Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1091: Chapter 645: Forbidden Love

After taking a shower, Luoyang, as usual, cheerfully ran to her brother’s room hugging her pillow. Her brother had been sleeping at the company for the past few days, and she had so much to tell him.

She pushed open Luo Shui’s bedroom door, only to find that he wasn’t there. Her eyes rolled mischievously as she climbed into her brother’s bed...

When she woke up again, Luoyang found herself curled up in her brother’s arms, so she giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, ”Brother, I want to sleep here.”

Luo Shui smiled dotingly at his sister, ”Yangyang is already seventeen, you can’t stay in your brother’s bed anymore. Brother will carry Yangyang back to her own room.”

”No...” Only then did Luoyang notice that her brother was actually carrying her into her own bedroom, and she twisted her body in protest, ”Brother hasn’t been back for several days, I want to chat with him, I don’t want to go back to my room.”

”Yangyang, be good, it’s too late, we can talk another day.” Luo Shui’s tone was indulgent, yet firm. Noticing the change in her brother’s attitude, Luoyang pouted, her eyes glistening with tears.

Luo Shui looked at his sister with a headache, ”I’ll chat with you for ten minutes, okay?”

”No, I want brother to stay in my room with me, you’re not allowed to leave.”

Luo Shui carefully placed her back on the bed, gently covering her with the quilt and softly stroking her forehead, ”Yangyang, you’re a big girl now, there are some things you need to pay more attention to.”

”What do you mean?” Luoyang sat up with a gloomy expression, ”What do you mean, brother? Do you find me a bother?”

”Yangyang, there are some things... you understand even if I don’t say it. Don’t be stubborn, be good...” Luo Shui sighed softly as he stroked his sister’s forehead. After talking with their dad and recalling Luo Ye’s warning, he knew he had to be more mindful of how he interacted with his sister.

When she was younger, he could spoil her all he wanted, but now that she was a young lady, it wasn’t just their thoughts that mattered; they couldn’t ignore what others might think.

He didn’t care, but his sister was a girl, and reputation was very important. He couldn’t let his indulgence harm her.

”Did dad say something to you? I’ll go find him!” Luoyang said as she was about to put on her shoes and head out, but Luo Shui quickly pulled her back onto the bed, ”Yangyang, dad didn’t say anything. Sit down and listen to brother.”

Since things had come to this point, being vague would only make her more upset. So he might as well lay it all out.

”Go ahead,” Luoyang said with a stern face.

”In the past, mom and dad were busy with work and didn’t have time for us. During that time, I resented them, even hated them, thinking they shouldn’t put their reputation first and leave us siblings behind. Especially dad, knowing that family couldn’t accept him, but still clinging to it. So at the time, my wish was to do my best so that Yangyang could live a good life without relying on them. And when they got old, they could live with their regrets!”

After a pause, Luo Shui continued, ”But now, gradually, I understand dad’s helpless state of mind. Of course, even now, I still don’t agree with his actions, yet I no longer reject him like I did before.

Because of my extremism back then, my sister always felt closest to me. But Yangyang, living in this society, we cannot ignore other people’s perceptions.

It’s not important for me as a guy, but for Yangyang, it is. Anything that might harm Yangyang, even the slightest bit, is not okay.”

”I don’t care,” Luoyang said, pouting, ”Brother, I won’t like any other boy. I want to always be with you.”

”Silly girl, how is that possible?” Luo Shui said, amused, as he patted her head, ”Yangyang, I am very happy that you rely on me, but staying together forever isn’t realistic...”

Luoyang quickly interrupted Luo Shui, ”I’m serious! Brother, I’ve thought about this many times. I like you, not just sibling love, but also romantic love. So my feelings for you are more than just sibling affections, they include love too.

Because of this, I’ve been sad, I’ve been heartbroken, but ultimately, I’ve convinced myself. Life is short, and I don’t want to wrong myself. Since I like brother, I want to be with him.

If one day, brother has a sister-in-law, I’ll just quietly watch from the side, as long as brother visits me occasionally. If...if one day, brother no longer visits me, then I will commit suicide!”

Luoyang was raised single-handedly by Luo Shui, so he knew her temperament very well. If she said this, she would certainly do it!

In that instant, the air in the room seemed to freeze. Luo Shui stared dazedly at his sister, unable to utter a single sound for quite a while.

Although there were hints of this in the warnings from dad and Luo Ye, he thought they were overthinking it.

In his view, his sister at most relied on him more than on their parents, and there was no way anything they worried about would happen.

But now, he realized he was wrong. Maybe there’s some truth in the saying that outsiders see clearer than those immersed in it.

