Her one and only

Her words shocked Song Yun, but Yan Shu didn't care. With tearing eyes she looked out through the window at a boy tying up a girl's shoelaces. When done, he held her hand and led the way. Yan Shu followed them with her gaze until they disappeared in the distance.

This reminded her of her brother Lu Xingyan. He was five years older than her, and the only person who truly cared for her.

When their mother abandoned them for money, he worked hard to support them and even paid her school fees.

When there wasn't enough food for the two, he would sleep hungry so that she wouldn't.

When her classmates bullied her, he provided a shoulder to cry on.He comforted her, understood her, protected her, cared for her, made her laugh, tutored her, fed her, nursed her, unburdened her, warmed her and loved her.

Lu Xingyan, her one and only brother.

She knew how he felt when their mother used her power to take them.

She saw the pain in his eyes when he wasn't able to protect her.

He used to torture himself by not talking to her.One day Yan Shu found him sitting by the garden. She sat beside him and he stood to leave.

She grabbed his wrist and asked, "Xing gege, why are you doing this to me?"

"Because I don't deserve to talk to you," he replied and left.

Tears pooled in her eyes before finally overflowing. But little did she not know that he too cried for a long time in his room after that.

She knew that he's the one who helped her escape. When she couldn't book any tickets to Country A, he gave her tickets for free through an unknown person. 

And when she contacted a friend to hide her escape, her friend told her that it had already been done by an unknown person.

Yan Shu just knew that it had been her brother.

She remembered how he used to tie her shoelaces, how he braided her hair in an Indian style or even how he tutored her to get better grades.

Whenever she remembers him she wants to run back and cry on his arms. But she knew this couldn't be done."Yanyan," Song Yun called and shook her friend trying to wake her up.

Yan Shu got worse the more time passed, so Song Yun took her out of the restaurant and hailed a taxi for them.

When they arrived home she helped her friend into the shower.Yan Shu's mind cleared somewhat after the shower.

She put on white panties and an oversized T-shirt that belonged to her brother. She brought it along with her on her escape and would wear it whenever she missed him.She opened her closet, moved all clothes aside and pushed open a secret compartment.
