I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

The early morning sunshine shines on the streets and alleys of the capital, bringing vitality and vigor to the new day.

As usual, Chen Jue was dressed in the uniform of the Dali Temple Shaoqing, preparing to go to the Dali Temple to work. His tall and straight figure and handsome face looked even more heroic in the sun, attracting many passers-by's attention along the way.

However, he did not realize that at a street corner, a pair of eyes were looking at him expectantly. This person was Liao E. Since she had seen Chen Jue at her brother Liao Feng's house last time, her admiration for Chen Jue had become stronger and she could never forget him.

Today, she deliberately waited early on the road that Chen Jue must pass, wanting to meet him again.

When Chen Jue's figure appeared at the end of the street, Liao E's heartbeat quickened.

She took a deep breath, straightened her clothes and hair, then walked over quickly with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, Chen Shaoqing!"

Liao E's voice was clear and pleasant, and her face was filled with a sweet smile.

When Chen Jue heard the voice, he looked up and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

He felt a little helpless, but still responded politely: "Miss Liao, good morning. Why are you here?"

A trace of shyness flashed in Liao E's eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, "I... I just happened to pass by here and didn't expect to meet you. Chen Shaoqing, are you going to the Dali Temple?"

Chen Jue nodded, "Yes, I'm going to work. Miss Liao, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

As he said this, he was about to move on. Seeing this, Liao E hurriedly reached out to stop him. She took out an exquisite purse from her bosom and handed it to Chen Jue.

"Chen Shaoqing, wait a minute. Chen Shaoqing, this is the purse I embroidered for you myself, I hope you can accept it."

The purse was embroidered with exquisite patterns, fine silk threads and bright colors. It was obvious that Liao E had put a lot of thought into it. But Chen Jue did not reach out to take it, and his face became a little serious.

At this time, Chen Jue was very conflicted. He could feel Liao E's sincerity, but he also knew that a direct rejection might hurt her, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. But he knew that his feelings for Chen Jia were unique, and he must not give Liao E any wrong signals and let her have unrealistic fantasies.

He sighed silently in his heart, telling himself that he must handle this matter firmly and not make the situation more complicated.

"Miss Liao, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept this purse."

Liao E's hand froze in mid-air, her smile gradually disappeared, and a trace of loss and grievance flashed in her eyes.

"Why? Chen Shaoqing, I embroidered this for you with all my heart."

Chen Jue looked at Liao E, feeling somewhat reluctant, but he knew he had to make her understand his attitude.

"Ms. Liao, I appreciate your kindness to me, but I already have someone I love, so I can't accept your gift. I don't want to cause you any misunderstanding or hurt."

When Liao E heard Chen Jue's words, her body trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked into Chen Jue's eyes, as if she wanted to find a flaw in his eyes.

"Chen Shaoqing, I don't believe it. I have never heard that you have someone you like. Are you lying to me?"

"Miss Liao, I'm telling the truth. She's the only one in my heart, and there's no room for anyone else. So, please take back this purse."

He looked at Liao E with a hint of apology in his eyes, but more of it was firmness and determination.

Tears welled up in Liao E's eyes. She held the purse tightly, and the blue veins on the back of her hand were prominent due to the force.

"Chen Shaoqing, why can't you give me a chance?"

"Miss Liao, you are very good. I hope you can find your own happiness soon."

She slowly put down the purse in her hand and wiped her tears. He bowed slightly to Liao E, then turned and continued walking towards the Dali Temple.

When Chen Jue arrived at the Dali Temple, his mood had gradually calmed down. He sorted out his thoughts and threw himself into the busy official duties.

When Liao Feng learned that his sister Liao E had given Chen Jue a purse, he felt something was wrong. On the one hand, he was worried that his sister's feelings would be hurt, and on the other hand, he felt that this matter might affect his friendship with Chen Jue. So Liao Feng decided to go to Chen Jue to explain.

Liao Feng hurried to the Dali Temple. When he saw Chen Jue, he said a little embarrassedly, "Chen Shaoqing, I heard that my sister sent you a purse. I'm really sorry. My sister is young and naive. She may have caused you trouble."

Chen Jue smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Brother Liao, it's okay. I understand Miss Liao E's feelings, but I already have someone in my heart, so I can only disappoint her kindness. This is not a big deal, you don't have to take it to heart."

Liao Feng felt a little relieved when he heard Chen Jue say this. He patted Chen Jue on the shoulder and said, "Chen Shaoqing, I'm glad you think so. I will also persuade my sister to stop bothering about this matter."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Liao Feng said goodbye and left. Chen Jue continued to devote himself to his busy official duties. He did not take this matter too seriously. There was only Chen Jia in his heart, and other people and things could not shake his feelings.

On the other hand, Chen Jia didn't know what had happened. She happily took the clothes she had made for Chen Jue and prepared to give them to Chen Jue. When she came to the place where Chen Jue often appeared, she unexpectedly met Liao E.

When Liao E saw Chen Jia, the jealousy and dissatisfaction in her heart instantly erupted like a volcano.

She strode forward, anger burning in her eyes, and said coldly: "Humph, a second-married woman dares to pester Chen Jue, don't you feel ashamed?"

Chen Jia responded without flinching: "Miss Liao, my past has nothing to do with you."

Liao E sneered, her face full of disdain: "You are just a woman who has been abandoned. What qualifications do you have to be with Chen Jue? Do you think Chen Jue will always like you? He is just confused by you now. When he wakes up, he will definitely regret being with you. Besides, look at yourself, how can you compare to me? I am young and beautiful, and my family background is better than yours. Only I am worthy of Chen Jue! He is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, with a bright future. You are not worthy of him at all!"

Chen Jia smiled and said calmly: "Miss Liao, love is not measured by external conditions, but by the harmony of hearts. Even if you have a good family background and good looks, if you are not sincere, you will not be able to win Ajue's heart."

Liao E was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Chen Jia and said, "Don't be too proud. I won't give up just like that. I will definitely let Chen Jue see my good side and let him know that you are not worth his efforts at all."

Chen Jia shook her head gently, with a hint of pity in her eyes: "Miss Liao, love is not something you can fight for. No matter how hard you try, you can't change the fact that he doesn't love you."