Judging by how determined her character was from her weight control, she loved dancing, hence she was willing to be so strict with herself for it.

From age nine to seventeen, over eight years, she followed her dance teacher’s meal plan rigorously. How much willpower does that take? For a girl her age to continue resisting the temptation of food requires immense determination.

So at this moment, he felt immensely remorseful.

It’s all his fault for not thinking of this issue earlier. If... he didn’t dare to think further!

”Yangyang...” Luo Shui’s voice was hoarse, ”Yangyang, I’m sorry, really... sorry...” Apart from this, he didn’t know what to say. It was his extremism that created his sister’s extremism. If his sister couldn’t get over this, he would have a guilty conscience for the rest of his life!

”There’s nothing to be sorry about. From childhood to adulthood, being with you, brother, I’ve been very happy. Wherever you are is Heaven for me.

I don’t have high demands, just that you occasionally visit Yangyang, and that’ll be enough. So, if you find a girl you like, don’t feel burdened.

I never thought of forcing you to give up your happiness. I just wanted to silently be by your side. Originally, I didn’t want to say this.

But, if I don’t say it, you’ll try hard to push me away, which I cannot bear, so I had to do this.

I know that doing this will make you sad and upset, but I really have no choice. I must be with you!”

While saying these words, the still childish face showed a sadness and determination beyond her age. The tears she tried hard to hold back glistened in her eyes, and seeing this made Luo Shui’s heart ache. He reached out his hand to help wipe them away, but halfway through, he withdrew his hand.

Before it was said clearly, he was always wholeheartedly pampering his sister. Now that it’s clear, he really didn’t know what to do.

He never thought such a thing would happen to him. His feelings for his sister were like those of a brother and a father, but he never thought in this direction...

”Brother, go back to sleep. Tomorrow, I will still be your sister, your dearest sister...” Luoyang leaned forward and planted a light kiss on her brother’s forehead, giving him a little push, ”I’m tired. If you don’t leave now, then stay and sleep with me.”

”I’ll go back to my room.” Luo Shui fled the room as if escaping.

...

Luo Ye, sleeping drowsily, heard her phone ringing crazily. She reflexively got up quickly, glanced at the phone number, sighed softly, and answered it.

On the other end, Luo Shui’s voice was indescribably low: ”Luoluo, sorry for disturbing you so late, but I really didn’t know who else to call.”

Hearing him address her as ”Luoluo,” she knew it was a private matter. Luo Ye didn’t beat around the bush: ”Did you talk with Yangyang?”

”Yes. After coming home, Dad also talked to me, and then I talked with Yangyang. As a result...” Luo Shui recounted the details, his voice filled with indescribable frustration.

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence before Luo Ye asked, ”What do you want to do?”

”I don’t know. Because I don’t know, I wanted your opinion. I don’t want to hurt my sister, but I’m afraid she’ll be heartbroken, I...” Luo Shui couldn’t continue.

Luo Ye remained silent for a long time without speaking.

She had noticed early on that the relationship between Luoyang and Luo Shui wasn’t quite right, but from her perspective, she couldn’t say much.

This time, if Luo Shui hadn’t fallen for Luo Lian, she wouldn’t have spoken up. Luo Lian and Monique had caused so many incidents because of the sister’s forbidden love, and that’s why she had no choice but to bring it to light.

She had originally thought Luoyang had a deep brother complex but didn’t imagine... it would reach this extent.

”Luoluo... are you still there?”

”I’m here.” Luo Ye sighed softly, ”Luo Shui, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but the affection between you and your sister is too special.

Since childhood, Luoyang has been attached to you. At this point, she won’t listen to anyone, and if it’s handled poorly, it could lead to unmanageable consequences.”

”Then what should I do?” Luo Shui’s voice was full of pain.

”Honestly, I don’t know either.” Luo Ye bitterly smiled. She wasn’t omnipotent. If there were a way, she would have reminded Luo Shui long ago.

Because she saw that the affection between the siblings was a deadlock, she kept quiet. Now, asking her for advice... she really had none.

”Forget it, just leave it like that. At worst, I’ll accompany Yangyang for life. Luoluo, thank you for listening to me ramble. I’m hanging up now.”

Before Luo Ye could speak, the tone had already turned into a dead line.

Luo Ye stared blankly for a moment, softly sighed. This matter could only be left as is. Any issue could be advised on, except for this one, as an outsider, she couldn’t.

”Answer the phone... answer the phone...”

Before she could lie down, the phone rang again. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian () and vote with your recommendation ticket and monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
