now the shadow is her brother, and her brother is "it".
She couldn't delete "it" from her brother's life, so the sister could only lower her head and cry silently, grieving for her loved ones and tormenting herself with self-blame.
In any situation, Rose was always the first to feel Hanna's mood. Knowing her friend's sadness made Rose feel guilty for giving instructions to brother. Rose rubbed her friend's head to encourage her. She stood in front of Hanna so that her brother wouldn't notice her sister crying. Hanna nodded slightly to show her gratitude. Rose gently pinched her friend's nose, Hanna laughed because what Rose wanted to say was: nonsense politeness.
Rose wiped Hanna's tears and gently lifted her friend's lips. Hanna hugged her confidant, patted her back, and then faced Rose. Her confidant no longer saw her sad, and the little friend was afraid of making others lose their fun.
Rose softly sighed and "tired" to personality always took care of others first and then considered herself. The brother still smiled at his sister while talking on the phone.
- Hey, is your heart still beating, Director?
The director heard the sarcastic voice, was angry to the extent smoke was released from his ears, hugging his pounding chest.
No matter how he drink cardiotonic a moment ago, his blood pressure was still almost raised because of the incredible shock.
Kai was the richest actor and singer in the world, and the director still couldn't believe that the other party was so playing crazy. The director leaned back in the armchair, took out a towel and wiped the sweat on his face:
"You... you... really want to be... the boss of Star Sky? Worth three hundred billion King country. I say again, the worth Three Hundred Billion King Country, not the Three Hundred Billion The Sun country?"
Three hundred billion King country is the total value of the Star Sky, which translates to trillions of solar money. It is a huge sum of money, and Kai said it was no big deal:
- Today I will close the order for purchasing the Star Sky!
The director was about to say something, but Kai didn't want to waste any more time:
- I'm busy contacting Star Sky, please read the hot news, goodbye director!
Kai contact to his father and told him all the reasons why he wanted to buy the Star Sky. His father put his feet on the table and smacked his lips. Kai pretended to be startled and scared, hesitating and not deciding on the crazy idea yet, he was sure that the listener nodded with satisfaction, because the good son was afraid of his father.
Father took a puff of cigarette, opened his mouth and moaned with satisfaction from the climax coming from his lower body. Kai secretly sighed, because if he forgot to turn off the speakerphone before calling his father, the obscene sound would dirty his sister's ears. Kai did not urge him, but waited for his father to answer:
"You are the brother who coddle your sister, so I am the father must do what son wants in order to be fair!"
Kai was overjoyed to hear his father's decision:
"I'll close the deal for you! But you have to take good care of your sister, if she gets thin or loses a hair, don't even dream of becoming the boss of Star Sky!"
Kai was so excited that he kept thanking his father, causing his father to press the stop button:
"That's enough. You want your father to turn off his lust, right? Stop it now, you mad man for sister!"
Kai thanked again and said goodbye to his father. The two sisters didn't understand why brother turned on the speakerphone just now, but turned it off when talking to their father. They were confused, Kai suddenly hugged Hanna, stroked her hair, and told her the good news:
- Father bought the Star Sky Corporation on my behalf! I will be acting in movies in Prehistoric country for the rest of my life!
Rose didn't know whether to laugh or cry for her confidant. She looked at Hanna, who was frowning, with a heavy heart. But when the brother and sister looked at each other, the unhappy expression disappeared. She smiled softly and congratulated her brother for successfully resolving the dilemma. Kai was happy but did not forget his mission. He reminded his sister to change clothes. Hanna was surprised said:
- This skirt and top are my school uniforms! From before until now I still wear them, brother!
- Tsk, I don't need to know what happens on weekdays, but today you must change your skirt into pants. - He changed his annoyed voice to the school - Forcing to wear a skirt shorter than The Sun country girls' school uniform, the schools in this country are really... inadvertent!
Rose and Hanna didn't understand why their brother suddenly became so difficult. The strange thing was that he just carried Hanna into the room and went out to wait for his sister to change clothes, but he didn't force Rose to change clothes. Rose wrinkled her nose and frowned at Kai. He round eyes and pointed at himself:
- Is there any stain on my face?
Before Kai could listen to Rose's words, Hanna called out, and her brother came into the room, nodding in satisfaction at the way the trousers covered her long legs. He took out a silver autumn and winter coat and put it on Hanna, then bent down and carried his sister out:
- Do you two understand my heart yet?
The brother was careful and meticulous, but the pants were still pushed up a little, and Hanna's waist occasionally drooped. If she wore a short skirt, it would expose her sensitive areas. Rose ah ah, understood why her brother didn't force her to change her skirt.
Rose walked normally, not afraid of being irradiate by a pervert. She was also dress warmly enough, so the brother only put a coat on Hanna, so the second younger sister smiled giggle at the subtlety brother. Hanna blushed and listened to her brother's teasing:
- I don't allow any guy to "watch" my sister, except my brother-in-law!
